president to use the military to seize voting machines, he spots them in there and calls the other lawyers and they rush to the oval office and basically get into a pretty vigorous fight with the conspiracy theer theorists. he spent weeks pushing back. you can see in this tape the frustration level that had peek ed when everything culminated in this attack. what they are showing here, the committee, is even people who worked with trump understood that this was a bogus claim of a stolen election and that the president was being misled if not himself obviously doing the misleading to the country. phil, the washington post has a piece on an oval office meeting between then president trump and jeffrey clark, who is someone he wanted to put in
frustration. he said when some leaders asked me what weapons i need, i need a moment to calm myself. i told him the week before it s groundhog day. i feel like bill murray. there s been times where it seemed like there were expectations for us and other western nations. what do you make of the comment by him? i understand there s frustrations. i was in ukraine last year. the frustration level of ukrainians, even of our own was through the roof. back then, they were asking for stinger missiles, asking for antiship missiles, the type that just think that russian ship. they were asking for things to help defend against russian artillery, and time after time, they were told by the biden white house it was too provocative and escalatory, and let s pump the brakes.
the 50th with joe. we had a group and sat down over the summer and negotiate through every provision and we created a new name and new lead sponsor amy klobuchar and she has done a fabulous job and then a bill that will work, but we can t get to that bill unless we also fix the rule. and get rid of the minority veto. it has been long and torturous and i just, my frustration level is through the roof. my fellow senators frustration is through the roof and it s not at all clear, will we do a carve out? will we do a talking filibuster? will we do neither and that s the drama unfolding in this next week. excellent. senator, i have to live it there. my midwestern relatives would be glad you said roof and not roof. senator merkley, thanks coming on. nbc news caught up with secretary pete buttigieg at the port of l.a. as inflation soars
he has sacked general, put them under house arrest. he s purging services, accusing people of betrayal, exappropriateuating funds to go to the bright shiny new army, this open source resource, i think they re clear about 1,600 pieces of equipment the russians have lost already. either they have been destroyed, damaged, banded or captured. the ukrainians are stealing russia s tanks, armored personnel carrier, and defense systems and re-purposing them for their own military needs. this is not a good campaign that russia is fighting. the frustration level in moscow evident. michael weiss we appreciate it. thank you so much, and we will speak to you again soon. coming up on morning joe, live reporting from the gunshot wound in ukraine as well as nato headquarters in brussels where president biden is set to meet with european allies this week
and russians have claimed this morning they have taken over, saying the russians have consistently attacked the humanitarian corridors leaving those city, have consistently surrounded and shelled those two cities, and in mariupol, we know from sources inside, they are basically out of food, out of water, there s no heat, there s no electricity, it is a dire humanitarian situation, and i ll just finish with a little bit of good news from president zelenskyy this morning, jonathan, he says in recent days some of the humanitarian corridors have been working, and they ve gotten out about 100,000 people, from some of these besieged cities in the east, that is not even close to the number though that the humanitarian organizations and of course, this country wants to see. jonathan? molly, a dire situation in mariupol. and it seems that the frustration level from president zelenskyy has really grown and the ukrainians have been so brave, he has been such a model of resilience to this point
