we begin on capitol hill here the house is expected to vote today on a resolution to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress for refusing to hand over video tapes of an interview with president biden. this comes before one day when president trump is set to head to congress for meetings, including senator mitchell mcconnell. joining us now is ali vitali. does this have any change of passing? >> reporter: house republicans say it does. two house committees, oversight and judiciary, passed this contempt referral out of their committees and left it open to leadership to bring to the house floor. there was a lot of pressure being applied on house republican leadership, including speaker mike johnson, to do that. there were some moderate republicans who were reluctant to vote for this. though it seems based on the conversations that leadership had with reporters that they have their ducks in a row and have the votes needed to hold the attorney general in contempt. what we're watching on the house floor now has nothing to do with that. what will come next will be a vote on the rule that has in part something to do with allowing them to get on to the vote on the contempt referral of the attorney general. look, even if it passes the house, which we have seen the house be able to do in the past when it comes to attorneys general, specifically i'm thinking about eric holder during the obama administration and then of course bill barr during the trump administration, having the doj prosecute the head of it is certainly something we've never seen before and do not expect to happen now. >> meanwhile, tomorrow's visit by trump will be the first on capitol hill since his conviction. what's he going to be doing there? >> reporter: meeting with republicans on the house side and senate side. we've asked several republicans what they want to hear from him. listen to what chip roy said. roy backed desantis during the primary. watch. >> i want to hear him giving direction about where we're headed, the agenda for the american people struggling with inflation, can't afford houses, can't afford food. go through their hard working days and lives. i think we'll hear the president talk about those issues and number one securing the border of the united states when this president won't. >> reporter: you should look at trump's visit as republicans falling in line, despite the legal troubles, despite the primary, despite any concerns they have about trump at the top of the ticket. the majority of republicans are with him. they're forcefully behind him. we'll see that tomorrow. it's only underscored by the fact that senator mitch mcconnell will be in that meeting. he's not a fan of the former president and told us they haven't spoken since after the 2020 that trump lost. the fact that mcconnell will be in that room says all you need to know about the state of the republican as it relates to their likely nominee. >> ali vitali on capitol hill, thank you. 24 hours after hunter biden's conviction the first family is looking ahead to another challenge. hunter faces nine counts of tax evasion and he's set to go on trial in september. he's awaiting a sentencing date for yesterday's verdict. the three counts carry up to 25 years in prison. after his son's conviction, president biden changed his plans and went to wilmington. we're hearing from the jurors who deliberated. one of them telling nbc news politics stayed out of the decision making. >> for us it wasn't politically motivated. politics never played in anything we said in the jury room. >> joining us now nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli and david marcus. mike, what's the reaction from the first family 24 hours after the conviction? >> reporter: it was exactly 24 hours ago we were on the air as we learned there was a verdict and the verdict came. we saw biden family members racing to the courthouse to be there with him. 24 hours later the family is taking stock of what's happened. the president is on his way to the g7 summit. it was important, i was told by sources close to the family, for him to spend that small amount of time yesterday on the tarmac here in delaware with his son. they had been in touch by phone and text messages, but they needed to see each other for that emotional support for one another before they headed on a plane to different directions. we know that the family, as brave as the faces they put on, for all the talk about rallying around and supporting one another, they know the road only maybe gets more difficult moving ahead. we know there's another trial in september on tax evasion charges. for all the difficult personal information that was put out during the course of this last trial, it may get more salacious in that september trial. we know the politics change significantly here as well. republicans had held their fire during the gun-related trial because of the addiction dynamic. so many americans know family members suffering from addiction. we saw the statements coming out from republicans talking about the biden crime family. they think this trial in september gives them entree to talk about finances and business relationships. this is a family that's going to support one another but knowing the road ahead gets more difficult. >> david, let's talk about that unusual nature of this case and what it may or may not have ties with the case coming up in september. >> sure. thanks, jose. the biden family has handled this with such class, the way they've handled the case. that's important because he would not have been prosecuted, hunter biden, if his last name was not biden. these cases, addicts in possession of a firearm are almost never prosecuted. the fact they went after this, especially after they had a plea deal. neither the prosecutors nor the defense wanted to have a trial in this case. they reached an agreement. the judge wouldn't take it. >> david, that plea deal and the nature of that plea deal was also pointed out by the judge extraordinarily unusual. >> it was because the charges themselves were unusual. the parties said these charges are typically not brought. we'll work out a diversion agreement, which happens rarely in federal court, but it does happen. less usual the bringing these charges and going to trial. you saw how the first family handled it, which was with class. >> david, hunter biden faces up to 25 years in prison. >> he does based on the maximum sentence. he's going to get probation. >> what does the judge have as far as options? >> the judge can go probation up to 25 years. 