it like to see them face to face like this? >> it is just incredible. i mean, it is such a different experience being in with them rather than on the other side of an acrylic. >> tom costello reporting, brave man. thank you, tom. that's going to do it for us today. thank you so much for joining us. we'll see you back here tomorrow. as always, same time, same place. until then, reporting from new york, i'm ana cabrera. jose diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now. and good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific, i'm jose diaz-balart. former president donald trump is now officially a federal criminal defendant as he takes his case to the court of public opinion after his historic arraignment. we're going to break down what is next in the case along with other looming legal problems for the former president. plus, this afternoon, all eyes will be on the federal reserve, which could pause hiking interest rates amid new data showing inflation is finally cooling down. we'll break down what this means for you.

and with a little help from artificial intelligence, beatles fans can expect a new track from the fab four more than 50 years since they last recorded together. former president donald trump is celebrating his 77th birthday today as a source inside the trump camp tells nbc news he is bracing for the possibility of more indictments. trump was defiant and insisting he did nothing wrong as he rallied supporters at his new jersey golf club last night. just hours after he pleaded not guilty to charges he lied and schemed to hold on to sensitive national security material, he was supposed to turn over when he left the white house. earlier this morning, former vice president mike pence who was challenging trump for the republican presidential nomination spoke out about the indictment. >> the very prospect that what is alleged here took place creating an opportunity where

highly sensitive classified material could have fall noon the wrong hands, even inadvertently, that jeopardizes our national security, it puts at risk the men and women of our armed forces, and as i said, i can't defend what is alleged, but the former president has a right to his day in court. >> and with us now to start off our coverage this hour, nbc n s national correspondent gabe gutierrez in miami, "washington post" congressional investigations reporter jacqueline alemany, msnbc contributor, and david weinstein, former federal prosecutor and attorney at the firm jones walker. gabe, yesterday, you were inside that courthouse for donald trump's arraignment. where can we expect things to go from here? >> reporter: good morning. it was remarkable to see what went down in the courthouse behind me yesterday. the former president sitting just feet away from special counsel jack smith as he faced

that sweeping 37-count indictment. so, over the coming months, this will be an extremely complicated case. of course, walt nauta, the alleged co-conspirator here, is set to be arraigned in just a few weeks because while he had his first appearance yesterday, he did not enter a formal plea because he did not have local counsel here. so we expect that later this month on june 27th. as for the trump case, there will be a lot discussed about pretrial motions. the defense likely to enter a motion to dismiss this case, but as -- if that goes forward or not, there will be a lot of discussion here about discovery, jose. that is very complicated in this particular case because of the amount of classified documents involved in this discovery process. so, expect both sides to discuss that in the coming weeks and months. as for the exact timeline of this case, jose, that is still up in the air. a lot of questions regarding that. also, the former president facing that other alleged hush

money case, that case could come to a head early next year. donald trump's attorneys likely to try and drag this one out as long as possible, jose. >> so, jackie, former chief of staff john kelly told your colleagues at "the washington post" that trump is, quote, scared out of his mind, using other words. this is the way he compensates for that, he said. he gives people the appearance he doesn't care by doing this, but for the first time in his life it looks like he's being held accountable. what more do we know about how trump is dealing with all these investigations and indictments? >> yeah, jose, well, we do know that privately he is continuing to meet with perspective lawyers to hire as a part of this team representing him in the mar-a-lago documents case as we had noted yesterday. he did appear with christopher kise, the veteran florida litigator, but that appears to only be a temporary move as they're still searching for someone who has extensive in state experience in terms of navigating the courts to join

the team. we know that they have -- they're continuing to interview lawyers today, a handful of prominent florida attorneys have already declined the -- any interest to that trump's team has expressed in bringing them on. but other than that, the approach has been largely political from what we have seen from trump's team so far, that legal strategy really being usurped by this primarily political strategy. there has been fund-raising emails that landed as soon as he was inside the courthouse, are likely to continue today as it is his birthday and appeal for more money, but john kelly is exactly right, he sort of put his finger on the pulse of what this former president does when he is being inundated with multiple crises at once here, he tries to really turn the stage and show -- put up a show of

