okay. brittani, susan, david, it's good to see you all, thank you so much for weighing in on all of it. that's commuted for me, everyone, on this edition of alex witt reports. also again next saturday at noon eastern, my friend yasmin vossoughian continues our coverage. >> hey, everybody. good afternoon to you. i'm awesome vossoughian. great to see you. we're covering some breaking news on several friends here. at least four people are dead, two children, an infant, and a toddler, still missing from flooding in pennsylvania. live report on that coming up. it is coming, as millions are suffering from dangerously high heat, some of the highest that we have seen. we are following the manhunt as well for a suspect in a mass shooting in the state of georgia. as well as new information and the capture of a dangerous escaped and may we are on the scene with that as well. plus big political news today as well. new reporting from nbc news

signs that the rhonda sanchez cam could be in trouble, including a staff shakeup. donald trump sending a clear signal today to the judge and a criminal classified documents case every wing wink and nod as to what should be an impartial party in the case. >> any indication the judge will grant this motion? >> i don't know i know it's a very highly respected judge a very smart judge, a very strong judge. >> you appointed her? >> i did. i'm very proud to have appointed her. very smart, very strong, and loves our country. i mean, loves our country. we need judges that love our country, so, they do the right thing. >> we'll get into that, all of that plus everything you need to know about the first nonprescription over the counter contraceptive pill to be approved by the fda, that's coming up later on this hour as well. we want to begin in bucks county, epa. just north of the philadelphia area, where at least four

people are dead, three others are missing, including two young children, a toddler and an infant. after heavy flash flooding swept cars off the road late saturday afternoon. right now, dozens of first responders are working to locate any other survivors at the scene. crews have eschewed eight people so far from their vehicles, another two from a creek. want to get to nbc's kathy park, for us there in fox county, pierre. incredibly tragic situation there, kathy. what more are we learning? >> so, yasmin, one official says that he has not seen anything like this and 44 years. he said around 5:30 yesterday, that's when the rain really started coming down. he thinks close to 6 to 7 inches all under one hour and that's why there was this flash flooding event that really took a lot of people off-guard. apparently there is 11 cars on the roadway and the rossington crossing area.

three cars were swept away in the floodwaters. the water rose so high, he a, and in some spots, actually got over five feet. so, swallowed vehicles in some cases. here is a little bit more from tim giroir earlier this afternoon, giving us an update, take a listen. >> we can tell you tragically we are looking for two children from the same family. one boy who is nine months, one female, his older sister, who is to. we are attempting to locate one more female adult at this time. >> yasmin, right now, officials are confirming for fatalities at this point. obviously they're still on the ground right now trying to find the missing, we're told they're walking along the creek beds right now. they have dozens of folks looking for those individuals. they're up against a lot of challenges, not only is that

area, remain, there's a lot of steep terrain. we are told there's cliffs along these creek beds. but they're also dealing with weather as well. we've seen some downpours coming into this area. we are certainly not out of the woods just yet. supposed to get another update on the situation of the 4:00 hour yasmin. >> how incredibly awful for those families. my heart is breaking for all of them. kathy park, thank you so much. appreciate it. i want to turn now to some new reporting we have from nbc news on the 2024 presidential cycle. it's warning of serious trouble for the florida governor, ron desantis and his campaign. first, we're reporting the campaign has fired roughly a dozen staffers. and more are expected in the coming weeks as the florida governor shakes up his big money political operations after less than two months on the campaign trail. and this is coming as we learn that desantis is tapped out top donors seven point $9 million in his for six weeks as a presidential candidate. that's according to nbc news

analysis of his new campaign finance disclosure. on top of all of this, the former president's continued to take an opportunity to go after the florida governor, including last night, in his home state, before the crowds, at turning point actions conference in west palm beach. this is where we find nbc's garrett who covers the trump campaign for us. great to talk she'll. pick up for us there, if you well, we have those reports coming out about the state of desantis's campaign as the former president continues to take shots at him what can you tell us? >> that's right yasmin, spoke for an hour and 40 minutes last, night a good chunk of it taking the -- i think it's very clear that donald trump and his team couldn't sense blood in the water around their chief rival. there is more of it coming out as we're having a chance to look through the first round of finance reports that have come out since desantis has got into the race. you hit some of the headlines. the amount of money he's raised has been very impressive since he got into the race.

