11:00 pm
progress. we went from 2 million people being vaccinated at the moment i was sworn in, to 210 million americas it's being fully vaccinated today. we created 6 million jobs. for all this progress, there was a lot of frustration in this country. >> did you over promise to the american a white you could achieve. >> i didn't over promise. and -- i did not at his dissipate that there would be such a effort to make sure, that the most important thing was that president biden couldn't get anything done. >> is there anything confident you can get signed into law before the midterm elections? >> yes, i'm sure we can get back the build back better law signed into law in pieces. >> can you now -- ? >> no, i'm not prepared to do
11:01 pm
that in detail in terms of executive orders, i may be able to engage in whatever i can do. we begin to organize in ways i haven't before. >> when you are in geneva in june, in a semblance about president putin, i think what's he wants now is a cold war. since you seen him gather these croups outside of ukraine? >> i think -- number two, do i think he'll test the west? test the united states and nato? as significantly as you can, yes, i think he will. >> biden added that putin would regret such a move. and -- michael mcfaul was gonna join us on the russian threat. meanwhile, the supreme court
11:02 pm
handed a major blow to president trump, in the january six information got a good break. they blocked trump's request to block the release of trump's records inserting the capitol -- riot they called it a victory for the growl of law and for democracy. earlier tonight, they confirmed that some of the material that trump wanted hidden, has already been released. >> some of the material has already been received at the committee. i think it's very important that this material will start pouring very soon. documents, videos, notes, logs, etc. we'll be getting the visitors logs, the call logs, the outtakes for the videos that he made as people were trying to talk him into asking the mob to
11:03 pm
leave the capitol. and will get the picture of what happened leading up to the riot and on the day of the riot. >> the company is already issued to more subpoenas to far-right activists nick fuentes and patrick casey. they say both individuals participated in events up to january 6th and some claims about the election. also tonight, responding to the new york attorney general that her -- they have uncovered significant evidence suggesting fraud. they released a statement reading, the only one misleading the public's letitia james. she defrauded new yorkers by basing her entire candidacy on a promise to get trump at all costs without seeing a shred of evidence. her allegations are baseless. there is also news tonight on
11:04 pm
the administration's efforts to contain the omicron variant. the biden administration had made 400 million and 95 masks available to you u.s. americans. it will be in -- across the country. let's bring in people for this. peter baker, greg, and the former united states attorney joyce vance, she is now the cohost of the podcast sisters in law. let's start with you. the president stood out there for a long time talking to reporters. he was trying to make a case that this was a reset. there are things that shouldn't be done that could be done. there's a lot of things that he didn't do and he didn't get the recognition that he wanted. >> well the president came out today with two important
11:05 pm
talking points. he said one, things in america are going better than you think. the economy that people are focused on, the progress on covid. he got two really big bills through on congress on covid and the stimulus. his second thing was, the republicans criticize me but what do they stand for? if you look at the two talking points that would be one thing, a way to reset things. but of course he didn't stick to those things. and it went off the rails. and you know it went off the rails when the white house has to put a statement out after correcting and clarifying with president said and what he meant to say. which is what the white house said on his comments on ukraine. it's suggested that russia had a minor incursion, and it wouldn't apply to -- it immediately set alarm bells
11:06 pm
off in europe. they are trying to see what on earth he meant by that. and is it's a an invitation to moscow to try and try something, like a full scale invasion. as you saw today, it was the desire to show that he is up to the job. but when you're saying that you're trying to defend your competence and your stability, you're on the offensive. that is not where he wanted to be one year into his office. he didn't think that the republicans would be unanimous in opposition against him. which makes it obvious that he -- when he took office. there is a lot of things that this conference has to chew on. and it didn't accomplish exactly what he wanted it to do. we have a lot of news tonight, that's one thing. the other thing is that the supreme has rejected donald
11:07 pm
trump's efforts to prevent the national archives from handing over the documents to the january six investigation. we don't know all these documents. he's trying to deny them. tell this about the supreme court's decision, why denied him, what they said, what it means. >> it's unusually short decision, just a paragraph for the key holding. the court is denying to block the national archives of turning over the documents that the january six investigation has asked to receive. this is of course material that would normally remain in the archives for a period of years before disclosing. the court said that is important for us to have access to these. they are privileged, but they rely on a rule in the lower court that this would be the outcome even if trump was still