defiance in order to try to tamp down the reality, the pretty grave reality of the federal charges over, you know, 30 of them that he's now facing. >> yeah, and i mean, david, there is as jackie was saying the political reaction, the legal reaction to this. but just last night the former president claimed that he had every right to have these documents. is this part of the principle or even a sound legal -- >> jose, it is probably the best of the limited number of defenses he has available to him. he had the right to have these documents when he was the president of the united states and possess them in the white house where he was and afterwards he had a right to claim that some of these were his personal documents and not part of the presidential records. but there is a process and it appears from what we know he didn't go through the process to make sure that they were declassified documents, and that

they were considered to be personal records and not presidential records, and if presidential records that the archives didn't want them. so it is perhaps among the few defenses he has, but it remains to be seen whether the facts support that defense. >> how serious of a case do you see this being? >> a very serious case. look, we're talking about defense documents that were classified, that contain military information about our nation and our allies. and those are supposed to be kept in a secured location and now they're found in the bathroom, on the stage, in an unsecure location. if in fact they were still classified, who knows who had access to them and that presents a severe question for our nation's safety and that's why this case was brought. >> you know, we see all of these boxes and we see here some of the pictures of where these boxes were as you say, on the stage, in a bathroom, et cetera, these could all be, you know, clippings and things like that. we really don't know where the

classified documents were or were not, even the extreme sensitivity nature of these documents. but i'm just wondering, is it the overwhelming aspect of all of these things that are so detailed in the indictment that should be of concern to the former president or are they different layers that he should be dealing with? >> he should be concerned about all of this. what is in the indictment is public and public record and that's what we all can see. there is going to be additional discovery that is handed over to him that is going to show additional information about the tracking of these boxes, the fact that they're missing notes and declassification notes and other evidence and statements of witnesses and people who have formerly not been identified per se in the document itself, but all of that in addition to what's in the indictment, that's what he should be concerned about. >> so, jackie, i want to bring up some other issues with you, but what do we know about where

things stand with some of the other investigations surrounding the former president? >> yeah, that is a very good question, jose. i mean, just yesterday the former president suffered another legal setback, a federal judge in manhattan had ruled that writer e. jean carroll could add a new defamation claim to a lawsuit she had filed in a different lawsuit against trump. she had obviously just won a $5 million judgment against trump in a different lawsuit last month or two months ago. hard to keep track of time with all of these legal issues swirling around. we also know that jack smith is continuing his work as the special counsel to interview people as a part of the january 6th investigation, investigating the former president's role in inciting the attack on the u.s. capitol. there were a number of people that appeared in the d.c. district courthouse yesterday to be interviewed or appear before a grand jury. and there is obviously fani

willis' fulton county investigation into the pressure campaign that was put on georgia officials by trump and his allies along with the fake electors schemes. but, of course, this trial now seems to be front and center and take precedent over some of the other trials. you saw attorney general tisch james say in an interview yesterday that the mar-a-lago documents case and trial was now going to sort of take precedent in terms of some of the scheduling issues that could arise with the former president having to prepare a defense in these myriad cases. >> and, gabe, just want to let you know that yesterday i caught a lot of the coverage both on msnbc and nbc, the special coverage, and you were just, you know, such a central part of that coverage. and i want to congratulate you, gabe, because you always do great work. what were some of the things that struck you the most?

you're miami born and bred, raised guy. what struck you as a person and as a reporter? >> reporter: well, jose, it was a surreal experience to see this all unfold here at the federal courthouse. and to hear the judge say the people of the united states versus donald j. trump, and see the former president facing this indictment, i was in a media overflow room, i saw it through a video screen, i was able to see a head on shot of the former president crossing his arms and seemed frustrated to be there, he did not want to be there. especially as this indictment -- this arraignment got under way, it was his attorney that entered his not guilty plea on his behalf. also, the scene out here, to see, you know, demonstrators here outside of the federal courthouse, and that wild scene as the motorcade pushed out, we were surprised to see more of the streets had not been blocked off and to see those demonstrators, one in particular, go off in front of the motorcade and be pushed off

