department of state, and some have said this is her trying to say, you know, i knew he was a bad guy, i didn t trust him, but at the same time i was dealing with mthe other, but this is he trying to distance herself maybe not from the obama administration, although i heard one say that, but from the criticism that the obama administration has been naive that she was naive in that reset e. this is her sort of saying no, i know full well the threat that putin really has and does make. and to be precise, she wasn t comparing putin and hitler per se. she was comparing the pretext for invasion, what hitler did in europe and what putin did, saying ethnic germans, ethnic russians who were said to need protection. absolutely. what you ve seen putin in crimea saying we need to protect these russians and she was sort of drawing the comparison between the rationale that hitler used
at the moment, you don t know when you re pushing too hard and when you re escalating rather than toning down the rhetoric and trying to get a diplomatic accord. but putin has really put us to the test. let s see what this administration is willing to do. but i hope that we don t talk a big game and then just play small ball. congresswoman illeana roeana ros-lehtin ros-lehtinen, thanks so much. thank you, jake. coming up, she made headlines comparing vladimir putin to adolf hitler. what is hillary clinton saying today? she ll speaking live now and we ll have that next. as john kerry tries to convince allies in europe to go along with the plan for sanctions does the u.s. risk isolating itself? i ll ask the state department spokeswoman. honestly? i wanted a smartphone that shoots great video.
actions. it s not matching. and what they ll do in the next 24 hours. as you know, a u.n. envoy in crimea was accosted today by armed men. he s expected to take a flight out of the area late they are evening. that doesn t sound like deescalation to me. my understanding is there have been plans, and the u.n. is the appropriate place for this, to return and continue to play a role. this conflict on the ground is not ending in the next 24 hours. we re all working together with a fierce urgency in the international community to take steps and the u.n. remains an important part of that process. jen psaki, thank you. thank you, dave. coming up, two different administrations with nearly identical responses to putin s military aggression. why the pass from conservatives in 2008 when it was george w. bush and the backlash now? and drama this the house. public shouting about irs abuses today with one democrat calling out the un-american, quote,
in sort of bringing some germans out and also in protecting them when he was looking to expand his borders beyond germany. brianna keilar, thank you so much. we ll continue to watch that speech that hillary clinton is giving at ucla and if she s asked more about these relevant topics we ll bring that to you live. coming up next, as the tense standoff continues in the ukraine, the u.s. is increasing its presence in surrounding countries. so what s the next move? plus, if you re having deja vu listening to president obama respond to putin, maybe it s because you have heard much of it before except last time some of those same lines were coming from president bush. i learned about hard work
hammered by republicans for his response to this continuing crisis in the ukraine. but history looms over this conflict. one could argue that the parallels between the obama administration s response now and the bush administration s stance back in 2008 during putin s invasion of the country of georgia actually shows some striking similarities. reporter: this is what the russian incursion into crimea in the ukraine looks like this week. we are now deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken by the russian federation inside of ukraine. reporter: this is what the russian incurrings into georgia looked like in 2008. i ve just received an update from my national security team on the situation in georgia. reporter: the situations were different in many ways, of course. putin was prime minister of russia then, not president, though he was widely regarded to have been calling the shots. but in both cases russia sent troops into another sovereign country of former soviet
