>> many hoping to ride out this tidal wave of demands like nick. >> i wish i could afford a mini van with a lot less mileage. >> when the road to ownership is a little smoother. we have a lot to cover in our second hour of chris jansing reports. let's get right to it. at this hour, a critical update out of allen, texas, where for the first time, we'll hear from one of the survivors and the hospital staff who responded to the mass shooting at an outlet mall this month. a press conference is set to start any minute now. and shaking walls and ar raid sirens. ukrainian air defense shot down missiles aimed at kyiv. creating another nightmare scenario there overnight. we'll have a live report on the ukraine from the capital. plus, from the u.s. with love. the cia just rolled out a new

video campaign offering russians a secure way to safely share secrets about the war in ukraine. inside that strategy, next. and the critical meeting in the next 60 minutes between president biden and kevin mccarthy over the debt ceiling. what we just learned from an influential member of congress. our nbc reporters are following all of the latest developments for us. let's start at the white house where against backdrop of a slightly nervous wall street, that high level, high stakes meeting is about to get underway with the full faith and credit of the u.s. at stake. monica alba joins us with more. so, monica, what is the white house saying ahead of this meeting? >> well, much like last week when we were in this exact position, chris, when the president had invited the top congressional leaders to come to the oval office for this meeting, remember that white house officials lowered expectations, saying there wouldn't be a major breakthrough as a result of this meeting. we are in a very different place

now even though the staffs have been daily getting together, huddling, trying to iron out what kind of areas of common ground the two sides can agree on. there hasn't been that much progress except that the talks have continued. so today is a really pivotal moment in these conversations. we are hearing from the white house essentially but they don't expect to have any kind of agreed upon framework at the end of it, but they are hoping the principles, the president, the vice president and these top leaders, both democrats and republicans can agree to the areas they would dive into when it comes to possible compromise. things like permitting reform. having a conversation about spending cuts on a track with raising the debt ceiling. but what all can agree to is the sense of urgency. the fact there are only just about two weeks left when the

u.s. could default. so the president eager to see advancement because he is, as of now, scheduled to leave tomorrow for japan for the g-7. and australia. high stakes summits where back home, this will still be the major topic of conversation he'll have to be briefed on and involved in. >> thank you for that. to capitol hill now where house democrats are expressing serious apprehension. >> things are looking precarious on capitol hill right now. neither party at least publicly is budging from their positions. democrats continue to insist the debt limit be increased, that the country's bills must be paid, that it's non-gauchable and republicans are promising they won't do that unless democrats make policy concessions to them on the conservative side. speaker mccarthy yesterday told reporters bluntly that negotiations are not in a good place now. today, democratic leaders are raising the volume saying

senator mccarthy needs to stop kowtowing to his extremists and work on a reasonable solution. here's what pete aguilar had to say about that. >> i'm incredibly scared. with where we are. and this republican led default has us all scared. we want to make sure we don't get anywhere near that but at this point, speaker mccarthy needs to tune out the most extreme members of his conference and work with us. >> now some of this could simply be expectations setting before a potential compromise. we often hear the volume go up a lot before it finally comes down before a deal is struck. this meeting at the white house is going to be very important because the name of the game here is to figure out a process that can satisfy both parties red lines. republicans want debt limit concessions. democrats say they'll only negotiate on a budget. if they can structure a deal

that allows republicans to say they got concessions and democrats to say we negotiated on spending, which they were always willing to do, that might be the way out of this. the specific policy components are very much a mystery. very much recaptures on spent covid relief funds. permitting reform. tougher aid requirements meeting pushback. spending caps, very difficult to structure that in a way that meets democrats' demands for defense and non defense spending. 16 days to go before the ex date by the treasury department where the u.s. could default on its debt if no law is made. >> that could go by very quickly. thank you so much. there's a new cia video released on social media aimed at recruiting russians to share state secrets with the u.s. dan is following the story. why this, why now.