to the side, and then, jose, an iconic spot down here to see the former president go to versailles after this historic appearance at this courthouse, remarkable to see donald trump go in there and make a campaign stop and to hear his supporters there seesing him happy birthda before he made his way to the airport and heading off to new jersey. it was a remarkable scene in so many ways, a historic day in the history of this country. and, yes, former president of the united states facing a 37-count indictment, i just have never seen anything like it. it was very different than what i saw several months ago up in new york, the weight of this case was incredible to witness, especially here in miami, again, where i grew up and, you know, have reported from many times. jose? >> absolutely. gabe guterres, jackie alemany and david weinstein, thank you

for being with us. we're hours away from the fed's latest announcement on interest rates with new data showing inflation cooling, what could this mean for the prices you and i pay? and later, retribution for donald trump's indictment. one republican senator now vowing to hold up all justice department nominations. we're going live to capitol hill. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. os you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ every day, more dog people are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered right to your door. it's smarter, healthier pet food.

13 past the hour. today the federal reserve could finally break its streak of hiking interest rates as new data shows inflation is cooling, hitting its lowest level since march 2021. chairman jerome powell set to announce the fed's decision this afternoon. and while this is welcome news to investors, the fed chair expecting to take a cautious tone and not rule out future hikes. joining us now with more is cnbc's dominic chu. dominic, good morning. if the feds hold off on raising

rates, what could this mean for all of us? >> so, jose, it is a complicated story to tell. we pointed out many times over the last several weeks and even months now on your show the cross currents with the economy, rates, inflation, jobs, we can see both benefits and drawbacks at the same time with the same set of headlines and the same data. now, in the case of the fed and interest rates for today, some will argue that if you want more relief for everyday americans, consumers, whether it be at the pump, at the grocery store, you might actually want the federal reserve to keep raising interest rates because what you are already seeing are signs that prices have fallen rather sharply from recent inflationary peaks. now, that's due in large part to that streak of interest rate hikes from the fed. remember, ten straight meetings where rates have been raised by a total of around 5 full percentage points or 500 basis points. so that makes it one of the most forceful and quick rate hike campaigns in modern market

history. at the same time, raising interest rates raises the borrowing costs for those using credit to make the purchases, making it less affordable if you're borrowing money to bridge the gap between income and spending. so, one of the things that we will keep a very close eye on, as you are seeing there, are the percent changes in things like food, like fuel, like electricity, like everything else that we consume in our daily basis, one thing is for sure, though, jose, fed chair jerome paul lat powell later on afternoon will be in the hot seat when he faces reporters. >> talk about the ppi, the producer price index, declined .3% in may. what does that mean? >> what it means, .3% drop in wholesale level inflation or business level inflation from april to may, it translates into a 1.1% gain annual from the same time last year.

that's important because it is the smallest annual rate of inflation for business or wholesale prices since december of 2020. now, if you strip out the effects of food and energy, they're more volatile. that so-called core ppi was up just .2% for the month. and up around 2.8% year over year. so, headline producer prices are falling. core prices are rising modestly. what that does imply is that business level inflation is falling from a headline perspective because of lower fuel and lower food costs. what this also ind ca indicates we're seeing a good amount of the inflationary pressure we saw in the supply chain because of the pandemic and supply chain issues, we're seeing signs of that easing, meaning, jose, at the retail or consumer level for us, we might see a little bit more relief in the coming months and quarters because up the supply chain things are getting better in terms of price.

>> dominic chu, thank you for explaining these things so clearly to us, especially to me. i really appreciate it. thanks. for more on this, we're joined by nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster inside a grocery store in chicago. shaq, great seeing you this morning. what are you hearing from folks there? >> reporter: well, definitely some mixed comments from shoppers here and that's because while we are talking about inflation easing, we're still talking about the idea of prices increasing. so it is going to take some time for shoppers to feel a real difference. and when you look at that last report, we talked about food going up, about 6.7% year over year, i have a sweet tooth, so look at cookies and cakes, the price of those increasing about 11% in that report. but there are some glimmers of hope. you look at the price of eggs, for example, the prices that you're seeing there right now, that's about 13% less than what you saw a month ago. you look at bacon, look at milk, those prices also coming down. so, you have that mixed picture there when looking at the latest