11:08 pm
president. so they made that ruling, and they declined to -- the decision that the president has and the decision that he has the right to assert a block of the release. it sounds like the block of an inside baseball -- but it's really not. we really see this at the forefront again, as various witnesses try to assert of this executive privilege, or perhaps more measures from trump or joe biden down the road. >> marianne more -- than the senate voted on changing the filibuster rules that, failed on a 50 2:38 vote for democrats. the 52 are all republicans plus kristen sinema and joe manchin. what happens now? >> this has been a dispiriting week for senate democrats who knew late last week that this
11:09 pm
would be probably the results when the votes came out. hoping to show party unity on the election reform bills themselves, you did not see that party immunity on the defensive filibuster -- there is partisan support for keeping the filibuster for legislation in place. what's next in voting rights is probably a much smaller senator reforms to the electoral count act. this might prevent in theory what happened on january 6th. the -- might toss out votes he or she does not like. it would raise a challenge for electoral votes in the states. and it is a challenge to protect how states count their votes. for democrats, this is not a half a loaf, or a fraction of a loaf, it is a slice of the
11:10 pm
voting rights package, but the senators are working on it. we heard from president biden in the news conference today, that he thinks this is something that can again done. and now they're going to town on the voting rights issue -- one big package tonight on the senate floor. >> peter, i want to read to you what the president says, he released a statement that he is foully disappointed that the united states senate would not stand up for diplomacy. he is disappointed but he's not deterred. my administration will never stop fighting to ensure that the heart and soul of democracy, the way up to vote is to protect it at all costs. we will continue to work with allies to advance nets theory legislation to make sure that everyone has the right to vote. break that down for me please, many people has been saying what can you do to get this? dan >> yeah, i think it was
11:11 pm
reliance on legislation to get that done. the president speaks last week on a statement that you just read, to say that he cares about these issues. they are important him. and he understands they're important them to. in a sense, it was worth in his mind, highlighting republicans that didn't go along with him even though they knew was gonna go down. two democratic senators who refused to go along with it as well. i think that the motivating issue at this point for a lot of democrats would -- there is not a lot of options that the president has without legislation. and being in the states at this point. you heard something really -- may have to provide -- i asked whether he would consider the elections this fall. midterm elections. and even in these big legislations, the republican
11:12 pm
legislatures, would -- really have congress weighing in. and his head is on that. he wouldn't say that they wouldn't be legitimate, and that may apply -- but he is concerned about the rules of the game, and the 2020 election wasn't legitimate because he didn't like what the rules were back then. he's taking a little bit of the high ground that president biden's been on for the election, but it's more -- will see him come back at the 2022 midterm elections, and they might be illegitimate or not, but that was an interesting point in the conference today. >> we just received a statement from vice president kamala harris in this, it reads -- then deterred the fundamental freedom. the american people will not forget this moment, and neither will history. you also spoke to the chairman of the january six committee. what did you learn about that
11:13 pm
conversation? >> that feels like a long time ago. there's been so much news today. it really was. the chairman is trying to keep his options open. i was asking more about the subpoenas came out yesterday. rudy giuliani, sydney powell, boris epshteyn, but what we've heard from the attorney so far and have a jury -- they would essentially rely on attorney client privilege not to testify. they told me they are reviewing their options to still try to get them to compel beyond the subpoena. how they can fish that issue to get around that privilege. i try to ask him about whether he is concerned about the weight that that might take. time is the enemy of the january six committee as we're looking into midterms and whatever may come after that. he is patient to appoints. it is perhaps, you know noting
11:14 pm
the time, and some backup for the supreme court acting exactly as they did on the documents issue today. maybe they might get more favorable -- more quickly than a lot of us that have been expecting. >> i think some of these people are practicing lawyers and it's a bit cringe worthy. can you tell us about your take about rudy giuliani, sydney powell, and jenna ellis being invited to provide testimony and being indicted on this? >> the perpetrators of the big lie. this is the gang of lawyers who really got the big lie going and it gave it life in the media. this will be interesting to see anything at them curve lab prairie. any additional thinking here suggests that they would not. they would have to be subpoenaed. and of course we are not the presidents lawyers.
