the grand jury investigating former president is meeting again as a possible indictment against him looms. meanwhile, house speaker kevin mccarthy now says the gop probes into biden's family are rising to the level of an impeachment require re. in texas,the response to the doj's lawsuit against the state. next hour president biden will establish a national monument honoring emmett till and his mother. we begin this hour with the latest on the investigations surrounding former president trump. today a grand jury in washington, d.c. that is probing interference in the 2020 election is set to meet again, as the former president is scheduled to head to louisiana for a fundraiser.

the trip comes as he's trying to raise money off of possible third indictment. and the police commissioner turned over thousands of documents over to smith's office. carrick worked with rudy giuliani in an effort to uncover voter fraud after the 2020 election. former senior justice department official, richard donahue, tells nbc news he has been interviewed by the special counsel's office. he says he has not been called to testify before the grand jury. with us to talk about it more, glenn -- garrett haake. how has the trump campaign benefited from his legal woes? >> josé, they used his

indictments and pending indictment in two ways, basically to force voters to choose sides, and they cast a situation where you are either with donald trump or with the prosecutors out to get him because he's the top polling republican candidate. donald trump pulled away from the rest of the field and really has never looked back, and the second element is in fundraising, where trump raised more money than any of the other republican candidates thus far, so far $35 million pulled in in the last quarter. they fundraised around two of the indictments, hitting up people on text and email and conflating donald trump's legal fight with his political fights to come. it's worth pointing out that they have less of a return out of that effort on the second indictment than they did on the first. we will see how it goes if and

when there's a third indictment, but so far it has been a very lucrative strategy for the trump campaign to use these indictments to appeal to the base that they give to defend him and give to the campaign. >> donald trump revealed last week he received a target letter. is there a timeframe from the time they receive a target letter to the time the indictment is headed up, should that happen? >> i wouldn't say a general timeframe, but i will say when we deliver target letters to somebody that has been investigated in the grand jury for a long time, that signals the prosecution team is pretty much at the investigative end game and are ready to move on to the next and what is often the final step, which is going back into the grand jury and asking them to consider and vote on those charges and if the grand jury believes there's probable cause supporting the charges

they would vote out an indictment. usually that happens pretty quickly after the target letter, because that target letter is a signal the prosecutors have done everything they felt like they needed to do investigatively. >> we are waiting. the grand jury is meeting today in washington. just wondering what that process is. the letter, the former president talked about it last sunday and then the meeting goes on today. what is normally discusseded in a meeting like today? >> the meeting involves the defense team with the prosecutors, and it's the defense team's chance to make one final pitch to convince them that there's not enough evidence to support criminal charges, or

if there is enough evidence perhaps the nation would be better served by not indicting a criminal former president of the united states. i suspect that would be part of the pitch donald trump's defense team would make. we have gone down that path once before by declining the whole richard nixon accountable for his crimes and that did not turn out great for the nation. and the prosecutors will walk into the grand jury and make an argument and then draft an indictment and then we will leave and often stand outside the grand jury door while they deliberate waiting for them to hand out the vote sheet. no matter how confident the prosecutors feel in the evidence they hand to the grand jury, it's always a nail-biter when you are waiting for the grand jury to hand out that vote sheet

to see if there will be an indictment or no indictment. >> what does the office hope to learn from the documents bernard carrick handed over? >> well, this is interesting. they just got them late sunday night, early monday, roughly a couple thousand pages and this is work product that he and rudy giuliani put together as they were investigating claims of voter fraud after the 2020 election. obviously they found nothing conclusive, but the documents may show this will serve more information that donald trump had at his disposal even as he was going out and claiming all the voter fraud, and even his allies that went out looking for it came up empty-handed. carrick -- kerik himself is

supposed to testify, and the investigation will continue into the future. >> so do you think the fact that these documents are headed over to the serial counsel's office on sunday mean maybe prosecutors would need more time to review that amount of information? >> not necessarily. i suspect, just as we saw down in florida in the federal prosecution for the documents obstruction of justice and espionage charges that have been indicted against donald trump, that indictment was handed down and then the special counsel continued to investigate what was going on at mar-a-lago and investigating more about possible documents crimes. this does not signal that jack smith is not prepared to indict donald trump. it does signal if he indicts donald trump now, the investigation will undoubtedly continue and it may result in subsequent superseding

indictments that could add charges and possible codefendants. >> garrett haake and glenn, thank you so much for being with us this morning. turning now to capitol hill where house speaker, kevin mccarthy, has come as close as he has ever been to saying he is close to an impeachment inquiries into the biden administration and biden family. >> it's rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, that provides congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed. >> this morning the dnc responded with a statement that reads in part, quote, it's clear that donald trump is the real speaker of the house. he has made sure the house majority is a little more than an arm of his 2024 campaign. joining us now is jake sherman, punchbowl news co founder and

