turkey will commit to our security. we take it seriously. we condemn terrorism in all its forms, and we're actively engaged in combatting it. we're open to discussing all. turkey may have concerning our membership in open and constructive manner. these discussions have already taken place and they will continue in the next days. 24th february, i said that the masks have fallen and we see only the cold faces of war. russia's war in ukraine has changed europe and our security

environment. finland takes the step of a nato membership in order to strengthen not only its own security but also in order to strengthen wider transatlantic security. this is not the way from anybody. like you, mr. president, said, nato is protective. defensive. not a threat to anybody. at the same time, we must not forget that at this very moment, the brave people of ukraine are fighting not only for their own freedom and democracy but our common security. finland together with the eu and the united states stands firmly behind ukraine. so, mr. president, once again, i want to thank you for making

history with us. >> thank you. >> mr. president, thank you for welcoming the prime minister and me to the white house. the bonds between sweden and the united states are strong and long standing. as you know, swedes first established in your home state of delaware in 1638. we were one of the first countries to recognize united states as an independent nation in 1783. since then, our countries have developed a deep and long standing friendship through family ties, trade, and mutual interests. i personally is very much one part of this but most of all, our shared values and believes

in democracy and freedom. values and believes that are being put to the test. and today the situation in ukraine reminds us of the darkest days of european history. i must say that during dark times, it is great to be among close friends. over the past months, we have shown transatlantic unity and strength at its best. together we have responded forcefully to russia's aggression and provided unprecedented support to ukraine. we have not flinched. mr. president, i want to thank you for the massive u.s. support to ukraine and for your sustained engagement in european society. the president and i have come

here at a historic moment for our countries. and for sweden, after 200 years of military nonalignment, sweden has chosen a new path. yesterday sweden and finland submitted our formal requests to join nato. russia's full-scale aggression against a sovereign and democratic neighbor that was a water shed moment for sweden. and my government has come to the conclusion that the security of the swedish people will be best protected within the nato alliance. this is backed by broad support in the swedish parliament will. with sweden and finland as members, nato will be stronger. we are security providers with sophisticated defense

capabilities. we are champions of freedom, democracy, and human rights. we have a long tradition of military cooperation with nato, including all missions. we are right now ramping up our defense spending and we'll reach 2% of gdp as soon as practically possible. mr. president, your support for our country's nato aspirations for our security are of fundamental importance. we look forward to swift gratification process by nato members. we are right now having a dialogue with all nato member countries, including turkey, on different levels to sort out any issues at hand. in the united states, the senate is crucial at this regard and last sunday, i hosted a delegation lead by mitch

mcconnell in sweden and later today we'll meet senate majority leader schumer and other members of congress. we greatly appreciate the broad and strong support expressed by both parties in congress. mr. president, our countries also work closer together in tackling global challenges. and sweden, like other nordic countries, has shown that emissions reductions can go hand and hand with economic growth.

what with see are previously areas are no longer struggling but how to build housing infrastructure and schools quick enough to meet up with the expansion. i see the opportunities to operate between the nordic countries and the united states. i'm proud that sweden contributes to the u.s. economy and the prosperity of the american people. swedish companies are active in every single state creating more than 350,000 jobs in the united states. we are the 15th largest investor. mr. president, i want to thank you for your leadership and our joint efforts to promote democracy throughout the world. because democracy requires

constant work and safe guarding. we have to bring every new generation. sweden is prepared to show its responsibility in the north atlantic allied organization. thank you. [ inaudible question ] >> a good deal today president

biden alongside the leaders of finland and sweden talking about their application for membership in nato. the president said this is a win for democracy. he also said that the door remains open for anybody else who wants to join nato. a couple of interesting points there from the finnish president and the swedish pm. in response to russia, the reason why they're joining, the masks have dropped and they've seen the cold face of war. the swedish prime minister said "during dark times, it is great to be among close friends." with me now is elaine cooper from the pentagon. also erin mclaughlin is in kyiv. and rick stangel is with us. and kristin welker was at the

event. she joins us, as well. everybody, i'm katy tur. kristin, i found it notable that the finnish president said to turkey, we understand your concerns and want to work with you. because turkey, right now, is the block of standing in the way of their application. >> that's right. it's the big question mark. will turkey ultimately get on board? you've heard all three leaders express confidence that was still room for discussion despite the fact that turkish leaders have been quite adamant they are opposed to this move. the question why essentially they are critical of finland and sweden. they said they have failed to extradite suspects back to turkey and accused them, essentially, of supporting terrorist organizations and claimed both countries deny. you heard president biden make the strong case that if they were to join, it would strengthen nato in the face of

