those two people, locals, farmers were killed. but there are investigators on the scene literally trying to piece together what happened to find out what kind of missile or rocket this was that caused these explosions and who's responsible for it, who could have fired it. because obviously the context of this explosion is that it took place during a ferocious barrage just across the border of russian cruise missiles on various targets, up to a hundred missiles being fired across ukraine. there are also lots of ukrainian antiaircraft fire in response to try and incapacitate some of
4:06 pm
those missiles. there are a couple of different possibilities that are on the table. again, investigators are on the scene to try and literally piece together the missile to find out its origin. also conversations taking place tonight not just between the polish and the u.s. presidents but the polish and the united cajun navy search and rescue and the ukrainian president as well, volodymyr zelenskyy who is insisting that these are russian rockets. the russians, for their part, are categorically denying it. the kremlin telling me tonight they've got no information at all on any kind of missile strike on polish soil. the russian defense ministry putting out a statement earlier saying that it's a provocation to suggest this was a russian rocket. but as we know from the polls, two people are dead, it's a big shot to this local small close-knit community here on the border between poland and ukraine. and people are terrified here tonight, erin, about what could
4:07 pm
come next. >> all right, thank you very much, matthew chance there and actually seeing what is happening. i should note, of course, that as the polish foreign ministry says they have confirmed that the missile was russian-made, president biden has just tweeted out a picture of himself speaking on the phone with the polish president, duda, you see the secretary of state antony blinken. president biden is in the background. jake sullivan there. and he says this is him speaking with the polish president, a call that happened in the wee hours of the morning in bali where president biden is, and just before midnight in warsaw where the polish president is tonight. phil mattingly is traveling with president biden. what can you tell us? >> reporter: it was a late night to begin with. white house national security team here in bali keeping a close eye on the dozens of missile strikes even before news of what happened in poland actually got to them.
4:08 pm
when that news arrived, jake sullivan with the president and the secretary of state was briefed on that information, then spoke to his counterpart in poland, and quickly whereafter briefed the president directly. the president spoke directly by phone with polish president andrzej duda. in that phone call, the president received a briefing on the investigation up to that point from president duda. he promised the u.s. would give its full support and assistance for any further investigation and also, as you noted, erin, reiterated the ironclad commitment to nato as it currently stands. it's something that he did in march where he said very unequivocally that article v was an unbreakable bond with nato. and jens stoltenberg said there will be an emergency meeting, and the ambassador is there to figure out the next steps. one thing we don't have any
4:09 pm
definitive conclusion from the u.s. side is what exactly happened here. but they understand how significant this moment could be, and is, to some degree. however, it is likely you saw in that photo the president's national security team is here. antony blinken, the secretary of state, the president both have events this will. we'll see what they have to say. the president is supposed to head back to d.c. in just about four or five hours. if he speaks, we'll have to speak before then. we'll see how this schedule plays out over the course of the next couple hours. >> please check in with us as you see more if you see him, hear him. obviously this is a crucial moment. thank you very much phil mattingly. "outfront" now the democratic congressman jim himes. he just led a congressional delegation to ukraine. and ben hodges, the former commanding general for the u.s. army europe joining me from romania, bordering ukraine. thank you both very much.
4:10 pm
so, congressman, let me start with you. the context we have is that the polish foreign ministry is saying that the missile was russian-made. ukraine also uses russian-made missiles, but there were a hundred missiles fired today. that's the context. and a missile hits four miles into nato territory. from your briefings, what have you learned about what happened? >> well, erin, we don't yet know. but we will know. and this is, for reasons that we can talk about and reasons that we can't talk about, not going to be terribly hard to figure out what the source of the missile was. there are a lot of missiles flying around in the region. but what i can tell you is that through a variety of ways. >> we will soon know the facts of what happened. and at that point forever including by the way for the russians to be clear and honest about what happens.