msnbc political contributor. and this is a strong suggestion made by mccarthy on the topic of impeachment. >> it's not clear if mccarthy is starting an impeachment inquiry into garland. he said publicly he would open an impeachment inquiry into garland if the evidence pointed that way, and he did not say it was biden he was looking to start that inquiry into. the broader point here, i don't think we are going to get out of this congress without impeaching somebody. i think republicans are going to impeachment somebody whether it's merrick garland or alejandro mayorkas or joe biden himself. we don't know the answer to that. there are people in the

republican conference saying we need to impeachment somebody and hold people accountable and there are many options of people we can impeach. this is the climate up here republicans are operating in. >> what would be the focus of the garland impeachment? >> i think republicans think that there's a big delta between what jack -- whose name is escaping me, the u.s. attorney, and the irs whistleblowers are saying in relation to the hunter biden investigation. that's the main charge against the department of justice in their estimation. frankly right now, it's a he said, she said situation in which one side is saying something and the other side saying something else about the interference of the hunter biden investigation at the irs and doj. there are a lot of avenues republicans are exploring. in traditional times, josé, i

don't think this might not necessarily reach the impeachment level, but we are in a new political climate and that's what is being reflected right now. >> a lot of movement is around, so far, hunter biden and the whole hunter biden case. you were just talking about david weiss. he said he is willing to testify on capitol hill. what is the situation on that? >> that's a good question. i mean, the committee is doing a lot behind the scenes, a lot of interviewing of hunter biden and hunter biden associates. the department of justice did signal they would be willing at some point to have weiss up here. i am sorry i flubbed his name the first time. but to have him up here at some point testifying or talking to the committee. congress is going out of session for a month basically beginning next week and not returning until september, so a lot of the action will be paused until september in the public face but will continue behind the scenes. >> meanwhile, how is the defense

policy bill? >> the senate is coming in at 5:30 p.m. and are expected to be gone by thursday evening. a big 2 1/2-day workweek for the u.s. states senate. a lot of amendments from everything from ukraine and things on a whole host of defense policy fronts, and the big deal is to the senate bill and the house bill, and that needs to be done between now and the end of the year, and that's going to be a big policy fight. >> thank you for being with us. up next, the humanitarian crisis at the southern border now a legal showdown. the u.s. government suing texas over its treatment of migrants. we're back in 60 seconds. you are watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.

(bridget) with thyroid eye disease i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help... but then i asked my doctor about tepezza. (vo) tepezza is the only medicine that treats t.e.d. at the source not just the symptoms. in a clinical study more than 8 out of 10 patients taking tepezza had less eye bulging. tepezza is an infusion. patients taking tepezza may have infusion reactions. tell your doctor right away if you experience high blood pressure, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath or muscle pain. before getting tepezza, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, ibd, or are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. tepezza may raise blood sugar even if you don't have diabetes and may worsen ibd such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. now, i'm ready to be seen again. visit mytepezza.com to find a ted eye specialist and to see bridget's before and after photos.

14 past the hour. breaking news from the sports world this morning. a spokesman for the family of l.a. laker's star, lebron james, who says his son who plays at the university of southern california suffered a cardiac arrest yesterday while practicing. medical staff was able to treat the younger james and take him to the hospital. he's now in stable condition, no longer in the intensive care unit. i want to turn now to the update on a story that we have been following closely along the southern border. the justice department is now taking action against the state of texas. yesterday the doj filed a criminal complaint against the state for breaking federal law by placing buoys in the rio grande along eagle pass, texas,to deter migrants from

cross into the u.s., and it defied an order to remove them by yesterday. the governor of texas accuses the government from securing his country. joining us now, priscilla thompson in texas, and also with us, homeland security correspondent, julia ainsley. what do things look like there today? >> reporter: you see some of the construction crews continuing to work on the buoys back here, and to give a sense, they are in some of the lowest parts of the river, and we are seeing migrants having to navigate the deeper edges because they are continuing to cross.

there's razor wire on the embankment, and this fence is also covered in razor wire, and that's not stopping migrants from crossing. we have seen the graphic photos of the types of injuries that people have sustained climbing over this razor wire as they continue to make their way here to claim asylum. we spoke to one woman, a venezuelan migrant, and she described why she made this treacherous journey. i want to play a little part of that conversation.

