♪ ♪ good day i'm chris jansing live at msnbc in new york city the markets have been all over the place today trying to make sense of the collapse of two massive banks over the weekend

the president says everything is under control. will that convince average americans? and why didn't anyone see this coming plus, roughly 17 million people facing flood watches today. the vast majority of them where flooding has already wreaked havoc in parts of california the atmospheric referring dropping another half foot of rain and compounding misery for towns under water. will donald trump's future be decided on the campaign trail or in the courtroom. the former president heads to iowa as his former fixer, michael, cohen, heads into a meeting with a new york grand jury we start with the question americans all over the country are asking, is my money safe the federal reserve and the president himself telling them the answer is yes. right now the dow is roughly flat following the collapse of two banks in recent days with several others suddenly on shaky ground in fact, some regional banks

have lost 60, 70, even 80% of their value. carol lee is covering the white house, stephanie ruhle is nbc senior business analyst and host of "the 11th hour. great panel to have. stephanie, if people come to you, and i'm guessing they already have, and say is my money safe, what do you say. >> just send it to mement that's what i said. before yesterday the fdic has always insured more than $250,000 for most people, you don't have more than that in your account what's happened over the last several days is one single bank changed the financial system maybe forever. the biden administration came in and said we're going to make you whole. we're going to guarantee the depositors of this bank that we're going to give you all your money. you're asking why are people panicked today

if you're the average american saying, hold on a second, joe biden just guaranteed people who go to silicon valley bank, but what about me? i go to a local community bank are they definitely going to guarantee me the president hasn't said that if congress wants to change its mind and say fdic insurance is going to be unlimited, that's something entirely different what you're seeing is a lot of people saying, it's good the biden administration did that for them, i'm not sure what it means for me you're seeing a lot of people continuing to pull their money out of smaller banks into the bigger banks that's not a good thing for the system, especially because they may not need to do it. >> let's look at an example of exactly what you're talking about. anna, this morning there was pictures out of wellesley, massachusetts. it shows people lined up outside the silicone valley bank branch trying to pull money out these pictures were taken right about the time the president was saying don't worry, your money

is safe. give me your sense of where we are? punchbowl did a deep dive on this >> absolutely. clearly a lot of anxiety just from the consumer front. that has a ripple effect when it comes to what washington is going to do in particular on the regulatory side. representative maxine waters, the top democrat on the house financial services committee was floating a couple different things, including saying fdic insurance should cover all deposits, not just the $250,000 amount you're going to see washington investigate, dig deeper in hearings on are these banks well capitalized enough what are the amount that regional and smaller banks should have? there's certainly going to be a lot of conversations about that. the treasury department is briefing republicans at noon today after frustration over the weekend, some of the briefings that republicans and their staff

didn't hear about. the administration is clearly trying to make an effort to make this less partisan and try to make sure that they feel like the republicans are in at this point. >> chris, there's one problem. let's say the government says we're going to guarantee all deposits up to nfinity if you own a bank, why not throw caution to the wind, i'm going to bet on black because if we lose it all, the government will backstop it. it's a great idea in theory. the devil is in the details. who is going to pay the price? are the executives at silicon valley bank going to pay the price, are regulators going to pay the price? at the end of the day, a lot of people lost out, but who else lost out, a lot of big tech companies that made bad decisions. this is highly political. >> let me ask you about something you said before, which is this could change the banking system forever how much of whether that happens

and how it happens depends on the first thing you said and the pictures we saw. if a lot of people suddenly go into their bank and put their money under the mattress or take it out of a small regional bank, maybe one that's actually really well run -- >> 100%. we don't want that to happen isn't the government trying to get away from monopolies what's happening right now is everybody floods and puts their money into three big banks, that's not what we want to happen it's complicated because you want those smaller and regional banks to exist in 2018 under trump they rolled back a bunch of dodd-frank regulations to make it easier for those banks to operate which makes sense. the answer isn't all regulation or no regulation it's smart regulation, and once you have regulation, the regulators need to do their jobs. >> carol, i want to play another part of what president biden said this morning. >> the bottom line is this, americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe your deposits are safe

