if it's friday, another u.s. intelligence assessment points to growing dismay over the war. from the highest levels of the kremlin. what it means for the response in washington. state department spokesperson ned price joins us ahead. plus president biden announces his plan to combat high gas price, democrats face another political challenge, a potential surge of migrants and asylum seekers at the borders. >> and for the 11th straight month, a record that goes back to the 1930s.

welcome to "meet the press daily." i'm chuck todd. the u.s. and nato allies say russia appears to be redeploying its forces. no pulling back, as what was promised earlier in the week. while talks continue, neither side is expecting a resolution any time soon. there is a renewed focus on vladimir putin, what he knows, what he's being told and how those things could influence his next move. and the white house is releasing additional intelligence. according to an intel assessment gathered last month, senior officials disagreed with putin to invade ukraine and the poor performance as likely amplified the frustrations of those around him. putin denies reports that he is being kept in the dark. the white house put out another

assessment suggesting putin is being misinformed. yesterday president biden seemed to downplay the significance of that intelligence, even as his own administration went public with those findings. >> how badly is vladimir putin being misinformed? >> that's an open question. there's a lot of speculation but he seems to be, i'm not saying this with a certainty, he seems to be self-isolating and there's some indication that he has fired or put under house arrest some of his advisers. but i don't want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don't have that much hard evidence. >> for what it's worth, we know putin can be informed correctly any time he wants. and in a sign of how tenuous the white house receives the situation in ukraine, nbc news was first to report today that

the pentagon announced it was cancelling an intercontinental ballistic missile test over reports that putin would view it as escalatory. interest's concern about poking him. moscow is blaming ukraine for an air strike about 20 miles from the border. nbc news could not independently verify who is responsible. we'll try again tomorrow to evacuate civilians. the russians aren't allowing it. the organizations say we're running out of adjectives to describe the horrors that those in mariupol have suffered.

when the 4.1 million ukrainians so far have fled to neighboring countries, according to the united nations, it's nearly 10% of the entire population of the country. millions more have been displaced inside ukraine, many from the east, temporary living in the west part of the country. in a moment, i'll speak with the state department spokes person. raf sanchez is in hungary. issues on the ballot, the war in ukraine and the relationship with russia. richard, what's going on on the ground today and what, if anything, should we expect from today's round of peace talks? >> so the -- i think what's happening on the battlefield and the peace talks are, as they always are, very much related. let's start not with the main

headline of the day, which we've been talking about a lot, the attack inside russian territory against the fuel depot. but back in kyiv, the mayor of a suburb just on the outskirts of the city announced a short while ago that russian forces have been driven out of a little area called bucha. that might sound very specific, very local to this conflict but it is a major milestone for the ukrainian government, the ukrainian resistance. you have kyiv, the main capital. then there was irpin, first russian forces were driven out of irpin and now we're told or the mayor is claiming that russian forces have been driven even further back from the following suburb, which is called bucha. it sound like the forces are

taking significant losses around kyiv and the government in kyiv is establishing a much, much wider bubble making the people in the capital feel much more comfortable that they are at very little risk of being surrounded and very little risk that the capitol itself could be invaded or taken over. then the new development of the day, which is that strike inside russia, on an oil depot, across the border about 45 miles from where i'm standing right now. according to russian officials, not just one russian official but multiple russian official, there were two ukrainian helicopters under the cover of darkness that crossed the border, traveled about 20 miles, attacked this fuel depot from the helicopters and then returned to ukrainian territory. and they were apparently not shot down, they were not

harassed, putin's spokesman was specifically asked how was it possible that these helicopters were able to enter russian airspace and not be harassed, not be shot down, returned to their home base. and ukrainian officials are using this classic formulation when you want to confirm something but don't want to acknowledge it that we can neither confirm nor deny. but had they not been involved and this was something that the russians were launching themselves as a false flag, they certainly would have been in a position to deny. >> it's just hard to sort of -- are the russians just outraged by this? it's sort of like that's a bit rich. >> i don't think they are outraged. it is not wall-to-wall coverage on russian media. your initial question was how are the negotiations going? i said i think what's happening on the battlefield influences

the negotiations. so there has been a prisoner exchange that involved dozens of ukrainian soldiers so that's a sign of progress on the battlefield. dmitri peskov said he informed putin about this attack and said it would harm the negotiations but there was not a tremendous outcry of opposition from russian officials. maybe because the message had already been delivered by the ukrainian military that although they're not confirming it, they can reach out and touch the russians inside their own territory. the russians are leaving it be for now. >> interesting. richard engel in ukraine for us, thank you. i'm going to move over to hungary. this is the first election we'll have and the war is having an impact. two months ago nobody thought this was going to be that

