>> good evening and welcome to politicsnation. tonight lead, liberty and repression. right now, while the west fights to hold the line against vladimir putin's tyranny and ukraine's president calls for more courage from its allies. here in the united states,

democracy and its defenders must contend with a conservative movement, that while still divided in its stance on russia, unified in criticizing biden's response to putin's aggression. one of the loudest critics is the gop's de facto leader, who just hours after the presidents speech condemning vladimir putin, before a crowd of ukrainian refugees, took the stage to once again a praise putin's intelligence. to the cheers of his followers again. >> if you ask me is putin's war, yes putin was smart, and i actually thought he was going to be negotiating. that's a hell of a way to negotiate. >> the binding tie in both cases is a love of power and a contempt for inclusive democracy. most recently shown here in the

u.s. by the senate republicans 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 and overturn a fair election, because her side did not win. all of that on our show tonight. we start new crime, joining me now is nbc's -- he is in lviv ukraine. tell us about the state of the city that you are in right now. >> good afternoon reverend, as you know, we spoke yesterday, there had been an attack just close to the city center here. you russians confirming what they had done yesterday.

things that we had heard from ukrainian officials and things that we had seen with our own eyes. a spokesman for the ministry of defense and russia saying that they had destroyed a large fuel depot. that they had used precision long range missiles from the city to destroy that. also saying that they had destroyed some sort of military depot or factory. that they did not give many details on, using those same weapons. and ukrainian officials were saying that extensive damage was done to both of those facilities. that no houses were destroyed. but five people were injured. nobody was killed. but that certainly punctured the sense of security here. i would not say that it shattered the peace. but 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 that they were maybe a week ago. and today we had a chance to go

and speak to the residents of lviv and ask them how they felt about this. if they were frightened, if they thought more was coming. we spoke to a young lady this morning, let us take a listen to what she had to tell us. >> we are staying at a shelter with my friends. and yeah, it was 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 civilians and people who are living here. and hopefully it would not happen. >> there is still a sense of security in this city. many of the residents that we speak to consider themselves lucky that they are not under heavy shelling. but a question that is on all of their lips here, is how long will look to remain a sanctuary, a safe haven. because all of the people that we have spoken to say that vladimir putin is capable of

anything. pointing out that he has bombed churches, schools, hospitals. even though they feel relatively safe here, they wonder how long that safety will last for. >> i thank you, nbc ali arruda see who is in ukraine. joining me now is senator amy klobuchar, of minnesota, she is a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, let me go right to. russia officially claiming responsibility for them three missile strikes yesterday in lviv ukraine. 200 miles from where president biden was speaking in warsaw poland at the time. meanwhile, the chair of the senate intel committee issued new warnings today about looming russia cyberattacks on a u.s. infrastructure. are these warning signs for what is to come? how concerned are you about

vladimir putin retaliating against the united states directly? >> with vladimir putin owl, anything is possible. he is a thug, he bombs maternity hospitals, religious institutions. he knows no limit. i was near where the president was this weekend, just a few weeks ago. these little kids, coming across the border, leaving everything behind, all of their lives in their backpacks. moms leaving their husbands behind to fight, he does not care. and when you are dealing with somebody like that, in vladimir putin, you have to imagine that anything is possible. and that is why you are seeing these warnings of retaliatory attacks on our country. now obviously, we also have significant cyber capabilities. not only to defend ourselves, but to engage in this area. so, i think that the president in his strong speech in poland,

made very clear, it was a rallying chloride for democracies against autocracies. and we are upping our aid to nato and doing everything that we can to help. >> let me go off of that speech that biden made in poland. but there is also some backlash to him saying that putin cannot remain in power. but today secretary of state anthony blinken tried to clarify to the presidents comments, let us listen to that. >> i think the white house made the point last night that quite simply, president putin cannot be empowered, to wage war, or engage on aggression in ukraine, or anyone else. and as you know, and as you've heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy for a regime change in russia or anywhere else for that matter. now france and britain have

distance themselves from those remarks, so what is your reaction to what the president said and would you take him to have met where he said. the white house is clarified this, and our policy has been clear, to our allies, to americans and certainly to russia, that, and i will read from the speech itself, the president said that nato is a defensive alliance. it has never sought the demise of russia, and they have clarified that he was talking about putin's disrespect for sovereignty, how he was treating ukraine, as opposed to a regime change. that being said al, i am an advocate for aggressive aid to ukraine. and that means in humanitarian, i'm glad that the president has said we are accepting refugees and also military help from the drones that we have sent in to 800 stingers, to thousands of javelin's, and everything that we can do to assist president zelenskyy. and i have been an early