let me also assure you we will not stop at this we'll do whatever is needed. >> carol, the president didn't take questions and he wasn't specific about what more his administration was willing to do so what do we know about what else might be on the table >> chris, the president was trying to instill confidence in consumers, to avoid all the scenarios we were just talking about. he's essentially saying or suggesting that if there were to be more incidents like this -- he's trying to isolate this problem, but if there were to be more incidents like this, he's suggesting he's willing to take additional steps and do more specifically what that is the white house has not said at the same time you have the president promising that taxpayers are not going to bear any burden of these costs. so that's something that he's going to be held to going forward regardless of what happens and what else -- additional crises the president might face in terms of the

banking system he's really trying to focus this on customers and small business. what the white house and administration don't want is to be tasked as the president bailing out big banks. he specifically said this is not for investors. they took a risk and they lost that's capitalism. that's what the president's message was. at the same time he's saying there will be a look back on how we got here, how this happened, saying he will ask congress and regulators to strengthen some o those rules and those who are at fault for this will be held accountable, chris. >> anna, there's fixable and then there's fixable but what is congress really willing to do. now, does this change the calculus at all? does it suddenly inspire some sort of bipartisanship if the phones are ringing off the hook with voters, constituents, worrying >> it's a little too early to

tell, to be honest the senate is in, just coming back they're hearing certainly from constituents the house is out this week just last week you had senator tim scott sending a letter about maybe not needing as much regulation here, not needing as much capital it's hard for me to see house republicans in particular make a big effort here which would be a necessary component for some kind of a bipartisan package i would look to the fact that a lot of republican leadership has been very quiet so far when it comes to calling for either more regulation or the fact that there's been a lot of criticism about this being a bailout or government intervention. so those kinds of words and those kinds of -- kind of the shadow boxing that happens in washington makes me skeptical at least in the short term that there's going to be any kind of large bipartisan package. >> so short of that, where are we going here, steph >> that remains to be seen when you talk about republican

leadership being somewhat quiet, on the senate side you might say because you're seeing a whole bunch of republicans running around with an argument that is absolutely nonsense. that this happened to silicon valley bank because it's woke. it's ridiculous. they were focused on having diverse candidates on their board. had they not been focused on dei, that would not have happened that's absolute nonsense and garbage. i can't imagine the likes of mitch mcconnell, tom tillis, john cornyn are going to buy into this. that's garbage why did this happen? because they had one single group, that's who all their depositors were, startups in tech they took the capital and bought right before the interest rate hike book, in the age of technology, there was a run on a ban that shot them down for any republican that's

arguing that it's because the bank was woke, find another argument. >> thank you, stephanie, carol, anna big story developing in california about the 17 million people under a flood watch right now and preparing for another atmospheric river that could dump eight more inches of rain that's on top of the mess weave already been reporting on for weeks. flooding so widespread the military reserve units mobilized to help can barely keep up with the rescues. officials say at least two people have died in the wake of these latest storms. in monterey county, more than a foot of rain caused a levee to breach, forcing thousands to evacuate in arkansas round the town of pajaro i have the director for crisis communications and public affairs, and niala charles >> reporter: the entire peja ro

been evacuated since friday when the levee breached now the water is still going through the town this car here just a small part of the damage we're seeing at this point officials haven't been able to assess the level of the damage to the homes because they haven't been able to get to the homes. residents here still don't know when they will be able to return officials tell us they are working to repair that levee breach, but it could be days until that's repaired. we're just learning, chris, very troubling information from the u.s. army corps of engineers, that they've known the levies across the pajaro river were -- they're using federal funds to elevate the repairs and make sure their happen more quickly

still here with another atmospheric river expected later this evening, officials say they are worried more rivers could breach, creating more damage to homes flooding and also potentially more contaminated water. here in pajaro residents are only able to drink bottled water. chris. >> thank you so much for that, niala. brian, that leads me to this question, how concerned are you, how concerned is the state about the possibility of more breaches >> we're very concerned. all across our state we're experiencing weather whiplash, not just from the storms that have come before but the storms we're experiencing now there's a very strong storm system that will make landfall later today. two-thirds of our counties in the state, more than 40 counties are under some form of emergency declaration. governor newsom activated our state emergency center behind us around the clock we've called in the national guard.

