officially replacing her predecessor boris johnson. we'll have a live report from london. president biden hitting the midterm trail for pennsylvania's john fetterman and critical moment for the senate campaign with questions about fetterman's health persisting. we're on trump subpoena watch. the january 6 committee prepares to exert pressure on the former president just day after being deposed in a defamation lawsuit linked to a rape allegation. good day to you, i'm peter alexander in for andrea mix will. we're following breaking news. liz truss is out at 10 downing street just about six weeks after receiving permission from queen elizabeth to form a government that immediately took a political nosedive thanks to a series of economic measures there that roild the markets through inflation into overdrive and turned british public opinion sharply against her.

truss' conservative party is expected to name a replacement within the next week. and in just the last hour from the white house president biden spoke about liz truss and his optimism for the united kingdom. >> she was a good partner on russia and the british problem. and she was a good partner. >> we want to continue this hour with willfred frost in london and ed loose. i want to get you to. you're overseas right now. sort of walk us through if can with what is happening. behind closed doors, what is happening among british lawmakers as we speak? >> yeah, peter, thank you so much for having me. an extraordinary turn of events to see a prime minister forced to resign so early in her premiership, 45 days in when she meant to be at the peak of her

past. how do we get here? lots of nuances the last couple days. the big picture is she bet the house in a cavalier way on a very focused set of right-wing policies. the market as you said in the intro forced her to u-turn which wh she did u-turn, she lost the support of the base and quickly found out she didn't have any support outside of her base and didn't have the time or credibility to build it. that's why we are where we are today. in terms of what's next, the one key thing we do know is the next prime minister will be in place by next friday. very quickly. that's the hope of the conservative party that the party will quickly fall behind some kind of unity candidate. that is a big hope. we'll have to see it to believe it. what we don't know is the threshold of mps required to get on the short list. is that low or high? and weather the final vote will be done by mps or the 200,000 strong party membership? and those key swing factors

decide whether candidates like boris johnson have the best chance or who will have the best chance? >> dramatic fall from grace here for liz truss and brought the british economy down with her. and lose you to on that. i want to put up the graphic that can show viewers how unprecedented what we're watching in the united kingdom. it really hasn't been seen there in close to 200 years. you can see dating, you know, this is the shortest tenure by a modern prime minister. you have to go back almost 200 years to get near that. how does this level of political turmoil impact those brits? >> well, hugely. i mean, as i have been saying, she was sort of ultimate pure market and defeated by the free market. she will now be succeeded within a week by somebody else which will mark britain's fifth presume minister in six years. this, is you know, beating any

italian record of instability. downing street has turned into a revolving door. the notion that the conservative party will come up with a unity party is fanciful. the party is deeply split between people who think that what's wrong with britain is pop u lichl has not been tried. just let that sink in. hasn't been tried. and another part of the party that believes that the reason britain's is in such trouble is because of this. this is impossible. and, therefore, the next british prime minister isn't going to have much longer a shelf life than liz truss did. >> so we're going to dive into more details there in a moment. but ambassador, i want to bring you into this. what it means for the u.s. and for our european allies, specifically as it relates to the share of war effort right now in support of ukraine. how will this negatively impact

potentially support from the united kingdom? any sort of moment is doubt is problematic. >> yeah. it will be problematic. i think on that issue in particular, there seems to be a wide consensus both within the conservative party and with the opposition that support for ukraine is something that is just necessary. it needs to be done. it is likely to continue. the steps have been taken. i think the kind of training that is happening for ukrainian soldiers and britain, the military assistance that has been provided and will continue to be provided to the ukrainians will continue. the bigger question really is the stability of britain as such and the stability of what was a rock in terms of the alliance at nato. our relationship with europe and with the uk having the kind of turnover we're seeing politically now and the

uncertainty about where the country is going in general on issues of the economy, relations with europe, trade, all questions that are now halted once again is the real problem. i think the ukrainians are the only ones that can count on the uk remaining with them and again the russians. >> let me ask you if i can on that topic very quickly. the house republican leader kevin mccarthy said there is likely to be no blank check for ukraine if republicans take back the majority next year. so perhaps that uncertainty is more about what the american position will be if the republicans win back the house. >> yeah. that's a very unfortunate statement by the leader of the house republicans. kevin mccarthy has voted consistently in favor of ukrainian support. so has the vast majority of the caucus. it seems that he is now being led by a small mi within the caucus rather than being the leader one would hope. more importantly, we just

