tv Andrea Mitchell Reports MSNBC May 1, 2023 9:00am-10:00am PDT
9:00 am
. >> there's always people less fortunate than ourself, but you need to be one of those individuals that puts your hand out for the greater good. >> there's always good news. that wraps up the hour. you can reach me on twitter and instagram. you can watch highlights on today's show online. thank you for the privilege of your time. andrea mitchell picks up with more news right now. another major takeover of a failed u.s. bank. the second largest in u.s. history at the fdic steps in late sunday night and gets jpmorgan to buy the assets. this as the president and congress face a looming showdown over the debt ceiling.
9:01 am
man hunt. another incident of a mass shooting over a neighborhood dispute. the search is on in texas for a suspect who allegedly murdered five of his neighbors friday including a 9-year-old boy using an ar 15 style rifle after a neighbor asked the suspect to stop shooting his gun outside because of it was keeping their baby awake. texas governor greg abbott facing criticism for calling the mass shooting victims illegal immigrants and president biden confronting the age issue head on at the white house correspondents dinner. >> they say i'm over the hill. don lemon would say that's a mine in his prime. >> good day. federal regulators have stepped in to rescue first republic
9:02 am
bank. it has been sold to jpmorgan chase after losing nearly $100 billion of its deposit this is year. the takeover insuring customers have access to their uninsured deposits. the third major bank to go under this year. this comes after the federal reserve in a scathing report on friday took much of the blame itself for the collapse of silicon valley bank in march. joining me now, cnbc senior markets correspondent, dominic chu, monica alba outside the white house. what does this takeover mean? how are the markets reacting to it? does this end the crisis or just another step in spreading crisis? >> those are all good questions. and i'll start with it by saying to try to answer all of them that this deal for jpmorgan
9:03 am
chase to require them to buy after they held an auction where some other banks participated as well to see if they would want to buy those first republic assets. now, jpmorgan will get all of those deposits and substantially all the assets at the bank as well. now to put that in numbers terms, that's roughly $92 bill in deposits and that includes the 30 billion and other banks put into first republic last month as a sign of faith in the bank. it will also take on around $173 billion in loans outstanding that first republic has put out there and $30 billion in a securities portfolio. now, in order to get this deal done, jpmorgan and those federal regulators at the fdic both agreed to share in any potential future losses on any of those first republic loans i mentioned. things like mortgages, also
9:04 am
commercial real estate. so what this does mean is that anyone who is a customer who has deposits at first republic will continue using the bank just like they always have and because it will eventually become part of jpmorgan chase once all the integration is done, all those customer deposits will be held at jpmorgan chase, which is viewed as one of the if not strongest american bank. now the fdic does, andrea, estimate that this will cost the deposit insurance fund roughly $13 billion roughly the cost for silicon valley, which is estimated at $20 billion. you may recall back during the great financial crisis, the biggest bank failure was washington mutual and it was none other than jpmorgan chase that came in to rescue that bank. >> is this a good deal for jpmorgan chase? bottom line. there are a lot of risk
9:05 am
involved? for them or are they just being good citizens? >> thanks for having me. jamie dimon on a call this morning said it would be a good deal for the bank. it was a competitive situation. i think the story really is when you look at first republic, what happened is we had an earthquake when silicon valley bank failed in mid march and earthquakes can destabilize other buildings around the epicenter of that quake and that's what happened here to first republic. they lost $100 billion in deposits. that was a cheap source of funding for the bank. they were able to replace that money with more expensive loans from the federal reserve but when they reported earnings last week and made clear the extent of just how much money had gone out the door after the failure of svb, people began to say wait a minute. is this bank really viable? is there a franchise here that makes sense? you just saw the stock tank as
9:06 am
the week wore on last week, andrea. >> and dom, before, i want tot to ask you how the markets are reacting? >> when it comes to first republic, there is intrinsically no value left in this stock. you might see quotes for it come out there but generally speaking, the markets did expect this. this didn't come out of left field and to nick's point, we've been seeing a steady slide in the value of first republic's equity, its stock. then all of a sudden, it's just been going down and down and down in a straight line ever since. this has been anticipated. what's curious now is what it does to the sentiments around the markets overall. other regional banks have been caught up in that earthquake that nick mentioned for these particular moves tied to silicon valley bank, but unlike first republic, many of these regional banks that have reported earnings over the past couple of weeks have actually shown their