it's going to be all hands on deck for the next several days as we continue to experience very challenging climate-driven weather events in california. >> niala was standing on the street in water up to her knees. i've read first responders and others conducted at least 50 water rescues in waist-deep flooding how dangerous is the situation right now? >> it's very dangerous, not just what you're seeing there, but how widespread it is resources are being bushed to the limits counties from san bernardino in the south all the way up near the oregon border all have simultaneous impacts of this throwing everything we have at this, first responders, national guard, president biden approved an emergency declaration, so fema is on the ground here but the neighbor helping neighbor work over the next couple days will be vitally important. for californians, understanding if they're told to evacuate, get

out early because of the rains and the snows, just going to be a mess. >> are you finding up until now that folks are heeding calls for evac evacuations? >> our state has become so resilient because we've had wildfires, earthquakes and floods by and large californians are doing their best so far so good we continue to emphasize support for vulnerable residents, older californians, english as a second language. that work will continue in the days to come. >> as you watch the new weather system that's heading in, what areas are you watching most closely? >> central california where your reporter is, not far from where president biden visited last month all the way through the sierras and yosemite area, they'll get walloped again in the next couple days, the third successive storm, maybe even

another behind it. we'll be watching those areas closely, moving resources in early to try to get people out if the need happens and ultimately hope we work together to get through this together. >> i know you're in the middle of it right now, but assuming that you're able to really step back and take a look, are there already thoughts, conversations that california, and frankly you're not the only state, that california may have to totally rea reassess, the way we are with climate, the way money is appor apportioned? >> we've made monument al assessments as a state at the federal level, how we look at disaster recovery funding, these are events that aren't just what's happening this week, but the months and years that follow of getting the businesses, families back on their feet we'll need to work closely with our elected leaders to make sure there's programs in place to support these folks all up and down our state.

>> brian, i can't imagine you've been getting much sleep and probably won't for a little while. i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. brian ferguson, appreciate it. >> thank you. donald trump meets with voters as his former fixer meets with the grand jury. the new swipe from a former ally plus the idaho college murder case. warrants served to 60 different companies. what they could tell us and why the judge wants those warrants to stay secret. spring break fever the new safety warnings, though, from state and federal officials about traveling to mexico. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc ♪♪ the caggiano's. a family of long island brewers. harvests their own ingredients,

almost four months since an nouning his third run for president, donald trump meets tonight with iowa voters for the first time this cycle. his potential undeclared rivals have crossed the state on

several occasions. florida governor ron desantis over the weekend former trump vp mike pence has been there also this weekend pence went there, metaphorically speaking, went after his former boss that we haven't seen before, although behind closed doors. michael cohen going before a manhattan grand jury vaying accusations of hush money payments made to stormy daniels. he spoke with reporters a short time ago. >> i feel fine i feel fine. a little twisted, to be honest, inside it's been a long time coming >> what's your goal today? >> my goal is to tell the truth, allow alvin bragg and his team to do what they need to do i'm just here to answer questions. >> nbc's vaughn hillyard is in davenport, iowa. we're joined by former republican florida congressman david jolly. vaughn, what are we expecting from the former president

tonight? >> reporter: right these realities are running parallel to one another. michael cohen is going to appear in front of that grand jury for the first time since it was impanelled by alvin bragg in january. yet, donald trump is coming and making his first iowa stop of this presidential run here today in davenport, iowa folks are already gathering here the idea behind his event is to promote his education policy proposal he's calling for the elimination of federal funding to schools that, in his words, promote gender ideology and critical race theory. he's calling for the end of teacher tenure for k-12 teachers he's calling for principals at public schools to be elected by parents. this is part of what he outlines as his education policy. of course, to note, this is not one of his traditional mega rallies. the question is does he attempt to address these investigations into him at this event that his

