good evening. welcome to "politicsnation." tonight lead -- libry and repression. right now while the west fights to hold the line against vladamir putin's tyranny and ukraine's president calls for more courage from its allies, here in the united states, democracy's defenders just contend with a conservative movement that, while still divided in its stance on russia, is unified in criticizing joe biden for his response to vladamir putin's aggression. and one of the loudest critics is the gop's de facto leader, who just hours after the

president's speech condemning vladamir putin, before a crowd of ukrainian refugees, took the stage to once again phrase putin's intelligence to the cheers of his followers again. >> yes, putin was smart. and i thought he was going to be negotiating. i said, that's a hell of a way to negotiate. the binding tie in both cases is a love of naked power. and a contempt for inclusive democracy. most recently shown here in the u.s. by the senate republican's treatment of supreme court nominee judge ketanji brown jackson. during her confirmation hearings. add to that, a wife of a supreme court judge, who was so concerned for the future of this country that she pushed to try to overturn an election because

her side didn't win. all of that on our show tonight. we start in ukraine. joining me now is nbc's reporter in lviv, ukraine. you tell us about the state of the city that you are in right now. >> reporter: good afternoon, reverend. well, as you know yesterday when we spoke there had been an attack just very close to the city center here. the russians confirming what they had done yesterday, things that we had heard from ukrainian officials, things we had seen with our own eyes. a spokesman for the ministry of defense in russia said they destroyed a large fuel depot, that they used precision, long-range missiles from the sea to destroy that. they also said that they had destroyed some sort of military de deppo or factory they didn't get many details on using those same

weapons. ukrainian officials were saying expensive damage was done to both faciliies but no houses were destroyed. but five people were injured. nobody was killed. but that certainly punctured the sense of security here. i wouldn't say it shattered the peace, but it did make people in lviv a lot more anxious. air raid alarms went off a couple of hours ago. people are much more aware of those alarms than they were maybe a week ago. today, we had a chance to go out and speak to the residents of lviv and asked them how they felt about this, if they were frightened or thought more was coming. we spoke to a young lady this morning. let's take a look to what she had to tell us. >> we're staying in the shelter with my friends, and yeah, it was, you know, scary, because you never know where the bomb would go. so you have to stay safe as much as you can. i was really afraid about my own

family and about other people living here, and hopefully it would not happen as it was yesterday. >> reporter: there is still a sense of security in this city. many of the residents we speak to consider themselves lucky they're not in the east that are not under that heavy shelling. but a question that's on all of their lips here is how long will lviv remain a safe haven? because all of the people who we spoke to said vladamir putin is capable of anything. they pointed out he's bombed churches, schools, hospitals. even though they feel relatively safe here, they wonder how long that safely will last for. >> well, thank you, ali, who is in ukraine. joining me now is senator amy klobuchar of minnesota, a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, let me go right to it.

russia officially claimed responsibility for the three missile strikes yesterday in lviv, ukraine. 200 miles from where joe biden was speaking in warsaw, poland at the time. meanwhile, the chair of the senate intel committee issued new ominous warnings today about looming russian cyber attacksen u.s. infrastructure. are these warning signs of what is to come? how concerned are you about vladamir putin retaliating against the united states directly? >> well, with vladamir putin, al, anything's possible. this is a despot. he's a thug. he bombs maternity hospitals, religious institutions. he knows no limits. i was near where the president was this weekend, just a few weeks ago. these little kids coming across the border, leaving everything with behind. all their lives and their

backpacks. moms leaving their husbands behind to fight. he doesn't care. and when you are dealing with someone like that in vladamir putin, you have to imagine anything's possible. and that's why you're seeing these warnings of retaliatory attacks on our country. obviously, we also have significant cyber capabilities. not only to defend ourselves, but to engage in this area. so, you know, i think the president in his strong speech in poland, made very clear, it was a rallying clear for democracies against autocracies and we're upping our aid to nato and doing everything we can to help ukraine. >> let me go to that speech that joe biden made in poland. he received high marks for his speech in poland, but there's also some backlash to him saying putin cannot remain in power,