russia's war against ukraine. take a listen to a little bit more of what president biden had to say moments ago. >> today there is no question, nato is relevant, effective, and more needed now than ever. >> president biden has been pressed on what is giving him confidence. i don't know if you could hear the questions we were shouting, but i was among the journalists pressing him to explain what is giving him confidence that turkey will ultimately get on board. yesterday he was pressed on this. he said i think we'll be okay. jake sullivan speaking from the briefing room echoed those remarks. saying he believes there's room for agreement on the issue. all of this is at the backdrop of president biden set to depart a short time for now for his

first trip to asia as president. it's a diplomatic trip aimed at reaffirming ties in that region as he continues to grapple with the war in ukraine. >> and he'll do so with some diplomatic wind in his sails. thank you very much. erin, what is the reaction from ukraine? >> reporter: earlier today we were in a village outside of kharkiv where i am now. the second largest city in ukraine. we were shadowing war crimes prosecutors as they toured a bombed out village. this village was bombed, they say, by the russians in early march. seven bombs dropped on the small village destroying some 20 structures, killing three villagers as well as a member of the ukrainian military. one of the villagers we spoke to

lost her 31-year-old son and her home in the attack. she says that she would like to see justice for her and her son and her family. take a listen. >> do you think there will be justice for you and your son? [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: this is part of a full court press by ukrainian prosecutors to hold russia to account in terms of what happened. the alleged atrocities that have taken place here in kharkiv, the outskirts of kharkiv, and the kyiv region and devastated city of mariupol serving as a warning shot, clearly, to the rest of the world and the region with the announcement from sweden and finland today. >> thank you very much. let's talk about what it means to have nato get two new

members. in terms of practice in terms of on-the-ground changes will happen if they're accepted into the alliance? >> hi, katy. thank you for having me. it's such a -- you know, the whole listening to the swedish prime minister and president biden speak it's such -- it's both a big deal and it's a little bit sort of just deserts the american officials and the biden administration would say. vladimir putin has hated the idea of an enlarged nato for years now. by invading ukraine, he ended up with nato bigger on his doorsteps. along with finland that is close

to saint petersburg. and the whole issue of turkey admitting any opposition is also interesting as you were talking about. every one comes with caveats and negotiations. macedonia just got into nato a couple of years ago, and that took years of negotiation with the greeks in order to make that happen. i think the administration is fairly confident there's plenty they can offer the turks to get them on board with that and very few people expect the swedish/finland asession to take anywhere as long as north macedonia did. as far as practical implications on the ground, it just opens the landscape to this huge military alliance. it makes it more powerful. even more of a threat to russia. all the talk you hear from officials about how nato is not

a threat to anybody. it's not at threat to anybody until it is. because you are going to be looking at, you know, millions of armed -- the most sophisticated militaries in the world are now assembled right on the doorstep of russia at a time when the russian military has proven itself to be anything but advanced. i think it's a big deal. >> they have an 800 mile long border separating finland from russia. as you said close to saint petersburg. what do you make of russia shrugging this off? even though part of the whole reasoning behind invading ukraine, part of it, vladimir putin wanted to push nato away. he wanted it off his doorstep. >> yes. it's spectacularly backfired. his invasion of ukraine has strengthened nato.

it increased the size of nato. it's doubling the border of nato with russia. it's exactly what he didn't want. and his excuse of innovating ukraine was false anyway. so, anyway, putin is not doing well in the war. he doesn't have a lot of leverage at the moment. if i can make one point, i think we have to be careful how we talk about everyday wan's objections to the membership of finland and sweden and not echo the language that erdogan uses calling it a terrorist organization in turkey. turkey is the only country that considers them terrorist organizations. we support the british workers workers' party. for us to glide past that acknowledge without

acknowledging erdogan's objections are pretty reprehensible. >> how can they work together with turkey to resolve those concerns. it's probably something they're negotiating for which is the reason biden and others are confident they'll work it out. turkey has some leverage now and get something for it. >> let's talk about the president's trip, if we can. his trip to asia. he's going to be going to asia for the first time, including south korea. bordering north korea, they're having missiles tests in north korea.

