senator sinema i understand you will introduce our nominee. >> thank you mr. chairman. i appreciate the opportunity to introduce shalonda young, and a sack -- an exceptional nominee. she is a dedicated public servant with a deep appreciation . she served as a staff member and staff director on the house committee. she is already doing the job. she's been working for the past 10 months. a stronger partisan confirmation to the office of management and budget. her time as acting director, i've seen her marshal the resources of the omb to provide positive outcomes for the american people and she has fostered a close working relationship to congress but she exempt flaccid omb needs to be successful. she successful, transparent, pragmatic and focused a laser on getting things done. no effort better highlights these attributes than her personal and persistent engagement with a sitting group of 10 which resulted in the bipartisan infrastructure. i was caught -- honor to lead that group. many of the members that groups sit on this committee. the craft of the infrastructure law w

marks senator lahey and senator to senator sinema, both will be introduced -- introducing this young. welcome for the committee. you are now recognized. >> thank you mr. chairman. you have two wonderful nominees here before you. let me speak of one i've known for years, shalonda young. the director of office of management and budget. president biden could not have chosen any finer nominee. when she was nominated to be deputy director and confirm for that position by bipartisan vote of 63-37, she's been working as acting director. she helped shape the administration's budget priority and work closely with congress and responded to the covid-19 pandemic. under her leadership, critical has been given for hurricanes and wildfires to help implement the bipartisan infrastructure to cities across the nation. i rely on her candor and judgment advancing in the fiscal 2022 --. in between on october 31 of 2021 she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. juggling all that -- if juggling all that does not prove she's capable for this, she served in the committee for nearly 15 years as staff director.

hamburglar, kyrsten sinema.senator sinema took to the senate floor to announce that, while she values voting, the filibuster is her first love: >> while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. what is the legislative filibuster other than a tool that requires new federal policy to be broadly supported by senators representing a broader cross section of americans? >> stephen: no. no. not representing a "broader cross section" of americans. the 50 senators who are currently filibustering the voting rights bill represent 41 million fewer americans than the senators who support it. stop acting like the filibuster is anything other-- ( cheers and applause ) stop acting like the filibuster is anything other than an anti- democratic tool. which is also a pretty good description of kyrsten sinema. ( cheers and applause ) and for the record, this is what martin luther king said about voting rights and the filibuster: >> i

nobody cares what needs to pelosi says or what manchin says her sinema says. day what your regular americans, i am from the heartland and what they care about are there bills, are there bills going up? are the store shelves full of food. my mom tells me i did not find this at the store. that's what people care about, if they cannot solve the basic issues then they have a major problem. leo: a new bombshell from special counsel john durham the court reveals hillary clinton campaign to spy on donald trump and work with big tech to do it. what is the media reaction, you will be surprised, that is next. once upon a time, at the magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. - [narrator] every three minutes, so a child is born withg... a cleft condition. without surgery, some will die. those who do survive face extreme challenges. operation smile works to heal children born with cleft conditions.

he has been holding out along with senator sinema, of course.n the left for him and resentment in the caucus he's been standing in the way of what they want to do. i think abby is completely right on the supreme court, it is a matter of time. the lujan situation reminds them of that. and he is a relatively young man by the standards of the senate where nearly half of the senate is 65 or older. and they have the majority now, by a very, very thin margin, and there are a lot of democrats who feel like they need to go forward as quickly as they can on the things they do have 50 votes for before that evaporates. >> i certainly hope by the end of the month we see senator lujan back in washington. >>> democrats don't pick a candidate for florida governor until august. ron desantis more than happy to run against dr. fauci. prilosec otc prevents excess acid production that c can cause heartburn. so don't fight heartburn, block it with prilosec otc. is now a good time for a flare-up? enough, crohn's! for adults with moderate to severe crohn's ulcerative

and we have to put pressure on sinema and manchin from the outside. why during the vyings movement, the voting rights act and the civil rights act were able to pass is because there was a movement on the outside from the american people, against jim crow and against ongoing discrimination, against war, against everything that doesn't meet the ideals of our democracy. so manchin and sinema have to understand that history is going to tell this story. and history going to inform people that they did not step up in this moment, and that they allowed our government potentially to be taken over by dangerous, fascist republicans and the corporate lobby. >> and congressman, speaking about stepping up, you know, on the issue of immigration reform, for example, there has been very little stepping up to something that quite frankly, on comprehensive immigration reform, has bipartisan appeal and support outside of washington, d.c. but it seems as though there is very little being done in washington, d.c., to get any legislative reform, immigration reform, that co

