good morning, everyone. i'm poppy harlow. >> i'm jim sciutto. new developments this morning in the uvalde school massacre. cnn has obtained video and audio of a desperate police radio call including what appears to be the voice of a child, telling an officer they had been shot. it is not first time we heard a

call for help from inside the classroom while police waited outside. we're going to play that audio for you in a moment. plus, there are new details about a key figure in the response to that shooting, uvalde school district police chief pedro arredondo will not be sworn in to his newly elected city council seat today as originally planned. should he keep his job as police chief? >> critical question. also today, a bipartisan group of senators will meet on gun reform. president biden is optimistic that this time around he will get republican support. the president says, quote, rational republicans are ready for a deal. we will see. all of this as the uvalde community prepares to bury 10-year-old shooting victim amerie jo garza and maite rodriguez today. >> little bodies in little caskets. let's begin this morning with cnn correspondent nick valencia,

near robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. nick, cnn has new audio and video, desperate police radio calls, another warning from inside that school building as it all unfolded. tell us what we know. >> reporter: good morning, jim. it is chilling video and it shows just how chaotic things were as the shooting was unfolding. we obtained this video from an individual who did not want to be identified but says he began recording it on his facebook live and you could hear in this recording a clip of an adult being told by a child that they had been shot. now, according to this individual that was part of radio traffic of customs and border protection, unclear why that would be on the radio traffic between the agents, but the individual who recorded the video said as soon as agents realize d he could overhear, thy turned down that audio. this could be very difficult for some of our viewers to watch. >> are you injured?

>> i got shot. >> where? where? >> a kid got shot? >> reporter: it gives us unsight as to what was happening as that shooting was unfolding. it is unclear at what point during the shooting that video was recorded. >> this morning we hear from also a first responder whose wife and child were inside of the school during this shooting. what did he say? >> reporter: yeah, he spoke exclusively to nbc news and tells nbc he was at the school earlier that day to attend his daughter's second grade awards ceremony. he also says that his wife is a fourth grade teacher there, he said he was at a nearby barbershop when he rushes getget i -- had he remembers getting a text, he doesn't know if he got the text or if his barber got the text first. >> my barber heard shots, he

thought he heard shots. he was coming to the parking lot, he said did you hear it? i said i didn't hear anything. i went inside the barbershop, sat down, i can't recall if he received the text first or i received it, there was an active shooter, active shooter, help, i love you, from my wife. >> what did you do next? >> i looked for a gun. my barber said he had a gun. both of us raced over to the school and met up there. >> reporter: he went on to tell nbc that at one point he was actually outside the classroom where the gunman was barricaded and thought about going inside, but that he didn't have his normal tactical gear on him and thought better of the decision to enter that classroom. this all is coming out as we prepare in this community to bury some of the smallest victims. the mayor releasing a statement to cnn saying that he decided to postpone a city council swearing in ceremony because he believed today should focus on the families and those who lost

loved ones. jim, poppy? >> more on that right now, nick valencia, thank you very much for your reporting. >> you bet. uvalde school district police chief pedro arredondo will not be sworn in to his newly elected city council seat. the move comes as the city canceled the special meeting that was set to take place today. in a statement obtained by cnn affiliate kfat, the uvalde mayor says, quote, our focus tuesday is on our families who lost loved ones, the special city council meeting will not take place as scheduled. arredondo has been under intense scrutiny obviously since the shooting after the texas department of public safety confirmed that the uvalde school district police chief was the official who made the decision not to have the classroom breached, where the gunman killed 21 people last week. we should note that texas dps did not identify him by name at that time. pedro arredondo also known as pete was elected to the council earlier this month, according to

the school district he has nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, board of trustees aproved him to lead the uvalde school district police in 2020, jim. >> joining me to discuss is uvalde county commissioner ronald garza. thank you for taking the time this morning. >> good morning, jim. thank you for having me on your network. >> so you heard us there with the update that there will be no swearing in today for arredondo. should he be sworn in at all to the city council given events at the school? >> well, he was elected to that position. personally i think he should be sworn in. i think it was postponed just as a measure of respect for the funeral services that will be taking place. that's my understanding. >> okay. how about his job as police chief? should he remain in that position? this was an enorm ous test of his leadership and resolve, and there are 19 schoolchildren and 2 teachers who lost their lives.