25 years isn't going to happen. i don't think jail is going to happen. i think it's a probationary case. there was no harm done to anybody. the gun was locked in a box. these charges are brought when somebody commits a robbery or to prohibit harm. nothing happened here. >> then it was put in a garbage bin, which thank god nothing happened. >> his wife put it in the garbage, not him. she got rid of it. i would be shocked if he got any jail time. >> let's talk about the nine counts of tax evasion set to go in september. >> that's a much more serious case. it will be interesting to see how it plays out, whether there's a deal struck or whether it goes to trial. there's big incentives for both sides to work that out. 97% of federal cases work out and don't go to trial. it will be interesting to see if we're ping ponging back between trump and biden trials. >> mike memoli and david marcus, thank you. one person dead after a man hijacks a bus in atlanta taking police on a high-speed chase. plus, today marks 250 days since the start of the israel/hamas war. could a cease-fire be in sight?

>> reporter: law enforcement responded to reports of gunfire of a bunch. the suspect held a gun to the driver's head and told the driver to drive. the driver took off for several miles, sometimes driving in the wrong direction of traffic. at several points police attempted to stop the bus, even throwing something in front of the bus to try to deflate the tires. that didn't work. as you can see from video, this was all captured by news choppers and broadcast on live tv. one of the passengers on the bus called her husband and told him what was happening. he told her to hang up the phone. he was worried the gunman would see she was on the phone and assume she was talking to 911. eventually law enforcement was able to stop the bus with a bearcat vehicle. when they approached, they discovered one of the passengers had in fact been thought. that person was rushed to a nearby hospital where they were pronounced dead. we don't have anymore information about the victim, but we learned that the suspect is 39-year-old joseph greer. he's a convicted felon. authorities say he wasn't legally allowed to have a handgun and had been arrested 19 previous times. today we're hearing from some of those passengers who were on the bus. as you can imagine, they were incredibly traumatized and reporters asked them would you ever ride on a bus again? they said certainly not this week, jose. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. more evidence that inflation is continuing to cool. the new consumer price index report which measures the prices of goods and services across the economy was unchanged last month. prices are still 3.3% higher than they were a year ago. gas prices fell more than 3.5%. prices for food away from home, used cars and trucks, shelter and medical care all rose last month. the report comes hours before the federal reserve is expected to announce what it plans to do with interest rates. up next, gaza's few remaining hospitals are in danger of closing. our next guest is a u.s. doctor recently trapped in gaza while volunteering there. we'll ask him about what he witnessed firsthand. vandals deface the homes of several jewish leaders who work at the brooklyn museum. police say similar incidents have been happening across the entire city. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. s to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast. you know, these kids grow so fast, cherish every little moment you get with them. tyler, he's ten, and little dayrl, he's 12. being a single dad, it is hard. really hard. i've been there since day one. i know how it is, you know, not to have nothing. i don't really get paid much. there's been times i've went hungry, made sure they ate. there ain't a thing i wouldn't do for 'em. millions of children are facing hunger. rising food prices are making it tougher to put food on the table. call or go online right now to join feeding america with your gift of just $19 a month, only $0.63 a day. together, thanks to a nationwide network of food banks, dedicated volunteers and the monthly support of people like you. we can fill plates with nutritious food for kids facing hunger this summer. at least now i know i got to, you know, help if i need it. one in five kids face hunger in america and food costs are rising. we are getting closer to the day when no one in america faces hunger. but we can't do it without you. call or go online now. visit helpfeedingamerica.org and give $19 a month. just $0.63 a day. 98% of donations go directly to help millions of children facing hunger from coast to coast and in your own community. and when you use your credit card, you'll receive this exclusive canvas grocery bag to show you're a part of a movement working together to ensure that everyone has the food and resources we all need to thrive. if you're hungry, you know, if they got it feed you. people just got to realize, you know, places like this do exist, they will help you. please call now or make your monthly donation at helpfeedingamerica.org. working together, we can end hunger in america. want to save on some of the biggest names in streaming on helpfeedingamerica.org. the network made for streaming?