these riches like, you know sinema that still knew in 1915. and yet he was the president of the united states, woodrow wilson showing that very racist movie, the birth of a nation in the white house. it did because woodrow wilson had a friend who wrote the novel that the movie was based on but one of the fascinating things for me in that chapter, was to find the made the -- of the director. walkedand she was brave enough o stand up to him after she had watched scenes with that movie. she walked up to him one day in his study and she said you have heard me, mr. griffith. by what you have done to my people. period. you have hurt me mr. griffith, by what you have done to my people. i just thought wow imagine with courage it took for this black made to tell this famous white movie director who paid her weekly and how she told him he had hurt her through this magical theme cinema. in movies you sit in the theater and yet the real world is just 70 feet away out the front door. and i thought if i could find the offscreen story detail along with me on

host: josh on joe manchin and kyrsten sinema who are not on the ballot in 2022. guest: i think the caller may have answers on question. the reason biden is having problems is just because of publican opposition but because he has failed to secure the support in senator sinema and senator manchin on his most important initiatives. when your party is divided between the democratic party you can be losing the argument and losing political capital. this stems from the presidents overly ambitious agenda that he literally wanted to pass trillions of dollars in spending that's not politically tenable in states like arizona and certainly not west virginia. i think from the beginning president biden misread his mandate, his mandate was one for normalcy, campaign on bipartisanship, he had a 50-50 senate, very narrow majority in the house and he try to get one of the most ambitious democrat agendas we've seen in the first year and a lot of it failed. it's a lesson you can outrun your mandate, you can out run the representation you have. host: to john in oregon. caller: good

george. >> thank you, senator sinema. i think that creating an independent agency would be a mistake. every department and agency-- well, sorry, every department, eight independent agencies and one institution have responsibilities for biodefense. i think across the board, including the department of homeland security, those, all of those responsibilities should be addressed by congress that there should be additional legislation if needed and then all of those entights-- entities need to be coordinated. i don't think they need to be pulled out. we need an entity across the environment. we recommended that the vice-president of the united states be put this charge of biodefense with a deputy national security advisor supporting that effort. i still believe that that's the way to go. the commission believes that's the way to go because you have so many departments and agencies involved. i think if you create another agency, you'd have give them some massive, massive authorities to be able to tell anybody else what to do. e

she's expected to praise biden's similar scope but bash moderate dems joe manchin and kyrsten sinematter legislation. is this a smart move for the progressive democrats ahead of the midterm? our panelists return, not by any of them have an opinion but they do. charlie hurt, or think and john phillips. laura, i've been a democrat all my life must i was on the left for a reason because i think many need to be dealt with in this country, i think everyone does watching the program and fist network and get when you have someone like rashida tlaib who is a lightning rod and the polls i say everything americans don't like up from the woke agenda, isn't this a mistake and shouldn't the democrats try to have that not happen? what is your take on her and best? >> i don't think -- i think rashida tlaib will talk about childcare, lifting children out of poverty and blowing healthcare costs for americans and making the wealthy and large corporations who have made record profits during the pandemic pay their fair share and it's not new. the response has been going on for five years and they do it

and in large part it is because senator joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. >> first of all, symone is absolutelypolls at this point don't matter that much. but having said that, the president has to do one thing. democrats have to do one thing for the rest of the year, and that's tell the truth. the president saw the greatest increase in jobs in his first year of any president ever in u.s. history. he saw the greatest increase in gpd coming out of a crisis of any president ever. the president of the united states did more to restore u.s. standing in the world in the course of his first year in office of any president. i saw a poll that was conducted after the conflict in ukraine began, and the president was in positive approval numbers. so, you know, these stories need to get out. the president has appointed more judges that look like america, more judges of color, more women judges than any president in history. and gotten them approved. i can go down a long list of accomplishments that this administration has made that get drown out because the focus is often on what didn't he get? what did jo