4:11 pm
because if this turns out to be the result of a russian missile launch, it'll matter whether it was advertent. but if it was inadvertent, that is very different than if it was a provocation. now we will be in a world worried where we are contemplating how to respond to that provocation. russia cannot be allowed to escalate without a response from nato. and that'll be the next step of thinking. >> so, general hodges, again, poland saying this was a russian-made missile, and the context is that across ukraine, there were about a hundred missiles fired today by russia across all of ukraine. and that context is obviously crucial. do you think that the missile that landed in poland, that hit in poland and killed two people came from russia? >> erin, i think that i'm taking
4:12 pm
my lead from the polish government. they have been so professional and measured. and they are the ones that obviously are the victim here. the fact that they have responded like this i think says something. there's no doubt that this was a russian missile. but was it intended for poland? that's the question. what i would imagine is more likely is that this is the result of a successful ukrainian intercept of the missile. and so just the physics would've taken it further into poland. the real question is not only why is russia continuing to go after civilian targets in ukraine. why would they be so reckless as to go after one that is so close to the polish border, an e.u. country, a nato country. this is why i think it's reckless when we talk about we should negotiate with moscow because of things like this. >> and, congressman, that actually is the question here. you say there's a difference
4:13 pm
between inadvertent and purposeful. and i understand that. but what the general is pointing out is if you're firing a hundred missiles across ukraine, and if this missile was one of them and it was because of being reckless and not caring where a border was, essentially, what does that mean, what does that have nato do? >> well, it's all degrees of irresponsible and evil. i mean, when putin took the decision to invade a peaceful neighbor, he gave up any claim to moral high ground. but it is worth noting that -- and of course it's irresponsible to be firing any missiles anywhere near a nato country. but, again, i have some confidence that we'll be able to find out over time exactly where this missile originated and even if the russians don't own up to it, which i don't imagine that they will, will be able to develop some sense of whether this was a deliberate provocation, which i think would require a different response than where this, as the general said, simply a matter of physics
4:14 pm
associated with their trying to strike a ukrainian target. it matters whether the kremlin right now is thinking that they should escalate through a deliberate attack on a nato member or whether this was just an irresponsible military operation that went badly. >> which i totally understand. of course there is the context of, well, gosh, what if it had hit the community center and killed 50 people and it was unadvertent, all of a sudden things change. it is difficult to fully understand where all the lines are. general, the context here, of course, is this reporting of the 101st airborne being the first time deployed in 80 years, an increase in u.s./nato readiness what, does nato do here if they do confirm that this missile came from russia? >> well, of course i think the president has been very clear about defending every inch of allied territory. and no doubt we will do that if
4:15 pm
there is an attack of some sort. those responses, there will be a wide range of potential responses. we've got a lot of capability that's on the ground here. this is why i just think it is so unlikely that russia -- i mean, if they were going to attack something in poland, they would have gone after perhaps, you know, where all the equipment is going, where they would get -- i mean, where it would be worthwhile. this makes no sense. but i think this will cause the white house to reconsider what i think is the wrong policy about not providing the 300-kilometer range that could be used against russian bases in crimea, from which many of these missiles are being launched. >> and congressman, do you support providing those longer-range capabilities that ukraine has asked for, that the general is saying would be the right -- >> i absolutely do. and i supported it before today's event. again, we need to get the facts about what really happened. but, yes, the ukrainians have been able to completely reverse
4:16 pm
the course of the war through the provision by the west of the himars weaponry. that was a successful thing that the west did to provide those. we should keep that up. and obviously if this turns out in fact to be a russian missile that inadvertent or advertent, they are going to need to learn a lesson. one of the wonderful ways to teach them that lesson would be to provide those attackums to give the ukrainians more military capability. >> thank you both so very much. i appreciate your perspective as this story develops literally during our conversation. thank you. and next we talk about a hundred missiles today. ukraine under heavy bombardment from russia. the ukrainian officials are saying that it was a hundred missiles fired at ukraine so far today by russia. we are live on the ground. plus, donald trump's announcement about an expected run for president in 2024 is coming very shortly tonight. new details about what's happening behind the scenes in these final and furious moments about his address at mar-a-lago. and ron desantis tonight also in florida and not backing