data which translates to these comments from shoppers. >> specifically what has gone up? >> meat. the food go up a little bit and start going down again. >> you noticed food prices going down. >> started going down again. >> how does that make you feel? >> very good. very good for us. >> when the government comes out and says, inflation is slowing, what are you thinking? >> i believe it when i see it. >> you don't feel it yet? >> no. i don't see it either. >> reporter: so still a little bit more work to do to convince them. shoppers are saying they see improvement, they see progress, but they're not really feeling that impact just yet. >> shaquille brewster in chicago, thank you. good seeing you. straight ahead, we're going to go live to capitol hill this morning where republican senator j.d. vance is promising to hold

23 past the hour. on capitol hill, a republican lawmaker is pledging to create new hurdles for the biden administration following the indictment of former president trump on 37 felony counts. senator j.d. vance of ohio, an early supporter of trump, says that he's putting a procedural hold on nearly all nominees for the department of justice in response to the indictment of the former president. joining us now is nbc's ali vitali. good morning. so senator j.d. vance, could he be really holding up future appointments? >> reporter: look, this is something where you and i have talked about this before. in the u.s. senate, things can move as quickly as everyone

decides they should or as slowly if there is even one person who says they want to gum up the process. in this case, we're now seeing this freshman senator from ohio say that he wants to do just that when it comes to doj nominees with the exclusion of u.s. marshals. vance said yesterday this is in direct response to the indictment of former president donald trump, vance, of course, a long-time trump supporter, but in reality, this is a process that it doesn't necessarily slow down something that wasn't already potentially slow. all 100 senators could have agreed to do these doj nominees much more quickly, but now they're just going to go through a slower regular order process. that's basically the implication of what vance is saying here. >> and, ali, meanwhile, some republican lawmakers are making new claims against president biden. what is going on. >> reporter: that's right. in response to most of the questions that i and my colleagues here leveled at republicans about trump's indictment, specifically when it came to asking them about the actual substance of what was in the pages that we were all able

to read through once that indictment was unsealed, most lawmakers turned those questions around and instead tried to focus them on the president. for example, when we asked speaker mccarthy yesterday about potential allegations allege frankly even if he thought the classified documents that the former president held on to belonged to him, this is what he told us. watch. >> reporter: and so, look, once again, we're seeing republicans employ this what aboutism tactic in response to the claims that trump is dealing with. now they're leveling them back at the democratic side, trying to muddy the waters. >> ali vitali on capitol hill, thank you so very much. this morning, new reaction after the white house is extending the temporary

protected status for more than 300,000 people from el salvador, honduras, nepal, and nicaragua who are already in the u.s. the move allows them to remain and work in the u.s. for another year and a half, reversing a trump era decision. julia ainsley joins us this morning. great seeing you. this is a huge deal. 240,000 el salvadorans alone will be benefiting. what is the reaction? >> the first thing we should say is these are people who previously entered the country, people who entered before 1998. we're not talking about opening the doors to those who want to come now. that's the first thing we always have to say when we're talking about temporary protected status. this is a presidential power, used to protect people who may have suffered from some kind of humanitarian or natural disaster to protect people already in the united states from being sent back to those circumstances. now, the trump administration tried to end those temporary status for those people from those countries.

el salvador, nicaragua, honduras and nepal. but a judge blocked them from doing so. then it turned into this court order over whether or not these people would have their status extended, the biden administration extended it by one year. so the court didn't have to decide. now they're extending it again. most of the people are looking at the end of 2025, at the point where they will again have their status in question. a lot of humanitarian groups say this is the right way to go, but they're all hoping congress will step in so the people aren't wondering year by year with each new administration or court decision whether they'll be allowed to stay in the country. they have been here for about 25 years. >> yeah. and they have children and grandchildren here and have really established roots already in our country. julia, meanwhile, the biden administration halted the mobile app appointments for asylum seekers in a border crossing in laredo, texas. why? >> that's in laredo because of the conditions in the town in northern mexico across the border and that sector where

