senator sasse was talking about this.t somehow ukraine is going to fall, but how can we help? what can we do now in terms of added support that will allow them to be better opposition to the russians without falling into the arms here of generals who say a no-fly zone or u.s. getting -- we don't want world war iii. i think no one wants that, but we want to know that nobody is simply standing by while the ukrainians suffer. >> trace: how we come a very tough week at fox news, hit very close to home, we lost two of our colleagues when there was an attack and kyiv, were talk about our cameramen. i'm a journalist sasha, both were killed, benjamin hall was very badly wounded in that. i want to play secretary of state secretary antony blinken and get your thoughts on the other side. >> being a war correspondent is vital work. they make sure that the world knows what's really happening when armies move in and bombs start falling. >> trace: how we, talk about what you have seen in the past few weeks that has struck you. >> the tr

sasse: where are the pieces, dude? the presiding officer: i ask the senators to direct their questioning to the president and give the other senators the decorum to respond. mr. murphy: so inside every piece of legislation are elements that many of us disagree with, right? inside that budget you voted against are all sorts of things that i disagree with. but in the end, in order to govern the country, you have to be able to find a path to compromise and what i found over the time that i've been here is that there is a pathway to getting things done that generally involves 90% to 100% of democrats and a small slice of republicans. it is increasingly hard to find compromise that involves more than 10 or 15 republicans because, as you state, inside these pieces of legislation, there are things to disagree with, right? there are things you find objectionable. and so while in the past people would set aside some of the things that they weren't happy about in the interest of the greater good, today there seems to be a higher

i got the chance to hear some of senator sasse's remarks i noted the charts with my name on it accusing me of what he called hackery. not sure what the rules of the senate are. i'm not u sure that is becoming of the united states senate to use those terms on fellow members. but i will come down to the floor to explain why i think we should have a legitimate debate in this chamber about a phenomenon where republicans very often are not willing to cast their vote in a way that is aligned with their voice. yes, i noted this morning and on the senators chart that this week of those who stood up and not press conference eviscerated biden's handling of the ukraine crisis, two thirds voted against the budget that included $14 billion of aid to ukraine. i see a fundamental inconsistency to criticize the administration for not doing enough but then not being willing to cast a vote to get aid to the people of ukraine. senator sasse second chart , the one that did not accuse me of hackery laid out a very true statement where a small percentage of the overall budget is dedicated to ukraine aid and

the senator from nebraska, senator sasse. senator sasse: thank you, chairman. judge, welcome back. by my quick eye balling account of this, you are 51% done as of this moment. which feels more like a curse than a blessing but i meant it as a good thing. i think i'm number 12 of 22. you're just past halfway down on the downhill. thank you as well for spending time with me in my office and thank you for answering the questions of the committee today. and tomorrow. what you've said in public match what is you've said in private. and that's obviously a testament to your character. that also can be helpful to rebuilding public trust. thank you for the ways you've engaged thus far. judge, you are likely to go on to serve a lifetime appointment on the supreme court. which means that this is very likely the last job interview you ever have. judge jackson: and the most public, senator. senator sasse: the processes are a lot like a probging to exam -- proctology exam. this is an opportunity for to you explain to the american people how you view a supreme court justice's job and the limits an

judge jackson sasse collective bargaininged at every level of the -- judge jackson has clerked at every level of the federal judiciary. most would consider a clerkship apartment any level as an achievement for years. she served at every level of the federal judiciary including the supreme court. she served in many. she was confirmed by the senate unanimously to serve on the u.s. sentencing commission and she would be the first justice since thurgood marshall with considerable defense experience. her qualifications are exceptional. in every role she's held, she has earned a reputation for thoughtfulness, even handedness and collegiality and just as impressive as judge jackson's record is her character and temperament. humble, personable, she's g.e.d. indicated herself to i can maaing about our legal system more understandable and more accessible for everyone who came in her courtroom. finally, of course, there is the perspective that judge jackson will bring. over the course of its history, 115 justices have served on the supreme court. if she's confirmed, judge jackson will be the 116th