11:15 pm
we are not in the relationship that permits him from not testifying. but there is a lot -- of for instance there was a third person in the room when they were with the president and they were given advice, that would cut off the privilege. if they were talking independently to legislators or other people, no privilege. and this would be a situation where they would have to come in and comply with the subpoenas, and the search each question -- and answer those questions that are not covered about the privilege. as you say, wet they'll likely do here is try to delay, try to go to court to avoid testimony. but one of the strong impacts of this ruling that we've seen as important today, is that some courts will be able to rely on today's ruling to push things forward. the supreme court has done something remarkable here, they have denied the appeal for the
11:16 pm
same president. these are the cases that you would expect them to take, just because these is the first impression. but they are very much cup thing up -- all three levels of courts in this country, is making the strong message that timing on the committee side, that courts may gone faster than normal. peter baker, the president made some indication that some of the build back better stuff, they might be able to get done. others have recommended this in the past by slicing it up and, putting it into pieces. you made a reference to that earlier. is there some sort of a roadmap for how that goes? >> i think you heard that roadmap today. that is in some ways the biggest substance out of this press conference. he is willing to break up that big spending bill into component parts. remember, a lot of the component parts were very popular. they like the things that he's talking about, they just didn't understand -- i think a lot of the people, that this big bill was about all those things.
11:17 pm
all they heard was, the spending package, rather than, here's will rupture gonna do. he talked about a couple of things, one of the things he talked about was three k education. he will try to get some traction on. two things that he think that he doesn't pass, would be an extension of the child tax credit, and free community college for all. he's not giving up all those things, in effect, he saying we need to get those through. if you do break these up, i'm sure senator manchin supports some of the priorities. -- he could possibly get some through, recover some of this agenda, and build for momentum going into the spring, which would be something welcome at the white house. >> guys, thanks so much for joining us. peter baker, garrett hank, and joyce vance. we appreciate you taking off this evening. season two of the biden white house, i'm going to ask our political experts to gain it
11:18 pm
out. is there a path is that joe biden can win joe manchin over. russia, the presidents blunt warning for vladimir putin, we'll talk to a former u.s. ambassador to top -- is it enough to stop innovation you crane. the 11th hour just getting started on wednesday night. we started on wednesday night we
11:19 pm
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
and backing from an expert team, 24/7. and for even more value, ask how to get up to a $500 prepaid card. get a great deal for your business with the ready. set. save. sale today. i do not understand why to comcast business. powering possibilities. democrats, who presumably understand the importance of the freedom to vote act, and as i understand it, will vote for the freedom to vote act, are not prepared to change the
11:22 pm
rules, so that that bill could actually become law. >> to no surprise, it was senators kyrsten sinema and joe manchin that helped kill hopes for filibuster reform and voting rights. the wall street journal has reported today, that president biden has a new strategy to resurrect talks with manchin, but it comes with a fresh set of problems. quote, even if democrats are able to revive the talks in reach a deal with mr. manchin, all 50 senate democrats would have to agree to it, and then it would also have to be approved by the house, where democrats hold a narrow majority. progressive lawmakers in both chambers have resisted the idea of narrowing the package any further. with us tonight, eugene robinson, pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the washington post, and mark mckinnon who is the former adviser to george w. bush and john mccain. welcome to you both. mark, let's start with you. what do you think biden's options are, right now?