but today secretary of state antony blinken tried to clarify the president's comments. let's listen to that. >> i think the president, the white house made the point last night that, quite simply, president putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against ukraine or anyone else. as you know, as you heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in russia or anywhere else for that matter. >> now, france and britain distanced themselves from those remarks. what is your reaction to what the president said and what you take to have him meant when he said it? >> i think the white house has clarified this. our policy is clear to our allies and russia, and i'll read from the speech, he said nato is a defensive alliance, never sought the demise of russia. they have clarified he was talking about putin's disrespect

for sovereignty, how he was treating ukraine as opposed to regime change. that being said, al, i'm an advocate for aggressive aid to ukraine. that means in the humanitarian, i am glad he's said we're accepting refugees. and also military help from the drones that we have sent in to 800 stingers to thousands of javelins and everything we can do to assist president zelenskyy. i've been an early supporter of this aid, because we are dealing with evil, a man that knows no limits. >> he's demonstrated that, i agree with you, but everybody didn't agree with me when i said we should have refugees taken here from haiti. but let me switch gears -- >> al, just to make clear, i'm a big believer in refugees, having

the biggest population of somali refugees in minnesota -- >> i know you are. >> we need more people coming to our country to help. we need more workers and the like. and i hope that will be an outcome -- >> that's why, senator, i said it with you here, because when i went down to the texas bridge around the haitian thing, you were one of the people i talked to and was very supportive for your treatment of haiti. i just wish everybody in washington was consistent on that issue lish you have been. let's switch to the hearings of judge ketanji brown jackson. you not only got a front row seat, but unfortunately, you had to witness the attacks on judge jackson's character by senate republicans. despite the onslaught of this, judge jackson handled herself with intellect, grace, and poise

under pressure. we could all learn a thing or two from her. now democrats expect judge jackson to receive full support from their 50 members caucus, but there are still a few who haven't made their preference known. that's not enough to get her appointed. it's still up in the air whether any republicans will support her at all. what can you tell where you are, where are we in this process now? what are the next steps, and do you think it is important to have a bipartisan vote? >> first of all, al, she's going to walk with her head high when she walks into that supreme court. pillar of strength. every little girl and boy in this country is going to know anything and everything is possible. she was an incredible nominee, dodging the worst of the questions, and dodging them in a

way that, i mean, she answered them in a way i have never seen. she had to take incoming this way, incoming that way. they're going after her, and she still answered them. went through the facts of the cases. i just thought it was unbelievable what our colleagues were doing. as for the future, she will not get confirmed in two years, she won't get confirmed in two months, she will be confirmed in two weeks. we are going to get this done. and i am very hopeful she'll have bipartisan support. she's had it in every single nomination hearing that she's had. she's come out of the senate with bipartisan support and there's a number of senators that issued positive statements about her. so stay tuned, i would predict she will get bipartisan support. a lot had to do with how she had to deal with these incredibly unfair question and had to

answer them one by one by one. >> senator, i'm out of time. but i must ask you before we lose you, your thoughts on the case of the text messages where jenny thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas, talks to trump's staffers about overturning the 2020 election. some republicans say it is okay and legal to have concerns about the 2020 election. this is a supreme court justice's wife. what is your reaction? >> this story is unbelievable. you have a sitting supreme court justice's wife, who is sending texts to the then president's chief of staff, basically telling him to overturn a legal presidential election, basically suggesting an insurrection, in writing, in text. now you get to the next stop, what happens? we know the january 6 commission is investigating this. two, clarence thomas must recuse

himself. he recused himself in 1995, al, from a case where his son was a student at a college in the case involved that in that case. or justice stephen breyer excused himself on a case. there are federal and ethic rules that applies to every single federal judge and that includes you can't have an appearance of impropriety, that you have to be impartial. it doesn't apply, according to the supreme court, it doesn't apply to them. i think justice roberts, someone who i have respect for has to, one, cannot no longer be silent on this next week. and number two, we need to see ethics rules. chris murphy has a fwil that instructs the judicial conference to put together this for the supreme court. >> senator amy klobuchar, thanks for being on. ukrainians unable to escape

