and we're the ones to do it. >> look, i think we have to face a reality here. this isn't 2016. this isn't a country which is basically comfortable but angry this is a country this which is battered, frightened, for the first time americans have a really deep sense that our best days are behind us, well, we are very intimidated by the scale of the chinese challenge. as i said, we have mental health problems on a scale we have never seen, largely compounded by the first public health decisions i think in modern history. all of which deserves to be explored. people want political leadership which is going to be serious, have an honest conversation and find a way to bring us together to actually fix these things. not just have more of this totally partisan bickering. i think kevin mccarthy with his whole notion of a commitment to america, and the kind of people he has been recruiting, i think he understands, this is a
when you look at the sweep yesterday, it was not an insignificant start. you started with nord stream 2, you have the u.k. sanctioned banks and oligarchs. you faced some before. you have the russian duma who votesed to recognize there. individuals feel that. then you have the u.s. piece with the president promising further ones today. they clearly have some sort of menu that they're ticking through with each moment. when that reaches a point where the costs are too high for putin, we don't know. maybe never. when you listen to that speech the other day, putin was making the case to say, this isn't a country. >> yeah. right. exactly. exactly. ominous signs all around. jim sciutto, great to have you here. here with us in lviv. now i am michael holmes in lviv. we're going to have much more ahead on the russia/ukraine crisis coming up on "early start" in 20 minutes. isa soares back k in a moment.
they are vulnerable. their territorial sovereignty has been violated for years now by the russians. they need this show of alliance. they need this show of united force. so there isn't a country that doesn't need something for us, and ukraine needs more than most country does from us. >> i want to read a quote from a former senior administration official in "washington post," and whenever i see former senior administration official these days i think john bolton, but the truth of it is, john bolton just represents a pyramid of people, who fit the description of former senior administration people. but this is a particularly negative quote. it's the kind of smackback at the president that you could expect at some point from john bolton, if he did witness this and if it was true. a former senior administration official who repeatedly discussed the issue with trump said that the president thought what we were doing in ukraine was pointless and just aggravating the russians. the president's position basically is we should recognize
president trump for some reason pushed back on that. third, they needed the show of solidarity. the ukrainians need us more than most countries need us because they are vulnerable. they have been violated by the russians. they need this show of alliance and a united force. so there isn't a country that doesn't need something from us, and ukraine needs more than most countries do from us. >> i want to read a quote from a former senior administration official in "the washington post." whenever i see former senior administration official these days, i think john bolton, but the truth of it s john bolton just represents a pyramid of people who fit the description of former senior administration official. but this is a particularly negative quote. it's the kind of smack back at the president that you could expect at some point from john bolton if he did witness this and if it was true. that says former senior administration official who related to discussed the issue with trump said the president thought what we were doing in

but he doesn't seem to feel that way about these four democratic women of color. wes? >> sure. i think when you understand the president's comments and the context of american history and the way that these types of -- not just chant, but this precise argument that if people of color aren't grateful for being here and if they're not glad that you got to come to america, that we're letting you in now and you have these rights then you should go somewhere else. it speaks to this historical grapple over who gets to be an american, who has full citizenship and you have to remember we're a nation where it's been 50 or 60 votes would even get to vote in our election or people like you get to vote in our elections. this isn't a country that has fully enfranchised all its people and that for generations there has been an ideology that says people who are different, and people who aren't white should just be grateful to be here and they shouldn't complain. they shouldn't complain about the police shooting them. they shouldn't complain about the lynchings and the lack of
where do you fall on the debate? >> actually socialism. >> i don't know that it really seems to be a debate. here we are in the greatest country on earth with the greatest experiment on whether capitalism or freedom works. it seems like it's working pretty well. >> capitalism of course. >> i think capitalism is the love of money and you either love money or you love god. so if you love god, you can't love capitalism. >> i think a mix of both systems is what we need. >> who pays for these programs? do we tax people more, the rich more? >> yeah. >> i've never gotten a job from a poor man. >> this isn't a country based on handouts. >> people are going to be upset that you said that. they are going to say you are not compassionate. you want people to work. >> oops.

a extensive multi-facetted multi-pronged russian presentation to make contact with the trump campaign. you saw that graphic in the last segment with the 14 different trump officials that were approached by russians, and that's a lot of russians. i think that really bears emphasis. there are not that many russians you encounter normally in u.s. politics. this isn't a country that is actively involved day-to-day in the swirl of politics in washington. to have that many people with that many ties to the kremlin approaching that many different trump officials, and as laura and david were saying in the last segment, that much of welcomed help from the trump campaign, i mean, it really is
our polls show white women and trump's approval rating in general was up about 4 or 5 points since the last time we did the poll. >> and all of the kavanaugh hearings taking place in between those times. greg, thanks for being with us. cecil, tiffany cross, michael steel, thank you. michael, you are the one person on our very first ever show and here for our first anniversary. >> clearly a glutton for punishment. we're going to talk to one of the key democrats trying to help flip the house. katherine clark is co-chair of the red to blue program. the magnum opus, one of the signature segmentes over the years. senator john kennedy said what? >> you don't walk in and slap your opponent and call him an ignorant slut. i'm going to vote for it. i'll be on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. >> is this health care compromise dead? >> i wouldn't call it dead, but it's sucking wind. >> this is a great dane size wis down the leg of every taxpayer. >> but our folks every now and then, like a free range chicken. they just kind of move on off on their own. >> he's crazy as a loon, as well as being as sly as a fox. >> this isn't a country for creepy old men or creepy middle aged men. the way we've done things around here pretty much stuks.