supporter of this aid, because we are dealing with evil, with a man that knows no limits. >> i agree with you, he knows no limits, he has demonstrated that, and i agree with you on the aid and certainly even refugees. but everybody did not agree with me when i said that we should have refugees taken in from haiti. i think we should have one policy no matter where it is. let me switch gears. i'll, just to make clear, i'm a big believer in refugees having the biggest population of somali refugees. >> i know you are. >> i would actually raise the cap on refugees around the world. we need more people coming to our country to help. we need more workers and the like. and i hope that would be enough. >> that's why i said it with you here. because when i went down to the texas bridge around the haitian thing, you are one of the people that i talked to and was very supportive of seeing you for haiti. i just wish that everybody in

washington was consistent on the issue like you have been. let us switch gears now to the confirmation hearings of judge ketanji brown-jackson. you not only got a front row seat to the historic moment, but unfortunately, you had to witness the disgraceful attacks on judge jackson's character by senate republicans. and despite the onslaught of their smear campaign, judge jackson handled herself with intellect, grace, and poise under pressure. and we can all learn a thing or two from her. now democrats expect judge jackson to receive full support from their 50 member caucus. but there are still a few who have not made their preference known. that is not enough to get her pointed, it is still up to the air whether any republicans will support at all. so what can you tell where you are. where we are in this process now and we are the next steps

and do you think that it is important to have a bipartisan vote? >> first of all our, she is going to walk with her head high when she walks into that supreme court. a pillar of strength, every little girl and boy in this country is going to know anything and everything is possible. as she was an incredible nominee the last few days. dodging the worst of the most indecent questions and dodging them in a way that i mean, she answered them in a way that i have never seen. she had in coming this way, in coming that way, going after her and she still answered them. one through the facts of the cases and i just thought that it was unbelievable what the colleagues were doing. and as for the future, she will not get confirmed in two years, she will not get confirmed in two months, she will be confirmed in two weeks. we are going to get this done and i am very hopeful that she will have bipartisan support.

she is had it in every single nomination here that she has had. she has come out of the senate with bipartisan support. a number of senators have issued positive statements about her in the past months. stay tuned, she will get bipartisan report. and i think that a lot of it had to do with how she had to deal with these incredibly unfair questions that were baseless and have to answer them one by one, by one. >> senator, i am out of time, but i must ask you before we lose you, your thoughts on the case of the text messages where jeanne thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas, talk to trump staffers about overturning the 2020 election. republicans say that it is okay and that it is 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-presidents chief of staff, basically telling him to overturn illegal presidential election. basically suggesting an insurrection, in writing, in text and so now you get to the next step, what happens, we know that january six commission is investigating this. clarence thomas must recuse himself, he recused himself in 1995 i'll from a case where his son was a student at a college in a case involve that school. or justice breyer, recusing himself when his wife was on the board of an entity that had a case before the supreme court. now there are federal rules, ethics rules that applies to every single federal judge. and that includes. that you cannot have propriety, that you have to be impartial when it comes to family member issues. it does not apply, according to the supreme court, it does not

apply to them, and i think that justice roberts, somebody who i have respect for, has to one, cannot no longer be silent on this. and number two, we have to see ethics rules, chris murphy has a bill that i have long supported, basically instructing the judicial conference to put together those ethics rules for the supreme court. that is what we need going forward. >> all right, senator amy cohen sure, thank you so much for being on. >> thank you. >> ukraine is unable to escape russia's wrath, left to suffer with dwindling resources, after the break, we will talk with jose on this and doctors without borders about how they are working to fill the gaps. but first, my colleague richard louis with today's other top news stories, richard? >> a very good sunday to you, the third largest city in the world will be on partial lockdown starting on monday, 11 million shanghai residents cannot go out for four days. citywide covid-19 testing is

now also mandatory, to try and offset a surge of new infections there. as they hit a daily record of 1609 cases this past week. new details in the death of drummer taylor hawkins from the rock band foo fighters. colombian officials say that the musician had ten different substances in his system at the time of his death. this included opioids and various anti depressants. and, the 94th academy awards will be held tonight at the debate theater in los angeles california. the awards ceremony is back in hollywood with a full audience, after last year's show was scaled back due to the coronavirus restrictions. welcome back to politics nations right after this. nations right after this

no exception for its most vulnerable citizen 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 un world health organization. sick and injured civilians, besieged cities, faced with the grim choice of choosing between staying hidden without care. or risking violence on the streets to search for. joining me now is that wall, the executive director of doctors without borders. spend more, first of all thank you for being with us tonight. i would like to start off by asking, what you have heard from the doctors in your organization on the ground and

