tv   Jose Diaz- Balart Reports  MSNBC  August 1, 2023 8:00am-9:00am PDT

8:00 am
the diehard u.s. fans on this night are determined. >> the amount of stress i had every single time they were in front of the goal, i was, like, yes, yes, yes, yes. >> next up for the u.s. team is going to be facing off against sweden in melbourne. they do have five days before that game. when we spoke with rapinoe after that game, she said this team needs to analyze and look at the footage and take the next five days at the team. >> "josé diaz-balart reports" picks up our coverage right now. good morning. it's 11:00 a.m. eastern, and 8:00 a.m. pacific. right now in washington, d.c. a grand jury investigating former president trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 elections back at the courthouse. it comes as trump could face
8:01 am
charges in that any day now. former president biden and former president trump could be tied in a rematch. we will talk to the women world's cup and olympian champion, brandy chastain about the nail-biter of a game. we begin with the very latest on the investigation surrounding former president donald trump. members of the grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election have arrived right here at the federal courthouse in washington, d.c. the former president predicting on his social media site the panel could indict him, quote, any day now.
8:02 am
he received a letter saying he was a target in the special counsel interference investigation. with us now to talk more about all of this, nbc news justice reporter, riley outside the court, and katie, a msnbc contributor, and charles. ryan, you are at the courthouse. what is going on there as of right now? >> reporter: well, we know the grand jury is meeting today and you can see behind me there are vehicles from the federal protective services, and it's a little bit of a change with that. a little increase in security here. this all comes, i think, most critically not only after the target letter trump received,
8:03 am
but after the meeting between him and his lawyers, and in the documents case we saw an indictment there after in the mar-a-lago case, and if they don't return an indictment today we would expect them to meet on thursday unless there's a special session held in the meantime. you know, this grand jury has been doing a lot of work in the last couple of months, and some of the electors were put forward and some said donald trump won states he lost, and up to former vice president mike pence where he testified before the grand jury a couple months ago in the proud boys trial, and that gives
8:04 am
you a look at as these cases churn along, you have a chance to look at the evidence over the course of several months. >> ryan, how will things play out once the grand jury make the case? >> reporter: typically what will happen is the jury foreperson along with the prosecutor will go to a judge, and as it so happens, which today given that we are in a new month of august, and typically that would happen sometime in the afternoon. last thursday, when we were all expecting activity here when in reality the activity ended up further south in florida, and we got a hint there would be no indictments returned on that third, so we could have some sense in the afternoon and a lot of this is up in the air, and
8:05 am
they don't have to warn the courtroom deputy there will be something coming in, and there's a timeframe in which they are supposed to be in court, so we could see something later this afternoon or see something thursday, but, really, we are just keeping our eye out for what is going to happen next. >> it has been two weeks since trump received the letter saying that he was, indeed, a target of the investigation. we have not heard from anybody at the doj. should we expect to hear from the justice department after an indictment is handed up, if it is? >> i think the justice department likes to speak through its court filings so any accusations it levies against donald trump or anything it says he has done will come in the form of the indictment. it has been interesting to watch, the justice department with regards to donald trump has used speaking indictments and used court documents to tell the full narrative about what they think it is that the former
8:06 am
president has likely done, and we saw that in the documents case, and i would expect to see in this matter. it was not the attorney general merrick garland that smoke, but it was jack smith that gave extremely brief remarks. we could see that again. this is a place where the justice department is treading carefully, and they are taking a matter, try as hard as it can to take the politics out of it, and that includes not having president biden's hand-picked attorney general not come out and speak. >> the man that advised pence on what he could do on january 6th, he made a comment on a podcast. listen to this. >> this indictment for january 6th, if it does come, would
8:07 am
never have come except for the fact that the former president wanted to be indicted for his role on january 6th. he's taunt and provoked first the department of justice and then after jack smith was appointed as special counsel, jack smith to indict him. >> which case would have the most serious legal consequences, do you think? >> well, josé, i do think that starting off we have to consider that mar-a-lago is the most serious case right now because it's the only case he has been indicted for. the point he becomes indicted federally for something else, that's a different conversation. depending on what the charges are, if you are talking about seditious conspiracy charge, and
8:08 am
we don't know all, but based off the target letter there were several charges, and only jack smith knows if and for what the former president could be indicted. if you have a serious charge like that it could keep donald trump from holding public office again, and that's a serious thing and you have to take that into consideration. absent the conversation we have had so far, is what is going on in fulton county in georgia. if that moves forward with the indictment, he should be concerned with that because donald trump has a very slim, albeit, still viable means to pardon himself should he win the election in 2024 next year, or should he be able to convince if it's the winner, should it be a republican, to pardon him, and we have had several people from that field saying they would pardon him if they win the election, and so he has a potential out.