russia's wrath are left to suffering with dwindling resources. after the break, we'll talk with jose andres and doctors without boarders how they are working to fill the gaps. but first, my colleague richard with today's other top news stories. >> a very good sunday, rev. the third largest city in the world will be on partial lockdown monday. 11 million shanghai residents can not go out for four days. city wide covid-19 testing is mandatory to prevent infections there. they hit a record of 1609 cases this past week. new details in the death of drummer taylor hawkins from the rock band foo fighters. he had ten different substances in his system at the time of his death. this included opioids and various anti-depressants.

welcome back. i want to now focus on the heavy humanitarian toll created by the war in ukraine. the russian offensive has made no exception for its most vulnerable citizens and civilians. nearly 70 attacks on ukrainian health care facilities, including maternity hospitals and centers for the disabled, in just the last month, leaving more than 70 people dead according to the u.n. world

health organization. besieged cities are faced with the grim choice of choosing between staying hidden without care or risking violence on the streets to search for it. joining me now is averill benoit, executive director of doctors without orders. first of all, thank you for being with us tonight. i would like to start off by asking what you've heard from the doctors in your organization, on the ground in the region, or in ukraine itself, where, even hospitals are not safe, what can you tell us? >> well, thanks for having me. i'm here not as the executive director, but as part of our emergency teams for a month. and i have been working to try to draw out what it is that we are witnessing, because bearing

witness is a key part of the medical action we bring and hope to, through that, improve things for people. what the doctors are telling me is that through the various places that we have been going out to work, we have very dedicated, committed, capable and highly skilled ukrainian physician and nurses really running hospitals in those places that have not fallen under the attacks that are reported by the world health organization. these doctors haven't got the specific skills, though, in trauma surgery, the kind of war wounded situations, the vascular surgery, that's highly specialized. that's something we've been able to support them with, with on-site training in hospitals and various locations that are seeing already some of the war wounded coming out of besieged areas or areas that have come under attack, or they are preparing for the worst. a big part of our effort here is

to support those hospitals not only with medical supplies, but to bring with them our expertise our organization of bringing medicine in conflict zones. >> how have you been able to move medical supplies through a nation under siege? >> it's incredibly challenging, i would say. you never know if the trucks that are carrying the supplies are actually going to be able to make it. and even just the other day we had a convoy, we were loaded with medical supplies for mariupol, which is encircled, and we had -- some sense of assurance -- -- was littered with land mines, improvised explosive devices. so a small car might be able to

slalom through. amazingly enough, the trains seem to be working pretty well, so that's increasingly becoming the option. they are mostly running, they can take a significant -- of course, they have been used for people to evacuation certain regions, as well. so that's something that is seriously under consideration. >> i noted your organization was forced to suspend several programs in ukraine at the outbreak of the war, programs that combat hiv and other illnesses for example. i think about covid and how this war has disrupted mass testing for virus. are you concerned about the lingering health impacts of this war in ukraine, or even in russia for that matter? >> yes, of course. we're thinking of covid, we're also thinking of tb and drug

resistant tb. many of the programs we were offering, especially since 2014, which was the first part of the war, if you will, were focused on those long-term kind of diseases, the chronic diseases, but also things like hiv. so for us, this is a major concern and what we are hearing from medical professionals, ukrainians who are still working, very committed to being on the ground with their people, is that they have tremendous needs to treat people with diabetes, people with hypertension, the kinds of diseases you might more often see among the elderly. compound that with covid and we know that it's a terrible situation. but i should mention there are these armies of often women who have been volunteering to be able to deliver supplies to the elderly who perhaps weren't able