in the region of ukraine itself. where even hospitals are not safe, what can you tell us? >> thank you for having me, i'm actually here not as the executive director but as part of our emergency teams. and i have been working to try and draw iowa is that we are witnessing. because bearing witness is a key part of the action that we bring. and we hope through the to be able to improve things for people. with the doctors are telling me is that through the various places that we have been going out to work, that we have very dedicated, committed, capable and highly skilled ukrainian positions and nurses. really running hospitals in those places that have not fallen under the attacks are reported by the world health organization. and these doctors have not got the specific skills in trauma

surgery. the kind of war wounded situations, the vascular surgery, that is really highly specialized. and that is something that we have been able to support them with, with on-site trainings and various locations that are seeing already some of the wounded coming out of besieged areas. or areas that have come under attack. or they are preparing for the worst so a big part of our effort here is to support those hospitals. not only with medical supplies, but to be able to bring to them our expertise as an organization with a long history of doing medicine in conflict zones. >> how have you've been able to move medical supplies through a nation under siege? >> it is 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, where we were

loaded with medical supplies for mariupol, which is encircled. and we had some sense of assurance, was littered with land mines, various kinds of improvised explosive devices, so a small car might be able to get through, however, large trucks, transport trucks, there's just no way that they can go along that road. and so it is extremely treacherous. now amazingly enough, the trains seem to be working pretty well. so that is increasingly becoming the option. they are mostly running. and can take a significant and of course have been used for people to evacuate certain regions as well. so that is something that is seriously under consideration. and being expanded as we've already done in the last month. >> i know that your organization was forced to suspend several programs and 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 the virus. so are you concerned about the lingering health impacts of this war in ukraine, or even in russia for that matter? >> yes, of course, we are thinking of covid. we are also thinking of tuberculosis and drug resistant tuberculosis. many of the programs that we are offering, especially since 2014, which was the first part of the war if you will. we are really focused on those long term kind of diseases. the chronic diseases, and things like hiv. and 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 that you might more often see among the elderly. so compound that of course with covid and we know that it is 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 were not able to flee, who might be shot in, who are extremely vulnerable. this group of women have been doing a heroic work. social workers also are reporting a catastrophe in terms of mental health. you can imagine the trauma that anyone would experience seeing what is happened to their families, their homes, their town, their city. the sense of distress, anxiety, it is taking a terrible toll and so with that, we are also

really focused on the mental health needs of ukrainians that are affected by this war. offering something that we call psychological first aid, which is really just not the ideal long term counseling, but for somebody who is on the move, passing through, trying to get to a safer place, or who was stuck unable to move and rejoin their families, it is a way to help them cope using locally hired staff that we trained in these techniques to allow people to be able to get back emotionally on their feet, so that they can take care of themselves and take care of those that they are responsible for, such as children. >> thank you for your work, thank you for being with us this been wall of doctors without borders. now we move from health concerns, to food insecurities. yesterday, during a visit in warsaw poland, president joe biden met with world renowned chef, jose on the base. at the world central kitchen

food distribution site and praised his heroic operation to feed ukrainian refugees. >> i want to thank my friend the american chef jose andreas and his team, for feeding those and helping these refugees is not something that poland or any nations should carry alone. all the world democracies have a responsibility. >> joining me now live from lviv ukraine, is chef jose andrés, the founder of the world central kitchen and owner of think food group. josé, thank you for being with us today. you know that i am a big fan. you are partnered and have provided over 1 million meals that we have given up with your people over the course of covid in harlem. so you know, president biden

have to tell me how great you are what you do. and your organization, the world central kitchen has been preparing an average of 250,000 meals every day for refugees. spread over seven countries, which is really incredible to say the least. so can you tell us what these efforts look like behind the scenes? >> well, i want to say that it has been an honor. to be side by side with you and your people. and this is the message that we the people together will always achieve more. what we see in ukraine, is an amazing explosion of empathy. where every single men and women that are capable, they are doing something to bring hope to people in need of

light. and right now, we are doing around 4 million meals. we have more than $3,000 of food that we have put inside ukraine. we are in more than 270 shelters. we are in more than 27 stations and bus stations. we have more than 24 trucks, more than 1000 -- -- we are in every single border crossing across all of the countries surrounding ukraine. inside and outside. and ukraine, we are in more than 21 cities right now. and so what do we do. it is simple, we make sure that food is an engine of change. we make sure that food reaches people how? three trucks, through trains. we are able to position food through places, like one of the places closest to mariupol. we're sending food to dna put on, to places like kharkiv, to

kyiv obviously. and we are making sure that cooks like me. that right now, they could be in the safety of another country. but these cooks food, fighters. people that stay behind, open their kitchens, and they are cooking every day under any circumstance and bringing hope through a plate of food, when women and children are in bunkers because they are receiving missiles. this is what gives me hope about humanity, that in the worst moments of humanity, the best of humanity shows up. >> you've done this everywhere. not only did we work together in harlem, i remember, i keep mentioning about how the haitians were treated, i want to texas and there were thousands of haitians under that bridge. you had a truck down there feeding them. so you have been consistent.