it sounds like to simplify, they're recruiting spies. >> that's basically right, chris. it's extraordinary the form this is taking instead of some secret rendezvous in some alley, it's a video, kind of hollywood style movie trailer that's put out all over social media. russian language video with these fictitious russian characters and someone who seems to be a russian government official and he seems to be decision. the title of the video is why i made contact with the cia, my decision. the narrater says people around you may not want to hear the truth but we do. and i think this reflects what western intelligence believe is a real opportunity here. they think that there are russians who are very much dischanted with putin's rule, with the war in ukraine, and may be willing to share information

with the cia or with western intelligence agencies and this is not the first time they've sort of invited this. less dramatically more than a year ago, they did put out online instructions for russians who wanted to get ahold of the cia and showed them, okay, this is how you contact us securely. through this portal on the dark web. so they clearly believe that this has some chance of success. >> dan, fascinating stuff. thank you so much for that. meantime, russia launched a blistering barrage of missiles and drones on the ukrainian capital this morning including long range hypersonic missiles. among the most advanced in moscow's arsonal. ukraine says it was able to shoot down every one of those missiles, but it also sounds like it was pretty intense overnight where you are. what are we learning about ukraine's evolving ability to fend off these air attacks and

what happened last night? >> reporter: yeah, chris, it was pretty intense overnight. it was also a blitz, short and concentrated and very, very fast. ukrainian officials are touting a success. as you mentioned, all missiles, all russian missiles coming from three different directions over kyiv were shot down. 18 in total including the six hypersonic missiles. those have been touted and we've heard the kremlin brag about these, as some of their most advanced weapons that can evade even the most western air defense systems. that clearly was not true. what was on display last night and what ukrainian officials are talking about today is their recently acquired air defenses did the job that they set out to do. now, they wouldn't confirm if the u.s. supplied patriot systems took them down. we know there was an incident about ten days ago where one was used over kyiv and it was taken down by a patriot air defense

system. but the air force called it a triumph. it was a big day across the country. also touted today were the biggest battlefield gains, chris, this bakhmut in months. seven and a half square miles which doesn't sound like much that the ukrainians reclaimed. that is the biggest they have seen in that really fierce fighting against the wagner group that has controlled most of what is left of that city. also today, a video emerged showing the head of the wagner growth cleaning an american killed. nbc news has not verified this. the state department has not verified anyone had been killed. a statement -- we offer our condolences to the families of the lives who have been lost as a result of russia's unjustified war against ukraine. we are reaching out to u.s. officials here and in the states to get more information on that story line. >> molly hunter, thank you for that. stay safe.

a live picture now from texas where one of the survivors of the allen mall shooting is expected to talk about his harrowing brush with death and his recovery from critical injuries. you see him there. his name is urban walker. he is in the wheelchair. a nurse and trauma doctor are also going to share their accounts of treating patients from the attack. eight people were killed when a gunman opened fear on the mall including three children. meantime in new mexico, at least three people are dead and six more wounded including two police officers after police say a teen suspect opened fire randomly on monday. the 18-year-old gunman was confronted by police anned killed on the scene. the suspect has multiple weapons including an ar style rifle but a motive remains unclear. growing concerns on capitol hill. just 24 hours after the bat wielding attacker put two congressional staffers in the hospital. do these folks need better security and what options are out there? we're back in 60 seconds. e

today, the u.s. capitol hill police chief testified on the hill a day after a bat yielding attacker injured staffers including an intern on her first day in virginia. he said one of the biggest challenges his team faces is dealing with the sheer increase against members of congress. that number up 400% over just the last six years. i want to bring in ryan nobles. former assistant director for counterintelligence at the fbi and nbc national security analyst, frank. also with us, boston globe columnist, kimberly atkins store. good to have you here. ryan, i know you were on location near that office yesterday. today, now a day after that

attack, tensions obviously high on the hill. how did that factor into the questions and concerns that they had for the police chief today? >> honestly, chris, that specific hearing was not really focused that much on threats to members of congress. it was the police chief that went out of his way to make that point saying this made the job of the capitol police that much more difficult because of the increased political rhetoric across the country. take a listen to what he had to say. >> we've had a member of congress brutally assaulted. another member was attacked on the campaign trail and the husband of a former house speaker was critically wounded in a politically motivated attack. these events demonstrate how the capitol police need to transform into a more protective agencies. one that concentrates on protecting members and their families throughout the country. not merely in washington, d.c. >> he said that his office is still recovering from what happened yesterday. they were cleaning up the office