released a public opinion survey by the chicago council on global affairs which demonstrates that american public is foursquare behind supporting ukraine militarily. 58% thinks we need to do it as long as it takes no matter what happens on prices of food and fuel in the stores. p that's a big number. i hope the republicans, whenever election is over, come back to support a ukraine that is important for our freedom, certainly important for ukraine. >> heading into the cold weather months, the need there in ukraine is great now as it has ever been. ed, i want to ask you about what we're witnessing taking place in london now. this immediate discussion after liz truss' departure was whether we might see boris johnson back in charge. is that a real possibility? it is a real possibility. he is apparently flying back from a vacation in the dominican republic. i guess here when he's formally going to be standing or not, it

is sort of the most absurd twist of events is boris who delivered and he backed her. she was a loyalist. he was the one that brought boris down by resigning as chancellor. he was the stab in the back figment liz truss was boris' prend. liz truss is a boris product. if boris is the cure to this disease, god knows what is happening to the state of medicine. >> yeah. so just a dramatic period of instability. do we anticipate we'll hear from king charles, prince william to make a public address to give the people of britain a bit of stability right now? >> well, we desperately are needed stability. but, no. that won't come from the monarch. it has to stay out of politics. it will create some kind

constitutional crisis if they did step night. it is an interesting reminder that liz truss was pointed by a king and resign to a king and third prime minister in the space of a couple months. there is a desperate need for stability here and even if in a sense it is an extraordinarily big if the conservative party manages to find a unity candidate in the short term. this is a party that will continue to tear itself apart. it's been in power since 2010. it changed presume ministers so many times. it's massive issues that torn it apart from brexit to lockdown. it very hard to see long term stability with the current state of play and that might require general election and more formal change of government. and yet that, definitely won't arrive in a short term. >> willford, ed, mr. ambassador, we thank you for your time and expertise. coming up on the road again, president biden heading to pennsylvania to campaign for the

there you see air force one, president biden just landing in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. he's there for the first of two stops in pennsylvania today. he's going to be going to the site of a bridge that collapsed just about nine months ago is being rappedly rebuilt right now. the president will be selling the trillion bipartisan infrastructure legislation he signed into law allowing that construction to happen. and the president heads to philadelphia this evening. he'll headline a fund-raiser for the senate candidate john fetterman with both men facing some political headwinds as fetterman tries to hold off dr. oz and retake a senate seat from the republicans and president biden tries to help hold on to the democrats' senate majority.

mike, the white house is pointing this as evident that the president is getting out there for candidates. there is very different from the predecessors. >> yeah. that's exactly right, peter. we see air force one there landing in pittsburgh. we know that john fedderman, the -- john fetterman is there waiting for him on the tarmac. one of the questions is as we know fetterman will be joining the president later on air force one to fly here to philadelphia. will fetterman upgrade his usual wardrobe of a hoodie and basketball shorts as he's spending this quality time with the president? also, is this a scene we'll see repeated much more between now and the election in just under three weeks? obviously a lot of candidates have been pushing the president aside. we've seen a number of

candidates welcoming into the districts. the president was feisty when asked about the distance that's been kept from some of the democrats just an hour ago. >> there haven't been that many candidates. >> there are 15. >> are there even more? >> yeah. >> the bottom line is i've been covering this president a long time. certainly wasn't drawing the crowds that his counterpart was drawing. in 2012, he wasn't drawing the crowds that paul ryan was drawing. in the very crowded primary in 2020, he was certainly not the candidate drawing the biggest crowds. the point the white house is making is his predecessors, donald trump, barack obama, they held rallies. but what happened in all the midterm elections? the party in power lost a significant number of seats in

those midterm elections. the so they're not really running a strategy about rallies. they're running one about accomplishments. the president is talking today as he has been about legislative accomplishmentes, peter. >> we see the president arriving there. bob casey is there. there is john fetterman who dressed the part today. no hoodie, no shorts. of he's dressed in a suit in a chilly day in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. he'll be traveling with the president aboard air force one to philadelphia later. governor wolf, the democratic governor of the state there as well right now. and joining me to talk more about this as we anticipate seeing the president exit air force one is the former republican national committee chairman michael steel. michael, i want to ask you to start about john fetterman. you've seen the recent polling. he's barely ahead of dr. oz. that race is tightened right now. almost or perhaps within the margin of error according to the recent numbers. how much of fetterman's success will be tied to how he performs