and your organization has done remarkable humanitarian work for refugees all over the world. i've known you for a while. and in fact in the summer of 2020, when we served over 1 million meals during the height of the pandemic, you came up yourself to the house of justice and helped to hand out some of the food. but now you are doing that work on the front lines of a war zone. you have to put out videos describing these efforts of delivering food to places and ukraine. like kyiv, kharkiv, mariupol. walk us through now how this operation has been different than others since you are >> in a war zone? well, number one sir, you know it. boots on the ground.

-- out of an officer, she's a spread his gospel by being next to the people that need it, to be heard. so the voices, to the people in need. -- we are with boots on the ground. we are not thousands of kilometers away, looking like experts. we have been here -- and they don't need us any longer. a moment like this is difficult to explain -- but at the end of the day, that is what we do. and a man and woman with goodness, and the same way jesus would say multiply fish and love -- what we do, we know how to cook, and we know how to bring the food to the people that need it.

one meal at a time big problems are very simple solutions. we partner with the locals. i am not feeding ukrainians, the 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 do next to them. they are making us better. we are here only to send a big message that we believe in a longer tables, not more. we believe in respect. we believe that sometimes, a plate of food is the way to create a better world. so how do we do it? restaurants. catering companies. food trucks. everybody that understands operations, how we use buses, how we use people of goodness, to show empathy with clever ideas.

i'm asking every single organization, especially the big countries, especially the big and ngos and the big non government agencies, it is okay to look like an expert on a tv show, but the people of ukraine need us here. doctors without borders, 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, listen to them, learn from them, what they need, and let the people of ukraine defend their own land, they are protecting their children, their elderly. let's make sure that war will not ever again have a space in the 21st century. we cannot let a few, the one, create fear in the many. the people of goodness, we must

speak up, we must be together. we must make sure that goodness is what wins the day. >> i have to ask you this, you went to poland yesterday and thanked in-person president biden for joining one of your food distribution centers there to show the world stands with ukraine. and 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, who may be watching us all over the country, who may be wanting to help, what can they do to help you and the efforts that you are doing on the ground? >> everybody knows where to find us on the internet, maybe they want -- we are showing every day what can be done. but, many things have to happen. we have refugees, we have women, children, ukrainians who are

suffering in this war. we need to take care of, them because we are next to them. i know president biden already announced 100,000 refugees will be allowed into the united states, but this is more than ukraine. this is many places around the world that we are going through mayhem. children not ukrainian, but sometimes syrian, and -- african, latin america. let's make sure people, that we support leaders of empathy. they may be leaning right, they may be leaning left, they may be religious or not, let's make sure we will only put in power as leaders, people who don't look after themselves, but who will look for building longer

tables not hire walls. people who will look for the best -- this as whatever a body can do. let's make sure that we put people living as the ones to make and create a better world. we cannot have leaders that create mayhem, that bomb children, that kill women. this is not the 21st century. we need in terms of leaders, we need to have those buffalo away and let's bring good people like president zelenskyy, like president biden, that they are trying to be longer tables. that is what everybody can do. every time we've, oh every time we speak up. >> well, every time we talk to, you i feel your passion, and your sincerity. i'm very proud that we have worked together, and we will continue. to jose andriy, thank you for

staying up, you stayed up late, but i appreciate it. thank you for doing. just ahead on politics nation, my political panel reacts to former president trump's wild rally in georgia last night. the next president made -- shocking comments about russia and judge ketanji brown jackson. we will bring it all down. later on msnbc, join many hassan for a special report on the global fight for democracy. many will examine the fragile state of democracy in this time of international upheaval. abroad, and at home. watch the muddy hassan show, the global fight for democracy tonight at 8 pm eastern on msnbc. we will be right back.