8:09 am
but if he is indicted and later convicted, that same out does not exist. i think it's dicey in the terms of asking the question which is the most serious case and which one he should be most concerned about. >> i thank you for pointing that out. in georgia, they insist there's no coordination or cooperation between her and special counsel smith's investigation, telling a georgia radio station saying i don't know what jack smith is doing and jack smith doesn't know what i am doing, and is it unusual there's no coordination between these two offices? >> no, it's not unusual at all, josé. while it's not impossible, i would say overall it's not likely. she will continue on the track she's doing as a state prosecutor in georgia, and jack smith will continue to do the
8:10 am
job he's doing as the special counsel for the department of justice. and it's going to sort of be impacted by what either of them does is what the schedule looks like going forward for donald trump. i suspect donald trump's attorneys are going to try and use the may 20th 2024 date set by the judge in south florida as the benchmark for every other case. if he is indicted in georgia and new york, what will happen is they will track the federal case with respect to mar-a-lago, and that would not be unusual but that would be a huge win for him as a defendant because he could push everything he could down the road as far as he can.
8:11 am
>> there's no cooperation or coordination, but which of the two are, in a sense, more dangerous for the former president? >> i don't think we can answer that question, because we don't know how the former president would behave in court and what evidence he could marshal, and what arguments there are in either case, and it's a question that implies people want to do damage to the former president, and i understand people are out there that want to do that and it's an impossible question to answer. a better way to look at it is how can this impact his campaign? currently, republicans are rallying around him. how will the american people respond to a candidate that potentially has been indicted
8:12 am
multiple times and will spend a great deal of time on the campaign trail and in a courtroom. in a way it's helping him right now, but his opponents could have time and airtime he may not have because he will be tied up with a lot of legal issues. >> a much better answer to a much better question, katie. thank you very much. thank you all for being with us this morning. what we know about an american woman and her daughter who have been kidnapped in haiti. plus, a man that drove into a group of farm workers outside north carolina turned himself in. what he says happened when we come back in 60 seconds. you are watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. o, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters. let innovation refunds help with your erc tax refund

8:14 am
appearance since the arraignment, and he has been charged with three counts of murder. he has pleaded not guilty in three murders of women, and he has been the suspect in a fourth murder but has not been charged in that case. there were 11 sets of human remains found along the beach. now to a story we brought you yesterday, a man in north carolina -- there you see a video, he's driving his car into six migrant workers outside of walmart has turned himself into authorities. police say the 68-year-old gonzales said he accidentally hit the gas while parking and fled in a panic. police originally said they believed it was an intentional assault. >> yeah, they did because of the
8:15 am
video, and it's important to report now we have a suspect that turned himself in. yesterday when we learned about the attack that happened over the weekend and we spoke to some of the workers, and the workers were scared. these are farm workers that come into the country on a visa and work six days a week, and their sundays, josé, are the days they go into town and go shopping, and they were waiting to get on the bus. initially the information they received said it appeared it could have been intentional, but the authorities were very careful not to communicate any cause, so they said they were still investigating, right? now we understand the suspect after the accident went and spoke to his family and told them what happened and his family contacted the authorities and told them it was an accident, and we now know he stepped on the gas instead of the brakes. a lot of the workers that went to work yesterday and said they were scared will have a different way to look at the situation, understanding that
8:16 am
somebody says this was a mistake. >> they were relatively minor injuries in most of the cases? >> as of now, six people were struck and injured. all have been released from the hospital and are expected to recover. the injuries are, for example, one man had a broken ankle and another man had injuries to his happened. these are the ones we spoke to. they are injuries they will recover from. these are farm workers, josé, that have to work six days a week and might not be making the money they would be making because they have to take a week or two off. the mexican consulate told us they have financial and legal help for them if that's necessary. they are asking the workers to contact the mexican consulate if they need that help, josé. >> thank you very much for that important update. appreciate it. still ahead, a covid comeback? we will talk to a doctor about the uptick in cases. plus, potential warning signs for president biden and his race for re-election. what new polling says about the