campaign team would like to focus on policy, but it's hard to ignore when his former fixer and former lawyer is going before a grand jury to testify against him. >> david, i wonder how much his possible and real opponents might see an opening there let me ask you about the comments from mike pence at the gridiron dinner. again, behind closed doors but it was tougher than we've heard before from him about january 6th. let me quote make no mistake about it what happened that day was a disgrace it mocks decency to portray it in any other way what's his calculation now after a couple years >> i think there's a presumption that donald trump will likely be running for the gop nomination while under indictment the question is, will he be indicted for the stormy daniels hush money controversy, indicted for the trump business finances in manhattan will he be indicted for the georgia phone call, or will he be indicted for january 6th? what you saw from mike pence was the latter, which was to call

out donald trump's involvement in january 6th it's a risky move. up until now you have seen gop candidates go after ron desantis, not after donald trump. i would say there's a little bit from mike pence, this is someone who was there and had the opportunity to testify before doj and congress and has refusioned when he says history will judge donald trump, history only gets to judge that if the people who witnessed donald trump come forward, and pence hasn't come forward. >> yet he did say things that donald trump doesn't like. so far trump has mostly been going after ron desantis >> donald trump has been very undisciplined and running a horrible campaign, to be honest. the indictment itself could be this cultural moment where he says, the deep state is after me see, i told you. he's like the boxer hit in the tenth round pretty hard. if donald trump was not in this

race, this is a coronation for ron desantis the question is, there's only one person who can knock out ron desantis and it's donald trump he hasn't shown the ability to do it yet. >> vaughn, obviously david is right. there is a certain level of lack of discipline that we have seen throughout the time that donald trump has been in political life, but reporting now that the camp, the trump camp is hoping to take a more disciplined approach, particularly in iowa you rarely, if ever hear trump and discipline in the same sentence what are you hearing if they're going to try it at least, how are they going to do it >> reporter: right actually in 2022, last summer, they tried to roll out some of these policy-type events i was with him in las vegas where they attempted to focus on crime and bring a couple other folks on the stage that have kind of a roundtable conversation about these policy issues here. today's focus is education donald trump will then come to

the podium with the american flags behind him and address these issues this has been part of a rollout, a policy rollout over the last three months by his campaign, understanding the likes of ron desantis, mike pence, nikki haley are going to try to promote themselves as individuals who actually have the interests of legislating at hand ron desantis' legislature just got in session last week he's going to in the months ahead pull out what he claims to be policy wins this is donald trump's effort to counter that at the same time, we note the investigation is looming over him. if he were to be indicted, he can't run away from it while he has not publicly lashed out on camera to the extent somebody who may be fearful of being indicted would, on truth social he's been continuing over the last 24 hours to put quite stark posts out there. just to give you an idea, in all caps here, just in the last 20

minutes, he put one out, these four radical left investigations of your all-time favorite president, me, is a continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history of our country, particularly around the manhattan d.a.'s investigation regarding the hush money payments that went from donald trump to michael cohen to stormy daniels he says, quote, in all caps, stormy "horse face" daniels, extortion plot. all sick fake news. that's the mindset of the former president. he's denied ever having sex with stormy daniels he says this is a defamatory accusation against him it's within his right to make this payment there's a grand jury hearing evidence that will ultimately decide whether alvin bragg could bring an indictment against him. >> so whatever happens, david, in any of the investigations that are on going that you enumerated, the four of them, if it is simple for a mike pence or a ron desantis to say, voters,