>> reporter: well, it sounds as though the peace deal is closer to being realized than we saw in november. talking about this two days ago, it looked like these two sides were further apart than after. after the resignation of benny gantz who was considered a moderate, after those hostages being rescued in the gaza strip, it looked like these two sides were further apart than ever. now it looks like we're seeing some kind of agreement, some tenuous steps to what could lead to a cease-fire temporary and what could lead to a permanent cease-fire. that's what was in the document presented to the u.n. security council. with all the pressure brought to bare by the international community and the biden administration who have been pushing this for the last two weeks -- on may 31st biden said this is israel's plan. this is a plan they presented and they agreed to it. that language was already in the u.n. resolution passed by the security council. now, when we talk about whether or not hamas is going to agree, the -- the israelis have walked that back on may 31st. biden said they already agreed. we heard from netanyahu after that. he said he was walking back the idea that they exceeded the document. now we're taking for granted the israelis have agreed to this, but we haven't heard from them directly. blinken would know. he was party to those meetings. we haven't heard a resolute answer from the israelis they they accepted the deal. the two sides are closer to a deal and that's a great relief to the families of hostages protesting here. it's put enormous pressure on benjamin netanyahu and his allies. it's going to be enormous relief to the palestinians still in the gaza strip suffering and dying, now to the tune of 37,000 people that the gaza foreign ministry says has been killed. >> matt bradley, thank you. without a cease-fire deal in place, the humanitarian crisis in gaza continues to spiral. half the population of gaza are expected to face starvation and death by the middle of july, according to the u.n. joining us now is a surgeon who volunteered at a hospital in gaza last month. he just got back recently. doctor, thank you for your time. you just got back from gaza three weeks ago. what was your experience there? >> thank you very much for having me. my experience there, i mean, it was very intense. one thing that -- as we left, you know, the situation was dire in terms of, you know, medical supplies, medical equipment. the people had -- you know, were suffering from extensive mall nutrition. things have gotten worse since i left. >> who do you have contact with in gaza today? >> i'm in contact with some of the physicians that were there that i was working with and the staff that worked in the hospital. they're basically telling me about, you know, what their experience in terms of the casualties that have come the last few days and the intense bombings they're experiencing. we have brought in some anesthesia medications when we went as a team. that has all run out. they are basically saying they need anesthetics. they're doing surgery with no anesthesia. every time they have a team go in, we're carrying our own supplies. they're not getting anything besides that in terms of medications, antibiotics and without that open corridor, you know, not only is the casualties worse, but when they come in a lot of these patients that survive the initial assault, they end up dying over the next days or weeks because they don't have the proper, you know, resources to keep them -- keep them alive and save them. >> doctor, in your experience, many of the victims that you treated, were they men, women, children, all kinds, more one than the other? >> they were families. with families we were seeing really more than 50% were children. i would say 60 to 70% of the patients i took care of were somewhere between the ages of 5 and 12 or 13. i took care of a lot of children. they came in as families. you know, their parents came in. a lot of women came in. these were attacks that happened often at night while they were sleeping in their homes. their neighbors came in. these were primarily civilians that i took care of. you know, and we're making the assumption that every male could possibly not be a civilian. i didn't see any signs of, like, anyone being a combatant at all. everyone came in as families and, again, lots of children. lots of amputations, shredded children from blast injuries, lots of burns. much more burns than i'm familiar with seeing with these type of injuries also. these bombs that are being laid down have a high, like, you know, a high in sid air -- a lot of burns. >> senator tammy duckworth credited you with having saved her life 20 years ago. she was wounded in iraq. you have a lot of experience in trauma and warfare. how do you compare your experiences in iraq to the ones you had in gaza? >> it's really unfortunate because what i'm seeing is, you know, the injuries are a lot more