9:07 am
deposits have stabilized. in certain cases for certain west coast lenders considered peers of first republic or silicon valley bank, they've actually said in the last few weeks they've seen customer inflows for deposits. >> monica, one of the things specialists i've spoken to are concerned about is that the markets aren't yet reacting to the possibility of default. the debt ceiling crisis not getting resolved. and whereas you know, washington usually resolves this thing at the last minute. are there any signs yet between speaker mccarthy and the president of the united states that the president is going to negotiate now? that the speaker thinks he's got some leverage because of having squeaked through that budget plus debt ceiling combo last week? >> that is the absolute critical
9:08 am
backdrop to all of this in this important conversation you're having here, andrea. the fact that we are nearing what would be these extraordinary measures. this is a president and administration that has said we will not negotiate when it comes the debt ceiling but we're really seeing that being tested now as speaker mccarthy has gone out and said that he would like to sit down and talk about not just that, but the budget. so this is now a white house that essentially is going to have to confront that though they have been in terms of being consistent, saying we don't know if we're going to invite speaker mccarthy because we don't feel there's any room for negotiation if indeed the u.s. were to default for the first time in history. so i think you can expect the president to continue to reiterate that message when he's in the rose garden here shortly
9:09 am
for national small business. he's going to continue to hit republicans and echo that message from the white house last week, specifically on that bill you mentioned saying that if that were to become reality at some point, it would be small businesses like the one he's going to highlight today that could suffer. so he's going to take all of this, bring it together, andrea, essentially in what you could call this rose garden campaign strategy since he announced his re-election last week and like ly will see for months to come. >> i think there's going to be measure pressure because congress is home this week. they're going to hear from constituent, small businesses and bankers. people are generally getting the word from back home. they want talks to take place. some negotiations. dominic, monica, great to see you all. thank you for kicking it off. the president's comes to the rose garden at any moment now. he'll speak about small business
9:10 am
week but more broadly about this whole debt ceiling deal and what's going on in the economy and what they say they have accomplished. manhunt. texas police are tracking down a man who allegedly shot and killed five of his neighbors. the fbi now involved. a reward on his head. one of the victims, a 9-year-old boy. back in 60 seconds. stay with us. boy. back in 60 seconds stay with us so, you found the no7 then... it's amazing! hydrates better than the expensive stuff i don't live here, so i'm taking this and whatever's in the back. it's already sold in the us. but i'm not taking any chances. the uk's #1 skincare has crossed the pond. this week is your chance to try any subway footlong for free. like the subway series menu. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. everyone loves free stuff chuck. can we get peyton a footlong? get it before it's gone. on the subway app. wayfair has nice prices get it before it's gone. so you can have nice things. hah! kelly clarkson, we have a kid...

9:12 am
clothing, they distributed pictures as you just saw. he is a very distimt tattoo on one arm. there's a reward leading to the capture of the suspect. over the weekend, one man who lost both his wife and 9-year-old son as we just mentioned, broke down at a vigil for the victims in a heartbreaking scene. joining me now is priscilla thompson in houston, texas. what do we know about the victims, the shooter and talk to me about the governor's engagement in this. >> yeah, so i want to talk fers first about the victims. there were a total of ten people in this home. five were killed. i believe we have photos of those five victims. i had an opportunity to speak with the father of the 9-year-old who lost his life and his son and he tells me his son saw his mother being shot and fall to the ground and that is when he ran to her to try to protect her and that is when the
9:13 am
shooter shot him. that father today is just heartbroken over all of this and i asked him what his message is to the shooter and he said that he hopes he will turn himself in because he doesn't want anyone to feel the pain that he is feeling right now. but for now, that has not happened. the hunt is continuing for this 38-year-old suspect, francisco. there are more than 250 officers on the ground in cleveland, texas working to just scour that area. speaking to neighbors, searching homes and cars, doing whatever they can to find the suspect. we know that governor abbott released a statement and he referred to these five victims as quote five illegal immigrants. we know police have identified them as being honor honor duran nationals.