>> reporter: you hear her there saying that coming here from venezuela was a necessity to her, that she had a gun held to her head and she was robbed and her children almost kidnapped. we also encountered a couple from honduras and the woman was eight months pregnant and made this treacherous journey past the razor wire and authorities had to cut her out and try to get her support. people are saying this is a humanitarian issue, but the governor said this is sending a message to people that they need to cross through the ports of entry. of course, the doj now suing and saying it's not only illegal but inhumane. >> it's important to state that leaving venezuela is just the most difficult conditions they have to go through. they have to go through a jungle and through mexico, but it's in mexico where they find people are putting guns to their heads and trying to steal their children, and in many cases

actually stealing their children. it's not just cartel members but it's police and government officials. where does the case stand versus doj and texas? >> yeah, josé, i am outside the doj right now. they sued now to try and stop it in the western district of texas, and what we are waiting for and we have not got a con confirmation on this, is if they get a stay on the buoys. as priscilla points out, texas argues these migrants should go through legal ports of entry. mayorkas under the biden administration has a plan for migrants to go through ports of entry, and we have seen it increase by thousands a month.

look, the demand is so high because of the dangerous conditions and for some people it's a matter of life and death that they have to choose not to wait and to come across, and that's why the justice department is saying that even though they set up the pathways, what texas is doing now is overreaching their authorities and violating federal laws on rivers and it's inhumane and impedes their work on the border. >> this is not happening in a vacuum. five migrants were rescued after they were abandoned by coyotes in the heat. that's a case where the mexican government is actually helping them, but what does this tell you about the dangers and reality people are facing in trying to reach the u.s., and, julia, when they are in mexico? >> well, priscilla perfectly laid out and showed through the

powerful human stories how dangerous things are in mexico, and that's something that has been well documented by international ngos, but you don't have to watch our news for very long, josé, to know how oppressive the heat is, too. and the migrants have been dealing with dehydration. we saw last week, an internal whistleblower blower said they saw a 4-year-old pass out, and border patrol is not providing them water although they have told us they provide water in the case of a medical necessity. it's a dire humanitarian situation. usually we see the numbers go down, josé, when the temperatures go up. what we are seeing is a slight increase at this point to the low numbers we saw after the lifting of title 42, which means even though we are at the record heat waves, there are some migrants too desperate to wait.

>> priscilla, your thoughts on how this all boils down to people, men, women and children, some of whom you have spoken to? >> reporter: yeah, and what they are saying is -- as you mentioned, the journey here is very difficult. many going through the daren jungle, and spending time having to deal with violent issues and when they get to the razor wire and the buoys, and they feel like this is the last step, they keep going. that's what i heard from the migrants that we have spoken to, is, yes, they saw the buoys and they were, like, oh, no, what do i do? but they kept going because it was too late to turn back, and they didn't feel like they could. they felt like they needed to continue to move forward, and we have seen several groups continue to come by even today and surrender themselves. josé? >> priscilla thompson and julia

ainsley, thank you so much. up next, the tragic death of the obama's family personal chef found dead near the obama home in martha's vineyard. is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone. when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid, like in trelegy, there is not a significant increased risk of these events. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma

paddleboarding incident. his body was recovered yesterday near the obama's home on martha's vineyard. emily ikeda joins us now. >> the authorities recovered his body about 100 feet of the shoreline near the vacation home of the barack obamas. he worked with the family since their time in the oval office. another paddleboarder witnessed him go underwater and he said he appeared to struggle to stay on the surface and did not resurface. we are now hearing from mr. and

mrs. obama, and they wrote in the years that followed we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinary kind person that made all of our lives a little brighter. the u.s. coast guard said there were more than 600 fatalities from boating accidents last year and are seeing an increasing percentage of those, josé, involving kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. new details about a car accident ron desantis was involved in this morning while on the trail. the secret service is taking action after there are reports the dog has bitten up to ten people. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.

33 past the hour. a four-vehicle motorcade carrying the republican presidential hopeful, ron desantis, was involved in a car accident this morning. the video shows some of the aftermath of the accident. desantis' press secretary said it happened while traveling to chattanooga, tennessee, and the governor and his team were uninjured. a female staffer suffered a minor injury but continued on to the event and was treated there.