4:20 pm
breaking news. we are following the breaking news in poland as the polish government says a missile that was likely made in russia hit poland and killed two people. poland tonight increasing its military readiness as ukraine has been under mass attack today, explosions reported in
4:21 pm
kyiv, kharkiv, and other key cities. ukrainian officials saying about a hundred missiles were fired at ukraine in the past 24 hours with more expected. the missile attacks targeting critical energy infrastructure, residential areas far from the front lines also hit by the barrage. the strikes just days after putin suffered a major battlefield setback after ukrainian troops recovered kherson. all of the context of what we're talking about in poland and nato tonight comes as where you are was under mass missile attack throughout the day. what are you seeing on the ground? >> reporter: well, we've had periodically very loud sirens here. we've heard detonations either of outgoing antiaircraft missiles or of incoming missiles. this is a very long ribbon-shaped city some 50 miles long, i understand. so, not all of the impacts are
4:22 pm
very visible or audible to us in a close sense. but across the country, it has been perhaps the heaviest level of bombardment particularly by these cruise missiles, long-range precision guided missiles fired by russia, possibly that has been seen throughout this war, certainly since the last round of major bombardments back in the beginning of october. some 10 million people have been rendered without electricity as a result of the bombardment, of course as urgent repairs are going on. those bombardments have come on top of the, back in october, targeting critical national infrastructure, which also therefore affects water distribution, heat. of course an attempt by russia to try to break the civilian back of the country so that the military effort starts to fall apart. and that is because the russians have recently lost very
4:23 pm
significant kherson city, which was the only regional capital that they captured. it also controls the headwaters of the water supply, the freshwater supply into the illegally annexed crimea. so it's been a very widespread bombardment that in kyiv killed two people when residential buildings were hit. and no doubt really in the mind of the president here that these were russian missiles fired into poland. >> so let me ask you that. what is the ukrainian government saying about the missile that landed in poland, hitting there in that small village, killing two? >> reporter: president zelenskyy said there were two missiles and they were russian and that they were fired into poland. he may have to slightly adjust that based on any future intelligence. he also said that this was kind of inevitable, it is something that the region has been worried about the overspill from the conflict. he suggested it is a deliberate
4:24 pm
terrorist act. excuse me. but he also points out that moldovyr has been affected because their electrical supply has been affected also seeing a knock-on effect with widespread power cuts there. >> thank you very much, sam. and be well. and, next, donald trump expected to announce he's running for president just hours from now. we are live in mar-a-lago with new details on tonight's announcement, the behind the scenes his final preparations here as the florida governor ron desantis asked to respond to trump's attack on him. hear his answer, and just imagine what this means for a presidential run of his own.

4:29 pm
into, widespread predictions of a red wave that failed to happen. "outfront" now, chief washington correspondent for abc news who has interviewed trump several times and is the author of "betrayal: the final act of the trump show" out today in paperback. thanks to both of you. jonathan, you'll there at mar-a-lago tonight, and obviously he's in these final preparations for this speech that he thought was going to be coming out to thunder his support and applause around the country on the back of a red wave. what can you tell us about what went this decision and his announcement tonight? >> it's striking, erin, that donald trump was -- had some of his most longtime advisers, allies practically pleading with him to put off this announcement, even as recently as today one of his most high-profile supporters was trying to tell him this is not the time, don't come out and do
4:30 pm
this after the terrible midterm losses, and before the election in georgia, the special election in georgia. but he looked his advisers in the eye and said i am doing this. why he's doing it, it's a mystery. you can't really see the political advantage except to get out in front of any other potential candidate, or to get out in front of any potential indictment. remember, this comes as he is facing serious criminal investigations, obviously in new york at the justice department both for january 6th and for the classified documents he took out in the white house, and the case in georgia. so, it's hard to say why, but he's doing it. >> but he's doing it. it's in there, from your reporting, it is incredible to think about it. eric erickson is coming into the conversation now as well, conservative radio host of the eric erickson show.
