0:00.0	They flew by 19 times. It's been reported. I don't like it, of course. This is dangerous. This is reckless. These are the things that can lead to escalation. I'm glad the Biden administration responded forcefully. And I'm also glad they didn't over respond. And I hope it doesn't happen again.
0:18.6	Former U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFal, with his assessment of the Russian confrontation
0:24.9	of a U.S. drone over the Black Sea.
0:26.9	We're going to have much more on the diplomatic implications of the incident just ahead.
0:32.2	Plus, some Republican lawmakers are pushing back on comments from R DeSantis about Russia's invasion of Ukraine
0:39.9	with comparisons to Neville Chamberlain. We'll play for you their comments. Also ahead,
0:45.9	things got a little tense between Ari Melburgh and Donald Trump's lawyer in the stormy Daniels
0:51.8	Hush Money case. More of that must watch interview, which is
0:56.9	incredibly revealing in a number of ways a little later on Morning Joe. Good morning. And welcome

1:39.4	surveillance drone over the Black Sea. United States European Command reports that around 7 a.m. local time
1:45.9	yesterday, two Russian jets began to track the drone as it traveled in international airspace
1:53.3	above the Black Sea. According to a U.S. statement, the Russian jets, quote, dumped fuel on and flew in front of the drone in a reckless,
2:03.8	environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. Shortly afterwards, one of the Russian
2:09.7	jets then struck the drone's propeller, which forced the U.S. to bring it down over the water.
2:16.8	Russia's Ministry of Defense released a statement denying its jet made contact with the drone