11:23 pm
on some levels, his path forward is narrow, on others he has to deal with things that, yesterday, he could think about avoiding. >> he may not get a whole lot of love, but he maybe could get a slice of red. joe manchin said he wanted to go to republicans, and get ten republican votes to help on voting rights. he got zero. there's really three categories of voting rights, broadly speaking. when it comes to casting ballots, scanning ballots, and certifying balance. i think we're going to get down to now, is focusing on the certification of votes. which, at the end of the day, you could argue is the most important element of those three. obviously, we want all three to be fair and free, and not corrupted, but it's a certification where you could really overthrow government, which is what we always saw happen on january 6th. we saw how close it could come. we also saw how flawed the laws
11:24 pm
are, that were ridden many many decades ago, that really need to be updated. maybe that's where joe manchin in biden could come together. >> eugene, what's your sense of white can get it achieved? one slice is better than no slices, is there some way in which they could get loss of slices out of a loaf of bread, with manchin and sinema? >> look, manchin and sinema are on board on voting rights, right? they support the legislation, the problem is they don't support changing the filibuster rule, in any way. you know, we've talked about this over the last few months, we knew what was going to happen tonight, and it happened. so, we can't have that same fight again. the question is, how you get past that 60 vote threshold in the senate.
11:25 pm
you have to assume, right now, there is no way you are going to get manchin and sinema to move on the filibuster. therefore, i don't see how substantial voting rights legislation gets through, unless you get something from susan collins and mitt romney. i just don't see it. >> mark, let's talk about that for a second. in fact, i want to show you some video from after the vote, of what appears to be cinders congratulating kristen sinema on a vote. coming up to her and shaking her hand. you can see it on the left side of your screen. sinema is wearing a red dress. mark, is there no hope of a rational conversation with republicans about coming around on the -- other than the electoral college act? >> i don't think so. you have to realize that you
11:26 pm
have the greatest fraud in america law and politics is that there was systemic voting fraud in the last election. or really any fraud at all. there have been, literally, zero examples of any election fraud. so -- but, the problem is, donald trump has proved if you just repeat ally enough, it will be believed. the dramatic example of that is that three quarters of the republican party believe that the last election was fraudulent, and then we have a fraudulence president. when you think about the votes that the representatives are being cast on the issues, it's pretty obvious why they're voting no. they think this federal voting rights will just reinforce and make worse what they think happened -- or their voters think happened in the last election. >> i just don't understand how it is that 50 united states senators have fallen for that. i understand --
11:27 pm

11:31 pm
it's going to be -- a lot of people in the meantime. that's why the single best way to take the burden off working class folks is to pass the build back better. i don't think there's been much on any incoming persons played that has been a bigger play than i have had. i'm not complaining. the fact of the matter is, we've gotten a lot done. and we've got more to get done. >> well, no one enjoys the food more than i do. the that one got messi at the end. the president made his point. his first year in office was six excess, but he does know there's a long way to go. they said one year into his presidency, his accomplishments have been shortchanged. joining us now is eugene and mark. welcome back. how do you think the president
11:32 pm
did in that press conference? and to that very specific point that we've done well, do you think he conveyed that well? >> i think he did. we all know repetition is key to getting a message through. i think president biden today did something he did shouldn't have done a little -- he should do a lot more often in the future. he stood up for two hours and took questions from reporters, and talk directly to the american people. he set the agenda. he wrote tomorrow's headlines. a bunch of them actually. i think that's what he needs to do, to take the initiative as he tries to get what he can of build back better through congress. as he prevents potential
11:33 pm
international crises like russia and ukraine, as he deals with covid, as he tries to fight inflation. he does have a lot of support. but i think the first step is to take the initiative and go out there and talk to people directly a lot more. >> mark, let's play a little bit of what the president said later in that press conference. >> what is the trajectory of the country? it is it moving in one direction right now? i don't know how we can say it's not. >> i don't know how we can say it is not. here's the thing, most of the americans are saying that the country is not in the right trajectory. a new poll says that 68% of americans think it is on the wrong track. we've got covid still, we've got inflation. but people do associate these things with the president. so how does he address that? >> a couple of things. i remember how john mccain used