that when i say answer for that -- senator sinema doesn't go and talk to her district. she doesn't talk to the state. she doesn't give them reasons why she's voting the way she is. she's only letting us guess. so in the meantime i think that's the first thing we should all be asking is, why are you doing this? secondly, at the end of the day, the voters will tell me what to do, and i'll make that decision in 2023. >> all right, thank you for being with us, representative gallego. >>> now, there's mounting scrutiny in minneapolis, in the minneapolis police department, to be specific, after city officials released body cam footage showing the deadly shooting of 22-year-old amir locke during a no-knock raid on wednesday. locke, who police say was not named as a suspect in the warrant, was apparently sleeping on a couch as police charged in. a warning, this next video is disturbing. the interim police chief of minneapolis said during a wednesday news conference that officers did announce themselves and said, locke pointed a loaded gun in their direction of the officers, pro

senator sinema said she could support that package. i imagine joe manchin would support it. you could get it out of the house, and i bet you could get 50 votes in the senate. host: you talk about the success of the infrastructure law, the current status of bill back better. as far as those issues are concerned, are you concerned going toward november, the midterm elections, what democrats will be able to offer that you would be able to support, as far as why would that support be given? guest: i think as we go back to our districts and you get into campaign season -- we spend too much time saying what we did not get done. what we got done back in march with the american rescue plan, which really didn't rape up vaccinations but also provided necessary funding for law enforcement to rehire firefighters, to get small businesses back up and running, and to get our kids back in school -- what we did was a bipartisan infrastructure plan, rebuilding america, investing in ourselves. what we are debating on the house for today which will go to conference with the senate -- we will in

president biden — but by some of his own democrats, including joe manchin in virginia and kyrsten sinemacans will go on hurting. that's fine for the gop, because we have got midterm elections coming up in november and, as latika was saying is the case for australia, cost—of—living rises and what feels like a real downside for american purses is deadly for any ruling party, and so the republicans would not be averse to seeing more of this pain go on, in terms of electoral advantage. and, latika, here in the uk, this cost—of—living crisis has often been crystallised with the image of people having to choose between food orfuel, and ijust wonder, is the squeeze as intense as that in australia? it varies. australia does a very good social safety net, so it is never in my mind as acute as some of the shortages that you do see in the uk, but certainly housing i think is the big killer. you have a generation that cannot afford to buy a house, and with that comes little hope in theirfuture, their investment in capital and their feeling that they belong to the economy, and therefore wanting it to

net neutrality, my understanding is the ranking member, senator wicker and sinema have formed a group to address concerns about net neutrality, and i wish we on a less than party line vote could develop what would be policy in this arena. can you explain why the fcc, 23 you believe this, should preempt congressional efforts to get legislation passed -- a policy decision for congress. >> i guess i don't consider it preempting it but working alongside it, and in the paper that i referred to before, i said the fcc should reinstate its authority, but at the same time it should work with congress about the collusion. i feel passionately about this because i think congress has frankly allowed this back and forth ping pong game, and i don't want to blame anybody in particular, to go on too long, and we could debate what appropriate authority is, as well as give them specific authority to either adopt neutrality rules, and right naught fcc does not have oversight of broadband, and if the fcc were to act, that could kick start the congressional progress. i would love to work with folks that wa

my understanding is that the ranking member, senator wicker and senator sinema formed a working group to explore legislation lative solutions to concerns about net neutrality. i wish that we on a less than party line vote could develop what we would call net neutrality or what would be called policy in this arena. can you explain why the fcc, if you believe this, should preempt congressional efforts to get legislation passed? >> i guess i don't consider it -- >> a policy decision for congress. >> i guess i don't consider it preempting it. i consider working alongside it in that october 2020 paper that i referred to before, i did say the fcc should reinstate its authority. but i also said at the same time, it must work with congress for a permanent solution. i feel very passionately about this. i feel passionately about this, a, because i think that congress has frankly allowed this back and forth ping-pong game. i don't want to blame anybody in particular. to go on too long. it is about giving the fcc proper authority, we can debate what appropriate authority is, as well as give them

manchin and sinema did him a favor. chuck schumer is terrified of a challenge by alexandria ocasio-cortez who is ready to ram through any spending proposal no matter how large or irresponsible. manchin is standing in the way. schumer is angry with his colleague from west virginia, but manchin is stopping his own party from completely destroying the economy which is on the verge of collapse as it is. it's about time. because the american people have seen enough. look for yourself. >> you approved of president biden's job performance. look how bad these numbers. only 4 in 10 americans approve of his job performance. that's a tough number in the mid-term election year. why is this happening? we asked people what has president biden done that you approve of? 6 in 10 of americans including democrats said nothing. >> sean: even fake news cnn said 60% of americans think joe biden has done nothing right. with the mid-terms approaching, joe's fellow democrats are trying to pull a fast one on you and turn 180 on every issue. covi