today. cleaning up both blood and glass from inside that room. the suspect in this attack skipped his arraignment, would not appear via video conference from the jail. he is being charged with three felonies and one misdemeanor as folks here on capitol hill deal with this real threat in their district offices. they certainly do not have the same level of protection they have here in washington. >> thank you so much. take a listen to what a congressman connolly said yesterday about the response he got from his congressional colleagues. >> i was you know, really bogged on the floor by republicans and democrats who easily related what happened to me today. like well we don't have security. we don't have the kind of security we have up here in the capitol at the district level. many of our offices are in malls or office buildings. so you know, you don't have any kind of sophisticated protection or security screen.

>> i don't see them giving every member of a congressional staff a security detail. so short of that, what options for security do they have? >> sadly increasingly it's looking like a choice we have to make. we can either have unfettered access to our elected lawmakers and their staff or we can have security for our elected lawmakers and their staff. but sadly, we can't have both. so it's time to make some changes about the way we access our lawmakers and it's not going to be popular. but until we figure out the budget necessary and get overtime for police officers in every district office for every member of congress and we get all kinds of panic alarms. very expensive equipment for everywhere. we've got to change the way we access our law make rs. it's time to consider now appointment only access at the field and district office level. you go online, you make an appointment. you state your case.

there's even a vetting process that i would suggest. who is that person? yes, it's a constituent, but what's their record? what's out there in open source? you can get a lot of online data, criminal records. all of that. appointment only and then very secure office space where you get buzzed in even when you have that appointment. they take a look at you. there's a metal detector perhaps. a security officer. it's going to change the way we consider and view our democratic elected lawmakers and our free access to them, but it's a necessary step, i think. >> all right. i'm going to cut this short because admiral kirby is at the white house and he's behind the podium in the briefing room. >> since the president took office revitalizing our alliances and partnerships and reestablishing america's leadership has been one of his priorities. you will see our allies and partners are nor united than ever. over the last 15 months, the g-7

has stood in solidarity with ukraine. that solidarity with ukraine is even stronger now than it was last year and you'll see concrete action from russia. of course, this display of unity will extend to other key economic and security issues as well. leaders will demonstrate we share a common approach to the challenges posed by the prc. approach that is grounded in common values and we'll also rally the worlds, we will also rally around the need for bold action to accelerate the clean energy transition including by making president biden's economic agenda a blueprint for g-7 action to address the climate addresses. finally, we will present an agenda to take action to support developing countries. that means we'll -- initiative,

a partnership for global infrastructure and investment which has attracted major investors to better the response for better infrastructure financing. and we will reaffirm our commitment to help the world bank so they can more effectively address global challenges that affect its core mission of poverty reduction including climate change. the president will have an opportunity to meet with prime minister kishida on the margins where they will discuss ways to strengthen our security, multilateral cooperation and look for ways to continue to improve our alliance with japan. and he'll also have the opportunity to meet with the members of the group. prime minister modi and australia. a packed agenda. president's looking forward to having those discussions and again, showing how united the g-7 really is around a common range of security challenges and opportunities. >> mentioned -- in japan, is

that a change back half of the trip? not going to australia tomorrow? >> would have had the opportunity to meet with prime minister modi anyway at the g-7. i don't have additional changes or additional schedule items to speak to today. we're working through. thinking through. the rest of the trip right now. >> the rest of the trip. it's now up in the air. >> what i can speak to is the g-7 and going to hiroshima. the president's looking forward to that. we're taking a look at the rest of the trip. >> question there, can you speak about the implications of the debt limit showdown here at home on the president's credibility on the global stage. how can he rally the world if he can't rally lawmakers here in

washington. >> leaders of democracies, they understand and they want, they respect american leadership on the world stage and they know that our ability to pay our debts is a key part of u.s. credibility and leadership around the world. and so they understand that the president also has to focus on making sure that we don't default and have these conversations with leaders and he'll be able to do that and have his team do that while we're at the g-7, but these leaders around the world understand. we wouldn't be having this discussion about the effect of the debt ceiling debate on the trip if congress would do it job, raise the debt ceiling the way they've always done.