sasse: thank you madam president. i want to talk about three things. first, ukraine. what do they need? how much aid? what kinds? what kinds? >> first ukraine what do they need how much aid and how do we get it to them? second, the way the congressman many make any sense right now? and third political grandstanding and in particular can politicians resist the short-term political crack of social media? >> they need everything and they need it yesterday. if they can shoot it we should ship it. ukrainians are fighting for freedom and we should do more to help. chaplainse- and switch blades and surface to air period and the coastal defense missiles, grenade launchers, night vision goggles and planes. more andas faster. thank you to the president but also note really important weapons thats. are not in ukrainian hands like the s3 hundred and it takes time to go acrossth the border we should funding this as fast as possible not having the administration's lawyers debate how many angels can dance on the tip or debate which should be considered offensive versus defensive the

that's senator ben sasse at the hearing for judge jackson.all about cloud chasing and not about substance, calling out his own party's attacks on hers. there will be votes on the nomination in the next few weeks. it still looks on track with her. republican senators had pushed debunked claims and releasing towards conspiracy theories. that is a complete and total failure and violation of their own standard -- i don't mean from five or ten years ago, but what they laid out on day one of the hearings. take a look. >> judge jackson is receiving a calm, respectful process. >> we won't try to turn this into a spectacle. >> judge, with all due respect, and i tell you -- i'll be direct with you. i'm questioning your discretion and judgments. that's what i'm doing. many of the remember the hearing of brett kavanaugh, one of the lowest moments in the history of -- are you agreeing with this book that's taught kids that babies are racist. >> no, senator, i said -- >> that's exactly what you said, put their ass in jail. >> that was just a day or two apa

senator ben sasse of nebraska had a substantive exchange with the nominee. it is unfortunate that those substantive exchanges do not get as much airtime as the fireworks. host: as you mentioned, cory booker's statement getting a lot of attention. there was one moment in which judge jackson showed a little bit of emotion. this is about a minute of senator cory booker talking on wednesday to judge jackson. [video clip] sen. booker: your family and you speak to service, service, service. i am telling you right now, i am not letting anybody in the senate steal my joy. i told you this at the beginning. i am embarrassed. it happened earlier today. i just look at you and i start getting full of emotion. i'm jogging this morning and at the end of the block i live on because i put my music on loud when i'm jogging trying to block out the noise of the heart attack i am having. and this woman comes upon me and tackles me, an african-american woman. and the look on her eye, she just wanted to touch me because i am sitting so close to you, and tell me what it meant to he

that's the word from senator ben sasse of nebraska, a republican.one level you know why people are whipped into an emotional frenzy when they are talked about ukraine but russia's invasion of ukraine was shocking, wrong, the suffering of civilians is horrifying. it's entirely natural to wait for the ukrainians to expel invaders and obviously we are rooting for them to expel the invaders, russia. but. just because what russia has done in ukraine is wrong doesn't mean you have to lie about the ukrainian government. in fact, if you really cared about ukrainian people, and all people use on tv, "we care so much" -- you wouldn't want them to live under a dictator. you be highly upset with what zelenskyy just did. even when they know better, some are too dumb to know. but barack obama's ambassador to russia, unlike ben sasse, actually understands eastern europe. he has lived there. he knows exactly who zelenskyy is and exactly what he's doing. here's his assessment of the ukrainian government, not the people, the government of this afternoon. "if zelensky

sasse: thank you, madam president. first i'd like to associate myself with the comments from the senator from ohio, senator portman. he was -- heroism of the cranian people and what it could mean for us. madam president, it's a little after 4:00 a.m. in kiev, capital of ukraine and president zelensky is still fighting. ukrainians are still fighting and americans need to know their stories. ukrainians need us to tell their stories. this story starts, of course, with an unjust, unprovoked invasion, the people of ukraine posed no threat, they provoked no violence. they lived freely on russia's southwest border with their iconic wheat fields. of us have been there and we made friends there and we have friends back in the states. living freely on the southwest border of russia was enough to provoke the tyrant of russia to hatred. it's bizarre. they lived in freedom, so putin decided he was threatened. vladimir putin thought that he could crush ukraine. he thought he could break their spirit. he thought he could put his boot

got called out for jack assery by ben sass and all they've gotten in some case is the culture war. >>was raising his eyebrows at the behavior of people like holly and ted cruz who was asking the judge whether or not babies were racist. take a listen to chuck grassley who's the ranking republican on the senate judiciary committee. he had a town hall on friday after he watched republicans. take a listen to him talking to an iowa constituent. >> really mad and i think it was just -- the main thing they did this for is so they can get tv time. i'm not going to dispute what you said because i think you described it accurately. >> just in case. just beat her up really bad. the main they did this for was to get tv time. then grassley said i'm not going to dispute then he tried to distance himself from other republicans. grassley's a pretty partisan republican. >> he's one who respects the institution of the senate. he is one because he has been so many terms in the senate, one that respects not the grandeur of it, the grand standing, but frankly came from a time before television cameras and