trump's legal troubles have taken center stage and it may be providing him with a boost. quote, when the impending indictment from manhattan d.a. alvin bragg started dominating the news, trump stood at 47%, and then when trump was convicted of rape, he sat just below 54%. joining us, our guests, both msnbc political analysts. if you are in the bottom tier of the 2024 candidate, how do you break out when this is what has happened? >> well, josé, that is the trap that republicans find themselves in. donald trump, he keeps getting more and more popular among republican primary voters despite the fact that his legal troubles and all of the other

controversies surrounding him would make it very difficult for him to win in a general election, swing district and swing state voters just have not supported donald trump or his movement for the last three general elections, so these lower tier candidates, which is pretty much everyone except trump and maybe desantis, really have to find a way to connect with voters and make a sober argument that at the same time connects with the voters and explains to them that even though they may like trump, even though they like trump's style, and maybe they like his policies, that if republicans want to win in 2024, they are probably going to have to go with a different candidate. >> meanwhile, utah senator, mitt romney, wrote an op-ed urging mega donors to with draw, and he said that decision day should be

no later than february 26th, the monday following the contest. what is the significance of this? >> what really struck me, josé, about this, is mitt romney is not only calling on candidates to recognize if they have not crossed a potential threshold to get out of the race, but he's calling on donors to hold those candidates responsible. there are concerns about a crowded field benefiting donald trump as it did in 2016, those are not new. the prevailing wisdom from folks including the likes of sununu, he said it doesn't matter when they get in but matters when they get out. what mitt romney is doing is saying, look, the outside influence mega donors have right now matters, and tens of millions of dollars have been

poured into the process, and donors, you should hold your candidates responsible, and tell them they need to get out after the early contest. romney's basically saying you should make your candidates make apromise, if they have not broken through by then, then they get out. >> carlos, just this morning, there's now seven names that qualified for the first debate. what kind of opportunity does this provide them? >> look, josé, that will be the first opportunity where millions of candidates can speak to primary voters that will be tuned into that debate. it's a huge thing to try and get on the debate stage. you need at least 40,000 unique contributions from a diversity of states. you can't just be from your

state. it isn't an easy threshold, but the prize is big. that is where they are really going to have the opportunity to make a break through, to make that argument directly to millions of republican primary voters, and now they have to go state to state and door to door and attend town halls, and that debate could be huge for them and could be decisive in the primary process. that's where the grip trump has could be loosened. >> thank you both for being with us. appreciate it. this morning new concerns about president biden's dog after the german separate has attacked secret services officers on ten different occasions. what more do we know about the

ins incidents? what a beautiful dog? >> these incidents go back to late '22, and a watch group filed legal papers to get through the communications and emails of the secret service seeking to find out incidents. it was based on the protective detail, and they outlined a number of incidents when commander biden, still puppy, bit some of the personnel. one officer was taken to the hospital for treatment, and some others results in knicks and cuts. they acknowledge training and

leash protocols and they are working with secret service and so forth to try and make this a safe environment for everybody involved. separately, the secret service indicated to me that they want to be sure that all of their personnel are safe and they are following the same practices they have in the past where there are, of course, family pets that are part of a first family's life. secret service don't handle or care for the dogs, and that's done by other staff at the white house in addition to the family. it's notable because the prior dog, major biden, was rehomed after biting as well. president biden has long loved german shepherds and that's the kind of dog we are talking about today. up next, we will talk to a doctor about the cardiac arrest that the son of lebron james suffered by practicing. and then averting a strike

that could affect the country. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. d. i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for an erc tax refund. you should get a second opinion from innovation refunds at no upfront cost. sometimes you need a second opinion.

associate professor of an staezology and critical care, and also a msnbc medical contributor. great seeing you, doctor. how does something like this happen? we are talking about an 18-year-old. >> first, i want to give my condolences to the family and a speedy recovery to him. it's a flashback to buffalo bill's safety, i think he was a safety, damar hamlin. it's one of those things where we see cardiac arrest can happen to younger people, and we are seeing in this post pandemic time, we are seeing an increase in cardiac arrest and cardiac arrests with deaths, and that increased by 30% in the first two years of the pandemic. now, is this related to that? is this related to the same condition that hamlin had when

we had the impact to his chest that stopped his heart? we don't know. but what we can say, is early intervention saves lives, and we can celebrate their lives because somebody stepped in and restarted their heart. >> what do you think are some of -- or what could be some of the factors that are calling this, as you know, an enormous spike, a 30% increase? >> yeah, we know with covid-19, just in general, and i don't know if that is what went into this case, but we know covid-19 causes inflation of the heart, and we know covid-19 has been associated with blood clots not only throughout the heart but in the lungs. what we do know is regardless of how this heart stops, knowing cpr and knowing how to do the basic life-saving techniques can