4:31 pm
what john is saying is everybody around him tried to make him not do this as we're looking at the room everyone gathering, they said don't do it. and it comes on the heels of the candidates trump back did not do well in the election. 13 lost, and one is heading for a runoff, that's the georgia senate race where you are. so, eric, what happens here? he is just ignoring all of this. >> well, first of all, i apologize, the police have blocked off the area for some reason so i couldn't get in. listen, every republican i know is deeply frustrated by the president and what he's doing. i really do think the reason he's doing this is because the billionaire griffin decided to throw his weight around desantis after so many of the major voters of the party said they were going to sit it out.
4:32 pm
he's trying to get out there, the problem is this is trump panicking. and when he panics, it tebds not to work out for him, he's going to dig himself a hole if walker loses in georgia, as a lot of republicans think he might, the club for growth is showing the base of the party has moved on from trump already. >> all right, okay, you're making this point about the base, which is significant because the polling we have sort of during the midterms does not reflect these horrible losses. trump's favorability rating with republicans was almost 80% during it. ashley, you look at this as a democrat, as someone who worked for biden on his last campaign. should democrats and republicans, frankly, be careful to not underestimate trump again? >> absolutely. donald trump is not going anywhere. and i'm not saying that in a
4:33 pm
joking way because i'm a democrat, i don't think donald trump is good for our country. i didn't think he was good for our country in 2016, 2020, and definitely not in 2024. and in this moment, i can put politic as side and say he shouldn't run, and i hope that republicans step up and say i don't agree with republicans on most policy issues, but i think about 70% of republicans and myself can agree that donald trump should not be the president and should not be at the top of the gop ticket. but, you know, it's interesting, he's like why is donald trump doing this? because donald trump is about donald trump. he does not care about anyone else other than himself. he doesn't care about his voters. he actually doesn't even care about this country. he cares about himself, his name and his brand. and that's why he's going to make this announcement tonight. and it's just a matter of who will stand up against him. >> you know, and to that point, obviously you've got the ron desantis speaking on the same
4:34 pm
day at the republican governors' association. but what is your reporting, jonathan, on where we are in terms of trump's actual run? who's going to, you know, ken griffin and donors seem to be fleeing. who's going to fund it? who's going to run it? what's this going to look like, what do you know? >> this is going to be a much smaller campaign than you saw in 2020, a bare bones campaign. this is going to look a lot like 2015 when trump started to run out of trump tower. he had a staff of really just a core of about a half dozen people. hillary clinton in her headquarters out in brooklyn, you know, had almost 200 people working. donald trump had this bare bones staff, it was really just him going about flying around in his plane doing a lot of interviews. this is a bare-bones campaign, once again.
4:35 pm
as far as the money, he has shown a pretty remarkable ability to raise small-dollar donations from all those people you see at his rallies in the red hats sending in 20, 25, $50 at a time. there doesn't seem to be any limit yet to that. he can raise the money. but this does not look like a big national campaign of a former president of the united states ready to take on the world. it looks very much like a startup campaign. >> eric, what are you hearing in terms of the fundraising? and you're hearing what jonathan's saying, he could rely on small donors if they're still there to fund it. >> well, that's part of the problem. he raised $100 million with small dollar donors, and he only spent the money on himself. he wants to lay on his pile of gold and rely on other people to spend their money. this is part of the problem. in 2018 you could say, well, it was a standard midterm, that's
4:36 pm
why they lost in. 2020 he said it was stolen. in 2022 republicans did pretty good in the country unless they were tied to donald trump and they all lost. that's kind of the wake-up call for a lot of people who thought maybe 2020 was stolen. this time apparently the only people you could steal it from is people who are trump-backed. >> i appreciate all of your time. thank you all very much. , and next, the florida governor ron desantis highlighting losses by trump-backed candidates in the midterms. >> it was a hugely underwhelming, disappointing performance. >> well, there you go, finally punching back. is this a preview of what we're about to watch for two years? and kari lake leaning into election conspiracy. she has not yet conceded her arizona governor's race. this comes as a major turning point just happening for the gop.

