know, face saving tactical move that they can do to deescalate. i think their only chance, frankly is a much bigger, bigger negotiation, not just missiles here, troop movements there, but i call it, andrea, helsinki 2.0. helsinki in 1975, we all sat there for three years, by the way, the negotiations took three years, and it was basically a settlement of world war ii, a settlement about the borders that had not been resolved and codified since world war ii with the soviet union, the united states, canada, and most of europe, and i think you need a big negotiation like that because if we try to square the circle like peter just said on nato and ukraine, there s a no win strategy there. there s a no win play for president biden. and what about arming the ukrainian insurgents, you know, expanding what would have been, you know, a likely grass roots guerrilla movement.
work. reporter: i ve had the chance to speak to a number of of organizers here in georgia, some of the people who played a key role, an instrumental role in flipping the state blue for joe biden back in 2020. they say if there aren t as they call them federal guardrails in place in their words to offset or curtail the law that has been put in place here in georgia by the republican-led state legislature, they re very concerned about what the midterms are going to look like in november. andrea. thanks so much, blayne, and garrett, i want to play what we heard from jim clyburn about the opponents of the voting rights bill and the changes to the filibuster.

more questions later today. he is going to have that cabinet meeting. is he in a mood to talk? we ll have to wait and see. he is undoubtedly going to get follow-up questions about how sincere the walk back was. no kidding. thank you. the president s comments didn t do much to calm the storm over at the capitol. while he tried to pull the helsinki 2.0, there was a lot the president has not said so far and did not say in the roosevelt room. he did not clear up the remark where he said both the u.s. and russia are to blame. he did not fully accept the findings of american intel je intelligen intelligence, blaming other countries, in addition to russia. he didn t condemn russia for its attack on the election, and did not share a plan on how the u.s. would hold russia accountable. msnbc s garrett haake is on capitol hill. sure, republicans got a figure leaf s worth of cover from the president s quote, unquote, clarification, but what does it mean for the appetite of republican leaders to