sinema and manchin wouldn't go along with it. there are those that were primary challengers.d he say about that in. >> he would not say if he would support manchin or sin may. they would support their own members if they are facing intraparty challenges. he said i am focused on 2022. getting things done and winning the election on 2022. i am not at all focused on 2024 right now and neither should anyone else be. and that is just how you lose in 2022. and recall that schumer pushed to have those votes earlier this year, last month, on the voting rights effort, and to change the cincinnati filibuster rule. he said he doesn't regret that strategy. they said they need to vote and show where they were. >> a lot of democratic senators regret that strategy. thank you. >>> a final badge of almost. new york police officers fill the streets to say goodbye to one of their own. stay with us. - hiring is step one when it comes to our growth. we can't open a new shop or a new location without the right people in place. i couldn't keep up until i found ziprecruiter. ziprecruiter helps us ge

and how happy are manchin and sinema that they didn't buckle on that voting rights bill now? pelosi's media bullies turned up the pressure campaign on them, but the senators resisted. and then they were trashed by the left. they didn't care, but they obviously made the right call. as for the other senators bill themselves as reasonable moderates come up who have never spoken out, they're desperately trying to play catch up now. >> the national democratic brand and i think in rural america generally -- it's because quite frankly we don't show up, we are not willing to go places we are not wanted and answer questions. i honestly don't think the democratic party could be a majority party unless we start getting to america a lot more. >> laura: you think, john? it's a little late. where were you last spring, last summer and last fall? does he think montanans are stupid? they know if only when they see one. they tuned out biden and they are going to tune out him as well. but the abandonment of biden isn't just happening on the homefront of course. our allies are also moving on fro

because she doesn't always toe the party line, kind of like kyrsten sinema, vilified by her own party. and later we will also hear from a comedian who tells jokes that democrats can't handle. it offends them, just like a total of trumped week. they feign outrage at. meanwhile, buckle up. if you are deeply person you are on the left, that will be for you. breaking tonight as i predicted last night, new information on the real reason that jeff zucker is now out as president of fake news cnn. according to multiple reports, it wasn't the undisclosed consensual relationship with a coworker that everybody in the news industry knew about four years and years and years. instead it was a relationship with governor andrew cuomo.

and because primarily because of manchin and sinema, biden can't point to a lot of progress on a lot of the key elements there either. so he's getting squeezed on both sides at this moment and needs something to give between now and november or democrats are going to have a long night. >> you probably weren't born then, but i understand what ron is saying because i was driving my parents 1976 and the prices were so expensive. >> did you have tvs? >> i ended up telling them i didn't want the car, so i know exactly what he's talking about. it's not just the president's handling of the economy, bakari. his overall approval numbers dropped in the last month, and 56% of americans say there's nothing biden has done that they approve of. what does that mean for the mid-terms? >> well, it -- lucky -- well, we're lucky the mid-terms aren't today is what it means. there's no way to look at those numbers and not say that it's bleak. but, again, that goes to the messaging. that goes to getting joe biden and kamala harris outside of the beltway. with the accomplishments they've had imagine donald

by the way, i saw kyrsten sinema get cents urd. i think this is foolish.g people, who what i would call main stream people, kinzinger or liz cheney because they're responding in anger. so many people who are involved in politics in washington simply play to a primary base. a general election for most is a formality. the districts are so lopsided. >> the only reason i want to step in here. we just got an update from the story we heard from manu raju. the congressman from kentucky has apologized to joyce beatty after he told her to kiss his ass, his language. i wouldn't say this is great news but least he realized he crossed a line. at least he realized that telling a fellow member of congress to kiss his ass is not acceptable. but a standard low. >> standard is pretty low. we should point out, in congress, there has been violence toward members of congress in the past in history. you had a member of congress cane another member. congress -- >> during the civil war. >> during the civil war. but it is another sign of not only can they not get together to make