>> yeah, well, that's a matter -- an issue that the school district will have to undertake. as a county commissioner, we don't oversee that, so -- but i'm confident the school district and mr. arredondo will come together and do what is right for the community of uvalde. >> what do you think is right for the community? >> well, i think -- i think what is right is that, you know, there is an investigation being undertaken. i think there will be an independent investigation. i hear the department of justice is also going to be investigating what took place in our community. and i welcome that. i think we owe it to the community, to the parents especially, they have questions and they need answers. >> yeah. i want to talk in a moment about how arredondo became in charge of the scene there given the number of agencies, but before i get to that, you likely heard

this audio that appears to be a child inside that school, as this was unfolding, who had been shot, it is not as you know the first call that we have a record of. we have multiple 911 calls that came from children inside that classroom, as this was under way, do we know if the information about these calls got to the commander or any other responding police on the scene while this was unfolding? because they made a decision not to go in, based it seemed on the assumption that all the children were dead, but there is information that showed some people knew children were alive. do we know if that information was getting to the commander on the scene? >> you know, i have no knowledge of that. i'm kind of like a lot of people here, you know, all this is coming to light now. you know, the children are taught, you know, to make that call, that 911 call, you know, and they did.

and they did. they made their calls. why law enforcement did not take action is beyond me. >> either it is bad information sharing or it is further negligence to have knowledge from inside. let me ask you about arredondo. he is the school district police commander, quite a small police force for that integrated school district. i believe, you know, single digits, why was he in charge, given the number of agencies and all the resources that were responding? >> you know, i think it came down to jurisdiction, you know. it was something that took place, that took place at a school campus, robb elementary. and i think he was the man in charge. and, you know, it just came down to jurisdiction. >> you knew the gunman's grandmother who was, of course,

the first victim of this, as she was shot before he went on to the school. there reports she may never speak again, but her life threatening condition is improving. do you have any update on her status at this point? >> i'm just like a lot of people here, i heard that she is doing well. i heard she's going to survive. and i'm very glad to hear that. you know, the family comes up sometimes of the shooter and, you know, i've known the family for many years. they're a good family. they value faith. they value church. and this should not be a reflection -- this one act -- this senseless act of violence should not be a reflection on the family. >> ronald garza, we know you and the community are going through so much. thank you for taking the time to join us this morning. >> thank you, jim. now to a cnn exclusive, supreme court officials are intensifying their search for the person who leaked the draft

opinion from justice alito. that if it holds would overturn roe v. wade. according to three sources, officials are taking steps to require law clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits. this is really unprecedented. the exclusive reporting comes to us from our cnn legal analyst and supreme court biographer joan biskupic. this say huge deal and what you're learning, i understand, is that some law clerks at this point, you know, they're very young, by the way, are beginning exploring hiring outside counsel. >> that's right, poppy. this is obviously something that the supreme court is taking very seriously, not just the breach of about a month ago, but also any further leaks that the chief justice wants to make sure don't occur. so they're taking this very aggressive step and it is already a tense time behind the scenes because they're resolving this abortion case, but also a gun rights case, religion cases

so it comes at a time when you already have heightened tensions and the clerks are wondering, you know what do they do with the requests for affidavits and potential very extensive cell phone information. and one lawyer, an appellate lawyer with experience in government investigations, told me about the possibility of law clerks turning to outside counsel, and he said, you know, that's what's similarly situated employees would do for other government organizations, and that it would be hypocritical for the supreme court itself to somehow interfere with lawyers -- with law clerks going outside to get some advice from counsel. now, it is a delicate situation, poppy, because, you know, these clerks already feel like they're under a microscope and all this scrutiny and if they turn outside for a lawyer, just so they, you know, just to know what their rights are here, they don't want to draw much more suspicion, at this very tense

time behind the scenes. >> it would be notable for the court to not let people seek legal counsel on a legal issue like this. bigger picture here, beyond the leak investigation, you have a potential supreme court decision that is going to change the lives of millions of women in this country. what do we know about negotiations on the mississippi abortion case, and when frankly we're going to see the final opinion? >> that's right, jim. it is not just women, but it could have potential for privacy rights in many other areas. there is a rule at the supreme court that dictates that all drafts need to be sent around by june 1st. the finished draft. the one that had been leaked was dated february 10th. justice alito has been doing much more work on it, probably fielding requests from colleagues about changes, and i anticipate that there -- there were efforts behind the scenes, different kind of compromise. as of tomorrow, his colleagues would have seen his final version and then it ain't over until it's over. there is probably still many