21 past the hour. this morning u.s. space command headquarters will remain in colorado after president biden reversed plans made by the trump administration to move it to alabama. joining us now with more is co
8:22 am
founder of punchbowl news and, of course, an msnbc contributor. how do we get to this point on this? >> that's a great question, josé. we got there for a few reasons. number one, you could take the explanation at face value, which is the space command was best suited to be in colorado but the background music here, josé, is the senator from alabama who was also in the mix to get the space command held up hundreds of military flag officers and senior pentagon officials over the defense department's abortion policy. the administration indicated this had nothing to do with it but i think there are plenty of people on capitol hill, including some in the delegation, the alabama delegation, who wonder if tuberville's blockade played a role in losing that space for alabama, and one chair indicates
8:23 am
he will investigate that. it's not an issue that will die down anytime soon. >> in the meantime, hunter biden's former business partner testified as three republicans sent a letter out about hunter biden's plea agreement? >> yeah, hunter biden's business partner gave a little bit for everybody, and he did say he put joe biden on speaker phone, and it was more about the weather and other happenings in their life. i think congress will return in
8:24 am
a couple weeks, the beginning of september, and the leadership will have a tricky deal to deal with, if they impeach joe biden over a host of claims, many of which they have not been able to prove. i think the chorus from the right of the house republican conference is hungry to take a hit at joe biden, and i think we will see that happen. >> jake sherman, always a pleasure to see you. i thank you. president biden and former president trump are locked in a dead heat in a hypothetical 2020 match-up, each at 43%. neither candidate has a particularly strong favorability rating when it comes to the selection cycle. biden at 43%. trump at 41%. joining us now with more is mark murray, an nbc senior reporter.
8:25 am
>> i think the public at large, josé, should take away this is shaping up to be a very, very close election if we are going to see another biden versus donald trump rematch. there are shortcomings for joe biden and donald trump. on the biden side, there are parts of the democratic coalition that frayed since 2020. when you look at the cross tabs of the poll, joe biden is not doing as well among black voters, young voters, latinos and independents as in 2020 according to the exit polls, and donald trump remains more unpopular than joe biden. as we saw in the 2020 election, that was very decisive. there are flaws for both individuals. again, we have 15 months to go before election day 2024, and that's an eternity in politics. >> your thoughts on the poll itself, and it's a snapshot of a
8:26 am
moment in time in a national poll. what does it tell you? >> that this is shaping up to be a close contest if the nominees are joe biden and donald trump. as you mentioned, we have a long ways to go, and josé, we are talking about all the potential and real legal jeopardy and investigations and indictments that donald trump is facing. i think we all have to be humble that the cumulative weight of all the investigations could end up changing the republican race as well as the general election. we have not seen that yet, but i think we need to keep that in mind and do note that even, you know, when we look at the republican race, and donald trump has a substantial lead over the rest of his field, when i look back at the nbc poll from november or -- july of 2007, hillary clinton had a 20-point
8:27 am
lead over barack obama, and we saw barack obama winning the democratic nomination. things can change, and all the polls i have seen have not changed all that much especially since 2020, but we have to be on the lookout for things numbers in races can change. >> governor ron desantis defended his change. >> at the end of the day, nobody is going to care about what happened in early july, six or seven months before the primaries. what they want to know, the voters here in new hampshire is, okay, why you? i am not a campaign professional, and you set out the vision and execute on it. >> a course correction is one thing. where are we in the schedule of things, mark? the florida governor is, what, 20 or 30 points behind the frontrunner. is there a time? >> josé, we are in the dog days
8:28 am
of summer, and we are certainly less than six months away from the iowa caucuses, and seven or eight months away from super tuesday. we have a ways to go, and if you are ron desantis, the good news for you, and i mentioned earlier, barack obama was trailing by 20 points and was still able to capture the nomination. and what happened for barack obama, we had the iraq war and it changed many voters' minds, and made hillary clinton not an appealing of an anominee, and whether or not ron desantis has an iraq war type of position he can use against donald trump, that remains to be seen. we have to get to the debates and more litigating on the campaign trail, and, again, we have a ways to go. >> thank you, my friend. good to see you. up next, if you have been seeing people around you getting covid, you are not alone. we will have to speak with the doctor about how to best protect