you are tired of the drama i offer you an alternative i offer you policies, very similar in many cases to what donald trump's policies are, but without the xhaustion, without the drama. >> data suggests it's not enough what desantis and pence are hoping prosecutors will do is something they can't, knock out donald trump for them. the question for desantis and pence, how do they find their own lane when you run for president, you need to have a reason, you need to have a lane desantis is pursuing the culture wars mike pence can't be trump because he's attacking trump he can't be desantis because desantis owns that lane. you're seeing mike pence play the old evangelical, i'm the honest broker. i'm now going to call donald trump to task, be old faithful, not the guy that deals in hyperbole. with mike pence being the honest broker, he wasn't for four years. for the man that likes to quote

the bible. i would suggest go to galatians. confront your brethren when they do wrong, and matthew when it says, if they don't change course, go to the council, go to the congress, tell them what you know mike pence has not done that >> david, you're staying with me vaughn hillyard, always good to see you. thank you so much. appreciate it. relentless russian selling pushes ukrainians to evacuate a town that was liberated just months ago we have a live report from kyiv next to where they're going. and at chevron, we're working to help reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels that keep things moving. today, we're producing renewable diesel that can be used in existing diesel tanks. and we're committed to increasing our renewable fuels production. because as we work toward a lower carbon future, it's only human to keep moving forward.

>> reporter: hey, chris. this is likely one of the bloodiest battles of this war, if not the deadliest he described really harrowing conditions inside the city he said ukrainian fighters are fighting off the russian paramilitary forces street to street, house to house russians are coming from all directions yet ukrainian forces are standing firm despite being outnumbered. take a listen. >> the road to bakhmut is now -- we cannot stay safe, but it's okay we can use it. mack mute stands in bakhmut, you never feel the silence. you cannot enjoy -- >> reporter: he told me that essentially the entire western -- eastern rather, portion of the city has been

pulverized homes and buildings completely destroyed. as a result he said ukrainian forces having very little to fight for there, having very little to take cover, have retreated over the river that cuts down the center of the city, taking up positions to the west in large buildings that line that riverbank. they've effectively set up a killing zone there where any number of russian soldiers have perished there have been heavy losses on the ukrainian side as well he was describing some of the casualties he told me they're running low on ammunition, running low on weapons on the ukrainian side. he said in a war like this, you always need more now, this battle has come under some criticism by military experts. they say that bakhmut has very little strategic value to either the russians or the ukrainians, and yet the ukrainians, despite

being out nnumbered, refuse to retreat. he was telling me he can see the russian forces are being exhausted, which is part of the reason ukrainian leadership sees this as important, to exhaust those russian forces ahead of the planned ukrainian counteroffensive in the spring chris. >> erin mclaughlin, thank you for that reporting. new search warrants issued to dozens of companies as prosecutors try to build their case against the idaho college murder suspect why the judge is ordering those warrants to remain secret next

connection with the murder case against bryan kohberger. >> all rise. >> reporter: among those served tech names like apple, amazon, google and doordash. social media companies, meta, snapchat and tinder. some requesting bank and social media information about the victims. >> trying to find out if there's a hidden link. >> they will never be forgotten. >> the four college students were found stabbed to death last november authorities haven't publicly released a motive but allege kohberger stocked their house at least a dozen times before the murders and even went back to the house after the murders. this could help them piece together a stronger digital footprint. >> they're going all in, if you will, gathering every single

piece of evidence so if any doubt is raised, that i will be ready. >> reporter: we're learning new details about what what kohberger was doing at his parent's house in pennsylvania the 28-year-old wearing gloves while separating his trash >> mr. kohberger was found awake in the kitchen area, dressed in shorts and a shirt and wearing latex medical type gloves. apparently was taking his personal trash and putting it into separate zip lock baggy. >> reporter: the monroe county district attorney calling that behavior significant for the investigation. >> to me that's incredibly damning. shows a consciousness of guilt that he was making sure his dna didn't end up in the trash. >> reporter: other search warrants show what police did seize in pennsylvania, including a gun and knife, black face masks and gloves, cell phone, multiple laptops and a book with underlining on page 118. investigators also say they found a shovel in kohberger's