in the debate that he and oz have next tuesday? >> i don't know if it's going to be tied so much to the debate. but he can use that debate to change the narrative around crime. because that's what he's getting killed right now, metaphorically speaking, where he is getting politically hurt is the success that oz, dr. oz has on making the case against him on crime. >> to be clear, michael, do you think crime politically is a big issue. the biggest challenge perhaps for fetterman lately has been the concerns about his health right now even the doctor gave him a green light. is that still a problem he has to sort of relieve? >> yeah. no, i don't think the health issue really was that much of a -- it was a concern, obviously. largely addressed it. but doctors, you know, report recently released kind of puts that firmly off the table. but politically, the damage is

not been done because of health. the damage has been done because oz made an effective case around crime. he appealed to suburban white voters. what fetterman has to do is pust and shift and lean in a that argument and sort of address how, you know, where the rooms -- wounds have occurred so they can heal. that's where the numbers have sh rufrpg for him. not because of concerns about his health but concerns about his handling of crime issues in the state. >> yeah. the best voting experts say just take a circle and put it around pennsylvania -- philadelphia, around pittsburgh and frankly around harrisburg right now. take a 30 mile radius. you may determine who will be the next winner, next senator in that state. let's go to wisconsin for a moment. we anticipate the president disembarking air force one. a lot of experts there thought that ron johnson the republican

really didn't have a shot to win re-election. eep back in 2016. of course, he rode president trump's popularity in the state to victory. why as we see the president, why has he struggled to beat someone who is widely viewed as vulnerable candidate? why is he struggling? you see the president and fetterman shaking hands. >> republicans are coming home. as republicans want to do in an election where they feel the opponent in this case, mandela barns, isn't cutting the mustard. isn't getting -- giving that feel they can do the job that is worth their vote to go across the aisle. so a lot of the republicans center right voters are particularly independents are coming back and settling with johnson. doesn't mean that's where they're going to stay. there is still some opportunity here to make the case. again this is another example where the crime issue coupled

with the economy is moving the needle. and democrats have yet to figure out that sweet spot that will allow them to make the case, given what they've done to help the economy along the way, you know, jobs created. infrastructure legislation, the inflation legislation. they haven't been able to link that in a way to sort of offset the negative narrative that's out there by republicans and is landing. it landed rather. and a lot of voters are as they get close to voting, are settling back into a more comfortable zone even though they may not be down with johnson completely. he hasn't made the exact case he needs to make. >> i was at an event yesterday with bill clinton who says the republicans are better blamers in his words and better branders. they certainly had some success branding some of the democratic candidates. do you agree with the conventional wisdom that this thing is sort of leaning republican right now?

or is there real potential for things to change? >> look, a few weeks ago i was very much -- i was a little hawkish on democrats having ability to actually hold the line in the house. i think given the effectiveness of the arguments made by republicans over the last few weeks, we've seen it in the polling. the shift particularly again among white suburban women is a 33% shift away from democrats in the last three to four weeks. what they've done now republicans have done is effectively solidified the hold on the house. the margin is still going to be small. maybe somewhere between 15 and 18 seats. but all they need is five. and so you're looking at a potential speaker mccarthy come january and that's going to be a whole different kind of worm for democrats over the next 18 months when republicans in the house start prosecuting january 6 commissioners and hunter biden

and a whole host of things. but, hey, that's -- this is the bouncing ball of politics. the economy and crime are driving the narrative very effectively by republicans. and the democrats ultimately don't have an answer. >> yeah. when most americans are looking for the two sides to work together. it is certain we'll see more division. michael steel, i appreciate your time. thank you for being with us here. >> you got it. >> coming up, are you being served? a congressional subpoena for donald trump is expected soon. will it bring the former president before the january 6th committee? this is "andrea mitchell reports." you're watching msnbc. ndrea mitl reports. you're watching msnbc. is driven by eosinophils, which nucala helps reduce. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue.