>> so john kirby at the white house affirming, affirming that the president is planning to go to the g-7, but let me bring in monica alba. he appeared to leave an opening that there could be a change in plans for two other aspects of this trip. new guinea, he would have been the first president ever to go there and a speech in parliament in australia. what do you think? what's the conversation going on in the white house right now about whether to continue having that trip? >> this will raise some eyebrows, chris. at the trip after previewing in detail what the president is scheduled to go when he travels to japan tomorrow for the g-7. but the admiral did not go into detail about those additional two stops and when he was asked

by a reporter, if it was something being reviewed and discussed and decided upon until the last minute which is a very much par for the course with these foreign trips. there's a diplomatic protocol. but if we read the tea leaves here, the other thing that the admiral mentioned is that the president is going to have an opportunity to also meet with the leaders that he would have met with at the quad summit in australia it sounds like in japan. so perhaps some of those key discussions are now all going to take place there and they're going to reevaluate whether the other stops are still possible because there's mounting pressure on republicans to deal with the looming debt crisis. it's something that will be coming up in the meeting at 3:00 p.m. mccarthy has been really outspoken at multiple press

availableties in the last couple of days saying if herp in the president's shoes, we wouldn't be gone. a live discussion, a moving target. something that can be adjusted, but it's significant that the white house isn't saying the president is definitely going to be visiting all of these places at least right now. >> thank you for that. back to our conversation about lawmaker security. frank, kimberly are still with me. kimberly, i think the detail that really sticks with you here is that in congressman connolly's office, this is the intern's first day on the job. but we saw the threats to those election workers. shaye moss and her mother. ruby freeman. the attack on paul pelosi. shootings of gabby giffords, steve scalise. do we just accept if you're going to be a public figure of

any level, a level of danger is built in? >> i think we've seen throughout history there's some danger involved with getting involved with politics. there's been a clear escalation in the violent rhetoric, which in some of these cases as we've seen all of the ones you mentioned lead to actual violent actions against public officials. i was just talking to a friend who had been contemplating running for office on a federal level and decided against it because of the concern not only for themselves, but their family. just think about the loss to the public when people who would be great public servants are opting against doing it because they don't want to put themselves or more importantly, their families, in danger based on what they've seen. this is after what happened to paul pelosi. so it has a real impact. i think frank is right. it is odd at this point in time

that you do have some congressional offices that have less security than the average office building i go to every day here in washington, d.c., but on the other hand, i never think that hardening the buildings is the best solution. it's lowering the rhetoric and having political discourse that isn't violent, over the top, and that doesn't treat human beings like they're your enemy. >> capitol police chief mentioned the problem of increased heat t rhetoric. it's a threat to safety. but if you're looking at risk assessment and how you prevent these things from happening. and we're going into 2024. no one will be surprised if the already political rhetoric escalates more. how does law enforcement deal with that? >> you're right. because this is quite the challenge because ironically, when you're talking about protective security, you're usually talking about high profile celebrities, actresses, rock stars who just by their

stature draw a lot of activity. people wanting to get near them. here, we've got a situation where ironically the very people we're talking about protecting are part of the problem with the rhetoric making each other evil simply because they're across the aisle. so they've got to become part of the solution but clearly from a security perspective, the soft target is what the bad guys look for and the soft target, the most vulnerable target is indeed those district offices. those field offices and the staff members. we've got to get better at protecting them and i think it's time to limit the access by appointment only, online activity. video conferencing. that kind of thing. until we can figure out the larger solution to the violent extremism. >> frank, kimberly, thank you both so much. and a programming note. congressman connolly will join deadline white house today starting at 4:00 eastern here on

msnbc. it's being called the biggest primary battle of the year. who will voters pick to take on kentucky's incumbent governor? n kentucky's incumbent governor?