9:14 am
he said texas justice will be delivered to this shooter and we have confirmed the suspect in this case have been deported four times and somehow made his way back to this case. i want to play a little bit of what the sheriff had to say about that and particularly, the immigration status of those victims. >> my heart is with this 8-year-old little boy. i don't care if he was here legally. i don't care if he was here illegally. he was in my county. five people died in my county and that is where my heart is. as it stands, police say they have zero leads. the fbi says they feel this suspect may start trying to reach out to friends and they're hoping with that reward now out there, someone will come forward with a tip that could lead to his arrest. andrea?
9:15 am
>> is there more reaction, the sheriff was obviously emotional about this and he was talking about this child as a victim. and as a victim that we can all feel for and in fact two of the women killed were killed protecting their children. lying over their little ones. that's how they met their deaths. is there any other public reaction there in texas to what the governor had to say? >> people are in shock. i was at a diner yesterday speaking to the community and there were people echoes what we hear from the governor but some who say they're completely in shock about this. this is a rural community. a lot of people have guns and fire them in their front yards but never would have expected something like this would happen, andrea. >> thank you so much. for everything you're doing down

9:21 am
finished. it is for tucker carlson. >> he wasn't pulling any punches. joining me now, sabrina and peter. sabrina, you were in the room. how was that routine received at the white house and the white house strategy? >> i think that the president's remarks were well received by those in the room and clearly, there was an effort to poke fun at the conversation you've seen ahead of the election around his age and the idea that his age is a liability. you saw the president there say it's not a liability. it shows the experience that i hold and that's something he really made that same case when he was running in 2020 obviously the dinner is about press freedom. that's important when you look
9:22 am
at the president's remarks. something that was so important of course was having the white house and the association really demonstrate freedom of the press at a time when our colleague, evan, has been detained in russia. you've seen a record number of journalists be detained around the world. so having that contrast at the dinner where you have the highest office in the land showing its support for press freedom when it's come under attack. i think that was one of the most important takeaways from saturday night's dinner. >> peter, just how is the president going to overcome the enthusiasm gap among voters? >> i think that's an important issue but they're looking at 2020. the lesson was you may not like joe biden or may not be excited by joe biden. you're really, really not going to want to have donald trump come back. that will in fact be its own excitement generator in effect. it's a negative excitement
9:23 am
generator, but it's what worked in 2020. if trump is the nominee next year and he's the favorite at the moment, that's the best strategy they're going to have. liberals andprogressive will make clear how much they don't want biden to come back. >> "the wall street journal" hosted evan's parents, which was very moving as well. and what was a sign of hope for them and for austin tice's mother. he's been in syria, "washington post" contributor, for 11 years in captivity. but what was hopeful that brittney griner was right there in the audience. this was part of the president's message. >> our message is this. journalism is not a crime. evan and austin should be
9:24 am
released immediately after long with every other american held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. tonight, unlike last year, brittney griner is here with her wife. brittney, where are you, kid? stand up. come on. love this woman. >> it was really amazing. to see her there with her wife. happy. talking to everyone who came by. we chatted. for those of us who have been covering the greiner story, it was so reaffirming to see her being so happy. >> it was a very powerful moment
9:25 am
especially when you think about everything brittney griner and her family have been through and we're having this conversation around americans and individuals more broadly who have been held hostage in hostile environments and wrongfully detained. although she's not a journalist, there was that underlying message around press freedom. i wanted to come to for a moment because the committee to protect journalists found that in 2022, 363 journalists were detained in more than 30 countries. that is a significant uptick from previous years. as you've seen this rise in nationalism around the world, that's also been paired with democratic backsliding. really a crackdown on the freedom of the press. so i think that was really something that everyone in that room was thinking about. especially with family members, austin tice, his family members and evan. we were really just hoping of course that they will be released soon but everyone is also preparing for a long road ahead and everyone's message is
9:26 am
that journalism is not a crime. no one should be arrested for doing their jobs. >> sabrina and peter, thank you both so very much. and president biden's about to speak at the white house to recognize national small business week. we'll bring you his comments as soon as he begins. but first, may day. the anger in france over the move to increase the retirement age to 64 from 62. fuelling massive protests and may day is always a day of protests so it's even more intense today. the latest in a live report from paris coming up next right here on "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. here on "andrea mitelchl reports" on msnbc. glass damage, trust safelite. we'll replace your windshield, and recalibrate your advanced safety system. so automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning work properly. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