conspiracy to defraught the united states. we want to get to our nbc news capitol hill correspondent. "way too early" host is with us and former u.s. attorney joyce vance. you have the new reporting here. judge carter cites the crime fraud exception. how quickly will the committee get these new documents and what is the time line for the subpoena now? >> yeah, peter, you have to imagine the committee wants to get their hands on the new documents as quickly as possible, especially because multiple members have stressed to me the fact that they're currently really centered on doing the final report. that has to be done before the end of the year. we expect that final report to come in september. that as it pertains to the subpoena. my sources tell me they're currently meeting in a hybrid mix of virtual because they're trying to nail down the particulars, not just when they're issuing this subpoena, though, the initial guidance that i had been given was that

the committee was aiming to send the subpoena in the early part of this week. clearly now that timing has slid. the here we are on thursday. the committee's also trying to hammer down the date for compliance for the former president. so the thinking is that it's going to be after the mid terms. but nevertheless, that is still something that is currently talked about and the km the is trying to hammer out. so that's what they're doing as they huddle probably as we're speaking trying to figure out when they're sending that subpoena. again, all this comes against the backdrop that they're clearly still actively getting information that points to the former president. look no further than the eight critical e-mail that's were found in the trove of documents from john eastman that judge is now pointing to saying that there is clear potential for criminal exposure here which is why these e-mails have to be turned over to the committee and are not subject to attorney client privilege. >> joyce, the eastman ruling is not a criminal judgement but still significant. once the documents are out of

the bag, the doj even fulton county can obtain them. so how problem at sick this for the former president? >> it's very problematic. these e-mails, for instance, in one case establish that the former president signs a verification of a complaint that was being filed in federal court. he said under oath to the best of my knowledge, the facts in this complaint are true. and that wasn't the case. the complaint included some statistics on voter fraud. it claimed that dead people were voting in and people formally convicted of felonies were voting in real estate really large numbers. tens of thousands of people in total. and trum health care plan previously been advised that those numbers were inaccurate. and we know that because that advice comes in this series of e-mails that is now being released. so it sort of an interesting situation, peter, to judge releases the e-mail because he

finds that e-mails were being used in furtherance of krin alt. it is less that finding about krin alt that matters. that won't have force, obviously, as doj and the fulton county da look ahead to whether to indict or not. the important thing is that new evidence has become available to them and it's very damaging evidence for the former president. >> jonathan, let me walk through as we talk about the former president. there are striking polls that come that find that 60% of americans want former president trum top testify. 77% of them want it to be done publicly. but public opinion really hasn't moved a ton since the hearings started here. what do you make of the latest figures? >> i think that, peter, first of all, the odds of donald trump testifying in public were not very, very slim. we don't need a poll there. though there was some report last week that suggested he would be open to it to get his story out. there they don't want him under oath.

they don't want him to take the fifth on stuff. that will be a bad spectacle for the former president as much as he does love the media spotlight. in terms of the overall numbers in terms of how the american public views january 6th and donald trump, yes, it's true, they have not changed much over the course of the committee hearings. doesn't that take away from what the committee has done. was it worng it? was it a waste of time? that is certainly not the case. they have the key information and the road map for the department of justice that they could pursue for criminal case. this is something that trump has to wear for -- after the nation watched i had were he to mount another presidential run in 2024. >> john than, you know, as we talk about the number 71% of americans say our democracy is under threat. but what is particularly striking is "the new york times" poll found that just 7% of americans call it the most important problem facing the country. obviously, we're dealing with the economy and inflation. reproductive rights are all among the issues here.

it may not be the driver for a lot of them come july. >> certainly threats the democracy. a few years ago, we never would have imagined that is a question we had to poll before a midterm election. that is the age we live in now post 2020 in january 6th. it's important full stop. but democrats do run the risk of only focusing on that. and there is some second guessing within the party that they have spent too much energy and time on the threat to democracy at the expense of other issues. of certainly abortion rights, another one near the top. we know, peter, as we hit the stretch run of this campaign, the economic issues, gas prices and inflation, that's number one. >> yep. jonathan, we appreciate your reporting as always. nice to see you. we appreciate all of your time here. coming up on msnbc, block vote.