also spending a very high rate. when you get past that first level of how much money has been raised, you see most of the money coming in big chunks of money that's coming, and it's money that has to be set aside for the general election. money from mexico donors who cannot give again. you see there is a problem here, is possible the money could run out and that the spender it has to come down. apparently one of the main reasons we're seeing the staff reduction's from the campaign, you know, had a much bigger footprint than any other campaign for the republican nomination so far. desantis has been out talking about this event. he was asked on fox this morning whether he was concerned about you know, the narrative that seems to be going around in his campaign might be in trouble. here's how he pushed back. >> i think clearly, you see an effort to create these narratives the good thing about it is the republican primary voters are very smart. they know where these corporate outlets down on the political spectrum. the extent that they become

convinced that the media does not want me to be the nominee above all else, that will, in the long run, absolutely help me. >> yes ma'am, running against the media is the time warned tactic in republican primaries. the problem for desantis, donald trump does the same thing and bates and solve some of the target of the media he seizes out to get. i'm gonna be very difficult for desantis to change the narrative that he acknowledges is building there. he is trying. we learned today that he's expected to do an interview with cnn on tuesday. >> hey, as we're talking about other candidates in general, i know a lot of other candidates spoke yesterday evening along with today as well. isa hutchinson, did not necessarily get a good reception, are being told he was booed when he was on that stage. it is anybody at all breaking through? >> look. this is a home crowd for donald trump, it was his crowd last, night it's his crowd today.

his son, donald trump jr., speaking right now behind me. he's probably gotten the second warmest response after donald trump himself. of the other candidates, you mentioned isa hutchinson, who is booed lustily by the crowd here, pretty aggressively. francis the mayor of miami, also booed this morning although not as rough as a receptionist hutchinson guy. the candidate who did get something of a favorable response was vivek ramaswamy, kind of emerging as a lot of republican voters who i talked to, second favorite candidate, whether you're a trump person, desantis person, a lot of people like vivek and see him as potentially vice presidential candidate. he is running and has been very judicious and not going after donald trump or any other candidates, not a negative word out of his mouth. it can make you popular, it's hard to take you from third or fourth to first if that's your strategy. we'll continue to keep an eye on, it's someone who got a friendlier reception here than these other candidates trying to go through donald trump. >> that's interesting.

details at this point. we do knew that before 11:00 yesterday morning three men and one woman were shot to death in the city of hampton. we believe that he lived in the community where the shootings happened. police said they were working for a crime scenes, all close together. at this point we don't know what connection long war might have had to any of the victims here. we know he could be anywhere within more than 24 hours since the shooting happened. they're police saying they're actively receiving leads and they're following up on each tip. there are several agencies that are working to get longmore in handcuffs. >> i want to say this directly to you mr. longmore wherever you are, we will hunt you down in any hole you maybe residing in and bring you to custody. >> the sheriff from henry county there in georgia, police say that he took off in a gmc acadia. an suv. they put an image of the suv and license plate out for

straight month at 3%, just one point above the feds target rate. as far as the politics here, around hays brown argues that while this is good news for americans, it is not for republican politicians. joins us now to talk more about this. he's, brandeis nbc opinion writer and editor. hayes, thanks for joining us on this. appreciate it. republicans are planning on stumping on a failing economy with the biden administration, right? they tried to do with the midterms, did not necessarily fare that well when it came to exit polling, what people were concerned about. all that being said, now it seems as if we may have escaped worst-case scenario here with this economy. how is that going to affect republican politicians looking for it especially 24? >> sorry, i had you on me, that's my bad, we're good. >> there you go. >> looking forward. sorry about that. it's interesting because one of the things that's interesting is that republicans, despite

these numbers, despite the fact that we're seeing, like you said, 12 straight months of falling inflation, it's something they're gonna continue to push on their voters, going to continue to talk about the biden economy as a -- target not continue to talk about inflation being much higher than it was under trump, when many of the factors that cause that inflation are starting to dissipate, when we're starting to see prices on the things that people spend the most, on energy, and food, prices are leveling off. at the very least, if not coming down, like we saw a record gas prices last year. right now, gas prices are down to national average around four-ish dollars. that is 3:40, three or $4, somewhere in there. so much better than it was last year. so, as we're seeing the economy get better, what we're not gonna see is republicans give any credit to the biden administration for their policies breaking things down. >> so, i want to read more from your case here.