fury over president macron raising the retirement age. richard engel is on the streets of paris. it's mayhem there. >> reporter: we are in the end point of the demonstrators and here, there have been running clashes for the last hour between demonstrators and police. you can see some of the tear gas or if you wait a couple of minutes, you'll see a lot of tear gas. the demonstrators also lighting fires. according to organizers, more than 2 million people nationwide have taken to the streets to oppose this law that changed the retirement age from 62 to 64. the law hasn't been implemented yet and the reason they're trying to bring this country to a standstill is to prevent the law from being implemented but so far, the government is showing no signs of backing down. macron and his supporters say this change is necessary because if they keep going as the way things are, they will not be able to afford the current pension system. but people here say they will
9:32 am
continue to demonstrate. organizers from different, from labor unions say they'll also try to cut the electricity for several upcoming events including the french open. they want to block the construction sites at the, for the olympics and they want to cut the power to the cannes film festival. here, there have been clashes but in other areas, the mood has been quiet, festive. organizers say that there are about 500,000 people on the streets here in paris alone although the police numbers are far lower than that. >> richard, is may day a holiday there or are these people all just out as protesters on the streets? >> this is generally a holiday here and there are demonstrations in many cities across the country. and this is a traditional time
9:33 am
when people from labor unions come out into the streets. i'm being told the police could charge in this direction so we need to watch out. yes, it is a holiday and because of this traditional labor day holiday, more people are coming out. particularly this year. to call attention to the new, to the new law. over here some of the tear gas was just coming in. [ bombing ] one more time? >> let me let you go. i know you've got to move. i think, not sure you can hear me. okay, richard. thank you very much. the crowd's beginning to move. thank you. as you can imagine, it's quite wild. the president was referring to this jokingly in contrast or rather the canadian. the president is at the podium right now. >> before we start, i'm pleased
9:34 am
to say that the regulators have taken action to facilitate the sale of first republic bank. to make sure all the depositors are protected and taxpayers aren't on the hook. those actions are going to make sure that the banking system is safe and sound and that includes protecting small businesses who need to make payroll for their workers and small businesses. let me be clear, while depositors are being protected, shareholders are losing their investments and taxpayers are not the ones on the hook as i said earlier. going forward, i called on congress to give regulators the tools to hold executives accountable to supervision of
9:35 am
large and regional banks. folks, we have to make sure we're not back in this position again. i think we're well on our way to make that assurance. as i said to my introducer, jill, a moment ago. she's really impressive, isn't she? the guy sitting next to her, if you disagree with me, it's her husband and you're in deep trouble. welcome, man. speaking of small business, you've got your own small business and i want to thank you. look, folks, we've got a lot to do. and most immediate thing we can do is ensure the continuing alliance of our economy and financial system. most important thing we have to do in that regard is to make sure the threat by the speaker of the house to default on the national debt is off the table. for over 200 years, america's
9:36 am
never, ever failed to pay its debt. to put it in capital and cloakal terms, america is not a debt beat nation. we have never, ever failed to meet the debt. one of the most respected nations in the world. we pay our bills and we should do so without reckless hostage taking from the maga republicans in congress. we're all here today because i want to thank jill and all of you. jill was last year's winner for her introduction and for the hope your business gives so many families that so badly need it. they really do. my daughter's a social worker working with abused women in philadelphia and it's her passion, but there's so much we can do if we just have the where with all to reach out. thanks to administrator guzman for leading this effort to

9:39 am
we see in business like again with -- >> as you just heard the president say, the debt ceiling crisis is fast approaching. speaker mccarthy and president biden in a standoff over who's going to blink first. the speaker did squeak through a massive spending cut proposal which the white house called a nonstarter. because it included all those budget cuts. the president is holding out for the usual package of raising the debt ceiling then separately work together on a budget. in israel today, the speaker telling reporters he has not spoken to reporters about the debt ceiling for 80 days. >> what was your second question? debt limit. the president still hasn't talked to me. i'm like netanyahu. i'm concerned about the debt ceiling. i have been from the moment i became speaker. that's why on february 1st, i went to see the president and said we should sit down and solve this problem. look, the debt is a big challenge for america. we're going to have to come
9:40 am