to flee, who might be shut in, who are extremely vulnerable. this group of women have been doing heroic work, social workers are also reporting a catastrophe in terms of mental help. you can imagine the trauma that anybody would experience seeing what's happened to their families, their homes, their town, their city, the sense of distress, anxiety. it's taking a terrible toll. so with that, we are also really focused on the mental health needs of ukrainians affected by this war, offering something we call psychological first aid. it's not -- the idea long-term counseling, but for somebody on the move, passing through, trying to get to a safer place, or who is stuck, unable to move and rejoin their families, it's a way to help them cope using locally hired staff we have

trained in these techniques, to allow people to get back emotionally on their feet so that they can take care of themselves and those they peer responsible for, such as children. >> all right. well, thank you for your work and thank you for being with us, ms. benoit of doctors without boarders. now we move from health concerns to food insecurities. yesterday during his visit in warsaw, poland, joe biden met with world renowned chef jose andres at the food distribution site, and praised his heroic operation to feed ukrainian refugees. >> i also want to thank my friend the great american chef jose andres and his team, they're feeding those who are yearning to be free. but helping is not something that poland or any other nation

should carry alone. all the world's democracies have a responsibility to help. >> joining me now live from lviv, ukraine, is chef jose andres, founder of the world central kitchen, and jose, thank you for being with us today. you know i'm a big fan. you provided over a million meals that we gave out with your people over the course of covid in harlem. so you know joe biden didn't have to tell me how great you are at what you do. and your organization, the world central kitchen, has been prepared about an average of 250,000 feels every day for refugees spread over seven countries. which is really incredible to say the least. can you tell us what this effort looks like behind the scenes? >> well, i want to say, sir,

that it's been an honor during this pandemic, being side by side with you and your people. this is a message that we the people together, we will always achieve more. what we see in ukraine is an amazing explosion of empathy, where every single man and woman that are available, they are doing something to bring kind of hope to people in need of light. and right now, we are in the north forming the meals. we have 300,000 tons of food, we have more than 270 shelters. more than 27 stations. we have more than 20 food tracks. more than 1,000 points of distribution.

we are in every single border crossing across all the countries surrounding ukraine, inside and outside ukraine. in ukraine, we are in 21 cities right now. we make sure that food reaches people. how? through trucks, through small vans, through trains. we are able to position food to places like one of the place es closest to mariupol. we are seeing food to places like kharkiv, to kyiv, obviously. we are making sure that cooks like me, that right now, sir, they could be in the safety of another country. but these cooks, food fighters, people that stay behind, open their kitchens, and they're cooking every day, under any circumstances, bringing hope through a plate of food when

women and children are in bunkers because they are receiving shells and missiles. this is what gives me hope about humanity, that in the war's moments of humanity, the best of humanity shows up. >> you've done this everywhere. not only have we worked together in harlem, i remember when i -- i keep mentions how the haitians were treated. i went to texas and there were thousands of haitians underneath that bridge, you had a truck down there feeding them. and your organization has done remarkable humanitarian work for refugees all over the world. i've known you for a while. in the summer of 2020, when we served over a million miles in the height of the pandemic, you came up yourself to the house of justice and handed out some of the food and your people were there for months with us. now you're doing that work on the frontlines of a war zone.

you have to put out video describing these efforts, delivering this food to places in ukraine, like odesa, kyiv or kharkiv and mariupol. walk us through how this operation has been different than others since you're in a war zone. >> well, number one, sir, you know it. boots on the ground. we are giving this to the people in need. we are an organization with boots on the ground. we are not thousands of kilometers away, looking like experts. we've been here within hours of

this conflict. and we will remain next to the people of ukraine until they don't need us any longer. a moment like this is difficult to explain everything we do. be at the end of the day that's what we do is man and woman, in the same way jesus was able to multiply fish and loves, we know how to cook and bring the food to the people that need it. one meal at a time. big problems have simple solutions. we partner with the locals. i am not feeding the ukrainians. warsaw kitchen is not feeding ukrainians. the people of ukraine are taking care of the people of ukraine. we are just here next to them, supporting them, lifting them up. giving them whatever they need to doirtd next to them.