intense. you know, i think the weapons that are being used with these giant bombs dropped on civilian structures are causing a lot more damage. i'm seeing a lot more children. we were working with a lot less resources. if senator duckworth went through this process in gaza right now or anyone else, i don't think they would have survived. there's just not the resources there to kind of do the proper care. and the children, they're small. they're fragile, suffering from malnutrition and they often don't survive these injuries. it's sad and unfortunate this war is being conducted not against combatants. it's really getting -- the people taking the brunt of this are regular people that just want to have a normal life and we've just been allowing this to happen as we watch and, you know, it's great that we're talking about a cease-fire right now. even if there is a cease-fire or isn't a cease-fire, we need to send in humanitarian aid. i mean, this is something that has nothing to do with whether or not there's fighting going on. if the cease-fire doesn't happen, doesn't mean we don't send medical supplies. doesn't mean we don't send doctors in. they need nurses. they need medicines. let's say a cease-fire come into play, i read these things there are 600 trucks going in. if one of these trucks is just food and they're not medications and they're have fall because they're being restricted to go in because of these so-called dual use items. right now a pair of scissors going into gaza is not allowed because it's considered dual use. most of these surgical supplies we need is considered dual use. many of the medications that are an the ticks are not allowed to go in. this has nothing to do with humanitarian aid. >> doctor, thank you very much for being with us. very much appreciate your time. >> thank you. up next, last night's primary results are setting up what's expected to be one of the most competitive senate races for the cycle. we'll tell you where, next. also, eight years ago today, 49 people were killed in a mass shooting at the pulse nightclub in orlando. it was the deadliest attack on the lgbtq community here in the u.s. we'll talk to one of the survivors next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. u diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. arthritis pain?

>> reporter: so the american weapons are starting to arrive. they are noticing a difference here in ukraine. in this city things have improved dramatically over the last two or three weeks. commanders here tell us and local officials say it's because the delayed weapons and funds that were held up by congress are starting to enter into the system and also because ukraine has been authorized to carry out strikes across the border in russia. they say that that has taken pressure off of ukraine because it has forced russia to defend its own territory, defend its own bases, radar stations. ukrainians will also tell you the amount of aid that they have received so far, while incredibly helpful, is not enough to allow them to significantly change the dynamic. they can defend themselves. they can take some of the pressure off of cities out here in the east like this one, but they don't have enough weapons, support, man power to launch a new offensive against russia and drive russia off of ukrainian territory. it's been extraordinarily helpful, but not something that's going to allow them to win the war according to a ukrainian understanding of what winning the war would mean. >> just wondering, richard, when we're looking at all the different things happening, russian asset that is the president wants to use to help ukraine, what are the steps that could make a difference from the ukrainian perspective? >> reporter: as they've been saying since the beginning, they talk about weapons, longer-range weapons, more effective weapons, they need aircraft. the game-changing weapon systems that would allow them to liberate their territory. ukrainians are deeply appreciative. they recognize without western support they wouldn't be here as an independent country. if they really want to win the war, they need to change the way the arms packages go. in terms of the g7, president biden is talking about a system that would allow ukraine to get about $50 billion from seized assets, not seized, but assets that have been frozen by european countries. russian assets that have been frozen. there's no agreement on how to do that. european countries are worried they could be liable if the system breaks down for paying russia back. they're also worried about the economic consequences of seizing or freezing russian assets that it could undermine people's confidence in the euro, undermine the world confidence in the u.s. dollar as reserve currencies. it's a proposal to use russian frozen assets to help ukraine, but still no consensus on that. >> richard engel in kharkiv, thank you. russia isn't slowing down anything. as a matter of fact, today a nuclear submarine and three russian warships entered havana harbor, 90 miles away from the united states. richard engel, thank you. now to the 2024 race for the white house. 