i wasn't able to vote. >> i'm not sure, buddy. i don't know. >> and why now? this happened years ago. >> why now? why me? >> dude, these -- i have never seen these charges before in my entire life. >> joining me now is nbc news washington correspondent anchor and moderator of ""washington week"" on pbs and former congressman from florida, david jolly. we're here tokt on set. let's get you to. you had a chance to speak to the secretary of state of florida who defended these arrests. but first, clarify the confusion here and what the law in florida says about felons' rights to vote.

felons couldn't vote at first. then people pushed to get them voting rights. the people that were carved out were people with felony sex offenses and murderers. they cannot vote. they can never vote in florida. then you have the people, felon who's got the right to vote and people registered. they got voter id cards. they were able to vote. some people that are now being arrested in the florida governor says that it's all of these people that we're seeing on the cam ras and these body cameras. they are people not allowed to vote ever. they're saying this is really like giving someone a driver's license and saying by the way, we're arresting you for using that driver's license. i sat down with the florida secretary of state. take a listen to what he told me and how he defended the state's actions. >> what do you say that critics that the office of election and crimes and security and some call the he plection police force. that was created to establish a

false narrative, a political narrative about a problem that doesn't really exist? >> i think that is completely inaccurate. there are people that vote, that aren't entitled to vote. they shouldn't undermine someone who -- the legal vote of someone else. >> he said the unit is looking at the whole state. but he added that there will be more issues in bigger counties. this is mostly democratic, heavily populated areas. >> i no he what you're trying to say. >> that's what you said. >> that's not what i'm saying. that's where the volume s miami-dade county has a million and a half voters. >> so when they look at that and say you're going after democratic led counties, you're response is -- >> absolutely false. >> so there you have it. the secretary of state offering a full throated defense of the

late's laws and actions here. they tell me the people should have never been arrested in the first place. they're thinking that people that can still have their rights to vote, the felons watching this, the ones perfectly legal to vote, they'll be intimidated by watching people get arrested like this. >> they have to show they will fully committed fraud, right? >> they said we're going to fight the charges in court. the state gives you a voter id. they let you register. does all the things. can you go out and drive and then arrest you. that is a violation. >> david, let many he get your take on this. what do you make of the arrests and critics are calling this voter suppression. >> sure. this is a political stunt by a governor who has national aspirations and wanted to be seen as a heavy on rooting out voter fraud. the history here this is why it

is so cruel, peter. so in 2018, two-thirds of voters said let's restore rights for felons. the republican legislature says, well, okay. we heard you. but we're going to pass what is called implementing legislation that says maybe you have done your time. but if you still owe $1,000 or $3,000 or $5,000 in court fees, you're not eligible to vote. the irony here is some of the people that have been targeted for arrests, they register to vote because their county supervisor of election went to them and outreach to them to say you're now eligible. there was zero intent for the people to break the law. republicans have tried to make this hard. he knows that. he wanted a political story. he got one. but he did so creating cruelty for people to vote. and, yes, it's going to have an intimidation factor for others that are considering voting on november 8. >> let's go to the 35,000 feet for a skd and talk more widely. the former vice president, mike pence, is now continuing this balancing act ahead of a potential run for president. he was at georgetown university

in washington yesterday. a student there asked him about former president trump potentially running for president in 2024. i want you to see this and get your take on it. here's the exchange. >> if donald trump is the republican nominee for president in 2024, will you vote for him? >> well, there might be somebody else i prefer more. >> so that definitely wasn't a yes. that is the clearest indicator that he is eyeing his own presidential run. your take? >> you use the term balancing act. i say vice president he tried to have it both ways. he desperately wants to run for president. it's hard to say that trump shouldn't run if you're mike pence. the reality is there is very little lane for mike pence. he finally would finish in the single digits. he wants to run. but he can't justify supporting trump the last six years and not

supporting him this next cycle. >> they say they reject the 2020 election it's the other candidates they're looking athe supports positions on other topic. >> it shows me that we're still in this really tribal part of politics here. there are people who are looking at election deniers and say this is what the gop does. 45 states has people on the ballots this november that are election deniers. and they're still getting support. >> appreciate it. david, thank you for your time and speshgtive as well. by the way, you can watch more of the incredible special reporting on securing the vote. it will air tonight on "meet the press reports". that is tonight at 10:30 p.m. eastern. so what exactly is driving voters 19 days out from election day? harry smith traveled to battleground pennsylvania to find out for our series "power of the vote."