they are making us better. we believe in longer tables, not higher walls. that we believe in respect, that we believe that sometimes a plate of food is the way to create a better world. so how do we do it? restaurants, food drives. everybody that understands operations, how do we use people of goodness to show empathy with clever ideas today? i'm asking every single organization, especially the big countries, especially the big ngos and the big non-government agencies to -- it's okay to look like an expert on a tv show. but the people of ukraine need us here. like doctors without boarders, they are here. you want to help the people of

ukraine? let me invite you to show up, to be here, to be next to them, learn from them what they need. and let's support the people of ukraine, that they are only defending their land, they are protecting their children, their elderly, and let's make sure that war will not have ever again happen. we cannot let the few, the one create mayhem in the many. that people of goodness, we must speak together and make sure that goodness wins the day, sir. >> you went to poland yesterday and thanked in person joe biden for joining one of your food distribution centers there to show the world stands with ukraine. in your perspective, what more would you like to see done on a global scale to aid this developing refugee crisis?

and what can an individual viewer that may be watching us all over the country, who may be wanting to help, what can they do to help you and the efforts you're doing on the ground? >> everybody know where is to find us on the internet if they believe -- we're showing every day what can be done. but many things have to happen. we have women, children, ukrainians that are suffering this war. europe needs to be taking care of them. i know joe biden announced 100,000 refugees are going to be let into the united states. but this is more than ukraine, reverend. this is many places around the world that are going through mayhem. children, not ukrainian, but

sometimes syrian and africa and asia and latin america. let's make sure, people, that we support leaders of empathy. they they be leaning right or left. they may be religious or not. let's make sure we will only put in power people that don't look after themselves, but people that will look for building longer tables, not higher walls. this is what everybody can do. let's make sure that we put people living as the ones to make and create a better -- we cannot bomb shelter, that kill

women. this is not the 21st century we need in terms of the letters we are having. let's bring good people like president zelenskyy and president biden, that they are trying to build their own tables. the's what everybody can do, every time we vote and speak up. >> efficient are i -- every time i talk to you i feel your passion. chef, thank you for staying up with us. i appreciate it. thank you for doing it. just ahead on "politicsnation," my political panel reacts to president trump's wild rally in georgia last night. he made some shocking comments about russia and judge ketanji brown jackson. we will break it all down. and later on msnbc, join mehdi

"politicsnation." let's dive right into several political topics with my panel. joining me now is daniel moody, host of the woke af podcast. and retired republican strategist and co-founder of foundry strategies. danielle, the next round of in-person peace talks between russia and ukraine will be held tomorrow in turkey. according to a ukrainian official, this comes as russian forces are continuing to push through ukraine from multiple directions. how much should the u.s. be involved in these peace talks? >> rev, i think the u.s. needs to be involved in these peace talks. i think it's important for us to show strong leadership at this moment, given the fact that we recognize how dangerous putin is, and the fact that he is not working along whatever kind of

organized war structure that countries agree, to he has unleashed. so the opportunity for the u.s. to be present, to make sure that these peace you can happen. >> joe biden received some backlash after his speech in poland. french president macron issued a warning about the escalating rhetoric after biden called putin a dictator who cannot remain in power. secretary blinken said the u.s. is not talking about regime change, but yesterday, at least five people were injured after three missile strikes in lviv, ukraine. hours after joe biden gave his speech. how concerned are you with the current situation? >> well, it's a very dangerous

situation and doesn't help when the president does off script and has remarks that aren't helpful. it just detracted from everything he was saying and worse, he had to go back and say once again that's not what he meant. listen, i appreciate the fact that the president kls vladamir putin a dictator, which he has, and a war criminal, which he has. but presidents need to be careful about his words. i'm not sure why he went to europe in the first place. it wasn't to reassure the europeans. the europeans seem to be 100% on board with the ukrainians being successful. the american people are on board. 63% wish biden would do more. so he went to europe and gave a european history lesson, which was nice and seemed to have a moment. but in the end, it was incoherent and confused. but when he said putin should be replaced, and i hope he is