according to some of the immigrants, asylum seekers, they say they have been extorted, that the day that they make their appointment, the day of their appointment, they made through the app, mexican officials are holding them back and asking them to pay a bribe in order to cross. now, humanitarian people say this is because the cdp one app has failed to understand how dangerous the conditions are in northern mexico. that people who are waiting to cross the border, waiting for the appointments made on that app are going to be victims of extortion, of worse crimes than that, simply because they're made to wait because of this app rather than the old process, which would have allowed many more of them to cross at once. now, because of the app, that is one reason dhs is pointing to the lower border numbers, now down to 3500 a day, compared to 10,000 we were seeing a little over a month ago. but it does call into question whether or not this app can hold when the conditions in northern mexico are so poor. so right now it is temporarily

on hold in that sector. >> incredible fears. want to talk about that. i and i want to underline what you said in this extraordinary reporting you always give us. but this is mexican officials that are -- >> according to the asylum seekers, yeah, that's who they say. >> so cartels and officials hand and hand in mexico, talking about credible fear, what about that? julia, great seeing you. thank you so much. >> thank you, jose. up next, the great steve kornacki will be with us from the big board to break down the political impact of the trump indictment. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. power e*trade's easy-to-use tools, like dynamic charting and risk-reward analysis help make trading feel effortless. and its customizable scans with social sentiment help you find and unlock opportunities in the market. e*trade from morgan stanley.

34 past the hour. new insight today on how americans feel about donald trump's historic indictment. nikki haley seems to be shifting her position, now suggesting she would favor pardoning trump if she wins. >> i mean, look at the a pardon, the issue is less about guilt and more about what's good for the country. and i think it would be terrible for the country to have a former president in prison for years because of a documents case. that's something you see in a third world country. i saw that at the united nations. so i would be inclined in favor of a pardon. >> with us now to talk more

about this, nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki at the big board and nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard near donald trump's golf club in bedminster, new jersey. what more are we learning about how americans feel about this case? >> yeah, starting to get some poll numbers in as folks digest all the events of this week, what is in that indictment. this is an reuters ipsos poll that came out yesterday. they asked a bunch of interesting questions here. the bottom line question, the statement here that donald trump illegally removed classified documents from the white house and stored them at mar-a-lago. that's from the indictment there, do you find that believable or not believable? and you see among all americans a clear majority there find that accusation to be believable against donald trump. but, there are some stark divisions here among republicans, the clear majority find that not believable. there is still about a third of republicans who do find that believable, though. among that always crucial block of independent voters, again, a clear majority, 58%, who find

that to be believable that trump illegally moved classified documents and brought them to mar-a-lago. there is the question, if he did that, should he be disqualified from running for president? what exactly that means to people, do think they should be legally disqualified or just makes him morally unqualified for the job, that's open for some interpretation here, but basically you put that statement to people, 50% agreed with that, that trump should be disqualified from running from president because of the criminal charges. again, overwhelming majority of republicans don't feel that way. a majority of independents say they do feel that way. where the numbers start to get a little more complicated and interesting, though, is when you put this statement in front of voters, the indictment of donald trump is politically motivated. that's what trump says it is. and you also find that 50% of all voters agree with that statement. overwhelmingly republicans agree

with that. and there is actually a plurality of independents who agree that the indictment is politically motivated. if you take that a step further and try this statement out, the elite class is targeting trump because they don't want him to win in 2024, 46% of voters, plurality again, agree with that. that's the overwhelming position of republicans. you see independents don't quite feel that way. but that might help explain, particularly among republicans, that attitude, the elites are out to get trump with this. that might explain why when you take in this poll here, still the republican 2024 race, trump is a clear choice of republicans at 2 to 1 margin over his nearest rival, ron desantis. though i would note, a month ago, same poll, they tested these candidates, trump did have a bigger lead. it was a 30-point lead a month ago. you see it is a 21-point lead over desantis for him in this poll. now is that just noise? is that the result of other