8:34 am
june. cnbc's dominic chu is with us. what does it tell us about the travel boom? >> it's whether the travel boom could show signs of slowing down, at least initial signs. for jetblue airlines we did see more nuance in travel trends play out, and they have destinations like the caribbean and it's primarily a domestic airline, and it just cut the profit forecast for domesti travel. cruise demands are dealing with higher fuel and labor cost that will eat into their profit
8:35 am
margins. marriott raised its forecast for what it scenes as future strength for international travel, and travel dollars are shifting more towards international side of things. uber also reported results and did cite growth there because people are traveling relatively for leisure, and maybe office return in the fall, and we will see how that plays out for the technologies. >> thank you very much. if you noticed friends, neighbors, loved ones, testing positive for covid you are not alone. covid hospitalizations are up 12% from last week, and joining us is an msnbc medical contributor. it's always great seeing you. i think we all have been
8:36 am
noticing, right, there's somebody you know or people are, you know, think they have a cold and it ends up being covid. what is going on? what are you seeing? >> we are seeing the same thing, josé, in the clinic. hospitalizations are going up. let me start with good news. we are not seeing anywhere near the dramatic rises we have seen in previous summers, and that's good news. a large population has been vaccinated. a mask can be your best friend. it's time to bring them out again, and especially as the school season starts. we don't want to see kids missing school for things we could have prevented. >> people that i know, right,
8:37 am
just recently, just talking, oh, i have a headache today and i am waking up with a little sore throat. check if it's covid? no, it's a cold. then they check and they have it, and they have their sense of smell and taste and et cetera. is there a new strain? what should we be looking out for? >> great question. we are watching the waste water surveillance and they are seeing the uptick in the eg5 omicron sub variant, and it keeps us on alert what is seeing more hospitalizations, and we are seeing infection of the eye, and sometimes people are just suffering from fatigue, so just get the home testing.
8:38 am
>> sometimes you can't find them. and this is concerning, the cdc issued an alert for leprosy? >> yeah, leprosy is rare in the united states, and usually is transmitted in cases like an animal, and it does not mean you need to rush out and be afraid of getting leprosy, and not just in florida but in general, if you have skin rashes or regions, go and see your doctor and schedule a video visit if possible. >> how do you get it? is there any way -- how? >> well, direct contact. they are exploring the cases
8:39 am
from the soil, and that's because when they look at the other cases, they didn't see person to person transmission, and this is incredibly cold contact, it's close transmission with known infected individuals. the cdc is exploring if you could get it from the soil around you and is there something, in particular, in florida, what they need to explore, which is why they put out the alert. the symptoms could be broad, and mostly leprosy is associated with skin conditions, and the skin changes color and that's how there's bacteria and a more severe reaction. >> thank you so much for being with us this morning. always a pleasure. >> thank you. up next, why a hate crimes unit is investigating a stabbing death at a gas station in new york city. plus, the latest on the american woman kidnapped in haiti as conditions deteriorate

8:45 am
station. a 28-year-old gay man stopped at a gas station with friends when a dispute broke out with another group after the man was seen voguing. law enforcement officials identified the 17-year-old suspect and it's being investigated as a possible biassed incident. what do we know? >> in addition to the news that the authorities are looking for the 17-year-old suspect in connection to the killing of the man. we know more what happened about that night. they were voguing, which is a popular thing in new york city, and they were approached by a group of men that appear to have included the 17-year-old. according to his friends started to shout anti-lgbtq slurs, and
8:46 am
they demanded they stopped dancing, and the man stood up and explained being gay was not a bad thing and at that time he was stabbed. this has sent shot waves through the lgbtq communities in new york and around the country, josé. people are grateful the authorities are look into this as a hate crime but are worried about what it represents as an uptick as a hate incident. >> you have an incident like what we saw over the weekend when a young man was experiencing a hate crime, and this shakes our confidence. >> to put this in greater context, according to organizations that have been tracking violent anti-gay protests, and there has been an