replaced. i think we all hope he is replaced. but he seemed to be announcing a policy that he backtracked on. so we can't have those kind of missteps any more. putin is dangerous and continues to be dangerous. >> well, danielle donald trump had a lot to say last night at a rally in georgia. and in an interview with the conservative network newsmax, some of his most outlandish claims were that judge ketanji brown jackson was "unbelievably disrespectful to gop senators, and that the invasion of ukraine was somehow the result of a rigged u.s. election," which we know was not at all. he makes statements that would have been unimaginable for any other former commander in chief from either party, and yet with president trump, it has become so routine, we often just tune

it out. is that a mistake? >> i think that is it absolutely a mistake to ignore donald trump. he's still the head of the republican party, and it is unimaginable to think of the fact that you have members oh of the republican party who are in favor of putin right now. you see it on fox news and newsmax. so for this former president, twice impeached disgraced president to come out and to say we have some part in the mayhem that is taking place in ukraine right now is ridiculous, but it's also dangerous. and it is dangerous for us to ignore how he's continuing to incite his own base to violence, to action against the united states. and then, you know, on his thoughts with regard to the confirmation what americans saw is how disrespectful the republican party has become. you have this woman, this judge who is beyond qualified. if you look at all of the boxes

that she checks and you look at the three justices that trump put on the bench, they don't hold a candle to the grace and exemplar setting that we saw from judge ketanji brown jackson. so for donald trump to say anything about her disrespect, i would look at every one of his republican senators and the things that came out of their mouth, especially senator ted cruz, absolutely ridiculous. >> and what's incredible to me is him talking about respect like he treats anyone with respect, and in terms of ukraine and putin, he was the one that was buddy buddy with putin. and you can say what you want, biden has been able to unite all of nato and keep these people together. and i think that was not -- rick, let me talk to you about the supreme court confirmation hearing last week. judge ketanji brown jackson seems to be on track to being

confirmed, and there are still a few republican senators, such as susan collins and mitt romney, who haven't ruled out voting for her. how confident for you that kbj will get a bipartisan vote? is it important for that to happen in your opinion? >> i think she will, and i do think -- look, i resort to the whole model of the supreme court should not be preeminent, it is mentioned third in the construction in the constitution. it was meant to be third and a weakened court, and we give it in a sense far too much attention, because it has become powerful. i thought judge ketanji brown jackson did an extraordinary job, because she's been through this process before. she mastered the hearings, and the media by the way. i have yet to see a bad picture of her. she always looks like she's having the time of her life and is a well qualified life and i don't think her confirmation

were ever in doubt. now you have a few senators auditions for president two have to depose them. but she will be the next supreme court justice. good for her. >> danielle, your thoughts? >> i'm excited about this confirmation. to rick's point, the way that judge ketanji brown jackson showed her grace and style and elegance, it was amazing and it was a master's class in how to present in front of a very hostile senate, right? they were trying to -- republican senators were trying to ruffle her feathers, were, in fact, auditioning. and she did not allow that to detract her. she stayed clear and focused and i'm excited to see her confirmation. rick and danielle, thank you for being with us. up next, my final thought. stay with us. ext, my final thou. stay with us od place. but my body was telling a different story. i felt all people saw were my uncontrolled movements.

some mental health meds can cause tardive dyskinesia, or td, and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. ingrezza is a prescription medicine to treat adults with td movements in the face and body. it's the only treatment for td that's one pill, once-daily, with or without food. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to any of its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including sleepiness. don't drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how ingrezza affects you. other serious side effects include potential heart rhythm problems and abnormal movements. it's nice people focus more on me. ask your doctor about ingrezza, #1 prescribed for td. learn how you could pay as little as zero dollars at ingrezza.com. (fisher investments) it's easy to think that all money managers as little as zero dollars are pretty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them.