competitive. lo and behold, there's a lot of thought that this is going to be a long weekend for mr. orbon. raf, what have you learned? >> reporter: he has historically had a very close relationship with putin, probably the closest of any leader in a nato country and that relationship is now a major issue in the election here. orbon was in moscow meeting putin a couple of weeks before the invasion started. he has been refusing to allow the direct transfer of nato weapons over his border from hungary into ukraine. compare that to the situation in poland where they are sending anti-tank weapons and all sorts of missiles every day. orbon had a rally here just a couple hours ago and he's presenting himself as the man who will keep hungry out of the war next door. he says he doesn't want to see a single hungarian caught between

the russian hammer. his opponents are hammering over that relationship. we met the man who wants to replace orbon as the leader of hungary and i asked him how the war next door is featuring in the election here. take a listen. >> you said in this election it's a choice for hungary between the west or putin. what do you mean by that? >> well, orbon has been serving putin for 12 years. all of a sudden everybody realize that putin is a war criminal who is killing innocent children and pregnant mothers, shelling hospitals and shooting at nuclear power plants. so of course now arming threats to hungary's safety and security that putin might actually become a direct neighbor of hungary. orbon is still trying to stop brussels and not putin so we asked him to stop putin instead

of brussels. >> reporter: chuck, orbon is of course an authoritarian leader. he's been in power here for more than a decade. he has a strong grip on the state institutions here in hungary, has control over much of the media. i asked the opposition leader do you stand a real chance? he said this is not a fair fight but we can still win and take back this country. >> thanks very much. i'm now joined by state department spokesperson ned price. ned, it is good to have you on. let me start with a simple question. officially does the u.s. government believe that a free and fair election is being held this weekend in hungary? >> well, chuck, we'll be watching very closely as we always do. we expect to see a free and fair election but we'll be in a position to judge that after the election is completed. >> do we have observers on the

ground, u.s. observers? >> chuck, i couldn't speak to whether we have american observers on the ground but many of our partners and international organizations often do monitor these elections so i do expect we will have credible information to convey after the election is completed. >> can you add any additional information to the russian allegation that ukraine attacked an oil field on russian soil, as you heard in richard engel's reporting, it seems to be a non-denial, not going to confirm or deny situation? anything more you can add? >> we are going to let our ukrainian partners speak to the situation. this war is something that president putin started. it the kremlin that has been prosecuting this brutal war against the ukrainian state, the ukrainian government. we're going to continue to

support the right of our ukrainian partners to defend themselves. they've been proving their effectiveness every single day on the battleground. >> would the u.s. denounce an attack on russian soil -- >> i'm not going to entertain a hypothetical. we'll let our ukrainian partners speak for themselves. they have a right to defend themselves. they have been doing that quite effectively. president putin clearly made a miscalculation when he expected to roll into ukraine to take over ukraine's major population centers, including kyiv, a population of 2.9 million people within 48 or 72 hours. we're now more than five weeks into this premeditated, unjustified conflict war on the part of the kremlin against ukraine and russian forces have been stalled. president putin has

miscalculated and force of the iron will. >> before the war began, the public posture of the u.s. government to the kremlin was, look, we're willing to discuss where certain things are geographically, where we put troops in nato sometimes and missiles sites that while they're not going to tell us where that certainly it was we were open to a conversation. i'm about to speak with a lat latvian official in a few minutes. at this point is the u.s. posture we don't care what the russians think, it all about securing nato allies, particularly those on the front lines and the border, russia? >> the nature of the dialogue and the focus has shifted. our focus is supporting our ukrainian partners, reassuring nato, including our nato allies in the eastern flank and putting tremendous pressure on the

kremlin, on president putin, on the cronies and oligarchs around him. before this started we made very clear that we were prepared to engage in a genuine good faith conversation about this stated concerns that the kremlin had put forward. but the kremlin's posture i think proves what we've been saying all along. in many ways it was just a farce. the russians were engaging in the pretense of diplomacy. they were making noises like these were issues that could be resolved at the negotiating table. there were issues that we could discuss together to improve our security situations, to address their concerns. but their stated security concerns were nothing more than a pretext, a pretext that putin then used to go into ukraine to take on this brutal war against the ukrainian people. >> does the u.s. government have any issue of zelenskyy's posture and negotiations are, you know