car and seized the headrest, seatbelt, brake and gas pedals. >> that was gadi schwartz reporting. joining me is civil rights attorney and prosecutor david henry. if you were prosecuting this case, what would you tell the jury about him taking his personal trash and putting it in separate zip lock bags >> chris, i think it definitely tells you there's something he plans to hide. part of the difficulty of this case so far. it goes to some of the issues we'll talk about as a prosecutor, my first step is to assume the lawyers on the other side are z as clever as i am and hard working as i am. one of the challenges with the case, the most damning evidence is the dna found on the knife sheath which you can't tie directly to him, but close enough to know you've got your guy. this comes down to whether or

not you can prove he intentionally caused all four of those deaths the evidence right now does not quite get you there. that's why they're going out searching for additional information to make those connections in court. >> let's talk about the stuff that might be connected directly to the suspect, these new warrants that are going to remain secret because, quote, they contain highly i undntimat facts or might endanger the life of safety of individuals could they also help the prosecution's case and protect it >> absolutely. here is what it all comes down to, chris. you talk about motive two times when you're a prosecutor, either one when you're on tv. jurors bring those experiences with them into the courtroom the other time you talk about it is when you can't clearly establish everything you need to, to feel confident walking in before you try your case two recent examples, in the murder of ahmaud arbery, the

prosecutor was accused of not talking about the crime wasn't racially moat vaed she thought she didn't need to because she had it on video tape you had a weak link to him and physical evidence related to the murders here prosecutors are trying to develop more to establish motive so they can convince a jury down the road. >> there's a preliminary hearing set for june, we're being told it could last an entire week how much more are we likely to learn during that process? >> i'd say we'd learn a lot if these records are going to be unsealed basically idaho court administrative rule 32 says court filings generally are accessible to the public there are six exceptions, the two you mentioned, intimate facts or threatening the safety of individuals, are two reasons it can be withheld since the information is going to be withheld here, i think it should be because you don't want to explain to a young person's

seven-person field back with us to talk about this trend former florida representative david jolly so it's not like he's the head of the elections and can change the outcome, but what does this tell us? and what's the concern >> well, i think the other six or at least five of them were at least election deniers that he bested for the top job in colorado i'd liken it in 2010 when the pea party emerged, the republican party, the elders, the establishment, whatever you called them, wanted to pretend it wasn't happening of the fast forward to 2014, 2016, in fact the tea party began to run the party. election denialism is now doctrine in today's republican party. kevin mccarthy, mitch mcconnell and others can deny it, but this is the future of the gop. >> so we saw with our own eyes what that translated to january 6th. now we have mike pence, who was there, talking about exactly what happened and what it meant, his family's life was at risk. we knew that

2024 up and down the ballot, is it to some extent going to be a referendum on whether or not you believe 2020 was alegitimate election >> i hope it is for the nation but i don't think it is for the republican party arguably tucker carlson's voice is stronger than mike pence's right now in the conservative movement and denialism about the election also trends to denialism about january 6th. this is where if mike pence wants to make a difference for all of american history, his voice is not to go to th gridiron club, it's to go to congress, it's to go to prosecutors and tell them what he knows about the former president's involvement. there is nobody that can draw a line quicker to an indictment of donald trump than mike pence. >> we've been seeing what was said on the air isn't what's said privately how much of that is going on in the republican party >> it's amazing. it used to be policy we're going to hit obama on

immigration but not do anything about it ourselves now we know these falsehoods exist but we're going to use them to get elected. the raw duplicity of it captures our imagination, but the danger is in what it contributes to which is a violent insurrection on january 6th that could happen again. >> david jolly, always good to have you but particularly in person thanks for coming by i appreciate it. west virginia is now the latest state to target transgender health care with a bill banning gender-affirming care for transyouth. the governor has yet to sign it, but it is being watched closely because one study concludes west virginia has more transgender youth per capita than any other state in the country republicans have introduced more than 300 bills in 33 states aiming to limit transgender and lgbtq rights this year, more than double the number in 2022 stark new warnings from