more negotiations and i expect to see this opinion likely by the end of june, if not early july, given how tense things are and how hard it has been for them to actually focus on these cases. >> by the way, as you mentioned, given the attention on uvalde, there is also a gun -- notable gun decision that may come out during that time frame too. good to have you on. >> thank you. thank you. still ahead, bipartisan talks on gun reform start today. will this time be different? will they compromise? where is the common ground? we'll have those details ahead. president biden lays out his plan to fight inflation ahead of a meeting this afternoon with fed chairman jerome powell. we'll speak with the deputy treasury secretary next. later, cnn speaks to commuters forced to cut their family budgets as gas prices hit ten-year highs. some people say they will find a new job if they're forced to drive into the office. hitting the road, not all 5g networks are created equal. t-mobile covers more highway miles with 5g than verizon.

. president biden will meet with federal reserve chairman jerome powell at the white house. that happens this afternoon. the president just laid out his plans to tackle inflation in a new op-ed in "the wall street journal." he writes, we now have a chance to build on a historic recovery with an economy that works for working families. the most important thing we can do now to transition from rapid recovery to stable steady growth is to bring down inflation. joining me now to talk a lot bin fla about inflation -- in reading the op-ed by the president and considering this moment when eight in ten americans say the government is not doing enough to tackle inflation, all of the proposals that are laid out are

long-term. they would take at a minimum a few years from fixing broken supply chains and improving infrastructure, building a million units of additional housing, dealing with the upcharges from these ocean freight companies, is there anything the white house is going to do to tackle it right now? >> so, poppy, i think the president demonstrated he understands the american people's biggest challenge at the moment is high prices. and we actually have taken immediate action. you look at the historic release from the strategic petroleum reserve, putting more oil on the market to help reduce prices, that was immediate action. look what we have done in terms of supply chains. look at the port of los angeles, for example where the president worked for the private sector to get it open 24 hours a day to make sure you dealt with some of those challenges. that was immediate action. so the president's focus on taking immediate steps to reduce inflation, but also taking long-term steps as well, meeting with the fed chair today to talk

about both of those things. >> you mentioned the spr release, the biggest release ever of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. it didn't bring down prices. gas prices are 39 cents higher today than they were then. so when you look at all of the families struggling, really with this inflation from their food to gas and beyond, when can you tell them inflation will get back to a normal healthy level? are we talking about 2023? 2024? later? >> so, poppy, i'm not going to make predictions, but what i am going to say is what the president said, he understands that high prices are a challenge for people. high gas prices make it hard to pay for things because he's felt it as someone who was growing up in a household where they dealt with high food costs and gas costs. and what the president is saying is he's going to do everything he can to make sure we bring down the cost of goods working with the fed. as he said in his op-ed, the fed has primary responsibility here

and is making clear he's going to give the fed the room that they need to take action. but in addition to what we have done with the petroleum reserve, he's calling on energy producers to produce more energy to make sure we bring down prices and he's also created more than 9,000 permits in the united states to ensure that more energy can be created in the united states as well. and he's committed to doing everything we can to bring down costs as quickly as possible. >> so there is a limited amount that the fed can do, right? there is rates, but beyond that there is only so much and really can't do anything to deal with energy prices. one thing the white house could do is act on what the president said three weeks ago, when he said that his team, you guys, are considering whether the u.s. should lift the trump era tariffs. given how high inflation is now, is that going to happen in the near term? what is the plan? >> i think it is important to step back and realize inflation is not just something that say challenge here in the united states. it is a global challenge. and we come at this challenge in the united states from a position of strength because our

economy has been growing faster and stronger than any other economy in the developed world. and as we transition to more sustainable growth, it is going to be important for us to make decisions that allow that sustainable growth to continue. one of the things that we are thinking through is how do we create a level playing field for american firms? and that's why these tariffs have been put in place with regard to china, and we're considering how we use tariffs as a tool to do just that and ultimately our decision with regard to what we do with tariffs will be around do we think they have an impact in leveling a playing field so the american firms and workers are put in a better position to be able to sell american goods around the world going forward. >> respectfully, mr. deputy secretary, that strength is not economic strength that most american families are feeling right now. every poll tells us that. you talk to folks at the grocery store, they tell you that. acting on these trump era tariffs on china would provide some relief. why not make that decision now? >> so, poppy, we're actively