what, while crime were is something we can table for a few years and discuss that later, you know, what ukraine's borders were before the war or what ukraine's borders are going to be period, is the u.s. willing to back zelenskyy on that? >> we'll are willing to back him. we will back the ukrainian government in the decisions they make. you raised our posture before the invasion started. our mantra back then was nothing about ukraine without ukraine. that remains very true today. there are a number of countries who have been supporting the dialogue and diplomacy, we're grateful for that. the efforts of our turkish allies. we along with our allies have made very clear that we are supporting and supportive of diplomacy, but it needs to be the ukrainians who are in the lead here. we're not going to make decisions for ukraine. it is going to be up to

president zelenskyy to determine what's in his best interest and the ukrainian people going forward. we're putting ukraine in the strongest position possible by providing $2 billion over the course of this administration, providing them with precisely what they need to halt and to take on this invading russian force, while, as i said before, putting that pressure on the kremlin, hitting the kremlin where it hurts so that as we strengthen ukraine's hand at the negotiating table, we do everything we can to weaken the russian hand. >> is there any way this -- why should the ukrainians settle for anything -- if putin is still in power next door, how can the ukrainians ever feel secure? >> chuck, that's precisely the point. already we have seen that moscow is weaker, it is more isolated, it is enfeebled on the world stage. that is true today and it will be truer when this ends.

not only will moscow's strategic positioning be a far cry from what it was before this conflict began but we also want to see to it that moscow won't be in a position to do something like this again, whether it's within months or years down the road. that's something we're going to consult on very closely with our nato allies, with our ukrainian partners as well. >> ned price, spokesperson from the u.s. state department. really appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective, sir. >> coming up i'll talk to the deputy of defense of latvia. we'll be right back. latvia. we'll be right back. were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone.

commanders are assessing for the long term. stoltenberg said it marks a new normal. nato already agreed to double its troop presence all over eastern europe. some say it's still not enough. the baltic states of astonia, latvia and lithuania have been raising the alarm over russian aggress for years. now, unless they go further support from allies, some worry they could be next. it's good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> let me start with, look, we can talk about prewar here in a minute. what do you need right now? what is the concern of the average latvian citizens?

>> it's not the strength of russia, it's the weakness of the west. what we need is a nation which is already spending from our gdp and our defense and being a nato and european border country, we need more fire power and we need also a larger presence because seeing what kind of bully neighbor we do have, we cannot rely that if they invade our territory in certain moment that we can stop them immediately. and this is exactly what our strategy must be. not to recover and liberate after but to stop them immediately. >> you don't want to be put in the ukrainian situation where suddenly you need all these -- after the fact there's no doubt it has helped ukraine do this but it was after the fact. >> yes, because after there will be doubts and cease-fires. >> right now there's 2,700 american troops across the three

baltics states. how much do you want to see? >> these troops that you are counting are not on a permanent basis. they're coming and leaving. so as they come maybe for one or two months, they train with us -- >> you want permanent basis. >> we want a permanent stationing of certain american number of troops or a certain capabilities like, for instance, air defense or, for instance, rocket artillery, which at this moment americans stationed in germany, there are no dangers in germany where you could use rocket artillery and so you could train together and eventually purchase ourselves. additionally we are asking americans additional financial and military support to build our armies further on. >> as you're watching, what is your biggest concern as these peace talks are attempted and an attempt to try to end the hot war here? what's your concern of the various potential endings to this conflict that we can see?

>> the biggest concern is that we are some western allies or politicians or experts who are wishing well and good to reach a cease-fire, but the cease-fire alone is simply a russian and a kremlin trap because if you would agree on a cease-fire, result withdrawal of russian troops, at least to the 24th of february they will dig in and destroy the country and have a long-term possibility for the next war again. if we want the cease-fire withdraw out of mariupol and out of ukraine. that's the point. >> bottom line is if it's anything that essentially gives him some form watch he wanted in the donbas region, you think that's going to send the wrong message? >> i think serious talks can start with russia only when they are ready and they are not ready now and once they withdraw with the positions they took, all the rest is just fake things and lying from their side.

>> i'm curious, what kind of russian flight have you seen come into latvia? we hear about the brain drain that's been taking place, that russian professionals, your dentists, lawyer, accountants, are you seeing influx? >> yes, we do. we have to be a little bit careful now. first of all, we see different types of news agencies and fleeing, people who simply cannot do their work in russia. then we see also people who were earlier purchasing some apartments or houses. they use opportunity to go to the west to come to us. but i believe there are also some other people who simply want convenience or don't want to be even drafted. so -- and i believe there could be also some moles coming. so we have to be a bit careful. >> how are you dealing with that? how do you vet? >> we are interviewing and very careful. >> are you really? >> yeah, we do.