>> the city of york, pennsylvania, is home to a key moment in american history. here the articles of confederation were adopted. one of the first legal documents to include the words united states of america. but these days the words united and pennsylvania rarely occur in the same breath. >> climate change is definitely up there for me. reproductive rights, i think, is huge. >> our country needs that call back to our faith. >> the contest here between lieutenant governor john fetterman and dr. oz could very well determine control of the u.s. senate. but in york central market, what is top of mind is commerce. >> what kind of soup do you have? >> on tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays, dozens of small businesses run side by side. >> you get every walk of flif this market. >> susan is an artist. >> what it is like for you to

interact with all these different folks? >> i love it. because you can never -- it is so true. you can't judge a book by its cover. >> ryan wilson, a firefighter. his side hustle, a stand, not far away. >> a lot of the suppliers come from york or lancaster county. >> covid hit the market with a wall open. >> we're still slowly getting the customers back as they feel more comfortable. but it has been a struggle. >> for the most part, customers and vendors at the market check their politics at the door. >> i have central market politely told people that i didn't agree with what they said. >> it's a delicate balance. what we stand for often defines who we are. so we asked, not about the candidates whose names are on signs across the state, but the issues about which they care most deeply. enough to write on a sign of their own. >> so what color do you want? >> i'd like green. >> for the more liberal artist, suzanne. >> if you were to have a yard sign, what you would put on your

yard sign? >> integrity. i think integrity will touch on every issue. i think that's what we need to see more of. >> at home with ryan, would you describe yourself as a conservative? >> i would describe myself as catholic. >> what you are going to put on your sign? >> we're going to put choose life. we vote primarily pro-life. in our opinion, we believe that is the biggest issue that we face today. as a nation. >> at the market though politics does not collide with common purpose. >> does it matter to you that there are people around here who politics are completely different than yours? >> no. that doesn't sell my treats. it doesn't sell my treats. i figure to each their own. we're all entitled to our own opinion. the we're all old enough to treat each other with respect. >> united, every tuesday, thursday, and saturday.

we're back, and tens of thousands of residents of a key port city are being told to leave their homes in ukraine immediately. people living in kherson, which is currently under russian occupation, have been directed by russian forces to evacuate for fear of ukrainian counteroffensive. this comes as russian president vladimir putin announced russia would impose martial law on the four regions in ukraine that he illegally annexed. >> it seems his only tool available to him is to brutalize individual citizens in ukraine, ukrainian citizens, to try to intimidate them into capitulating. >> joinings us now, our reporter

on the ground, nbc's cal perry. he's in kyiv now where there were new strikes overnight. cal, help us better understand this. what is russia targeting right now? >> reporter: power substations, right? all the power substations you would see in any neighborhood in the united states is what they're trying to hit with these drones, with these rockets. and imagine what you see in your neighborhood, if they miss these power substations, more often than not, they're hitting residential buildings. the goal is to cut the power off, get people out of the city, make life so miserable that nobody can live here. >> that's a desperate situation. only seems to get worse there. people in kyiv are being told to turn off their electricity in effort to try to save power. what is the message, as you speak to residents there? obviously they are in this for the long haul. they have already sacrificed so much. but the situation just seems to get so much tougher each day. >> no, absolutely. and as you said, there's this

voluntary turn off your lights message from the mayor trying to get folks to turn off the electricity as much as they can. but then you have these now rolling blackouts. and the way it works is depending on where you live, you'll lose power for four hours each day at least one time. if this gets much worse, it'll be two times, then maybe three times, then you'll lose power entirely. that is the biggest fear on behalf of the government. people here view this as a thing they have to do. the war has now reached the home front. and out of solidarity, it is the least they can do. the reality is of course you have children here. you came back here. the schools were open. they're now shut. you don't have power, heat, water. it's starting to look like a long winter here. >> cal perry on the ground there. i know you were able to go where children were conducting drills in case of a potential nuclear strike. we'll watch for more of your reporting tonight on "nightly news." cal, thank you so much. that's going to do it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." i hope you'll follow the show