it looks like manchin and sinema, although they make trouble on other issues, have not done so on judiciali think there's value for supreme court nominee because the court's legitimacy depends on there being public confidence in their independent and if they're perceived as the favorite candidate of one political party or the other, their decisions are met with less public confidence. so, having bipartisanship doesn't always matter but does very much on this matter. >> thank you so varmuch, barbara mcquaid. and capital security ahead of president biden's first state of the union. concerns about a potential trucker protest in d.c., like the one that nearly shut down canada's capitol. down canada's capitol and unforeseeable. for investors who can navigate this landscape, leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. men put their skin through a lot. day-in, day-out that's why dove men body wash has skin-strengthening nutrients and moisturizers that help rebuild your skin. dove men+care. smoother, healthier skin with every shower

schumer at the beginning of the year focused on the issue of voting rights, forced joe manchin and sinemae filibuster rule and blocked the proposal from going forward. now the focuses shifts to confirming a supreme court nominee. if people can say washington can talk and chew gum at the same time. they are wrong. the focus right now will be on getting the supreme court nominee confirmed. manchin told us earlier today he wants to focus on other issues like dealing with inflation and avoiding a government shutdown by the middle of february. getting an agreement from house democrats, senate democrats, joe manchin making it likely that it is, in fact, dead. >> dead means dead. thank you very much. thanks to all of you. anderson starts now. >>> good evening and we begin with new reports showing the former president was deeply involved in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election than previously overknown. this is a first. reporting that for the first time identifies him as the driving force behind his effort to overturn the election that he lost

there's been questions about where joe manchin, kirsten sinema have been on this issue.are open, if not supportive of dands on the short list. manchin said he will evaluate this nominee. the question will be on the three republican senator who is did vote yes to get her on the d.c. court of appeals. those three senators lindsey graham has criticized, as you mentioned, the selection of ketanji brown jackson and not michelle childs, the district court judge. also susan collins offered some praise for the pick today. lisa murkowski will be an interesting one to watch . she's up for re-election. she's facing a trump backed challenger. she did oppose brett kavanaugh. she's a moderate. she's aligned herself with democrats on some issues but in statement she issued today, she said her vote before for the lower court does not translate for a vote yes for the highest court in land. she said it's a very high bar to clear and blaplans to look at t nomination closely. some republicans may vote yes but not very many. >> okay. thank you very much. great to get all of your impressions.

might matter most to getting his legislation through on those of the moderate senators of kyrsten sinema and joe manchin so we will see if that pulls with the american people with touting victory in all of that but if it ever gets regenerated on capitol hill, going to be democrats inside his own party and he's going to have to really convince. let's get to this, president biden may have gone against the left defund the police narrative but is not blaming the criminals are progressive policies that have allowed them to run amok in cities like new york as he now calls for another cracked out. i'm harris faulkner joined by my cohost emily compagno and kayleigh mcenany. former california gubernatorial candidate caitlyn jenner, her first time here on out numbered and in the center, virtual seat today for iraq war veteran and founder of the douglas society, rob smith. i've promised. but first, you will notice we are all wearing red today in honor of the american heart association go red campaign, the tie is looking snappy designed to raise awareness about women's heart health. now let's get ba

democratic senators have expected to be united on this, even joe manchin, kyrsten sinema, and did getcking someone he was advocating for, michelle chields, a district court judge but nevertheless likely to get confirmed as this process plays out in earnest next week. >> john harwood, as we just heard from manu, some pushback there from lindsey graham, no surprise because he had been putting for michelle childs, a supreme court justice from his state of south carolina. we also heard jim clyburn supporting her as well. that having been said, she's confirmed on a bipartisan basis three times in the past. despite the partisanship we see in washington today, is there really any concern that there may be some pushback from republicans here? i believe we lost, there we go. we couldn't hear you. >> i was going to say, there will be pushback from republicans on the right, especially those, many republicans in the senate who were looking at potential 2024 presidential campaign. but the best indication of whether somebody can get bipartisan support is whether they've had it in the recent past. j

opposition and lack of support from two key democratic senator, joe manchin on the left and kyrsten sinema on the right, the democrats two big voting rights bills died last month so now a group of lawmakers is turning to the justice department. democratic representatives iyanna presley and jones, and minority whip jim clyburn written a letter signed by 40 other members of the congressional black caucus to attorney general merrick garland. >> the letter does not mince words. quote, congress looks to you, the attorney general, of the united states, to enforce the constitution and our voting rights laws with unmitigated vigor and tenacity. we write to urge you to leverage the full might of the department of justice to defend the sacred right to vote for all americans. any state that enacts a law infringing on the right to vote should be met with a lawsuit in defense of the american people. if states face no consequences for their actions, they will be emboldened to pursue even more draconian voter suppression tactics reminiscent of the jim crow era discrimination. our message is simple. be cr

