much. that does it for us, a double edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online, on facebook and on twitter. lindsey reiser is in for chris jansing reports right now. good afternoon, everybody. i'm lindsey reiser in for chris jansing here at msnbc headquarters in new york city. any minute now we'll get an update from philadelphia after the deadliest mass shooting in that city in decades on monday left five people dead. this morning the suspect behind the attack made his first appearance in court where he now faces 11 charges including several counts of murder and aggravated assault. the tragedy and fear of the moment captured in this image from the philadelphia inquirer, a child's mint green bicycle abandoned at the scene. the mayor now demanding change. >> this country needs to re-examine its conscience and find out how to get guns out of

dangerous people's hands. also this hour, breaking news, a showdown in international waters. the u.s. navy says they stopped iran from suspected attempts to seize two oil tankers. and just 48 hours ago, scorched earth, the new unofficial hottest day in human recordkeeping. we're going to begin the hour, though, with the number 351. that's the total number of mass shootings in the united states so far this year according to the gun violence archive. it affected many american cities this july 4th weekend. a shooting at a block party on sunday in baltimore left two dead and 28 injured. in philadelphia, five were killed including a teen boy. and more than a thousand miles away in fort worth, texas, three people died after gunfire broke out. on independence day, a celebration turned tragic in louisiana leaving three people dead. police there say it was hard to reach victims because of so many parked vehicles belonging to

families and friends in the crowds. in our nation's capital, a 9-year-old and teen are among the nine injured in a drive-by shooting that police say targeted a july 4th party. president biden addressed the series of shootings in a statement on tuesday writing that he and the first lady, quote, pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence. nbc's rehema ellis is following the shooting in philadelphia. the suspect appeared in court for the first time a few hours ago. what more can you tell us ahead of this press conference we're expecting any moment? >> i can tell you i expect that we will hear a lot of outrage and disappointment and heartbreak from the members of the community as well as law enforcement because we heard some of that yesterday. what we know already, lindsey, you pointed out that a 40-year-old suspect was arraigned in court today. he's being held without bail. he appeared via closed circuit tv. he was appointed a public defender. the judge asked the suspect questions in an effort, it

seems, to discern whether or not that suspect could tell the difference in what was going on. he got yes and no answers, which seemed sufficient for the judge. again, he's being held without bail. we also learned that he is from this community where all this heartbreak was rained down upon over the weekend, and maybe that's even more heartbreaking to people. we learned something about some of the victims, one a 15-year-old as you mentioned. his mother spoke to our affiliate, wcau tv in philadelphia telling him that her son was on his way to the corner store and when the shots rang out, he went to help a friend, and then he was killed himself. she talked about how he lit up the room when he walked into a place, and that he was just someone who it was typical of him to want to help, and now her baby is gone. so there's heartbreak. we're going to hear some of that. also from public officials we

heard yesterday, just the disappointment, the frustration with the number of guns in the community and the violence. outside of this, philadelphia has had 212 homicides just this year alone. authorities say that's down by 19%, but that's little comfort to people who say look what's happened now, and authorities really want to see something happening in this country in reference to gun safety. they say they're overdue for that. one person we heard from the community who was not a victim of this violence talked basically about being a victim and saying her family is concerned about her safety, and she thinks it's time for her to move. lindsey. >> all right, rehema ellis, thank you so much. of course we will be bringing you that live news conference as soon as it begins. thank you for that update. now to some breaking news from the gulf of oman. earl yesterday today there were two suspected iranian navy seizures of two separate tankers in the gulf of oman.

both took place in waters between iran and oman after they had traveled through the port of hormuz. also with us is former deputy assistant secretary of state, joel rubin. courtney, first to you. what more can you tell us about this? >> there were two separate incidents. one occurred without a lot of o'incident, that was about 1:00 in the morning local time when an iranian naval vessel approached a tanker, a marshal flag tanker, that we're told was loaded with oil as it had just moved through the strait of hormuz. the u.s. military official i spoke with said it was in international waters at the time, and the iranian vessel was trying to get it to stop, presumably so that they could board and seize it. well, the u.s. navy sent the u.s.s. mcfall, which is a destroyer to the scene. when it arrived on scene, the iranian boat, the warship took off without any further