tonight, kari lake, the arizona republican candidate for governor is still not conceding to her democratic opponent katie hobbs nearly 24 hours after cnn projected hobbs is the winner. arizonas know bs when they see it. this as lake signaling she would not accept the results if she lost. >> i'm afraid that it probably is not going to be completely fair. i wish i could sit here and say i have complete faith in the system. i don't have faith in the system. >> will you accept the results of your election in november? >> i'm going to win the election
4:50 pm
and i will accept that result. >> "outfront" now, fred upton of michigan. kari lake has questioned michigan. every time you asked her if 2020 was rigged and this would be too if she didn't win it, she has not concede 24 hours after the race has been called. are you worried she isn't going to let this go? >> well, i don't know. i'm not from arizona. i'm from michigan. but she seems to be perpetrating the continued myth of losers when they lose. you know, if you lose, you say congrats to the winner and you move on. and maybe you fight another day. but this attitude of denying the real election results. in michigan there was 154,000 votes. there was no shred of evidence the election could have been overturned because of fraud or abuse or whatever excuse they
4:51 pm
could possibly find. and here we are. so our top of the ticket in michigan last week, they were all election deniers. and you know what? they all got beat badly. voters are tired. let's move forward. and of course tudor dixon, who was an election denier backed by trump concede, did concede and said congratulations to gretchen whitmer, which is significant and not what we're seeing from kari lake. this comes in the context of a full room in mar-a-lago tonight, congressman, and trump going ahead with what he thought was going to be coming in like a king to victory, but is very different in terms of the feel. he's widely expected in that room to announce his third presidential run tonight. at a time when he has been weakened by bad midterm results. i mean, they were bad. some republicans, many republicans, in fact, are saying it's time for the party to move on. but you said, congressman, over the summer, not only that you thought trump would run again, but that he would be hard to stop. do you feel that way now? >> i feel that.
4:52 pm
i said he would run again. so at least i'm already 50%. and the more that get in, the better it is for him. remember, he had 27 republicans run against him in 2016. and i think that the field will broaden. you know, it's -- i think that he feels the early bird gets the worm. but frankly, with last week's elections, it was clear to me, that particularly among independents, and they make up the balance. they decide the wind winners in a lot of these elections. they saw his speech last monday night in ohio. they witnessed a good number of the candidates that he supported around the country. they got a lot of attention. many of them were deniers. they didn't win. and i think there were a lot of independents that said i dent really want to go down that path again. he's hurting the party. he's going to be a significant player whether he is in or out. that's for sure. he has raised a ton of money already. and he really does feel that the
4:53 pm
early bird gets the worm, and that's one of the reasons why i think he is probably going announce tonight to try to get at the forefront and just send the first shot across the bow. >> so here is the thing, though. it comes that he is doing it in florida, right, where ron desantis had the only magnificent victory that republicans had. ron desantis won miami. he's also speaking tonight at the republican governor's association saying oh, talk about trump. who won last week? who was the winner? the republican winner cynthia lummis was asked whether she would support trump in 2024. the reply was who is the current leader of the republican party? oh, i know who it is, ron desantis. do you agree with her? >> well, ron desantis is a very heavyweight player for the republicans. he has done an excellent job as governor of florida. i served with him in the house for a couple of terms. he is widely respected. people think he can raise the
4:54 pm
money. he is the counterpunch certainly to donald trump, which is why trump is starting to slam him with, you know, innuendos and name-calling, that type of thing, something trump has a history of doing. but the problem that desantis will have should he get in is there may be other candidates who get in as well. trump has his base. he has at least a 30 or 35% hard-core following that are not going to leave him under any circumstance. >> right. >> and the more republicans that get in, the easier it will be for him to win the field, as he did back in 2016 when there were 17 republicans running, including the governor of florida, jeb bush. a good number of solid republicans that were in the race. and trump came out of nowhere because of his strong base. he can do it again. you can't discount where he is, like it or not. >> it's going to be incredible to see what exactly -- what
4:55 pm
actually does transpire here. thank you so much, congressman. i appreciate your time tonight. >> you bet. all right, next. we are awaiting president biden. he says he is going to be hosting an emergency round table with leaders in bali where they've been discussing the missile hit in poland. also, the most powerful rocket ever built. plus extended-release b-vitamins. wake up feeling refreshed. pure zzzs. sleep better. wake up your best.