>> when you see the -- right now the western alliance has a bunch of democracies nervous because of the rising cost of energy. that can have the concern about we got to keep the energy flowing, they want to keep a relationship with russia. is that something that can be done or do you want to see europe cut itself off completely from russian energy? >> look, we want relationship with russia. we have to be very careful when we pronounce these words because, yes, there have been a lot of mistakes actually by our western allies made previously. which partly also facilitated this war. for instance, the engagement with the totalitarian regimes, we will change them. no. we got more corrupted, we got installed a different -- let's say an economic power. so in brief i believe it's time to deputinize the west. if you want to stop this violent

war, then it is very important that we are actually putting maximum sanctions on russia now and the maximum military support to ukraine. this is the only way how we can finish. >> when you see the ruble recovering in russia, does that mean our sanctions aren't working as well as they could in. >> sanctions are long term and russians and putin is quite able to endure so we have to mount it up, as i mentioned, along with the military support to ukraine and i think we should be capable so to spill more on money, including stopping gas, oil, closing ports to russian ships because if you do not want to spill our blood, we must spill money. >> defense minister, deputy prime minister of latvia, thanks for coming on. be safe out there. >> thank you for your support. >> coming up, my conversation with elizabeth warren about a

welcome back. it was another solid jobs report today with president biden

giving credit to the pandemic rescue plan but it comes at a moment when biden is struggling to translate good job numbers into good economic will with the voters. biden's approval rating is at its lowest point, driven largely by his handling of the economy. 63% of americans disapprove of the handling of the economy as soaring inflation wipes out wage gains. the administration is facing the resurgence of another issue, the situation at the southern border. top democrats are lashing out at the administration and each other over a plan to lift an emergency order at the border.

mary theresa, let me start with you. title 42. on may 23rd, do you expect title 42 to be lifted? >> we would hope that to be the case. i'm hearing it's not going to be such a rush. >> if they find a reason to extend it -- >> they're going to. and the challenge with that and heading into the new mid terms, they haven't been able to define anything they've been to the latina community very squarely, whether it's been on extending student loan debt, immigration reform or actually feeling the latino community is feeling more at ease. the reason i bring up the latino community, we just launched a poll and found that close to 30% of the people who voted for biden aren't sure if they're going to come out of mid terms. >> is it all in one direction or are there many reasons? >> i think fundamentally it's the economy. it's not the economy at large. we are talking bread and butter issues. we're talking, yes, can you back

to work and seen a modest raise. if the price of milk is pushing on $8 a gallon and you're still living on $15 of minimum wage, that's not enough and you don't have anything else to demonstrate the administration is working for you. >> the administration is panicked about immigration. they're like, hey, this isn't our decision, this is the cdc's decision. wow, you don't want to own this at all. look, our economy is struggling on the labor front because we don't have enough immigration and this administration's been afraid even to touch that. >> it's always something that democrats have struggled to talk about and where republicans are often very comfortable being in sort of the peanut gallery. it's easy for republicans to say democrats are doing a terrible job and blame the federal government for whatever is going on on the migration front, on the southern border. this is very much for the gop, this is their total comfort zone be, the situation that the administration is in right now. of course it's not a situation that anybody would envy. the politics are really

complicated and to the point about the nbc poll, didn't the president support among latino voters drop something like 9%. that's a scary number for an administration that has rhetorically really committed itself to this community. so it's hard to see politically a way. >> part of the problem as swann was explaining to me yesterday if you took the gain of 2013, not only would you not have as many republicans to support it, you couldn't get all 50 democrats to support it. the middle ground -- we've gone further away from each other. >> the gang of eight bill is entirely unresponsive to the situation today. i wrote in the very first month of the administration this is going to be the issue that sinks them in 2022 if they're not careful. this is no longer the illegal immigration of your unattached young men, singly or in groups,

looking to elude detection. this the is overwhelming of the asylum system. the border crossers are abusing the law which was written with the victims of nazism and fascism, flees political prosecution. now you have people often in family groups -- >> economic positions. >> saying i want to be found. the system will not give me a speedy trial, it will release me into the american economy while i wait for a speedy trial. i'll comply with the law and at such time that it looks like i might lose, then i drop out of legality into illegality. so the gang of eight bill, that was all about the illegal immigrant of yore who came across as a single white male

trying to elude detection. >> there is two issues happening now. the bill addressed people already in this country, the 11 million or so who had been here for about 20 years on average. >> remember it was 11 years then. because we're eight years later, we're now saying two decades. >> when daca passed, we were talking about 18-year-olds. 18-year-olds are now pushing 30, 32 and they're still in limbo, even though they have temporary asylum for all intents and purposes. what the administration needs to look at and the congressman has been working very closely, what are the executive actions that could address those individuals that are stuck in limbo in the united states? the issue of migration and asylum seeking? we have to absolutely address but they are two distinct issues and what the republicans have done very well at is conflating the two and we have to talk to the american people because they recognize that that neighborhood restaurant that you love to go to, he's part of your family and