-- with my panel joining me now is -- host of the wall kyiv podcast, and co-host of democracy is podcast. and retired republican strategist and cofounder of

cofounder we strategies. -- russia and ukraine will be held tomorrow in turkey. according to a ukrainian officials, this comes as russian forces are continuing to push from ukraine, to multiple directions. how much should the u.s. be involved in these peace talks? >> rev, i think that the u.s. needs to be involved of these peace talks, i think it is very important for us to show really strong leadership at this moment given the fact that we recognize how dangerous putin is. the fact that he is not working along whatever kind of organized war structure, he is unleashed. so the opportunity for the u.s. to be president, to make sure that these peace talks happen, it is important. >> president biden received some backlash from other countries after his speech in poland, french president

emmanuel macron issued a warning about the escalating -- biden's comment calling for vladimir putin a dictator, who cannot remain in power. essentially blinken tried to soften those governments earlier saying the u.s. is not calling for regime change, on the other hand putin is already escalating the conflict. five people were injured after three missile strikes in lviv ukraine, hours after president biden gave his speech, how concerned are you with the current situation escalating? >> well, it's a very dangerous situation, it doesn't help when the president goes off script and has remarks that aren't helpful. in fact, it is detracted from everything that he was saying, and worsened that he had to go back and say once again, that that is not what he meant. listen, i appreciate the fact that biden fall --

vladimir putin a dictator which he has, and a war criminal, which he has. but presidents have to be very careful about the war. i'm not sure why he went to europe in the first place, it sure he wasn't to reassure the europeans, irpin seem to be 100% on board with ukrainians being successful. the american people are on, board 63% with biden. so he went to europe, and gave a european history lesson which was all and try to have a moment, but in the end, it was incoherent and confused. in the, and when he said that 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 which than he at the backtrack on. so, we can't have those kinds of missteps anymore. putin is dangerous, and continues to be an, interests and will be dangerous. >> well, daniel, donald trump had a lot to say last night at

a rally in georgia. in an interview with the conservative network newsmax, some of his most outlandish claims or that judge ketanji brown-jackson was, quote, unbelievably disrespectful to gop senators. the invasion of ukraine was somehow the result of a rigged u.s. election, which of course we know was not rigged at all. the ex president made statements that would have been unimaginable for any other former commander in chief, from either party. and yet, with trump, it has been so routine, we often just tune it out. is that in mistake? >> i think it is absolutely a mistake to ignore donald trump. he is still the head of the republican party, and it is unimaginable to think of the fact that you have members of the republican party who are in favor of putin right now. you see it on fox news, you see

it on newsmax. so for this former president, twice impeached disgraced president to come out and say, we have some part in the mayhem that is taking place in ukraine right now, is absolutely ridiculous, but also dangerous. it is dangerous for us to ignore how he is continuing to incite his own base the violence, to action against the united states. and on his thoughts with regards to the confirmation hearing, what americans saw is that how disrespectful the republican party has become, right? how you have this woman, this judge was beyond qualified, if you look at all 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 exemplary setting that we saw from ketanji brown. so for donald trump to say anything about her disrespect, i would look at every single one of his republican senators

and the things that came out of their mouths, especially senator ted cruz. absolutely ridiculous. >> well, what is incredible to me is him talking about respect like he is -- treating anyone with respect. in terms of ukraine, and putin, he was the one that was buddy buddy with putin. you could say what you, want biden has been united with nato and keeping these people together. i think that was not -- let me talk about the supreme court confirmation hearing last week. judge ketanji brown-jackson seems to be on track to be in confirmed, and there are still a few republican senators such as susan collins and mitt romney who have ruled out voting for. how confident are you that kbj will get a bipartisan vote? is it important for that to happen in your opinion? >> i think she will.

i do think -- look, i resort to the whole model of the supreme court should not be -- construction and constitution, it was meant to be a weekend court. we given a sense far too much attention because it has become powerful. i thought charge ketanji brown jackson did in extraordinary job, because she has been through this process before, she mastered the hearings, she mastered the meeting 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. it she is clearly while qualified judge. -- now you have a few senators who are auditioning for a president who have to oppose them because there is some role that they have to. that is what they did, and it is -- next supreme court justice. good for her. >> daniel, your thoughts? >> i mean, i'm excited about this confirmation. i think to, ricks, point the

way that ketanji brown jackson showed herself, showed us tell and elegance, it was amazing. it was a master class in how to presented front of a very hostile senate. right? they were trying -- republican senators were trying to ruffle her feathers, they were in fact auditioning. she did not allow that to distract her. she said, cleared and focused, and an excited to see her confirmation. thank you both for being with us. next, my final thoughts. stay with us. s. stay with us you can always get the brands you trust. the support you need. and dependability you can count on. plus, get financing up to 60 months on qualifying purchases. fast and free delivery. and installation and haul-away. so with wayfair, you'll always find your perfect match. ♪ wayfair you got just what i need ♪