incident. fast forward about three hours later when the u.s. navy received a distress call from another tanker, this one called -- you can see it here. you can see actually in this overhead video, there's an iranian navy ship. it's about a nautical mile away from it. the u.s. navy got the distress call, dispatched to the scene. they stayed in communication with that tanker there called the richmond voyager. during that time, the iranian vessel fired on the tanker striking it near where the crew lives and but fortunately there were no casualties. but the vessel did sustain some damage from this small arms fire. the u.s. navy put out some still photos showing what appeared to be large bullet holes in the side of that richmond voyager, that tanker. according to u.s. military official, when the mcfall arrived on scene, the iranian

navy ship changed course and took off. but in both cases, this u.s. military official says it appears that the iranian navy was trying to stop these ships, board them, and presumably to seize them, both of them loaded with oil. the second one we're seeing again here in this video from the u.s. navy allegedly was heading from uae with oil that was headed towards the united states, lindsey. >> i mean, joel, given what courtney just said, it looked like they were trying to stop the tankers, board them, and presumably maybe take the contents of that oil. how concerned are you about these suspected seizures? >> well, lindsey, these are very concerning without a doubt. iran should not be boarding a third country craft in international waters to seize the oil. that's a no-go, and it's a good thing our navy is out there protecting the flow of oil in the gulf. the context right now is clear, which is that iran and the international community have multiple disputes.

there's the nuclear dispute without a doubt, always raising concerns here in washington. there's the dispute about iranian behavior and meddling in the region in multiple countries, in lebanon and syria and iraq and elsewhere. these are not being resolved. there has to be some kind of process to create some guard rails on this relationship. but what iran did in these international waters is a clear no-go. and fortunately our navy was there to stop it. >> what are the larger implications of these acts, joel? >> the larger implications without a doubt are that the american naval presence has to be maintained there in the region, that countries depend on it, not just in the gulf region but across the world. oil flow matters to the global economy. it matters to ensuring that there's stability in pricing, that there's stability in economic activity, and so the u.s. navy has been guaranteeing that for decades and needs to continue to do that. again to the bigger picture,

lindsey there has to be some kind of tlak program underway that gets iran corralled. it gets it back in line with international law and multiple issues. this would be a violation of international law and going into international waters and seizing another country's ships. that process right now, the international diplomacy related to iran is very truncated. it is not making enough progress, and there has to be some give. i want to also mention that the critical point here is that when president trump left the iran nuclear deal, he blew up american credibility on diplomacy across the region, certainly with iran, and clearly cobbling that back together has been a very difficult path. >> courtney, we may not know this yet, any indication on whether we're going to hear any public condemnation from american officials on this? >> that's one of the questions we've been asking so far. we haven't aside from this statement we just got out of the u.s. navy base there in the region in bahrain called the u.s. navy's fifth fleet. we're asking that question hear too, lindsey. >> courtney kube, thank you.

joel, you're back with me later in the show. next, new implications of a federal judge's ruling adding restrictions on the biden administration's ability to talk with social media companies. we'll explain when we're back in 60 seconds. we'll explain when we're back in 60 seconds power e*trade's easy-to-use tools,

search, but approximately 65% of the paragraphs are redacted in part or in full. when you look at these documents, we didn't have a lot of the details that were contained in the indictment that was unsealed against the former president last month, so it is likely we'll get more details today. there are redactions that are going to be unredacted when we get this document, but how much new information we'll get is really unclear and probably not a lot because if it was information that -- that prosecutors wanted out there in the course of their ongoing investigation, it would be -- they couldn't do that because of the indictment. so effectively they can't just start spilling all sorts of other stuff out there, otherwise they should have included it in the indictment in the first place. i think in the eyes of the court that would be a problem. i think we might get a little bit more color and context. beyond that i don't expect any major revelations. >> media companies have been arguing for this to be unredacted, calling it in the

public interest. the justice department now has to go to the judge and say this is what we're comfortable being unredacted? >> that's what they it. they went to the judge and said look, we've gone back over the search warrant affidavit. we're okay with redacting certain parts of it. we've got other concerns about parts of this. of course they have an ongoing investigation, the judge agreed with that. they agreed with not only what would be unredacted but also what remains to be redacted. as you said this is at the behest of media companies. >> what's the time frame on when we might be able to see some of this? >> could be any moment. the judge has directed the justice department to file this, so really it's up to their attorneys to kind of upload the file and click the button. >> we know you'll be watching that and hitting refresh. tom winter, thank you. today the biden white house is considering how to respond to ha major ruling from a trump-appointed federal judge who blocked administration officials from meeting with and talking to social media companies.