style? because one of the candidates here has his endorsement. cameron. the other candidate has been campaigning in the trump style and he now as you just reported, we got confirmation last night, has been endorsed by his likely top rival in 2024. governor desantis. watch. in kentucky's hotly watched governor's race, the former president looms large for both front-runners. >> daniel cameron. the only candidate endorsed by president trump. >> cameron agreed with the george tsiros back d ark. >> kelly craft hails from the trump administration as his former ambassador to the united nations. >> president trump sent me to the united nations and what a snake pit that is. >> it's cameron who has the endorsement of her former boss. >> why didn't he endorse you? >> i was not the race so there was no chase. >> cameron playing up that

endorsement. >> falsely attacks cameron, but you know what's really strange? craft worked for president trump and trump endorsed daniel, not craft. >> while down playing his senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell. >> how has your association with mcconnell influenced your philosophy? >> you'll recall when the folks were protesting on my front lawn, did you see mitch mcconnell there? there you go. look, i'm my own man. >> you have been endorsed by former president trump. you mention that in your ads and flyers. you also have ties to mitch mcconnell. you don't mention that as much. why not? >> we're going to have to build a coalition large enough not only to win the may 16th primary, but also to beat andy bashir in november and that's our ultimate mission. >> the race becoming an early bellwether for republican primary politics and a test for what message wins out with the

base. craft leaning into republican attacks on so-called woke culture. >> we're not going to be activists. we're going to have responsible chern and support our teachers. >> making controversial statements about transgender students in kentucky schools. can you clarify your comments on transgender folks in schools? >> what i'm saying is that i do not want these woke ideologies, the sexualization. i do not want that. for her children. >> criticizing cameron for not pushing back on the justice department's investigation into the louisville police department after breonna taylor's death, which found the police department quote unlawfully discriminates against black people. cameron leaning into his record as the attorney general. >> people recognize the work i've done as attorney general and i've been standing up for their constitutional rights and values since day one. >> while kentucky went for trump

by 26 points in 2020, governor bashir enjoyed sky high approval ratings. the democrat winning over republicans in his deep red state. the race, the latest test of president trump's influence on the gop in 2023 and beyond. and chris, of course we're at just one polling place in the state, but what i can tell you is what we're seeing on the ground is despite terrible weather, turnout. workers say it's a lot more than expected. who will that benefit? we'll find out tonight. >> thank you so much. breaking news out of texas where one of the survivors of the mat shooting just spoke to the media describing his experience two saturdays ago. he said he had just dropped his girlfriend off at the store, was parking his car then bullets went flying. bullet fragments entered his chest and his head. take a listen. >> i think this event was just

evidence of evil not winning. you know. the power of god just showed brightly and gave me a opportunity to fight through this process and evil is not going to win. >> walker thanked hospital medical personnel, his family and friends saying he was simply grateful to be here. with just 30 minutes or so to the high stakes debt ceiling meeting, is there a red line president biden won't cross? a member of the national economic council joins me next. l economic council joins me next e, but we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back with tide,

learned there were no updates whether the president's scheduled trip aboard could change but that could change because president biden and house speaker mccarthy are set to meet face-to-face moments from now as the white house tries to bridge the divide over the debt ceiling. janet yellen has warned they'll run out of money but while the president has projected cautious optimism that a deal will get done, mccarthy has expressed his doubts as recently as this morning joining me now -- thank you for coming on the program. did something change during these staff level conversations that facilitated getting the speaker in the same room today? do you sense around the white house that something could happen? >> i think the conversations over the past several days between staffs have been

productive and made progress towards hopefully a resolution of this issue. as the president's been saying now for many, many weeks, we have the take the possibility of defaulting off the table. it's too dangerous for our economy. it would raise the cost of borrowing for mortgages, credit cards, small business loans. it would really undo a lot of the progress that's taken place in the first two years of this administration. so the president's message is going to be clear. let's take the possibility of default off the table as soon as possible and continue to have these conversations about what we do on tax and spending policy. >> let's go back to what we heard from the treasury secretary. broadly some of the things that would happen, take it down to the kitchen table level. what would you say to the american people about what they would experience in the days and