keep somebody alive. i urge all of america, learn how to do it because you could be the person that keeps that person alive to see tomorrow. >> what kind of a recovery for a strong, you know, 18-year-old james looks like? >> a speedy recovery. if cpr and the life-saving preventions are done early particularly on a young person, their young bodies has reserves, and if somebody saw that he was no longer functioning at himself, seconds matters, learning the basic techniques and going into your local ymca could help you learn how to do cpr that can not only keep your family but other persons safe. >> thank you. we are getting a new read on home prices as ups and the

teamster's union try to avoid a strike. dom chu is here with us. what do the numbers on home prices mean? >> things are still influx for the housing market. we are talking about the s&p corelogic case index, and it's a mouthful but it gives us a bigger picture in the key u.s. housing markets. prices nationally in may rose by 0.7 of a percent from april, but those prices are half a percent lower than in may of last year. now, that's good, but for perspective prices are just 1% below the peak levels that we saw in june of last year, and that is not as good. as for where we are seeing the biggest gains in prices year over year, believe it or not, it's in places like chicago, cleveland and new york, which is bucking the trend that we have seen over the last five years, and certainly over the last two to three given all the demand

and the heat in the real estate market geared towards warm-weather areas, like florida, arizona, texas. now on the corporate front, josé, we got quarterly results from the pulte home new home c. we will see how things shake out for real estate. >> u.p.s. and the teamsters union sitting down for more talks today. >> they are. they are negotiating, jose. that's a positive in and of itself. both sides plan to meet again today, which is good, because the last time they met was on july 5th, before both sides became deadlocked and publically accused each other on not negotiating in good faith and walking out. progress has been made on some bigger issues like providing air conditioning in trucks and vans. jose, one of the sticking points remains pay for part-time workers. they are half of u.p.s.'s

55 past the hour. moments from now president biden will sign a proclamation to establish a national monument to memorialize emmett till and his mother. it will be established across illinois and mississippi. the lynching, when he was 14, and his mother's activism were catalysts to the movement. joining us, reverend al sharpton. thank you, reverend, for being with us. i was curious today, i was thinking about, what you see as

the -- the significance of this historic honor. >> the significance of it is that on emmett till's birthday, his lynching, his killing was an impetus for the civil rights movement. rosa parks often said when she sat in the front of the bus in montgomery, alabama, that day, that became the spark that started the montgomery boycott. when they told her to move, she said, i couldn't move, all i could think of was emmett till. why? because his mother had the courage to bring his body back from mississippi and pull the casket out and show the world how they beat her son. that is seared into the minds of many, including rosa parks and led into the '60s. i think it's very interesting and in my opinion as a minister

that as we are fighting to maintain the sanctity of black history in florida and the stopping the editing of the story, that this president would have this proclamation today on what would have been till's 82nd birthday. it's historical and current at the same time. this as desantis and the florida school board tried to act like we benefitted from slavery. we are still fighting to be treated fairly like everybody else. >> al, you knew his mother. what should younger generations know about her and about her son? >> emmett till's mother never stopped fighting. the footage is she came to harlem. we were together many times. she never stopped fighting. young americans need to know, you never stop fighting, no matter how often they call you a

name. you don't fight until you change -- you don't stop fighting until you change society for everybody. she would not have taken this recognition as a way to stop. she would say, use the monuments as a way to in many ways reempower and strengthen the movement that is still at stake today. >> the strength of that mother, the strength of that person who suffered the most horrendous injury one can suffer and yet she was determined to continue onward, al. >> her determination lit up a country. if she had not done what she did, we don't know whether rosa parks and those behind her, dr. king and others would not have had the same drive. for this woman, even into her old age, as you saw when she came to harlem with us, never

stopped. no mother wants to bury their child. children are supposed to bury their parents. when the opposite happens, there's a few parents that will say, the world will not be the same. i'm going to make sure other mothers don't have to do that. that's why it's appropriate that president biden is giving the monument to emmett and his mother. if it had not been for his mother, he would have been another black lynched in mississippi. she made sure it wasn't that story. she wanted the world to know what they had done to her son. because of that, we fought for other sons and daughters for the last 60 years. >> reverend sharpton, thank you very much for putting it into such eloquent words and so important how one person -- every single person matters and the strength and determination of that extraordinary woman.

i'm glad that you are with us. i appreciate it. thanks. >> thank you. before we go, we wrap up this hour with good news. good news on the power of community. when 80-year-old ice cream vendor juan was robbed at gunpoint earlier this week, he lost $120. that's the money he said he was needing to send to his son in peru. this weekend, residents in oakland came together to give him a hand. on saturday -- look at the pictures -- dozens of people lined up to buy juan's ice cream. >> let juan know the community is there for him. he is not alone. >> one man giving juan $500 and a hug. the outpouring bringing him to tears and showing how a little generosity means so much