considering what we do with regard to those tariffs. the important thing for every american to know is that the president is committed to doing everything we can to bring down costs in a sustainable way. one of the challenges we face for too long is the fact that because of china's unfair practices, american jobs have been lost, and our companies have been unable to compete. we have to make sure we address the short-term challenges like inflation, but the long-term challenges that we face as well. >> so over and over again, over the last 1 1/2 years that the white house and the president and treasury officials, fed officials downplayed the inflation risk, the president in july of 2021 said this is expected to be temporary, talking about inflation, jerome powell, i don't expect, will be in a situation where inflation rises to troublesome levels. janet yellen in march of '21, risk of inflation, the risk is small. larry summers, former treasury secretary, has been worning

ab about this for a long time, we're taking very substantial risks on the inflation side, that's a year ago. should more people in the biden administration have been listening to larry summers? >> so, poppy, what i can tell you is that the president and secretary yellen and the entire administration, the focus is on lowering costs today. no one could have predicted the war that russia launched on ukraine and the impact that's having on prices today from global energy to food prices. the supply chain shock created by covid isn't only something that happened here in the united states. but it has happened around the world. and the president in his op-ed laid out three things we're going to do to address it. give the fed the room it needs to tate actions it needs to, reducing energy from the petroleum reserve to bring down costs of oil, three, bring down our debts and deficits overtime in order to ensure that america both has the resources to pay for the things that we need, but also to help deal with the high costs in our economy. >> i hear you. we just talked about the spr

release. it didn't bring prices down. now the fact that you got eu sanctions and eu cutbacks from russian oil imports that will likely drive oil prices even higher, i guess i'm trying to ask is there a lesson learned here? should the -- been more open to critics like larry summers? >> the most important lesson we learned here is we have to do exactly what we have done since the beginning of the administration, which is everything we can to deal with the challenges the american people face. think about where we started. when the president came into office, 20 million americans were unemployment. today we have historic job growth. we didn't have many americans who were vaccinated and today millions of americans are vaccinated. so what the president is going to do going forward, is use that same resolve and deal with -- to deal win flation. a with inflation. we're going to do everything in the administration we can and give the room -- the fed the room it needs to make sure that brings down inflation over time. >> all americans appreciate the

effort and hope relief comes soon. thank you very much, mr. deputy secretary. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you for having me, poppy. still ahead, president biden says he sees new signs of hope in the battle over gun control. and not everyone on the hill does, sadly. are democrats and republicans ready to compromise for real? we're going to speak to a leader in the catholic church in texas, who says it is time to take action. ggest project yet. worth is giving the people who build it a solid foundation. wealth is shuttingng down the office for mike's retirement party. woworth is giving the employee who spent half his life with you, the party of a lifetime. ♪ ♪ wealth is watching your business grow. worth is watching your employees grow with it. ♪ ♪ miss allen over there isn't checking lesson plans. she's getting graded

gun reform. >> president biden was in uvalde, texas, he told grieving families something would be done to address gun violence in this country. he said he's optimistic that lawmakers will this time make it happen. >> the second amendment is never absolute. i think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it. >> lauren fox joins us from capitol hill. lauren, good morning. what are you hearing? should he be hopeful? >> reporter: well, this meeting today is going to be significant, poppy, in part because it is occurring when lawmakers are not even in washington. they view this issue as so important, so imminent, they need to take action now. so the zoom call taking place today among a bipartisan group of senators and senator john cornyn, a republican from texas, addressed his plans for this call yesterday, when he was back in the states saying that his hope is that members will lean

toward the middle. and he said he plans to do the same to find some kind of resolution on something like an expanded background check bill, or legislation to give greater access to mental healthcare in this country. now, cornyn did address that there may be other steps that other states want to take that go beyond those measures. he said that is going to be action that states should be addressing in their own legislatures with their own governors, what would work in one state like new jersey or new york is going to be very different than what lawmakers in texas might be willing to accept. but obviously this is an important first step, the hope is that lawmakers could find some middle ground before they get back to washington next week so they could move much more quickly when they return. meanwhile, in the house of representatives, democrats are not pausing, taking immediate action. the house judiciary committee announcing that they will hold an emergency hearing to vote and advance gun legislation on a series of items. one of them raising the age at

which you can purchase a gun like an ar-15 from 18 to 21 nationally. there is also legislation to bar people from buying high capacity magazines as well as legislation to encourage people to use safe storage practices in their homes for the firearms that they already have. so, a series of bills that the house judiciary committee is going to be marking up. whether those bills would pass in the senate is a very, very high bar. but it is important that both chambers taking their own actions hoping to get something, anything across the finish line. >> it is for show, unless they get votes in the senate and they have done this before on a whole host of things. we'll see where it goes. lauren fox on the hill, thank you. it has been a week, one week since the gunman stormed into robb elementary school. today there will be two funerals for victims amerie jo garza, little girl, and mit rodriguez, little girl, both 10 years old.