how does the diplomatic wins wanting to join nato factor into what we might see from him in that region? >> i think it's important to a certain degree. i think he's the entire ukraine war gives him a little bit of a diplomatic win. all of a sudden, he's going in -- the whole point of the asia trip is even though it's about china. so the north korea thing is there. they're still doing their missile test. that will be something that on the administration's agenda. the back wind, the specter at this entire asia trip is china and how the chinese are now assessing their competition with america. that's going to be the theme as he makes these stops. as he visits this continent. there's this underlying message

to china as they decide whether or not they're going to go after taiwan, which they view as a renegade province and the american officials constantly saying and have been saying for the past few months that if russia thought ukraine was hard, taiwan would be harder for china because it's an island and even better defended. so there's a lot. it's so interesting. you see all the global themes at play interwoven together. he's going to the other side of the war but the ukrainian war will be following him at every stop. >> thank you so much for the context. rick, thank you for your context, as well. thank you so much for starting us off today. wednesday was the worst trading day for the dow since 2020. it's thursday. things are not looking better today. gas prices hit $4 a gallon in every single state in this country.

get it on store shelves faster. >> joining me now is kate snow who has been covering the impact of the shortage across the country and ally batali. great news for parents who want it quickly. how quickly will it be back on shelves? >> i can't tell you. i think that's the problem. i spoke with the surgeon general yesterday and said what is the hold up? and they're hoping that it will be quick now they have the production capability. but we'll see. those shelves are still empty. i have to tel you, kate, families are ending up in the hospital. we're at the point. it has gone on long enough. especially those who have babies who really need specialized formula. i talked to a family they have an 11-week-old. she's allergic to dairy. she's allergic to soy. they needed this special formula and they couldn't get it. she ended up, you know, getting

sick and not doing well. failure to thrive. they brought her to the hospital. she's doing better now. she had surgery on monday. take a listen to the mom talking to me about how hard it's been. >> we had tried everything for her. sorry. we need to have her on this specific formula to see if it will help her to keep us out of the hospital. >> but, again, they weren't able to stay out of the hospital. they're hoping to go home at some point. she's worried when they go home if they'll be able to get the specialized formula they need. they're one of four babies that have been in that charleston hospital linked to formula shortages. one because they tried to make their own homemade formula. just a note to people out there, don't try that. >> no. pediatricians are saying it can be dangerous. >> yeah. part of the issue is there is

only four companies who control the vast majority of the market. one company, in particular, controls almost all of it. that's abbott. is there talk? are you hearing talk about trying to diversify this market so if one plant goes offline it doesn't cause a problem like this? >> i don't know. i know the white house they said they're working on every avenue they can find. and imploring the defense authorization act will ramp things up at places that exist. i know the fda process of approving plants is a cumbersome one. you have to meet a lot of standards. they want to keep babies healthy. i think it might take a long time to ramp up new production plans. >> i want to make the point. you keep hearing it. why don't women breastfeed? it's not possible for a lot of women. a lot of complications, supply runs out, and a lot of us go back to work. >> yeah. >> there's not areas to pump at work or it doesn't work in the same way. formula is necessary.

it's food for babies. it's not because a mother is somehow lazy. >> exactly. that family you saw, she can't breastfeed without getting into too many details because the baby is allergic to a lot of foods she was eating. she's trying to change her diet to be able to breastfeed. the baby needs certain things. there are a lot of babies like that. >> what happened before there was formula? a lot of babies died of starvation. the house is trying to do something. walk us through that. >> yeah. they're trying to do something that will expand the fda's ability to get more places online that can produce baby formula. you guys talk about diversifying the market. it doesn't necessarily do that, but it sort of puts more manufacturers in play, at least that's one of the bills does in terms of who can put their formula through the wicc program. women, infant, and children program. that's one piece of this. abbott was one of the main suppliers. and the other piece, $28 million in emergency funding going to