senator ben sasse of nebraska, thank you very much.many troops he loses. >> well, we don't know that. in fact, there's -- >> the speech yesterday didn't definitely indicate it anytime soon. >> you had lavrov, his foreign minister, being positive about the possibility of coming to a negotiated settlement. if vladimir putin does settle with the ukrainians and move forward, he's going to have to blame a lot of people domestically. we're starting to see that. he's blaming the traders in the west, the oligarchs in the west, blaming his intel community, he's putting them under house arrest. it sounds a bit like he's trying to clean up things to find other people to blame if he does, in fact, settle with the ukrainians. >> we'll be back tomorrow morning. that does it for us for now. chris jansing picks up the coverage right now. >>> good morning. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york. it is thursday, march 17th. and we begin with the horrific toll of the war in ukraine reaching a new level this morning along with the ruthle

senator sasse made a different decision. the majority of senators taken his position, ukraine would not have the aid we are sending them now. people would be dying. it's the idea that i wasn't moving the american public with that tweet? senator sasse was at a press conference the day before. ted cruz said joe biden alone was responsible for the invasion of ukraine. how is that press conference that he attended legitimate political dialogue but my criminal of republicans for voting against ukraine aid, political hackery. it's a double standard, that i don't think we should accept. because we need a coalition of republicans and democrats on the floor of the senate who are just not willing to speak in favor of ukraine aid but are actually willing to vote in favor of ukraine. we will again later this year have to supply more weapons, more humanitarian aid. we will need republican support with their votes. >> yeah. sew you know what, because we are starting to mention republican senators and a couple in the mix. i'm going to go a

we had ben sasse and others criticiing them.ven said sadly these have become testing grounds for lies and conspiracy for reps. through it ought, judge jackson kept her cool. >> senator sasse is not qanon, and may reflect what some moderate republicans are seeing in judge jackson. we have the approval ratings. it is an interesting objective measurement here, compared to ref nominees, roberts a republican, but did very well. ginsburg above 50%. jackson across america, a lot of coverage, people learned a bit about her. she's in our polarized time, more supported than other recent trump nominees, and on par with roberts, who styled himself as an umpire famously in those hearings. is there a note of optimism? >> absolutely. she's the second-most pop a here nominee in recent history. it's the same energy when biden announced he would be nominating a black woman on february 2020. it galvanizes people. people want to witness this history. people want this change, and they want the highest court in the land to be more reflective of the c

you don't have the same kinds of conversation over the dinner table. >> sasse would go on to describeehavior with a word not suitable for television but something to do with donkeys. >>> nato experts say the russians may have lost as many as 15,000 troops killed in action. that is a staggering number. that's 28 days. america lost 7,057 troops in hostile fire in afghanistan and iraq combined in 20 years. the u.s. secretary of state yesterday talked about russian war crimes. there's a lot of evidence that that's true like the recent satellite pictures showing that the civilian theater that was targeted in mariupol. here it is before and there it is after. accusing the kremlin is likely a path out of the war for the kremlin and the prosecutor on the team looking into former president trump said there's quote that trump participated in numerous felonies. mark pomerantz quit his job at the manhattan district attorney's office after the d.a. called off the investigation. his resignation later -- letter obtained by the "new york times" says the team has been investigating mr. trump hashsors

. >> sasse's remarking shortly after colleague ted cruz sparreds with judge jackson.blicans illustration could easily applied to much of the back and forth this past week. >> one portion of the book -- says babies are taught to be racist or anti-racist. there is no tneutrality. do you agree of this books taught to kids that babies are racist. >> senator -- i do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they were racist or though they are not valued. in the law, there are different crimes that people commit -- >> judge, my question is do you regret it or not? >> senator, what -- i regret is that in a hearing about my qualifications to be a justice on the supreme court we've spent a lot of time focusing on this small subset of my sentencing, with one click. you can receive, you can distribute tens of thousands. you can be doing this for 15 minutes and all of a sudden you are looking at 30, 40, 50 years in prison -- >> good -- good. >> absolutely. >> i understand what you're trying to do i hope you go to jame 50 years on the internet trolling for images