republicans who are ones morbidly gleeful at the idea that the economy might take a nosedive are now silent, at least when they are busy taking credit for investments that democrats passed over their objections. republican policies, at the state level, have not exactly been outperforming the national average. in fact, this is really interesting, hayes, by the way, the highest inflation in the country is in florida, home to governor ron desantis. so, two things here, what are republicans doing that this narrative? a, right? and be, right, we've seen the president out on the campaign trail, out as president of the united states, toting bidenomics, right? how likely is it that he can continue on this path and also, the key point here, be heard, have it resonate with the american people? >> yeah, cutting through and actually having this good news comes through, it is going to be difficult. it's like inflation is down to the 2% target rates that the fed wants, people are still paid more for things than they were two years ago. so, trying to make the case

that, yes, you are absolutely better off and now under biden economics, bidenomics, than you were during the height of the pandemic, anywhere when inflation was supercharged as an effect of the pandemic. that is gonna be difficult. but republicans, i feel, they are going to continue to try to hammer bidenomics, knit doesn't affect reality. what's interesting to, i saw, i put this in the piece, the pew research center, recently pulled americans on how big a deal they thought inflation was. as there is a pretty wide gap at this point between democrats and republicans. republicans seeing inflation as a much bigger problem than democrats who were polled. so, i think that this goes to the fact that when it comes to inflation, when it comes to the economy, a lot of times it really is more about -- than the actual data that we have about prices. jumping quickly to that point about florida having some of the highest inflation rates, that is because a lot of that is because of housing, a lot of

it is because, you know, a lot of people are moving to florida, that's good news for desantis, but there's not enough housing stock, having trouble getting proper insurance for houses. those prices are going up in florida. so, that is a drag on the florida cornmeal role as people have less money to spend on other things aside from shelter. >> hey, hayes, quickly, i want you to weigh in on another piece you wrote about the strike. essentially saying we should all be watching the saying, right? the results of what they're able to achieve when they go up against big corporations is going to have a domino effect with what others can achieve, they're not as wealthy and or not having is because of voices members of sag after. talk about that. >> we saw the writers guild, they went on strike a few months ago, the rioters killed, bears been a lot of attention paid to that. this is huge, some of the most famous, will recognize people in the country, if not the

world, saying that we want to be paid fairly for our labor. we want to make sure that you're not gonna be able to pay us for a day of work, scan our digital license, and then use that moving forward forever. and this is not just about the biggest celebrities out there, this is also about people who sag-aftra, if i remember correctly, the average number makes about $26,000 a year, not a lot. so, these are people who are trying to get gigs, they're trying to make enough to get sag after a health insurance every year, who are out there on the picket line, saying look, we're not gonna show up to perform for not just a new scanner license and news that imagery moving, forward without compensation. the fact that the studios came into this thinking that it's gonna be a cakewalk basically after, it's one of the many of the same issues -- wga. it's really amazing to me that they did not recognize how big a deal this is going to be.

>> hayes brown, thank you so, much appreciated. on the sega after strike, i do want to note -- owns nbc universal, as one of the companies represented by the association of motion picture and television producers. coming up, new information on the capture of a dangerous escaped inmate and the barking dogs that led to the end of the manhunt, a live report on that. also, new today, donald trump, sunday show interview to use -- judging as classified documents case. we'll play that for you. and, we'll take you to phoenix that he refuses to relent, just how hard the record-breaking heat there is expected to get. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. i'm a retired school librarian. i'm also a library board trustee, a mother of two, and a grandmother of two. basically, i thought that my memory wasn't as good as it had been. i needed all the help i could get. i saw the commercials for prevagen. i started taking it. and it helped!

breaking news of a murder suspect in pennsylvania back in custody after escaping from a jail and triggering a ten-day manhunt. michael charles burnham was caught and warren county. police say a barking dog led to the crucial tip in the case. the arrest of the 34-year-old. nbc's jordan solace is in the northwest part of pennsylvania where this happened on youngsville. george good to talk to. you talk to the couple at the center of this capture. tell us about. that will happen? >> yeah yasmin, think about this, you had nine days officers from all over searching for this escaped inmate. you had drones forces on the ground, other dog searching, it turns out he is caught by a lab