21 crosses, one for each of the 19 children, 2 teachers, now stand outside the sacred heart catholic church. there will be funerals for 12 of the victims at that church. each cross and, boy, have we seen this before, in so many places, around the country, will be a reminder of lives lost a week ago today. >> all those kids that have crosses there, those are all my friends. they all died. i just feel really bad because my friend, you know, it broke my heart into a million pieces. >> those are all my friends, she said. joining me is archbishop gustavo garcia sierra, head of the diocese of san antonio, which uvalde is part. we appreciate you coming on this morning. >> thank you. >> so, i can see it in your face, we were talking in the break, you had a lot of

difficult conversations and you have a difficult, almost impossible message i imagine for the families of the children and others who are grieving right now. i'm curious what do you say to them? >> well, i don't say much. but i show through gestures, expressions of care, and in some way to convey that it is a community and many people throughout the world who are thinking of them and they are suffering. it is how to be one, and being a spiritual leader is at a level of the soul, level of the heart, and that is different ways how to get there. but they are not common ways. it is not in speeches.

it is love, tenderness, compassion. as you're saying about the many funerals that we take place in sacred heart church, we need to deal with each one of them in a different way because each family is different. each child is unique. and so we will try to do the best we can. and then to assure them with gestures again that we will be for them in the long run is not just this moment. and the means of communication, some people there concern, afraid to turn on the tv, social media, this is a time in which people they need connected. connected and here, even if it hurts, even if your family member hurts, it is a reality in our country, we are in decadence

because we have been fostering a culture of death to make the arms sacred. and then with the same arms to kill people. i mean, there is no logic to it. no logic to it. >> no, there isn't. >> is it consistent -- >> to be pro-life in terms of abortion, but also pro-gun and against most or all gun regulations? as you discussed this, as a matter of the church? >> well, that works for politicians and politics. people, they say they are pro-life, and is so narrow their vision. to be pro-life and what we call in the catholic church respect life has to be consistent, which

means from the womb, conception, to natural death, and all in between. and that means children, the youth, sick, drug addicts, married people, homeless, the people in death row, we have to be consistent. and for the most part politicians are not consistent. and they use the pro-life to promote their base. and it is a very narrow picture. to take care of the baby in the womb, and to kill it when he's 9 years old, what is the logic there? it is hard to comprehend for everybody. it is a fact. it is happening. and the person who doesn't have money, the person who has a different color of his skin, the person, you know, i met with

children 9 to 11 years old in one school in that region. it is also it happens at school called sacred heart too, not far from uvalde. i need to learn from them and i was asking them, what was in their hearts. and there were about 50 comments. one of them, one kid said very clearly, he said we have to pray also for the killer. we have to pray for the family of the killer, somebody else said, because they must be hurting a lot too. and another girl, the last one who spoke, she was hesitant. and finally a teacher, a mother said, this girl wants to talk.

sure. she said, i know how that feels because i had been in the middle of shootings. my goodness. how we're going to be pro-life, respect life if we just see with a very short vision what life is. life, human life has not been placed in the forefront of our conversations. dignity of everyone, and we don't want to touch reality. and the reality needs to speak to us in order to respond appropriately. >> well, i can see your own pain and frustration etched in your face and certainly what you must have heard from those children as well. archbishop gustavo garcia

sierra, thank you for sharing your emotions here. >> we pray. >> we hope to have you back. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back.

at it from a standpoint of, can i afford to take the new opportunity, or can i afford to stay if required to go back to the office. but some don't have easy options. >> it's very frustrating, but there's nothing i can do about it. >> reporter: scott's dad is eight years from his pension as a railway engineer. >> to throw it away, it is throwing away a lot. >> reporter: there is no plan to change direction, even as they pump the brakes on long-term plans. >> our picture kind of altered. we might not be retiring in eight years. >> reporter: surveys show a lot of people are cutting down on summer travel because of gas prices, but the impact on employees returning to work isn't totally clear yet. there was a survey back in april that found only about 40% of workers said gas prices are impacting their decision to go to the office. but with the average household expected to pay hundreds of dollars more on gas this year, experts are telling me it is going to become a bigger and bigger factor for employees