part of your community. how do you address his status? >> there seems to be no -- i don't want to say band width, no appetite in the administration to do it. >> they don't want to talk about it. it's not something where you see them going out front, being aggressive, proposing anything sweeping or inspiring that they can use to appeal to immigrant communities. it's an issue where the biden administration is very much playing defense and is responsive and reactionary to what republicans are doing, essentially laying out the terms of the debate and the biden administration now is just trying to essentially push back and staunch the bleeding to the extent that they view it that way. it's so complex while some come to the border seeking asylum, those northern triangle countries are so so troubled and

many of the people who come to the united states and seek asylum are doing it because they need asylum because the countries they're in have become in some ways almost borderline failed states. >> it was not designed to address i live in a bad country. they're coming because of something i can't control. if it's for anyone who lives in you a violent, stable and poor country, that's many billions of people. >> the challenge we're recognizing is the united states exported the gang problem to central america. these were individuals basically picked up on immigration, went into los angeles county jails for the most part, got indoctrinated to the gang system -- >> el salvador basically declared a state of emergency and suspended rights for citizens. >> if you're gay, if you're a woman, and you don't want to be part of the gang, you're in

trouble and we have to recognize -- >> asylum cannot be the problem for instability everywhere on earth. >> you have that conversation and talk to the ukrainians and afghanistanis -- >> you will destroy the government of the united states. i've been saying this for a long time. if people who have responsible politics will not accept that the border is an important issue that has to be stabilized and the state has to be in control of people. >> why isn't an economic argument an effective one here? we're desperate for workers. i met with the mayor of san antonio earlier this week. he's like we got 3.8% unemployment, we need workers. he's working on a pilot program that's interested in working with the government of mexico. i'm sure you're a little bit familiar with it the way you reacted. >> but this is the thing.

>> isn't there an economic argument to be made? >> if you actually recognize the aging in of americans in general. for the very first time the white population according to the census dropped significantly. we're going to look much more like japan, like europe than we would be in the thriving country that we are. i'm not disagreeing with you that we need to have responsible laws -- >> we can't live without water. it's not a good argument. there's a flood in the basement and my house is going to be destroyed. without water you won't be able to live. >> i think that's the -- betsy, that's why the administration doesn't know what to do. and they'd rather throw up their hands, not talk about it and hope people pay attention. >> it's a strategic decision not to be ahead for the 21st century. we're not going to stop, are we, david? >> this is why it's good to have panels back. thank you all. up ahead, a new focus on

fighting a growing threat to the safety of women worldwide. you're watching "meet the press daily." you're watching "meet the press daily.

scotts turf builder triple action kills weeds, prevents crab grass and feeds your lawn. all three,in just one bag. i like that. scotts turf builder triple action. it's lawn season. let's get to the yard. welcome back. this week the white house proclaimed april as national sexual assault awareness and prevention month. one of the fastest growing threats to women is online harassment. 1 in 3 women under the age of 35 have experienced a type of

sexual harassment online, and it's often time under reported and not taken seriously. the biden administration is committed to a new global partnership for action on online harassment and abuse. morgan radford joins me now and has been doing reporting on the impact on this type of harassment and women in journalism, and it's not a close call, as nasty as the attacks can be in this business, if you are a woman it's at a another level. >> before this was all sort of anecdotal, but now we have hard data. this is one of the biggest issues facing female journalists right now, and we have a closer look at how online attacks against female journalists are getting started and what it looks like for those on the receiving end, and a warning to

our viewers, some of the language may be disturbing. 73% of women journalist saying they experienced online attacks and 30% say it impacted your work. >> i don't know if i can say this on tv. i am going to rape you. >> somebody wrote the words, i am going to rape you? >> yep. >> she was targeted one year ago in a segment on fox news. >> she's at the top of journalisms repulsive food chain. now she's at the center of a news study among researchers, among the first to quantify online hate against journalist. >> using large-scale data to measure online language, they tracked violent and threatening tweets at two female journalists after being targeted by two male

media figures. for another journalist, the threats went up 65%. these types of attacks have changed their lives and their work. >> there's reporting that i know that i would like to do that other journalists would like to do that we are not able to do because it's not safe enough for us to do them. >> they are not alone. >> this is after i did a report on the number of increases of white supremacist coming for office. there's a reference to a noose. >> you will see there are people tweeting, these are taylor's loved ones.