together to solve it. the only way you solve problems is you negotiate and i'm looking forward to the president changing his mind and negotiating with us. >> joining me now is nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent, garrett haake and brandon. garrett, what are the potential paths to congress raising the debt ceiling? the debt limit to cover past spending you should point out. my reporting from democrats is that some of them are beginning to pressure the white house to begin negotiating. you can't keep saying you're not going to negotiate because the crisis is pending. >> yeah, i think for a lot of those democrats and perhaps for the white house, it's how do you negotiate with republicans on the debt ceiling without calling it that. democrats are hopeful that republicans as we get closer to
9:41 am
an ex date will blink and raise the debt ceiling without preconditions. that has happened in the past but might involve something like mitch mcconnell trying to get involved on the senate side. republicans are hopeful they can get mccarthy in a room with joe biden and negotiate some kind of package that raises the debt ceiling for our past debts while limiting our future spending. how much leeway mccarthy would have in those negotiations with those members is an open question. somewhere in the middle is probably where we're likely to end up perhaps with a shorter term extension of the debt ceiling that allows for more time to discuss budget matters, spending matters in the future. but how do you do that without either side appearing to back down or blink especially after joe biden has reannounced his re-election. it is a thorny problem, andrea, and one with a due date that we're likely to find out as
9:42 am
early as perhaps this week. >> brendan, listen to what chris coons, democrat, great friend of the president from delaware said yesterday on abc. >> the republicans are demanding hodge negotiations where they will crash the full faith and credit of the united states. that would raise the rates that your viewers are paying on credit cards or student loans or mortgages. it would throw our country into recession and hurt us globally. >> and from the republican point of view, congressman steve scalise had this to say. >> we passed a bill to address the problem. it's time now for the president to get in this game. get off the sidelines and let's start negotiating not in june when we get to the midnight hour, but today. >> there's been time to get this done. >> where's the off ramp? >> well, actually, expect the president to sort of take it soon. i don't think he was going to give mccarthy the satisfaction
9:43 am
of passing a bill then just calling him up and inviting him to the white house. but hopefully someone in the white house understands that while yes, the debt limit has always been raised, it is typically raised attached to something else. a debt limit particularly for republicans is one of the hardest things we ever do and to make it more politically easy to go down, you tend to attach it to something. whether it's a budget deal. either spending cuts or even some just other fiscal measure. mccarthy is trying to solve a real policy issue, but more than anything, he has a political problem. he's trying to solve it. he's trying to demonstrate he's serious about this. that he wants to get it done. he needs the white house to engage with him. he needs to have some package they can attach so he can bring it back and say look, i got something for this. i think whatever he's going to get for it is going to be slim. it's not going to be satisfying to republicans, but he needs something. pretty soon, they'll start
9:44 am
having conversations. >> when we refer to what was passed last week, 217-215, it's pretty clear that speaker mccarthy does not have a majority to really get that through once it gets specific and they have actual details in there. and he got yes votes with some people who don't like things in it, but that to come up with a final version might be difficult. he needs democrats. >> that's absolutely going to be the case. there were a number of far right lawmakers who said they would not vote for anything less conservative than the bill they've voted for. mccarthy used up his sort of four no votes that he can have on a will that gets only republican votes. the challenge he faces, if he were to go to his conference and say i have this deal, we're going to need democrats to pass it, he has this thing over his head here, the idea that one any
9:45 am
republican member could call for a vote of no confidence in his speakership. part of the arrangement he made with the conference to get that job. a very, very difficult position. but he's going to need the democratic votes. he'll need a deal of some kind to actually lift the debt ceiling. >> we have breaking news about maryland senator, ben cardin. also three-term governor jay insly. >> two big political retirements. a lot of folks got to know him. the governor of washington state says he will not seek an additional term. he ran mostly on climate issues. a big signal issue voter. candidate rather. did not make it particularly far in the democratic primary and ben cardin, who has been a member of congress for almost as long as i've been alive. serving maryland in the house and senate. i believe the senate for three terms now. says he will not seek a fourth term in the senate. the list of democrats who are likely to run for what many believe would be a safe blue democratic seat, i could probably think of half a dozen
9:46 am
off the top of my head right now. that will be one of the primaries to watch next election cycle. >> garrett, brendan, thanks to both of you. and mistrial denial. the judge in the president trump cales refusing to grant a mistrial. s refusing to grant a mistrial diabetes can serve up a lot of questions, like, "what is your glucose?" and "can you have more carbs?" before you decide... with the freestyle libre 2 system know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes with more confidence. and lower your a1c. the number one doctor prescribed cgm. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us age is just a number, and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor.