in a 155-page ruling that's being called astonishing and extraordinary by an msnbc legal expert, judge terry doddy sided with a group of republican attorneys general who accuse the administration of a far reaching and widespread campaign of censorship during the covid pandemic. in blistering language, the judge says the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario, and compares the government's actions to an orwellian image of truth. >> let's bring in barbara mcquade and mike memoli. companies regularly communicate with government officials, particularly during periods of public health emergencies like the pandemic. what are you hearing from the white house? are they planning to appeal? >> reporter: we're waiting for that answer, and we may get one this afternoon when we have our first briefing from karine jean-pierre. it's interesting, this legal question raised by this case really speaks to the obligation, what obligation do social media

companies have to police the on tent on their platform. especially if users are posting things that might endanger health and public safety. if they are falling short of that obligation to do so, does government have a role to encourage that, to ask these firms to do more? that's really the question that's raised by this case. and what conservatives primarily acting on trove of information that was revealed beginning late last year known as the twitter files, which revealed internal communications between twitter executives and some government officials, especially as it relates to covid-19 and concern that there was a lot of disinformation spreading about vaccines is that kind of interaction to encourage them to maybe flag things as improper to remove them from the platform as this judge rules orwellian or a targeted effort to limit free speech. white house officials say they have taken proper steps to

encourage the proper flow of information, and they also emphasize that in all of these cases that there are independent decisions being made in the ultimate end of the day by the social media companies themselves. so this is very early in the legal process. there's a ladder it still would climb if the white house or justice department does decide to appeal here. a lot of questions about this case and the implications of what the judge is enjoining. >> let's put those to barbara. the judge hasn't made a final ruling in the case but writes that the republicans attorney general have presented substantial evidence in support of their claims that they were the victims of a far reaching and widespread censorship campaign. and says they're likely to succeed on the merits of their first amendment free speech claim. what do you make of the ruling? >> i think it's important to separate two things. one is the opinion itself where this judge writes 155 pages is clearly swinging from the fences, buys into this whole idea that this is some sort of vast censorship conspiracy against conservative voices, and

it's really quite distracting. if you look at the substance of the lawsuit, there's actually some merit there. we don't want government telling social media companies what they can and can't do. but it's tricky because as long as i've been in government, the government does work cooperatively with social media companies to remove things from isis and al qaeda, for example, to remove things put up by child pornographers, and one of the things that is alleged here is that the government was asking the social media companies to take down false hoods about covid and home remedies and things that could be dangerous. there is some room for the government to act in the best interest of the public in coordinating messaging with social media companies. but at the same time, there's some allegations of heavy handed tactics here where the government was pressuring social media companies to say what it wanted to say. i don't know that they go so far as to suggest that this administration was acting in bad faith, but you know, the point is when the government is telling social media companies what to do, there is a risk of

censorship there. so i think it will be important to see how this case shakes out as it proceeds. >> is there anything significant or consequential about -- actually, we are going to go to that press conference in philadelphia, the update on the mass shooting that took place over the july 4th weekend. >> i was in the back consulting with them. and it took a minute. so thank you for your patience. i really appreciate it. we are here today to discuss a collaborative community response to monday's mass shooting here in the community. this breaks down into several parts. but the essence of it is this, this is really not my time to talk and talk and talk. this is the time for a lot of other people who are affected by what occurred and who work to try to make it better now, as much as they can and to try to make it better in the future. this is their opportunity to talk.

