joining me now is senator tim kaine of virginia.er of the armed services and foreign relations committee. senator, thank you for coming to the sunday show. before we get into the nitty-gritty, just generally your view of the speaker mike johnson, what he represents? >> jonathan, he is the most powerful republican in america. he is the face of today's gop, he's second in line to the president. and you outlined the positions he had from election denial to climate science denial, to anti lgbtq, anti-women's reproductive rights, this is who the republican party is now. and remember, he received the vote of every member of the republican caucus to be speaker. so if that is obviously a very different vision then virginians have, a very different vision and then senate democrats or republicans have. and so it sets up some challenging times ahead, but all of that said, it's better to have a speaker than to not have a speaker, because we have important work to do. >> speaking of virginia, again, before we get to the nitty-gritty of budget st

joining me now is senator tim kaine of virginia.d the armed services committee. senator, thank you so much for being with me this evening. i wanted just to start there because i can't even imagine how frustrating this must be for you, given how long you have worked on these issues. senator tuberville seemed to double down today on this blockade, of military promotions at this moment, which is perplexing. but what does that mean? explain to us, for our ability to respond to a crisis like this. >> jen, you are right. we've got a double blockade going. senator tuberville is blockading now more than 600 military nominations, including the chief of naval operations. we dispatched the uss ford carrier from virginia today to the mediterranean, to try to support israel and help them in their self-defense. but senator tuberville is blocking the nomination of the head of our navy. and hundreds of others. and then, we have other republicans, and there's paul, cruz, and vance blocking key ambassador nominations not only israel, but egypt, and l

i also spoke to senator tim kaine who sits on the foreign relations committee. he wants biden to layout the stakes but also not to necessarily just ask for congress for a big request. he wants biden to say what exactly the white house once in terms of the longer-term. into next year, just the end of this year. >> what is the situation when it comes to funding in ukraine? how can they last without additional funding? >> the simple answer is not very long. we just got back from the front in southern ukraine. the situation is incredibly difficult. we saw special forces units like this. we saw ammunition shortages up and down the front. a lot of rationing by ukrainian soldiers. that was even before the political chaos in washington prevents the next package from passing. some officials believe the ukrainians are firing too much. ukraine cannot continue to fight the way it has been fighting unless u.s. levels of support remain. officials tell me they hav about $5.6 billion of ammunition and weapons that they can draw down from existing stocks. but here is the real nu

and then you go about breaking the spirit of joe manchin and jon tester and tim kaine and all of thewing democrats, and you say either you're with us, or you're for the invasion is. but until we start doing that, maria, we're not a serious country, and we are not even remote ifly, remotely at the beginning of how bad this nightmare's going to get. maria: well, they tried to do that. they were pushing a continuing resolution, the house republicans were pushing a resolution that included language that said is we will not fund anything, not a dime more until we actually have a change in oil at the border. and -- policy at the border. and it failed. >> first of all, let me be clear, i supported the effort to do the 45-day stopgap with the border security measures included, and then during that 45-day period to then pass the individual appropriations bills including a doj bill that fully disables and defunds weaponized government. that didn't happen. here's where we are now. i was talking to my friends all throughout the house conference, people on the right, left, middle. you need to get

and i also spoke to senator tim kaine, a democrat of virginia, who sits on the senate foreign relationsttee. and he said that he wants biden to lay out the stakes, but also not to necessarily just ask for congress -- a vague request from congress, that he wants biden to say what exactly the white house wants in terms of the longer term, so into 2024, not the next 45 days, not to the end of the year, but well beyond that. amna: so, nick, what is the situation when it comes to funding in ukraine? how long can they last without additional funding? nick: the overall, simple answer to that, amna, is not very long. we just got back from the front in southern ukraine, and the situation is incredibly difficult. we saw special forces units like this, and we saw ammunition shortages up and down the front, a lot of rationing by ukrainian soldiers. and that was even before the political chaos in washington right now prevents the next package from passing. now, some u.s. officials believe ukrainians are actually firing too much. but the bottom line, long term, ukraine cannot continue to fight the wa

but you heard senator tim kaine say earlier that, when the white house and that 24 billion dollar requestraine to congress in august, that was a stand-alone request. it was never meant to be lobbed into a continuing resolution. perhaps it's not 24 billion dollars that the administration is able to secure on ukraine. but they do believe that, behind closed doors, they have gotten assurances from both parties and both chambers that there will be support to move funding for ukraine. and i have launched a ton of flags from the pentagon in recent days, a letter from the undersecretary to congressional leaders, warning that funding has nearly been completely exhausted. and warning that disruptions in and fighting on the battlefield are very real and could happen in the coming days -- >> yeah, and errol louis, i know you are in new york. you just had the un general assembly rolled through town just a few short while ago, and there was all of this talk of standing by the ukrainians, not just by the united states, but for countries around the world. and for zelenskyy to go to new york, make these
