joining us now is minnesota senator amy klobuchar. it is unclear to me what's the average american thinks of the electoral count act. there is a bipartisan act that needs to be fixed. it's not 100 percent clear that if you fix it, donald trump and people like him can't get away with what they're trying to do but it does seem to be agreed upon that if we fix this we are at least some of the way they're to preventing what happened last year? >> let me make clear the way that we beat donald trump and his extremists this is the way what happened last night in kansas. where regular people turned out in record numbers and defeated an extremist provision on abortion. fast forward to the elections. the way that we win is by winning the house and senate and being able to salvage our democracy. for some of these people who won on the republican side last night. but let me focus on this bipartisan offer. collins, manchin and a whole group of senators, senator blunt and i have been working with them for months and we are really excited about this

. >> but the reason why the people who may have likened amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren -- they allto read from page 21, you said within the collective exhale of relief and jubilation from biden harris voters, he was also some shocking. because to get his electoral trouncing of trump and become the 46th president of the united states meant that died in biden dash directly through the hopes and historic prospects of the crewmen running the same democratic primary cycle -- more women running at one time than ever before. and the point here is that, if you didn't like one of the women, you had five other. if you don't like to have them, you had for theirs. if you didn't like two of them, you had three others. and yet, in the end, there are a lot of people for whom joe biden was not the first choice but they did believe that he was the one that could beat donald trump. >> yeah, and i was shocked by this, because the title isn't so much ironic because the women in the cycle were not ultimately electable. but i do firmly believe that if you vote for these candidates, then they could win a

democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota and rob portman of ohio also met with president volodymyrthen visited bucha where russia accused of committing war crimes. speaking to nbc news, this is how both senators summed up the situation on the ground. >> no one ever thought this was going to be easy, certainly not the ukrainian people. but they have stunned the world as we told president zelenskyy and in terms of their bravery and their courage. and it just makes you realize that you can stand up to bullies, but you have to do it and you have to go to your friends. and wouldn't be where we are right now if it wasn't for the bravery of the ukrainian people. >> i say the sanctions need to be tightened significantly. the best place to look right now is to europe. europe made a commitment to cut off energy from russia. they have done so as of this month. with regard to coal said they will do it with regard to oil and gas next year. it's essential. >> a team from the atopic energy agency is going to inspect damage at russian-occupied nuclear power plant that sparked international fears o

democratic senator amy klobuchar questioned how those boxes were able to make it out of the white house in the first place. >> one of the statues they used in the search warrant was the espionage act. another one was that you cannot destroy federal documents, or you cannot take federal documents out of secure locations. as a senator, i know when i look at the classified documents, i've got to go in a special room, and i can't even wear my fitbit. >> to be fair, i don't think that the former president has a fitbit. people familiar with the search told the washington post that agents were looking for the classified documents about nuclear weapons. trump supporting republicans would rather talk about anything else right now. literally, anything else. >> i think that most republicans would prefer to look right now at the 2022 midterms coming up. we would much prefer to focus on what the policies are right now that are putting our economy -- >> you heard the man. the party that once claimed to be the party of national security now no longer cares about classifying documents going missing. sh