and it's their opportunity for the public to understand that an entire community does come together despite the horrific trauma of this nightmarish mass shooting. someone back there twhiel we were getting ready p said the bullets don't care, but we do. i'd say that's about right. the bullets don't care. but we do. ( and i know the rest of this city knows, and i know the rest of this country does. i want to identify some of the good people who are here today, many of whom will be speaking. we have ada joann pescator, the chief of the homicide and nonfatal shooting unit. we have the prosecutor specifically assigned to this case and assigned to the case from the beginning, and that is ada bob wainwright of the dao's homicide nonfall ta shooting

unit. we have with us the reverend myron maxwell, director of the victims support division who has done incredible work with her team to try to reach out to so many different victims, survivors, co-survivors, and families affected by this tragedy. reverend maxwell is here with the administrative manager of the doa's cares unit. the cares unit is the sub part of the victim witness unit in the d.a.'s office that is specifically tasked with working intensively with the families of homicide victims in the first 45 days. just imagine for a second what it's like when you can't afford a funeral, what it's like when you feel that you're in danger. what it's like when all that grief is crushing you and causing health problems in your family. just imagine what it's like to try to deal with all the immediate logistics and simultaneously try to find a way in the future to address your own trauma. well, that's the kind of work that is done by reverend

maxwell, and we also have shalynn harris, who is a victim witness coordinator specifically working in our homicide nonfatal shooting unit, and specifically working on this particular case. anthony brown, ant brown is here for abro, that's a-b-r-o, which is an antigun violence organization that works in schools. as you may know, a lot of juveniles have been affected very directly and indirectly by this, and we appreciate his work, appreciate his being here. we have several members of the dao's lgbtq+ liaison group, some of whom are victim witness coordinators, they include kelly burkhardt, in addition to filling this role, we have asa khalif. i mean, frankly i shouldn't have to introduce him.

he should be so well-known to many of you for his remarkable work as an activist and in many other ways. we also have the wonderful is a foe fulton and mika thomas here. on behalf of that group, our sheriff rochelle balal is here. p.a. senate district 3 who has done so much with his colleagues in the senate to try to address issues of gun violence and issues of prevention around gun violence is here. we have dr. zaf, that's z-a-f, q-a-s-i-n, who is a medical doctor and emergency physician from penn presbyterian medical center. he is here with registered nurse stephanie horton, also works in emergency at penn presbyterian medical center, and both of these individuals have come here to tell you what it was like to treat many of the injured in the

emergency on the night that occurred and to speak more generally about the reality that will their everyday situation is gun violence victims coming in. for years dr. qasin has been doing this work at penn presbyterian for eight years, but he has been a doctor for 22 years. we have with us vofi jabatet, who is the director of acna, the africa cultural alliance of north america. the offices of acna are very close to where this incident occurred and vofi is very well-known. some call him the mayor up here, the mayor of that neighborhood anyway. vofi is very well-known and played an important role in assisting the d.a.'s office in reference to one of the homicide victims who is the son of an immigrant from africa.

he is present. we have reverend senior pastor of the church of christian compassion, who has collaborated with us many times and among other things is providing assistance to one of the families to deal with one of the most traumatic aspects of the aftermath of the shooting. we have emam kenneth nordeen of the philadelphia mosque whose antigun violence work is constant. we have the reverend dr. sean james, senior pastor here at the salt and light church, which is our host. in the back at this time we also have josephine wama and jasmine wama who are the two sisters of one of the homicide victims. if they are able, they will be speaking today, and if they are not able, you will understand the reality of what they're up against. let me just say a couple of words. it really only should be a couple of words before we hear

more from community. as many of you are aware, there were a lot of o'people who came to the scene of this crime yesterday within several hours of the shooting itself. my office at that time had fully deployed our cares team, our victim witnesses coordinator team who immediately got in contact with the families of all of the victims. like a shooting with the exception of one young man who had not been identified at that time. as soon as he was identified they kicked into gear to address that. while we were out at the scene yesterday we were accompanied by leader joanna mcclinton who is the speaker of the pennsylvania house, representative jordan harris, council member katherine gilmore richardson was

there. council member jamie gotye was there by phone. she was actually a couple thousand miles away but wanted to know everything that was going on. vofi was there as well. reverend g. lamar stewart was there as well, and we were all struck by many things. but just one of those things was the bicycle, which is still there. i don't know if you saw it. but right at the corner where this all went down yesterday, 24 hours ago, actually 8 hours ago there was a small bicycle, it looked like a child's bicycle which was sitting on that corner, and we were informed by some people who were there that that bicycle was dropped by someone, i presume a child, during the shooting. hours later, nobody had touched it. nice little bike, hours later nobody had touched it as if they all felt they couldn't, that it was a memorial, it was some kind of a silent memorial.