11:34 pm
to say it's always -- we have gone completely black at this point. i do think that there is -- he really can't go much lower. there is a lot of potential outside of next year, including two particular issues. one of them is the diminishment of the covid resurgence, and in combination with that, a continued outlook on the american economy. i think it is happen but people don't recognize it because covid. i think those two things are going to happen absent anything that biden does moving forward. as you can see, at the press conference, there was a narrative that joe biden had not done any conferences and that he was hiding. and just to stand up and hold a cape, an envy piece sort of, or
11:35 pm
as historically long press conference to prove that he is capable of simply doing what people expect the president to do which is stand and answer questions. >> can joe biden continue with some of the successes? come particularly with economic successes with covid and yet still not give a particular base in the party with a need in terms of build back better? or that face that says i thought you would have solved voting problems? does he -- despite that he's gotten a very good economy and covid is getting better? >> well, he can get those two things, and the progressives will certainly love him for it. but what is possible is possible. -- does not look possible right now. so that converts into an issue to run on in 2022. on build back better, i think there are pieces of it that he
11:36 pm
can get through. and he got the tax chair -- but other pieces of the, that are quite important. and give him new stuff to talk about in addition to what he has done over the years. so, i think that is the feel that we are playing on right now. eugene and mark it is always a pleasure to talk to both of you. thank you for being with us tonight. >> coming up, the prediction that hired the world. biden said that -- will invade ukraine. they join us when the 11th hour continues. join us when the 11th hou continues. round head.
11:37 pm
11:39 pm
11:40 pm
state, blinken, was in kyiv. they said that the united states was firmly -- he is set to meet with russia's foreign minister on friday with -- nbc's chief correspondent is following the story for us tonight. >> even as u.s. officials warn, russia now has enough troops in position to invade ukraine. biden said that if the -- russia >> russia will be held accountable if it invades. it's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we have to fight about what's to do, and not to. but if they are capable of doing what they can do with the troops on the border, it is going to -- be >> president biden warning about a significant invasion would have devastating
11:41 pm
consequences. >> if they invade -- >> but even when pressed, president biden evaded that he sees difference between small and -- and that he expects one. >> i guess he will move in. he has to do something. >> here in the ukraine, there is only one area where russia can launch an ambiguous military incursion. that is in the far east. where pro russian separatists already control the territory. and here tonight, most likely in russia, officials are warning whether president biden just gave putin a greenlight to have an impression in or around those enclaves. richard engel, nbc news, kyiv. >> the white house has released a statement saying that president biden has been clear with the russian president, if
11:42 pm
any russian military move across the russian border it is a renewed invasion and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response with the united states and our allies. michael -- and nbc international affairs, his book, from cold war the hot piece, and ambassador to russia. it is good to see you. do you think that the white house has officially clarified what joe biden said in his statement? it is about a small invasion versus a large invasion? >> well i heard everything they said, i think that everything you just said is right. from what i understand, that is definitely what's policy. i think what they are struggling with is that a full out invasion with russians force forces in kyiv is one response. a more limited military invasion, might elicit a
11:43 pm
different response, especially as we try to keep our allies together so that it is a comprehensive effort and not a response. that will be more difficult. make no mistake, putin had several options. it's not just do nothing, seized on boss, or mercy kyiv. he can use artillery fire to attack military sites, he can use air attacks. one official close to the kremlin said days ago, we heard from you guys what to do, just like you did in close of oil and libya, that's what we'll do here. and i think that how you respond to that is what the biden administration is wrestling on. >> i want to show our viewers a couple of maps, you don't need to see them because you could probably recite them in their sleep, but this is nato as of 1978. and now let's see what they look like today. this is part of vladimir