what i understand senator sasse there to be saying is he just wants her to be sensitive to the law and not follow lawmakers. >> what's fascinating about that comment is that in the barrett confirmation, democrats lined up and said that they would vote against now justice barrett based entirely on the fact she had a conservative judicial philosophy. so they really drew this line and said in their view that is a disqualifying criteria. they would vote against her because of that. it created precedent for republicans to do the same thing. they can say look, we disagree with the judicial philosophy of this nominee. either because she won't fully explain it or because she has a philosophy that we consider to be unfounded. so the democrats are going to have to thread that needle. they created precedent that may now be used against them with their own nominee. >> harris: quickly, is it too simplistic to say that judicial philosophy -- i'm watching the screen right now -- the shot is solely on judge jackson. when it changes they'll go to the live event of everybody's statements. is it too simp

well, it sounds like they are not getting it as much as they would like i mean, i think if senator sasse is signaling there is a problem, i don't -- i do know from previous discussions that i was privy to in the government under the obama administration that there are -- the lawyers occasionally will, you know, worry about whether we are being marked as a combatant if we provide this intelligence. but article 51 of the u.n. charter actually allows you to provide this intelligence, especially in the case of a humanitarian disaster. i mean, this attack is unprovoked and not a war in any normal sense so i think we would be covered >> the nbc news is reporting that the u.s. government is concerned, the russian government may retaliate against american citizens over there a, is that certainly jit b, what would it mean for u.s. involvement? >> u.s. citizens are, obviously, in harm's way if they are in ukraine. especially of course where the russians are conducting these military operations and these assaults on the cities of kharkiv and kyiv so clearly they are in harm's way. now, whether they

it's a lie that's the word from senator ben sasse of nebraska, a republican. and again on onero level you ca understand why people are whipped into an emotional frenzy when they talk about ukraine. why wouldn't they be? russia's invasion of ukraine was shocking. itits was wrong. the suffering of civilians there is entirely real. we're watching on tv. it's horrifying. so it's entirely natural to root for the ukrainians to expel the invaders. and obviously we are rootinghe for them tom expel the invaders. russia. but just because what russia has done in ukraine is wrong w doesn't mean you have to liero about the ukrainian government. in fact,t, if you really cared about the ukrainian people and all the people you saw on tv, we care so much you wouldn't want them to live under a dictator. you'd be highly upset about what solinsky just did. but our leaders are not upset in the slightest. they're cheering it on even when they know better. some of them is too dumb to know, but some of them do know michael mcfaul, for example, he's barack obama's ambassador to russia

my favorite line was i think my colleague ben sasse was we to send them wanything that can shoot. >> are you safe to say a pick up the pace, safe to say you were heartened by ... on not putting words in your mouth but were you heartened by the briefing, you got the full classified briefing? >> it's a shame we've had to beat them into acting more rapidly but i think they are. picking up the pace and that gives the ukrainians a better chance to win. an example of something i think is utterly absurd. why would you consider it provocative to assist the polls in getting the makes into you ukraine. they're already shooting each other, the provocation is on full display. our approach to be give them everything we possibly can that gives them the chance to beat the russians. >> let me ask you a us follow-up, is there a, do you have a redline? i've been asking members of congress. if you can start using chemical weapons or altaking this success further than he already has is there any situation you could foresee in that realm where the us should get ... >> i'm not going to speculate about som

we had senator sassing earlier in the program all weapons are defensive weapons the country has beenapons that enabled them to shoot down planes are not going to go in invaded moscow for. >> they are getting weapons to shoot down planes they have had thousands of them already. >> and now a higher range. >> right. we have stepped up you need to read what is being provided now they're going to get some s3 hundreds. the problem is we need to do this quietly and not put it out there not make it a poke in the chest of a pollutant and tried to beat our own chest just do it quietly by the way the switchblade drone is literally is silent but deadly it has an electric while the enemy cannot hear it hovers overhead until the operator decides to have it dive and take out his target. that is going to be a very, very important element in the mix now as indeed the ukrainians are conducting modest counterattacks around kyiv is an example. >> you think we are doing enough right now are you exactly what we should be due in terms of supplying what ukraine needs? >> look there's always more that can be