well, it's there now. it's been moved a few feet, maybe somebody came along, some child came along and moved it, and somebody else told him put it back. but it's there now, and i think that that fact, the desolation on those streets, the absence of cars, the absence of people, the curtain's closed, the door's locked in that neighborhood and also the comments from neighbors, the ones who did come out, about how close they themselves came to being shot and killed. thank goodness i didn't go get that bag out of my trunk right there because. those are the kinds of things we heard. obviously this office is 100% committed to the vigorous prosecution of this mass killer, and we will do justice in court with this case, but it's not my time to keep talking. it's my time to call forward some people who have, in my opinion, very important things to say. it is my pleasure, my honor first to call forward zaf an

emergency physician from penn presbyterian, as well as registered nurse stephanie horton to speak as much as they wish and as little as they wish about their experience is and their thoughts about this incident. >> thank you, d.a. i am an emergency room physician at penn presbyterian, and i'm here with my colleague, stephanie horton who's a registered nurse also in the emergency room at presbyterian. certainly would like to start, thank the d.a. for the invitation to speak today. also our deepest condolences to everybody who was affected by the tragedy that happened on monday night. the families in particular wanted to also think the

philadelphia police officers who while taking fire were rapidly able to get the victims of this insanity that happened on monday in a very timely fashion and were also able to limit the additional loss of life on the scene by apprehending the suspect very quickly. and most importantly, i think, i'd like to thank my colleagues who i'm representing here today and stephanie as well who came together on that night with very little notice and were able to effectively and rapidly provide life saving care to the victims who arrived and some of the details are already made public to the press. i won't go into any further details on any specific patient. you know, this is really kind of tragedy that we're here.

we as a team at penn presby deal with gun violence not just on monday night but on an everyday basis. especially over the last few years we've seen huge escalation in the amount of gun violence we're seeing. it's not uncommon to see multiple victims come in. despite that what happened on monday was perhaps on a scale far above what we've seen before from the degree of injury that we saw, from the style of weapon that was used, and the amount of damage and remember, this isn't something that just affects the victims. as i said to the d.a., the bullets really don't care. they don't care what faith you are, what party you belong to. they cause damage not only to the victims but to the families who we then have to go talk to in the family rooms and the

wider community as you saw where the streets are now empty because people are scared to go out in the street. let me hand it over to nurse horton. >> i just would like to echo what dr. qasim said about the families. it's just really hard to comfort them, and it really takes a toll on our -- my colleagues and to go through this like dr. qasim said very frequently, it just doesn't get any -- it doesn't get any easier. >> thank you for that. >> all right, everybody, we have been listening to this live update from philadelphia after a mass shooting on july 3rd, left five dead and two injure. i want to rehash a little bit of what they talked about, bring in rehema ellis. we have words like insanity, nightmarish, horrific, the d.a.

bringing up that child's mint green bicycle again that was left at the scene, and we just heard from the er doctor and the nurse there as well talking about the toll that this takes not only on the victims, not only on their families but on them and their colleagues in the medical field. >> one of the things that they talked about is that this tragedy that they experienced over the weekend that it was different. he pointed out that tragedy is not just a weekend kind of thing for people in that community. he says we've seen an escalation of violence. there have been reports out that the city of philadelphia has seen something like 212 homicides so far this year, not including what happened over the holiday weekend. the reports indicate that the violence is down by 19% from this time last year. but that is little comfort to people in this community who are suffering. as was mentioned by the doctor,