11:44 pm
putin's argument. that nato has come against russia's borders. and as far as vladimir putin's concerned, that was a part of the deal. is there any legitimacy to that claim? >> no i do not think there is. when you move it back, move your map back, i love maps. there we go. that is the former warsaw path. so nato was already on the borders of the soviet alliance, the soviet union's crashed and there were more captive nations. they were allies of the -- so when they were given the chance to choose, if you were invaded by the soviets in 1966, or 1968, and you had a chance to enhance your security without future interventions
11:45 pm
from moscow -- and all of those countries that joined have enhanced their security, not there just nato's. remember, when we were on attack in november 11th, estonian's the point with us. i think that's important to remembered. number two, i think there is a myth out there. i want to expel it. nato expansion for 30 years has always been this constraint and problem in russia u.s. relations, that's not true. it's gone up and down. sometimes it was an issue, sometimes it wasn't. i worked for many years in the administration. when president obama was with president -- i can't tell you one time when this issue was a major issue. and when we go back nato and putin -- it was cooperation. what's changed was not nato,
11:46 pm
what changed was what putin really believes is revolutions against him. there was a revolution in the ukraine in 2004, and there was another revolution against putin in 2014 that goes against putin that he supported. and that's the thing that -- all right, we already squeezes much value out of you as we deserve. we have another segment for you, i'm pleased with. that stay with, us ambassador has agreed to come back with us after the break. we're going to discuss president biden's -- and what impact that threat might have. when the 11th hour continues. continues
11:49 pm
11:50 pm
about what might happen. let's listen. >> we have very anxious allies along the border. those allies want some assurance, that article five actually mean something. we should be doing more. i think, we should be positioning -- we talked about reactionary measures, positioning troops in europe after an escalation. that is the wrong way to look at it, we should be doing things now. >> i'll ask them to put up the map of nato members today, so that our viewers understand what we're talking about. give me an evaluation of what he was saying. >> we served in moscow together, i'm not sure if you knew that. not many people know that. i think he's right. if it were up to me, i want to move our troops now. not later, not in response. just yesterday, the ministry of foreign affairs said we have the right to move our troops in
11:51 pm
our country, so nato should have the right to move our troops as well. what's good for russian should be good for us. that's not the biden strategy. the biden strategy is saving that move, and they're saving sanctions, and they're saving more military assistance to ukraine, in response, because they want to have some response. i understand that logic. i recall that they don't have good cards. they don't have good responses, here. let's be clear, putin has the stronger cards, and their view is, we need to have something to respond should, there be a military invasion. >> something was that today by the president that caught my attention, as an economics guy. joe biden said, russia if they invade, they're going to pay. their banks are not going to deal in dollars, so there's a lot to happen. what does that mean? is that something that has been always on the table? will that have a meaningful effect on russia, if we had some -- if they had some inability to
11:52 pm
use u.s. dollars to trade? >> well, it's a great observation you make. we actually don't know with the threats have been. we know that they flew to geneva -- secretary blinken is going to do it again. they have hinted at it. i think, the president went a little farther today, that made it sound like state owned banks will be sanctioned. that is big consequences to the russian economy, without question. it's always been back in the debates about escalating sanctions, back in 2014. the investment world always wanted to know, is there banging to be sanctioned or not? because, that has implications for many investments. >> it's my pleasure to talk to you this evening, thanks very much for joining us. former united states ambassador to russia. his book is called from cold war to hot piece. coming up, imagine trying to outlaw discussions that might make you feel uneasy.
11:53 pm
11:55 pm
11:56 pm
save $1,000 on the sleep number 360 special edition smart bed, you think about when mlk stood queen now $1,999. plus, 0% interest for 24 months. for. he said, he didn't want people judged on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character. you listen to some of these people nowadays, they don't talk about that. >> last thing, before we go. that was former governor, ron desantis, talking to people, using the words of reverend dr. martha tin luther king junior,
11:57 pm