you had joe manchin and kyrsten sinema do a fix. are you concerned that this election will be impeded by the prevention of people being able to actually cast a ballot? >> oh, i'm very nervous about what's happening. as we look at redistricting, as we look at some of the opinions coming down from our highest court. i think we have to do a better job of educating and making our citizens and constituents aware so they do come out to vote because there's so much voter suppression. when we allow people to vote, blacks individuals come out and individuals win. we elected president barack obama because people stood in line for 5 and 7 hours to cast that vote. the same thing happened for president joe biden. at the leadership, the rnc, they're wanting to keep the voter suppression out there so we don't vote. they have a very big divide with that right now. they're censuring liz cheney because she did what was right. joining that select committee and standing up for our democracy and they want to censure her? unthinkable. >> i know that you

so much of the agenda their voters were promised has been blocked by joe manchin and kyrsten sinema inhe senate. the enthusiasm gap is the core of the challenge facing democrats as it has been the core of the challenge facing the president's party in midterm elections for well over a century. . >> let's talk about how trump influences these midterm races. in this survey voters were asked, would you prefer a candidate for congress who supports or opposes biden/trump. biden had a negative net key indicator. >> that is the history we were just talking about. we know in modern elections, brianna, that the vast majority vote the house the same way they view the president. somewhere around 85% to 90% the last 30 years who approve of the candidates vote for the party in the house. if that historic pattern holds up, democrats are going to be in very tough shape given biden's disapproval rating is right now so much higher than his approval. can they change that pattern? their best chance is exactly the numbers you see in that poll. it is turning out some of the voters who have shown up in 2016,

and thanks in part to folks like centrist manchin and centrist sinema, who helped attend portions ofis agenda alongside republicans, and ignores reality and impact voter suppression on silencing voters across the country, and it ignores the reality that historically, incumbent parties ruth loose in midterms. all of those things need to be taken in consideration, so i truly do reject the premise of placing anything like this at the feet alone of the squad. like, i am really confused about why these groups are trying to outdo republicans, essentially, by attacking their own, at a moment where they need to recognize that they're centrist candidate, for example, terry mcauliffe, lost in virginia. so i don't think that this is the way the democrats need to move into this midterms cycle at all. >> meantime, the republicans, stewart, after days of wall-to-wall conspiracy theories that a filing by special counsel john durham, with somehow proof of hillary clinton's fine on trump. durham poured cold water on the narrative. we call that misinterpreted. i wonder if this is a story outside of ri

comes out that somehow peels off one of the more conservative democrats like joe manchin or krysten sinema. >>now to the latest on the russian invasion in ukraine. u.s. intelligence officials are saying russian troops are moving closer to the ukrainian capital of kyiv, but they add that russian military is losing momentum because the ukrainians are putting up a fight that pentagon officials also saying the russians have not made as much progress as they thought that they would still, though they're in striking distance of the center of the capital. the air raid sirens are going off again in the city streets of kyiv ukrainian soldiers have cleared away damage, military vehicles. ukrainians defense minister is telling citizens to make molotov cocktails to use against the russians. u.s. officials are saying the city could fall by the weekend. overnight there were more explosions in the apartment complex here that we're looking at was hit by a russian missile. it then caught on fire 3 people. there were hurt and people who live in key var sleeping underground in subway stations. they are the o

am hoping to get you from our live on our balcony, or commuting view out on the streets with our sinema quality lights. the police can buy a heavily armed, very polite, but heavily armed, and insisted that we turn off all of our lights, because the russians are still bombing all across this country. but i can tell you that the situation in kyiv, that is the prize. that is with the russians are after. and they made that clear from the moment they started bombing this country. it looks like the situation is going to be decisive tonight. that is what we heard from president volodymyr zelenskyy. tonight is the night that he called on all ukrainians to defend themselves. he handed out guns to everybody, and even we heard over on this side of the country that if you are a young man between the ages of 18, or 60, not that young, any young fighting age man could be forcibly conscripted, into service to defend against the russians. so even if kyiv does fall, and it looks as though this is that decisive night, that could happen within the next several hours, when i spoke with ukrainian defense of