24 hours after hunter biden's guilty verdict, it remains to be seen how his conviction could impact his father's re-election bid. does it put a tamper on trump's claims that he makes, without evidence, that the justice system is rigged against him and in biden's favor? joining us now stewart stevens and simone sanders townsend, co-host of "the weekend" and former spokesperson for vice president harris. thank you. stewart, in less than two weeks there's been two convictions. while hunter biden's and donald trump's cases are completely different. how do you see them shaping the race in november? >> well, i think the major fact is one of these guys is running for president and the other isn't. i think any idea that the justice system is being targeted by president biden seems -- i mean, how do you even say those words? how do they come out of your mouth when his son was just convicted? it points to the complete hypocrisy of republicans here, how they twist into knots to support donald trump. i think most americans, those accessible at all to the biden campaign, which is well over 70%, they believe they have a justice system that works. it's not perfect, but it works. it's not targeted by political figures. i think these claims make donald trump look weak and the republican party that i used to belong to look pathetic. >> "politico" writes, biden's son's plight could become a coat of armor for the biden campaign. how do they navigate this? >> look, folks should really look towards the president's statement in the wake of the conviction of his only surviving son, and the short of it is he says he's a father. he's a father. he's the president, but he's a father and he respects the outcome. you saw the president yesterday on that tarmac with his son there to comfort and support him. this is a family matter, not an election matter or political matter. some of our republican friends would love for this to connect to joe biden in same way, shape or form. at the end of the day, addiction is almost as american as baseball, as apple pie as some folks would say. i say that meaning there's a number of families who can identify with what the bidens have gone through. no family at the highest levels in american politics right now in the public eye, but absolutely folks all across the country. i don't know -- i don't think i would note it as a coat of armor, but it definitely reinforces that joe biden is a human, that the folks who are running for president are people just like you. you have one case where one of the folks running for president was convicted of 34 felony counts for essentially trying to hide what was going on to payments to someone that was not his wife, someone he allegedly had sex with because he thought it would affect the election. the other is a man whose son was convicted for things connected to his addiction. so i just -- the two are not the same and in the same boat. >> stewart, in nevada sam brown won the primary setting up a critical race against jackie rosen in november. here's some of what he says. >> tonight we continue to deliver hope the american dream is not dead and the american nightmare that joe biden started begins to end tonight. >> stewart, how significant will this race be? >> i think it's going to be very significant. if this is a nightmare with unemployment at record lows, the stock market at record highs, you know, it's just crazy stuff. i want to know -- here you have a former military man running for senate. how does he feel about john mccain? does he think that he was a loser? how does he feel about those who were wounded and those that lost their lives defending this country? that's who he's running with. that's who he's endorsing. that's who endorsed him. you can't do this like a cafeteria where you say i like this tax cut, but i don't like that he mocks the military. you get everything. that's what he's going to have to answer to. is donald trump telling the truth or is john kelly who he served under telling the truth? i want an answer to that question. >> stewart steven and simone sanders townsend, thank you. up next, remembering the 49 victims of the pulse nightclub shooting eight years ago today. our next guest survived the horror. we'll ask him what needs done about gun violence. and the director of the brooklyn jewish museum becomes a target of anti-semitism. we'll tell you what we're learning. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. u diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ♪ to see hundreds of miles of tracks. ♪ [vroom] [train horn] [buzz] clearing the way, [whoosh] so you arrive exactly where you belong. i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance so you arrive through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's?