retriever yam's couples backyard. yes, i spoke with cindy and ron, they say they were home, they notice their dog was acting unusual. the dog stop sparking. they go to investigate, and who they say but this escaped inmate, michael burham. right then and there, they knew he was, didn't engage. one question was asked, what are you doing here? he says, i was camping. they don't buy it, they immediately take off. they call 9-1-1, a two-hour pursuit goes on. they eventually take him back into custody. now, they knew this guy was potentially dangerous. at the moment, they went after their dog, this all unfolds. it's really a remarkable tale when you listen to it. take a listen to part of my conversation with them a little earlier today. >> we get in the golf cart series barking. we get down to the creek, he still barking. the gentleman stands up. i asked him, i said, what are you doing? he says, i'm camping. i said, all right, have a nice day. i got 70, cindy wasn't a golf

cart, i said, get back on the golf cart, we get back here, we were halfway up the, ardently, thyle 9-1-1, i know exactly where that is, i've seen his picture enough, you know? he's been all over the news. i'm thinking, the skies long, he's not even around here anymore. he stood up, didn't have a shirt, i saw the tattoo we had, his face, no, get in the gulf, where let's go. >> that's the definition of a good -- the couple is looking at reward money for helping find this in may, as you know, led this crazy man hunt here in pennsylvania. right now, still in custody is still in the state as far as we know. one place we know he's not gonna be transferred to, the warren county jail where he escape from. likely charges that escape as well, yasmin. >> wow. a real guard dog there to say the least. doing more than they required me just require them to give us hug some concerns. george soliz, thanks so much. appreciate it.

when i get to the latest legal troubles for the former president, we learned several new developments, multiple in simultaneous investigations and guest him this past. week here's what trump said on fox just a short time ago when asked about his attempt to -- until after the 2024 election. >> an indication the judge will grant this motion? >> i don't know. i know it's a very highly respected judge, a very smart judge, and a very strong judge. >> you appointed her. >> i did, i'm very proud to have appointed her. very smart, very strong. loves our country. i, mean loves our country. we need judges that love our country. so, they do the right thing. >> want to bring in msnbc legal analyst and former u.s. attorney, barbara. barbara, as always, it's great to talk to you. so, tuesday, i believe, the next pre-trial hearing for this case, of course, the judge, aileen cannon, we're gonna be awaiting that ruling on trump's request to relive the classified documents case until after the election. could he be seen here as trying

to influence the judge in that case in the statement he made with maria? >> you know, i think so, that's what i'm hearing when he's saying somebody who loves country, issues gray, all these things. i don't think to the level of any sort of criminal tampering. you know, he's certainly buttering her up, perhaps in the hopes of being a favorable ruling. >> i also want to note, on twitter, trump deleted and then re-posted a reference to the insurrection act. in a truth social post, let me say, truth social, not what, or he's not on twitter anymore. changing it to read the espionage act, that was raising some speculation he may in fact have gotten word of potential charges related to the insurrection act. can you briefly take differences here between the espionage act and the insurrection act? >> sure, the espionage act is what is routinely used in cases where someone willfully retain's national defense

information. so, if you accidentally find someone your papers and you voluntarily return it, that would not be a violation of the espionage act. when you are aware that you have them and you still refuse to return them, that can be a violation of the espionage act. that's what donald trump has been charged with. based on the fact of the public record, there's no reason to believe that joe biden will fully retained records he wasn't supposed to have upon discovering, he returned. the insurrection act, it's a different statute. that's inciting people to engage in rebellion against the u.s. government. so, part of jack smith's investigation out imagine, considering whether he can bring charges against donald trump friend citing that -- either through his speech or through his 2:24 pm tweet about mike pence. >> so, with the conversation we're having with regards to all of the investigations that are simultaneously happening surrounding the former

president, i want to talk the georgia probe as well the efforts by the former president's attorneys there along with former president himself to kind of make this argument that in fact fulton county d.a. fani willis, should in fact be disqualified from this case or leveling in a charging decisions. is there any argument to this at all? >> no, i don't think so. this is sort of a last desperation to get the case dismissed before she files an indictment. i would imagine that indictment is coming based on things she said, based on things the jury heads that the grandeur, and her request to the court to clear their dockets for the first week in august. i think it's an effort to throw a bit of a hail mary. but it seems that they follow these things by the book. there is no reason to recuse fani willis from this case. i suppose, you know, donald trump also wins by losing, even if he loses this motion, you will then talk about how the court is against him, as evidenced by this denial of his