4:56 pm
dove 0% is different. we left aluminum out and put 48 hours freshness and 1 quarter moisturizers... in. dove 0% aluminum deodorant. lasting odor protection that's kind on skin.
4:57 pm
all right. i want to take you to a room in bali. president biden holding what the white house calls an emergency round table with world leaders. this is after poland -- sorry. i'll just tell you what it is here, obviously going to bars. you just saw the room. it's in bali, just hours before president biden is slated to get on a plane and return back to the united states. an emergency round table they're calling at the white house with other world leaders after poland says a russian-made missile hit on its soil, killing two people just four miles from the ukraine border. we'll just get an update here on whether -- all right. we're trying to figure out whether we can get that back. the very latest we have from the polish foreign ministry is they believe this is a russian-made
4:58 pm
missile. and it did hit polish territory. there is no question about that, about four miles from the ukraine border. there were two people killed. the big question, of course, is whether this was fired by russia. russia today firing about 100 or so missiles across all of ukraine. that's the context in which this missile hit, leaving a crater. our matthew chance is there on the scene and has told us obviously that it is completely locked off right now by polish authorities. so we're awaiting president biden. the minute that that round table comes to us, i'm going bring it to you. i want to give you the other story i promised, though, which is about nasa and that rocket artemis. it's been so, so long delayed, now fueling up right now, and it is set to launch in a matter of hours. let me just show you that. the tanking operations loading liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen pellets into the rocket. it is the most powerful rocket ever built. and it's been a lot of delays and it's finally getting ready to good.
4:59 pm
the uncrewed mission is going to be 26 days. it's going to go around the moon. we're going to see it flying farther than any spacecraft built to carry humans has ever flown. the artemis team has overcome so many of those delays. they've had temperature sensor issue, leak issues, and then weather issues. right now, though, they are all a go. the weather is 80% favorable as we understand it right now. if successful, this mission would be a major milestone for nasa, because really, it's a test mission. and the aim is to take humans back to the moon for the first time in 50 years. there are several more steps in the coming hours before nasa declares artemis a go. so we'll see whether it really goes. i'm sorry? okay. all right. so two things happening right now. you're watching live television. the first is we're awaiting that round table out of bali with
5:00 pm
president biden. obviously having some transmission issues on that. but they hadn't yet started speaking. very crucial to see whether obviously poland is going to invoke article 4 of consult with nato or article 5, which would require all of nato to respond. that would possibly be the polish request on the back of this missile hit. the context here in the u.s. is what you're looking at on your screen, mar-a-lago, the former president trump is slated in the next hour or so to give an address, which he had expected to be a major victory speech announcing his reelection campaign. but it is, of course, anything but that. but we do understand that he still plans to go ahead with that announcement that he will be running for president, again in 2024. we're monitoring both those stories. as soon as that round table begins you'll see it here on cnn from bali. in the meantime, thank you so much for joining us. don't forget you can watch the show any time on cnn go. and let's hand it off now to "ac 360.