>> reporter: good morning, jose. we know the nypd are investigating this at the home of ann pastrnak, the director of the brooklyn museum and other members of the museum's board. authorities tell us that this is actually part of the string of incidents. you see the red spray paint there, the banners unfurled. this has happened in virtually every borough and community in new york in recent days and weeks and is part of the broiling tensions over the war here at home. we're seeing city leaders condemning what happened here. the mayor released a statement this morning on twitter saying, this is not peaceful protest or free speech. this is a crime and it's overt, unacceptable anti-semitism, he said. jose, this is not the first time the brooklyn museum has been at the center of these controversies. days ago pro-palestinian protesters entered the museum, occupied it for a period of time. they led chants and marches and unfurled banners there as well. we don't know there's any connection between the people that protested that day on the property and what happened at these homes last night. what it does tell us, though, is these cultural institutions are on the debate and the frontline here at home. >> hate represented very clear fashion outside these people's homes and on top of their property. it's a horrible thing to see. antonia hylton, thank you. this morning flags are flying at half-staff at florida to mark eight years since the pulse nightclub shooting, the i. the club was holding a latin music celebration. joining us now is brandon wolf, press secretary for the human rights campaign and a survivor of the shooting. i thank you so much for being with us today. i know it's eight years. that seems in so many ways a long period of time, but in so many ways, brandon, it must feel like a second ago. how are you doing today? >> yeah, thanks so much for having me. you said it best. the calendar says eight years, but it feels like a lifetime and no time at all. on a day like today, i'm here. i try to remind myself that survival is a triumph. just to get personal for a moment, nine months ago i moved to d.c. and took a new job as national press secretary for the human rights campaign. the first person i wanted to share that news with is drew. but there's no one on the other end of the call anymore. he would are been 40 on june 1st. i would have loved to have celebrated that with him. but there's no one there to blow out the candles anymore. on june 12th, every year, i carry that grief, i carry the wakt of the true cost of gun violence. they are not just numbers. they are missing faces at birthday parties, empty seats at dinner tables. this day comes with big, complicated emotions for me. it feels like a time to recommit to the promise i made drew at his funeral service, to never stop fighting for a world that he would be proud of. i think that's a world all of us can be proud of. >> i know, drew was just one of the friends that you had there that night that were with you to enjoy an extraordinarily fun evening. we see drew and juan here. i put up a second ago the picture of the 49 people who lost their lives. there you see them. everybody had dreams, aspirations, hopes of a life going forward. i'm just wondering, when you go back in time to that night, you had two of your closest friends at the dance floor. you will never see them again. how do you honor them? how do you bring them and their dreams, their hopes, their aspirations back to make sure that those hopes, dreams and aspirations don't end with them? >> you know, put simply, i honor them not with hollow words or empty sympathies. i try to honor them with action every day. there was a moment a few weeks after the tragedy where we sat around and talked about what it would be like to keep the best parts of our friends alive. drew and juan were the best of us. they taught me to love myself exactly as i am. they challenged us to big -- to build a bigger social net. they brought folks together across the community. as we thought about what it would look like to honor them, to keep the best parts of them alive, to make sure they matter not simply because of how they died but because of how they lived, our charge would be clear. we have to tackle gun violence so make sure everyone can go to school, go to the grocery store, go to a nightclub without being afraid they would come face-to-face with a barrel of a gun. tackle hate against lgbtq+ people. reimagine a world where young people know they are valued and loved as they are and they can be their authentic selves. that's been the work of the last eight years for me. it's been the work of many others. when it comes time to honor them, honor them not just by telling stories, but with action. >> i want to thank you for being with us today. your memoir "a place for us" talks about finding the light in the darkest of places, in the darkest of hours. i think that that is such a life motif of so many of the things that make human beings souls of light. i want to thank you for that. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. it's an honor. coming up, eight suspected terrorists. eight suspected terrorists with possible ties to i.s.i.s. have been arrested in three major u.s. cities. new reporting on how they got here next.