weeks after if there was a default. >> for a lot of people, they may think about this like a government shutdown. while it's bad, it's not even in the same ballpark as defaulting on the debt. i think every household in america would experience some negative effects. we're going to be losings potentially millions of jobs according to outside analysts. there would be a spike in interest rates so mortgage rates would go up. your credit card rate would likely go up. if you're a small business owner, your loan. those are likely to go up. all of the new investments that have been flooding into the united states thanks to the policies that the president got into law in the last two years, those would be threatened which means all these good new jobs coming to communities across the country may go overseas. it would be a calamitous event and something we need to absolutely avoid. >> given those stakes and they're pretty off the charts, the president is slated to go on a week long trip to the g-7 summit in japan but then to new

guinea then to australia. we just heard that stops two and three for the trip could change. if things are still stuck after the g-7, how important would it be for the president to be involved in these negotiations face-to-face? do you know how seriously shortening the trip is under consideration? >> i'm not going to get ahead of any announcements about the president's travel. he has important announcements to conduct ahead of the meetings and this really underscores to me at least the kind of harm -- the president has been saying -- to do what they did three times under donald trump. without a lot of fanfare, continue ver say, even as they are adding $8 trillion to the debt in the four years of the trump administration. if they had done that weeks ago, we wouldn't be in this position.

>> the fact that we are and given the stakes, is this something that could continue well and efficiently at the staff level or is this a situation where it may well mean the president of the united states face-to-face to get a deal done. >> when the president goes aboard, he's still able to conduct business here at home. he's done that on multiple foreign trips before and look, ultimately, it's going to be his decision about how he wants to plan his schedule. but i think we've made a lot of progress over the last few days towards resolving this and i think it would be very, very easy for house republicans that any day now to put a bill on the floor of the house that would take the possibility of default off the table, raise the debt ceiling and allow in parallel on a different timeline, these conversation about what we do on tax and spending policy. i believe they're occurring in good faith and we're making progress towards a resolution and with the president has been

just last hour, the ceo of openai, sam altman, testified before congress for the first time as lawmakers begin to grapple with what artificial intelligence is and how the federal government can regulate the technology. >> we are quite concerned about the impact this can have on elections. i think this is an area where hopefully the entire industry in the government can work together quickly. i think it's tempting to use the frame of social media, but this is not social media. this is different. we're claiming we need to work together to find a new approach. i don't think section 230 is even the right framework. >> joining me now, politico reporter, brendan. section 230. most people have no idea what he was talking about but i mean, that's a pretty stark warning to lawmakers and i wonder how important it was as you observed it for them to just even hear from someone like him.

>> sure. thanks so much for having me to talk about this today. i think ai is one of these issues like you often see within the tech space on capitol hill. it kind of percolates along at 5 or 10 miles an hour. there's a few senators paying attention to it. maybe they have some niche ideas they want to focus on. big, new tech platform, in this case, chatgpt changes the game. everyone has their own bill. everyone wants a hearing. there are actually two hearings on ai. one in the senate judiciary with sam altman. also a big hearing on the committee run by the homeland security and government fairs committee on the government's use of ai. this is a huge difference from just a few months ago before generative ai burst on to the scene. this really is a sign that congress is all in on this issue and they'll figure out some of the details later, which is where we are at the moment. very much in an early educating

position for lawmakers and eager to do something. not sure what, but i think very interested in showing the public something is going on on capitol hill and i think that's where we are at the moment. >> let me ask you about the not sure what that is part of it because what we saw in some previous hearings, twitter for example, it became clear members of congress had no clue what social media was or how it worked. ai is a whole different thing. implications are enormous. the complexity of the it is enormous. where do they even start if they're serious about regulation? do they go to the ai folks themselves? do they look to the fox to guard the hen house? what's going to happen here? >> yeah. the public sector, sorry, private sector is the big player here. they have the vast amount of investments in the space. ai requires a ton of compute ai requires a ton of compute power and you need billions andy to go online.

any questions? -yeah, i got one. how about the best network imaginable? let's invent that. that's what we do here. quick survey. who wants the internet to work, pretty much everywhere. and it needs to smooth, like super, super, super, super smooth. hey, should you be drinking that? -it's decaf. because we're busy women. we don't have time for lag or buffering. who doesn't want internet that helps a.i. do your homework even faster. come again. -sorry, what was that? introducing the next generation 10g network only from xfinity. the future starts now.