the fda so they have more people, can staff up more quickly, and inspect more plants as well as the supply they're sending in. the way i've been thinking about the money, guys, it's not the conveyer belt that is getting the money. it's not going put it on the shelves itself, but ease the middle place in the process so from the time it's manufactured to the point it gets to shelves, the fda can move quickly and make sure that everything is safe. that's one of the key points that the head of the fda was making a few minutes ago in this hearing that is happening now on capitol hill. listen to what he said about what that money is doing and trying to do to make it better. >> this week we have set up a mechanism that straight lines the ability for companies that do not normally sell infant formula in this country to do so and provides oh flexibilities to the domestic distributors that can help increase availability. under this process, infant formula would be imported after the agency reviews the product

and determines it's safe and provides adequate nutrition. >> he's trying to make the process as quick as possible on the fda and regulatory side. of course, no amount of speed is fast enough when you have families who just want to be able to feed their babies. >> you know what i was saying, there's a lot of formula overseas. some parents import it even though it's not fda approved. i wonder why there can't be more conversation about the netherlands, do you have safe formula? germany, do you have safe formula? can we get it in here to help ease the crisis. >> that's what they're trying to do with they announced last night. we'll have military aircraft bringing -- >> thank you very much. >> right now the buffalo suspect was in court today. what happens? also the house passed a domestic terrorism bill almost entirely along party lines. in why didn't the house republicans get on board?

the suspect in the buffalo supermarket shooting just appeared in a courtroom. the alleged gunman stood silent through the hearing was indicted by the grand jury of one count of first-degree murder. ron allen is live from buffalo with more. i expect the counts will multiply as we go on? >> reporter: yes. there's a grand jury process here in new york state, and that jury is listening to more evidence that the district attorney is presenting in the days and weeks to come. yes, we expect there will be more than one count. there's the possibility he may be charged with a terrorism-related offense. there's also a federal proceeding underway where he may be charged with committing a hate crime, which is depending upon how the charge is framed, could carry the death penalty, if convicted. we didn't get that far today.

this was primarily a procedural hearing to inform the judge that the grand jury had indicted the suspect and then the process continues to move on. the next hearing is sometime in early june. june 9th, i believe, we may hear more about other charges. another thing happened at the courthouse today, there was a proceeding involving another individual andrew marsh. he was charged with making a terrorist statement. he's a second person who has been arrested and charged here in connection with making threats to individuals and referencing what happened, the attack. intimidating people. there was an incident in the grocery store, not the one where the attack happened but another grocery store, the individual was intimidating some of the employees. saying things and referencing the attack that happened. he was asked to leave the store. he was asked to leave the store. he didn't. the police came and escorted him out. he's been charged with making

terrorism threats that carries a 70-year prison sentence. there's been a lot happening around town here. there's been threats on social media to the schools in the area. we haven't gotten specific numbers, but as many as a third of schools have been closed. there's a heavy police presence and security presence because of these threats which have been generalized and not credible, as of yet, we understand. >> ron allen in buffalo, thank you very much. after the shooting in buffalo, there's new urgency in washington to address the threat of domestic terror. the house passed the domestic terrorism prevengs act overnight. it would create domestic terrorism offices within the doj and the department of homeland of security, and fbi. and require them to release a joint report twice a year on their findings. only one republican voted in favor of the bill, meaning it's likely to face a tough road ahead in a 50/50 divided senate.

percent. 0.5% automatically triggers a recount. it's well within the recount zone. there are some votes left to be counted. there aren't that many left to be counted. no matter what happens with the remaining votes for the national tally, there's a couple of directions it could go, no matter what happens, this final result is poised to land well within the recount range. the recount would be announced next week. then it would -- it could go until june 7th. just keep that in mind. it may not be until june 7th. keep your eye on with oz ahead. allegheny county, the area around pittsburgh, there's about 31 precincts where they had some technical issues and yet to

release the results from election day. from the folks who voted on election day. we think there's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 to 2,000 votes. 2,000 republican votes that will come out of allegheny county. when will they announce them? maybe mond or next week. we're not clear. it's mccormack's home county. he's been doing well with type of vote. he's been beating oz by about six points in this area. mccormack could make small gains on oz with those votes. and the other place is city of philadelphia. we think there's about 800 to 900 outstanding republican votes. again, these were cast on election day. precincts for technical reasons haven't reported yet. philadelphia oz is doing better. it could be a chance for oz to pad his lead a little bit here in philadelphia.