he said that it was very unusual, this type of violence, he said, from the number of victims that came in, the type of injuries, and the type of weapon that was used. we know that it was an ar-15 style weapon. we know that that person had a handgun as well as another gun that he was heavily armed with munitions, and we also know that the kind of wounds that can be inflicted upon someone with an ar-15 style rifle, long begun are horrific. and you could hear in the voice of the doctor as well as the voice of the nurse that they are impacted by this. they are professionals, health care is something that they do every day. imagine they were suggesting to us what it's like for the families to have to live with this reality of what happened over the weekend. so it was a heartfelt and emotional testimony, if you will from the doctor and the nurse about how this community has been impacted by not just this

tragedy but ongoing tragedies that occur in that community that has brought a kind of silence. the streets went quiet, the bicycle as you talked about, it was left untouched there, a bicycle of a child indicating as a young person that ran literally ran for their lives. and people in that community feeling that their lives are in danger regularly. we know there's a report from one woman who said that the danger is escalating, and she feels the need to get out. this was an opportunity for the community to come together as it was said in a collaborative way to talk about how do they respond to this because it's not just the people who were killed and the families, the relatives left behind but it's a whole community impacted by this tragedy. lindsey. >> nbc news is reporting that one of the victims, a 22-year-old was gunned town steps from his door as he went to get food. another victim was shot trying to help a friend who had been shot twice in the leg.

we have a car with twin 2-year-olds with their mother. the 2-year-old suffering gunshot wounds, the second 2-year-old suffering injuries to the eye from the glass that was shattering. barbara, in addition to what rehema was talking about, the suspect had the ar style weapon, the handgun, also had a ballistic vest, a police scanner, and the suspect now it looks like is facing weapons charges. also facing attempted murder, first degree murder, aggravated assault, illegal gun possession. barbara, what happens next in this case? >> well, there will be an arraignment. there will be discovery. there will be exploration of guilty pleas. i also imagine that investigators will want to look a little bit into this person's background, what perhaps motivated the shooting and how he was able to access these weapons. it may be that these weapons were perfectly legal. one thing that makes me ang e ri whenever i hear about these mass

shootings involving assault weapons, ar-15 style weapons, we absolutely have the legal ability to ban these weapons. we did in the 1990s for ten years. the constitution permits it, the law permits it. the only thing that stands in our way is lobby efforts and a lack of political will. >> another community torn apart by gun violence. thank you. when we come back, israel announcing the end to a major military operation in the west bank, but with tensions still high, what's next in the conflict? high, what's next in the conflict

thousands of palestinians flood the streets of a west bank city today to bury those killed during a massive israeli operation. at least 12 palestinians were killed over tw days of intense fighting between militants and the israeli military in the city of jenin. one israeli soldier died in the raid which forced thousands of soldiers to flee. the fighting continues with israel launching air strikes on what it says was a hamas weapons facility in gaza city, retaliation for an overnight rocket attack from the gaza strip. matt, i know you're just left jenin. you and your crew have been doing incredible work.

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the raid was not a one-off, his words. what's the situation now? >> reporter: we were just in that refugee camp actually where the focus of the fighting was, the focus of that really violent and enormous israeli raid. we were walking around, it really just looks like the palestinians are picking up the pieces from that raid literally and figurativety. you know, there were buildings that were destroyed by missile attacks. that was one of the standout features of this. that's a style of fighting we've seen the israelis conduct in the gaza strip but not in the west bank. so that was relatively new. this whole area was shrouded in smoke and filled with the sounds of bullets ricochetting. this morning it was filled with people walking around, a lot of them carrying weapons. quite a few of them were celebrating the fact that the israels have been kind of kicked out after only two days of

thoerpgs. you mentioned those soldiers funerals, five of those soldiers are thought to be militants. those funerals featured a lot of other militants that were showing up, walking around the streets, guns out, masks on to hide their identities. the anger is still there in those palestinian communities. we were there last night and witness add blistering firefight firsthand, and it was a very dangerous situation. let me just show you a little bit from our report last night on nbc "nightly news." >> reporter: he says the israelis are firing missiles using armored cars and live ammunition, throwing everything we have. during our interview, israeli forces pushed towards our position to clear the area. in front of them an armored bulldozer. and they're exchange fire with palestinian youth.