9:50 am
cross-examination. very intense. this is her third day on the stand. former president trump's attorneys are going through her testimony, her life, her politics, her friends, her columns. every aspect of her life. meticulously trying to point out inconsistencies and things she's said over the years and trying to attack her credibility. they're trying to convince the jury about her story of being attacked in the dressing room in the mid 1990s is just unbelievable. right now, they're talking, questioning her about the reaction to her book. when it came out in 2019. and how she did so many interviews and there were a lot of parties and it was a big success and so on and so forth. it brought her a lot of status. a lot status, brought her a lot of positive press. they're trying to make the point to the jury that that's why she put this allegation in this book, allegedly, for status, to get more of the spotlight. they questioned her about her
9:51 am
politics and at one point made her -- she made the confession or acknowledged the fact that she decided to sue former president trump after meeting george conway, a prominent anti-trump attorney at a party. they're trying to make connections like that. they made a connection that after the alleged attack in the mid 1990s that she did, in fact, shop at bergdorf goodman's on a number of occasions, 23 occasions or so, suggesting to the jury this would not be something she would do if she had been violently attacked at that particular location. she's had answers to everything. she's not a witness who answers yes or no. shh's trying to give as much as she's saying, consistently saying that president trump raped her and then defamed her, called her a liar, drug her name through the mud, and that's why she's here, she says, and why we're all here. again, expect the cross examination to continue into the
9:52 am
afternoon and then redirect. >> thanks to ron. that's the kind of questioning that rape victims often get. it's really tough. it's why a lot of women don't report rapes it's why one of her friends told her in the immediate aftermath, don't tell police. to suggest someone would go back to an enormous store that's a full square city block because this happened 20 years earlier in a dressing room -- >> and she's made that point. >> -- is very strange. >> she's made that point. there's some question about why joe tacopina has been the one to do this cross examination. every point he's tried to score, she's had an answer for. her own attorney is trying to get out all the evidence, in anticipation of where he would go. it's a lot less heated than it was on the stand last week when
9:53 am
she was sobbing and she was very upset. today she's very composed, calm. there aren't raised voices. it's interesting to watch the judge in this case checking tacopina repeatedly about some of his questioning, essentially telling him to move on. >> in front of the jury, obviously. >> in front of the jury. >> the judge is a really important arbiter here because he did deny the request for the mistrial. what was the substance? >> the idea was that some of his rulings hadn't been favorable to the defense team. joe tacopina filed it earlier this morning undoubtedly knowing he's not going to win it, but is laying the groundwork for appeal. they have to make a record of all the evidentiary objections that the judge didn't go for. the judge didn't describe why he was denying the miss stliel manner. it was done in a cursory manner and everyone kept going. >> how much longer is this going to go on? there has to be the defense
9:54 am
case, obviously. that will largely be the former president's deposition. >> yes. he was supposed to say last week whether or not he was going to come to trial. the assumption has been that he's not going to. the judge pressed the defense to tell me, look, you've got to tell me, there are security implications if he's going to come. i don't know that they've put that on the record. i would suspect they'll play his deposition testimony and he won't come in person. >> in fact, he did announce today on truth social, i think he's in scotland, ireland, he'll be there through thursday. he pointedly said he's surveying what he said were his great properties, a golf resort. >> this is something you'll hear in closing arguments, hear her likely say he's been everywhere in the world except in this courtroom to face this charge, on the campaign, to a boxing match, but not this trial. interesting to see how the jury

treats that. >> laura jarrett, great to see you, thank you. the state department confirming today this terrible news that an american citizen has been killed in ukraine. a spokesman declined to share any more information but says they are in touch with the family. meanwhile, air raid sirens blaring across ukraine overnight after a second wave of russian attacks in three days. this time ukraine says its armed forces were able to use tracer information to shoot down 15 of 18 russian cruise missiles. the missiles that were not intercepted did cause injuries and damage in eastern ukraine. on a busy day with a presidential speech, that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow us online, online, and on twitter. @mitchellreports. lindsey reiser and "chris