8:47 am
uptick, about 39 of these per month nationwide since june of last year. so there's fear now that action needs to be taken in cities like new york, a city normally known to be welcoming to people of all backgrounds and communities, and here just in june during pride month there were attacks at the stonewall monument, people tearing down pride flags, and they want to see accountability in the case. >> thank you so much. let's turn to haiti where it has been five days since an american woman and her daughter were kidnapped. they were taken from the campus of the aid organization where she works, according to the group. on monday hundreds of haitians took to the streets protesting the kidnappings as the u.s. state department says it's aware of the reports of the missing americans. joining us is founder and president of a children's
8:48 am
center. thank you for being with us this morning. you just came back from haiti. how is the situation there on the ground? >> well, there's no doubt there's a great threat of danger in haiti at the moment, and for the last two years, actually, ever since the assassination of the president, gang violence, kidnapping, killings are very, very real and people are afraid. but the threat is not omnipresent and is not covering all of port-au-prince or even haiti. i keep reading 80% of the city is controlled by the gangs, and that's just not reality for most of us. i mean, we know where the dangers are. the gangs are pretty much around the periphery of the city. the embassy sends me warnings saying a certain area that has a report of shootings so we stay
8:49 am
away from that. 80% of the city is not under siege, but the problem of the violence is more economical because the gangs cut off the supply routes for food and fuel, and prices are rising so people are having a very difficult time. there's less cards on the road because people don't have the gas. food, there's a real shortage of food and with the rising prices many of the poor can't afford it. hunger is a real issue. their lives are just lived without any real sense of hope anymore. they just see this sinking into an abyss of anarchy and the government can't do anything to control the violence or stem any of the gang violence. i cannot leave without a uniformed police man carrying a machine gun because of the
8:50 am
danger. occasionally i do have to leave when he's not available and i am a bit nervous, but after eight years in haiti i know -- i can see the signs of danger. i know how to read the streets and how to avoid the troubled areas to stay away from roads where i could get caught. >> what a difficult reality it is for the average haitian. you are describing really such difficult circumstances. i just want to get your thoughts on why is it that you do what you do? i know you are in haiti. you take care of children there. why the need? what is the need? why do you do what you do? >> well, i mean, i was a network television producer. i was an executive producer at 30 rock. i somehow got into being concerned about poverty.
8:51 am
i started making films on global poverty through africa and latin america. after making more than 20 of these documentaries, mostly made to help groups raise funds to do the work they were doing, i decided that it's a big difference between filming the poor and living with the poor. i just felt compelled to do something to try to make a different kind of difference. i was in haiti making a film just before the earthquake. i returned in the immediate aftermath. i landed in port-au-prince six or seven days after the earthquake. what i saw really distressed me. i suffered post-traumatic stress order from it. i couldn't escape the reality of life for the poor in a place like port-au-prince.
8:52 am
actually, all i wanted to do was start a daycare for the women who take their kids to sell products on the streets. most kids don't go to school. i wanted a daycare center. that was the idea, moms would drop the kids off at 6:00 in the morning and come back at 6:00 at night. within the first few weeks, they never -- the moms never came back for the kids. i had 22 kids living with me. >> it's somehow -- you are making such an extraordinary difference notice world. jerry, i thank you for being with us this morning. certainly, there are ways to help out and reach out and support jerry and the organization that he leads there in haiti. i thank you for being with us this morning. >> i just want to say, right now our biggest need is -- we are trying to build a school. it's too dangerous to go to an
8:53 am
external school because the gangs kidnap the children because they know the parents will pay anything to get them back. i can't take the risk of sending 45 kids out on the streets to go to school. we're building our own school. we started it. we don't have the funds, but we started it because i have no choice. >> you have no choice. in life you do, and your choice is making a difference for so many people. thank you very much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. up next, a tense game at the women's world cup as the usa barely pulled through to advance. we will talk it through with brandi chastain. we will chat in a minute. n ia e