now the real worry here, lindsey, was always that the gazans, principally hamas who had celebrated that attack on israeli civilians in tel aviv, that they would launch missail attacks into israel proper and israel would then retaliate. that happened but it was only a couple of back and forths. there wasn't really a blossoming of an enormous war. the most ominous comment came from benjamin netanyahu himself, who now is back in power and backed by a right wing government who has been championing his efforts in the west bank. there is that real concern if benjamin netanyahu decides to push into jenin, which he has threatened he could do, this whole thing would erupt once again and this time it might not die down in just two days. lindsey. >> matt bradley, thank you so much. and as we say our thanks to matt bradley, i want to put up some live pictures here of antigovernment protests that are happening about 50 miles away from where matt is.

planet earth has just

experienced the hottest day ever recorded the earth broke the record for the average global temperature on monday, then broke it again tuesday registering at 62.9 degrees fahrenheit. records were shattered across the globe in japan, india and china, and right here in the u.s. where the deadly heat left more people hospitalized over the holiday weekend. nbc meteorologist bill karins is here. bill, people might think 62.9, that doesn't sound that hat, this is the average, including antarctica. >> i'm surprised we haven't broken it sooner. the old record went back to august 2016, so let me try to explain kind of what this means, and you know, wow, we broke the record two days in a row. the biggest thing you need to know we're now in an el nino. meaning warmer water in the pacific. the pacific ocean is huge, and if it's warmer than normal,

that's going to increase our temperature, add on top what us humans doing to the planet and warming it up, that combination is going to give us a lot of days in the next two months that will be the warmest ever recorded. this goes back, remember, 83 years of data. that's when we have reliable records. 83 years of data. monday was 62.38. we got the preliminary info in that yesterday was warmer than monday also, and the previous record of august of 2016, which happened to be a pretty strong el nino. that's what's going to happen to our planet. we have kind of been fooled lately. we have had three years in a row of la nina. we haven't had a lot of headlines like this. everyone has been saying if we have the next strong el nino, we're going to break a lot of records, and it's going to be very toasty, a lot of places on the planet. by the way, june, we just got that in, it was the warmest june ever recorded on the planet too. it's going to be headline after

headline coming up. that's the climate part. now let's go to weather, what you feel today in this week. it's still hot in many areas, the dangerous heat is mostly in the desert southwest. doesn't feel great, though, in florida. 105 in new orleans, jacksonville, this is the heat index, this is in the shade when you factor in the temperature and humidity. it's been very humid up the east coast this holiday weekend, right into today. d.c. almost feels like 100 now too, and the areas that will get the storms that will cool you off will be in the middle of the country. as far as records go, we're not shattering records. this isn't the heat wave that led to the holiday weekend. we have a chance in el paso, tucson, oregon is very warm, possible record heat and a few records possible in areas of florida today. we have been tracking a few thunderstorms. later today, we'll be watching areas in north texas and also near chicago. so, you know, it's going to be one of those summers when, you know, especially the upcoming winter, too, el nino is something we haven't dealt with in a couple of years. a lot of people are going to be seeing headlines they're not used to. >> bill karins, thanks for the

warning. the gunman behind the deadliest attack on latinos in american history is in federal court today, directly facing the families of those he killed inside a walmart in el paso, texas. the 2019 attack left 23 people dead. he's set to receive multiple life sentences after pleading guilty to federal hate crimes and weapons charges in february. i want to bring in nbc's guad venegas who's following this for us. guad, the sentencing is expected to last multiple days. what can you tell us about what's happened in court so far? multiple days especially because we will be hearing from some of the victims. these are going to be impact victims' statements that we'll be hearing. it began this morning, very emotional outside the courtroom with surviving victims and family members of the victims that died attending that courtroom. inside the courtroom, many of them present when the shooter entered that courtroom. sniffling and crying could be heard as some of them stared him

down. the hearing began this morning with a judge reading the names of all the victims that died in that shooting as well as those 90 counts that the shooter has pled guilty to. now, they did go on a break, and later today, the statements will begin. those are expected to go through the end of the day today as well as tomorrow, and later in the week we would be having this sentencing and the hearing that, again, will last through the end of the week. >> guad venegas, thank you for that reporting. much more coming up on the second hour of "chris jansing reports" including treasury secretary janet yellen heading to china. the goal of the trip and what it means for u.s./chinese tensions. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc.