candidates getting in the race, getting some attention, is that a result of folks digesting the indictment? it is one poll. but it is interesting to see a little bit of slippage. trump still leads overwhelmingly, but not as overwhelmingly in the poll a month ago. interesting to see if that's a start of a trend or a blip. >> yeah. and, vaughn, you have new reporting on how trump world is feeling after yesterday's arraignment? >> reporter: right. look, what he did immediately after the arraignment, he didn't just go home and, you know, console himself in a bedroom somewhere, donald trump went on the offensive. he took to the stage in front of hundreds of supporters, broadcasted out to millions of americans, and played offense. not only on the legal defense side of it, but also on the political defense side of this. and much of that bears out in his understanding, his team's understanding of the numbers that steve just broke down feeling like they can make the

case that he's being politically targeted by the department of justice, and an effort in his own words to not just stop him, but stop the maga movement. the conservative movement. he's far and away right now the prohibitive favorite to win the republican nomination and the move he made last night was the case that this is and effort to stop the movement in its tracks. i was talking with a close aide to donald trump last night, he said they want to not only lay out their legal defense, but also make it clear that indictments won't stop donald trump from being on the campaign trail, they won't stop him from going on the attack, and i asked that aide whether they were paying attention to what other republican candidates, republican elected officials and leaders were saying about the indictments, and the quote from him was, quote, oh, sure, we do too, we watch what everybody says, making it clear that donald trump is going to continue to attack anybody, whether it is a democrat or

whether it is republicans, that do not rally to his defense because he realizes that potentially in the scenario he were to become guilty and face prison time, getting back to the white house is the best effort to get him out of that situation. >> steve kornacki and vaughn hillyard, thank you, both, very much. up next, a new report reveals the cuban regime was behind the death of one of the country's most prominent opposition leaders, just over a decade ago. his daughter activist joins us after the break. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.

safely in as little as one treatment. 45 past the hour. brand-new report from a human rights group found that the cuban regime was responsible for the death of prominent political act visit oswaldo paya in 2012. the new findings published by the interamerican commission on human rights found that an official government car rammed the vehicle, carrying paya and other activists causing it to crash, killing both men. joining us now is rosa maria paya, the daughter of oswaldo paya, also an activist. thank you for being with us. just wondering what is your reaction to this new report? >> thank you so much, jose. and after ten years of fighting

for the truth, after also more than ten years of persecution, lies, propaganda of the cuban regime to try to hide its crime, we finally have a victory and the interamerican commission for human rights that it must be said is the most important body, multinational body, on human rights in our continent has released this decision, saying very clearly that the cuban state is responsible for the killing of my father and harold cepero. this is also unprecedented in the case of cuba. and this is also the biggest step in the direction of justice. justice that we know that will only arrive when cuba, when we have liberty.

>> i'm wondering, your father was a pacifist, he was looking to establish change within the parameters of what existed in the island today, 63 years plus of a dictatorship. just wondering, first of all, he was also your father, but, you were there in cuba, i'm wondering is this a one off, you think? this is just a once in a lifetime thing that the cuban government did? >> no, it's not. it's not. and that's why this is so important because it is not only calling for justice on the crime against my father and harold, but it is also shining a light over all the victims of that regime. past and present. while we talk, there are more than 1,000 political prisoners in jail in cuba. we're living the worst repression in years on the island and that's why so crucial that the international

community, especially the member states of the organization of american states, including united states, take an action and join this condemnation from the interamerican commission and take action and demand justice, justice for this crime against my father, but also justice for the cuban people that is demanding freedom. it is the only way to stop the impunity. it is the only way to stop the atrocities that the regime is still committing on the island. >> and rosa maria, on a more personal note, i'm just wondering what went through your mind and through your heart when you read that report about something that affected you and your family so personally and so vividly. >> nothing is going to bring back my father. nothing is going to bring back harold. but this recognition of the truth is in many ways a relief.

this is a step in the direction of justice. and justice is what we want. and my family, but i do believe the cuban people, we are not going to stop until we achieve that justice, that freedom, that democracy, that was also and is also the legacy that my father has left us and that legacy lives on. it lives on in our movement, but it also lives on the fight of the cuban people for freedom. >> rosa maria paya, thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate your time. >> thank you. coming up, how ai is enabling a fab four reunion? the beatles again? we'll explain next. you are watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. r. every piece of cargo is. and where it's going.