emotions. i don't expect that will go anywhere. i think we'll see an indictment by fani willis sometime in august. >> let's also conclude, barr, by talking about on the special counsel investigation into election interference. new york times reporting, this commissioner jared kushner, the former president's son-in-law testified before a grand jury, the federal courthouse in washington last month, where he is said to have maintained that it was his impression that he believed the election was stolen, according to a person briefed on the matter, trying to drill down, it seems's investigators on whether or not the former president knew, in fact, the election was stolen when he told everybody the election was stolen and had that obviously not inform his conversation with the georgia secretary of state and so on and so forth. all of that being said, we also know, and we're learning but also testified before the grand jury. what are your expectations that may have come out of her testimony? >> well, she was there, reporting that says she was encouraging donald trump to ask people to go home on january

six when they were at the capitol, refrain from doing so 487 minutes. that can go to listen tens as. well one thing that's important for a prosecutor's perspective, good, bad, indifferent, you need to know where all of these witnesses are going to say a trial so that you could make a decision as to whether you believe you can prove the criminal intent necessary. here i think it's important to be able to prove that donald trump had an intent to defraud or corrupt intent to be able to bring these charges. >> -- as always, thank you. all right right now, nearly 100 million americans, just under third of the country feeling the effects of a relentless heat wave. that's expected to reach its peak today. temperatures in the southwest could approach all-time record, showing the -- california region unprecedented. 130 degrees this afternoon. also keeping an eye at phoenix, nearly 5 million people, already set a record high, 118 degrees this weekend.

we could break that mark today. nbc's marissa partisan phoenix for us with more on this. >> yeah, it is sweltering here in phoenix. we're seeing 17 days now consecutively of temperatures over 110 degrees. you can tell the phoenix fire department, the reason we're here is we've gotten a sense of how busy they are, especially the fact they've been going nonstop for the last 17 days. with he calls, all kinds of calls, ranging from people who need to be cool down, people who are dehydrated. what i found really interesting, first of all, it's not just here in phoenix, coast to coast. we are seeing these temperatures in miami, of course, a little lower, but they have the humidity to deal with over there, seeing temperatures in las vegas, and then over in death valley, but looking at potential 128 to 130-degree temperatures today. 130 would break world record. what's interesting is there's people, tourists who are flocking over there to get a sense of what that would feel like. the difference is there an air conditioned cars. they have a safe place to go

back to. they don't have to be in the heat that long. these temperatures if you're outside for too long, especially given access to water, that's where it crosses the line between uncomfortable and into territory that can get very very dangerous very fast. wait a chance to go inside a health hospital yesterday, and when we saw the e.r., we saw stretchers, they were lined up with people who were hooked up to ivs, days from heat exhaustion. we learned from physicians, there this is one of their busiest summers yet because of all the calls they're getting. honestly, the number two is not a lot of the people most impacted by this are the people that work outside, whether it's migrant workers, people who do outdoor work, but then also the population of people who do not have. holmes that's been keeping,, in oh,, rescue crews, people in hospitals very busy, trying to tend to them making sure they're safe, as well as cooling shelters for extending their hours i'm trying to make sure that people have a safe air conditioned place to get to. make no mistake, we've only been outside for a few hours, it feels like we are in an oven,

to make sure, like with all over the counter medications, yasmin, you can get certain medications that discounts through some of the pharmacy relationships. i'm hoping this opens up a huge amount of competition. remember, the first manufacturer. hopefully there will be others to follow. the more products we have available over the counter, we will see price competition. i'm very hopeful we can get this price competitively so it's available to anybody, insurance can pay, for a little trick and for any medication, even over the counter, ibuprofen, if i had the doctor right the prescription, many times are getting credible discounts are get that cover. it is so, that's just a little bit of a tip for people that have insurance and want this particular pell, come in with a prescription, it could be even cheaper than the over the counter price. >> right, you and i both know that just the added step could be enough to keep summer problem staining this type of pill, even though they may

desperately need it right? >> i agree, i agree. >> low income areas, right, people that are, you know, black and brown, like, communities that don't necessarily have the resources and other communities have, those are the communities that needed the most and may feel the expense of this the most as well. >> which is why the over the counter status is important. that can allow for every sort of organization whether it's nonprofit or an employer, that can allow for people to purchase this in bulk and be able to safely distribute this. when you have an over the counter education, you have the freedom to do that type of dispensing and distribution. i'm hoping we can become -- whether it's the clinics that can offer these things for free at the front of office or in places where we can get over the counter medications safely and cheaply, i am, again, might not happen january 2024, but i'm hoping for a very near term future access for over the counter options for women that