the final big variable here, and stop me if you heard the story, the mail in ballots. about 10,000 to 15,000 left. we're not sure of the exact number. those are being counted very, very slowly in counties across the state. the key on the mail in ballots is that mccormick, the pattern is mccormick is doing better than oz in the mail ballots. stuff counted since yesterday, mccormick is running seven points ahead of oz. if that holds, mccormick could make up ground. he could make up ground in allegheny county. oz could get a pad out of philadelphia. you just start playing with the numbers, extrapolating and you have a scenario where maybe at the best for mccormick, he leapfrogs oz and moves ahead by a couple hundred. the best for oz, he is able to pod his lead in philadelphia and stayed ahead by around 1,000

votes. that's basically the range we are looking at. no matter where that lands then when everything is counted, you are going to be well within that recount criteria. that process, which will take a couple weeks, will kick off. at the end of that, you will have a republican nominee for the senate in pennsylvania. >> we will wait with baited breath to find out. steve kornacki, thank you very much. come one, come all. a texas restaurant owner has baby formula. he is giving it away for free. you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need? oh, like how i customized this scarf? wow, first time? check out this backpack i made for marco. oh yeah? well, check out this tux. oh, nice. that'll go perfect with these. dude... those are so fire.

couldn't charge her. that led to six cases and then i continued to buy it until we bought all of it that they had in stock. >> how many moms are you seeing? >> over 200 moms come in, mom or dad. >> not just mom. parents, i'm sure dads are buying as well. don't want to make it all about mom. >> and grandfather and grandma. >> how much have you spent? it's funny, because somebody asked me a little while ago. i never did the math. i probably don't want to. it's not the fact for me. i just wanted to help. >> i'm sure there's going to be somebody out there -- i was thinking it. if you are buying it from the supplier, are you taking it off shelves somewhere? are you making sure people know that you have it here? >> that's a question that comes up. i'm not. u.s. food service sells to health care facilities. this product was probably

brought in for a health care facility that they don't service anymore or that just -- they don't have the movement so they didn't need it. this product was just sitting on the shelf in dallas. since i'm a food service customer, i was able to purchase it. i'm not hurting any hospital or health care facility out there. >> if somebody needs it, what do they do? >> they come in restaurant and ask for a case. they don't have to eat there. they don't have to be a former customer or anything like that. if you need it, you can have it. >> how much do you have right now? >> we just ran out. u.s. food service is scrambling to get me more from other divisions. they have divisions across the nation. they are helping me find more so i can get it and get it to my restaurant and hand it out. >> do you have good idea when it's going to be restocked, when you are going to get more? >> i'm hoping this week. i should hear something today. i've been waiting for the phone call. >> can i ask you what kind? that's very important.

when you get a kid on a certain formula, it's hard to switch to something else. >> yeah. some babies need soy based. this is milk based. it's a general product. a lot of infants can use it. it's good from infant to 12 months. it's a milk base. it's a good all around formula. it's good start by gerber. >> how long are you going to do this? >> as long as i can keep getting it or until the market catches up and they can stock it again. >> thank you so much for doing this. i know there are a lot of parents, grandparents who are super scared. there's nothing, frankly nothing scarier than finding your baby is hungry and you are running out of food, especially when that is all they can eat. your restaurant is called our place. where in texas are you? >> we are south of arlington in

mansfield, texas. we are in the dfw location. >> you dallas-ft. worth families, be on the lookout. appreciate it. >> thank you. it was nice meeting you. before we go, some bad news for all of us here at msnbc and nbc. some very happy news for pete williams. our longtime justice correspondent is retiring later this summer. he has been at nbc news for just shy of 30 years. as you well know, because you all are a part of our family, too, he is the one person -- the military assault. >> it's a big and bloody battle on the eastern front of the country. >> there's real fear of fresh russian attacks. >> the humanitarian crisis. >> steady, reliable and accurate information stream during big breaking news like 9/11 on the boston marathon bombings or to translate supreme court

decisions that change the country, like marriage equality and citizens united. throughout his career, he knew being first wasn't more important than being right. although, he was first quite a bit. including on the imminent retirement of justice stephen breyer. most importantly, pete williams is a good dude. this, too, i can say from experience. while we and our coverage will miss him dearly, it is hard to turn away as you know from that red on air light, most of us don't do it on our own terms. we are thrilled for whatever is on the other side of all of this for pete. please do send dispatches, pete williams, my friend, congratulations and good luck. that will do it for me this hour. i will be back at 2:00 p.m.
