a personal level. it was true that my first days in the senate when i needed help very badly and it was through my last days in the senate as well. in 2008 fritz and i became close friends and i sought his counsel many times. i was asked to join the ticket with barack obama. i was, as i usually was, on amtrak going home. i commuted every day. they later told me over 220,000 miles on amtrak they should name a station after me. he called me after it was clear he was the de facto nominee. he said he would like me to join him on the ticket or at least consider it. could he do a background check on me. would have to do that background check, and i said, no, thanks. barack. i thought he was dragging that bloody cloth through the senate like presidential nominees do to get everybody excited and involved. there's only one other person i'm considering. ba barack, i don't want to be vice president. he said why? i said, basically just stand by equipment. i said what i want to do -- and by that time i chaired two major committees. i was fairly influence in the senate. i can help you a lot more as a senator, i'll campaign throughout the country for you. would you talk it over with your family just talk it over. i called jill on my cell phone. when i got home i went in and the first person i called was fritz. i said, fritz, what should i do? he sent me a long memorandum he prepared for president carter when they were deciding how their relationship would work. he told me the vice president holds no inherent power, none, zero. the vice president is merely a reflection of a relationship with the president of the united states. about seven years ago i joined fritz at a forum in his honor at george washington university. the greatest strength wasn't his expertise. it was the genuine personal relationship he built with president jimmy carter. it was based on real affection and trust. they sat down to lunch together every week. fritz said make sure you get a commitment from barack once a week you have lunch to discuss whatever is on any of your minds. he was the first vice president to have an office in the west wing just a few steps away from the oval office. that never happened before. they were over in the executive office building across the street. that was the true strength of the vice presidency, he said, a strength barack and i replicated in our time in office and what kamala and i are doing today. and she sends her regards to the whole family. she called me before i got on the plane. it was fritz who lit the way. at his core, fritz embraced everybody with the belief that everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity, everybody. dignity. not just the right to vote. dignity. he was loved by the american people, reflected the goodness of the american people especially the people in minnesota. every senator wears on his or her sleeve the state they serve. the love fritz had for the people of minnesota ran deeper than that. he loved you all and you loved him back. it was obvious because fritz reflected the very best qualities of this state. a warmth and optimism that you reflect. at every turn fritz reflected the light of this nation. who we are and what we can be. he called me when i had said at inauguration we're the most unique nation in all of history. we're the only nation founded on an idea. every other nation in the world is based on gee owiographygeogr ethnicity, race. we're founded on an idea. we hold these truths to be self-evident. all men and women are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights included the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. and it goes on. fritz believed that in his gut. i watched him every day for over 35 years in the senate. and when he was vice president. he united people. sharing the same light, the same hopes, even when we disagreed he thought that was important. i'll never forget on a personal level what it meant to have a friend like fritz. listen, four years after losing eleanor to brain cancer and just a year after losing joan, fritz was there to help me again when jill and i lost our son beau to brain cancer after a year in iraq. i'll never forget how fritz affected so much love and light into our family, again in our darkest moments. coming here to minneapolis to say good-bye to joan. most of you remember fritz went to the may owe clinic for quadruple bypass the very next day. he delayed the surgery to be with all of us to reflect her life. he put off treating his own heart because his heart belonged to joan. as i've said many times i say to the family seeing your mom and dad together reminded me of that great line from kristen marlo's poem, come live with me and be my love and we shall all the pleasures prove. you can tell when a couple has been together a long time, still looks at each other with love, deep love. it's been said that memory is the power to gather roses in winter. ted, william, your dad blessed you with an endless garden of those memories. and, most of all, the memory of two extraordinary loves, a love of more than 58 years he spent together with your mom, a love of 51 years with your sister eleanor. in his farewell letter fritz wrote that he was eager to rejoin joan and eleanor, two unbreakable loves. jill biden wanted to do a garden at the vice president's residence, a picture of which shows on the screen outside here as i'm standing in front of the residence, so every family that ever had lived there was a garden of stones and engraving with the name of the couple and the children. i called fritz to tell him about it. he came over to the house. it was a summer day. and he wanted -- can we go in the house? i said, of course. he wanted to walk up to the third floor. walked up to the third floor and then to the end, there are bedrooms on the third floor. and he stopped in front of a door and opened it and just stared. i knew he was thinking something deep and i went down the hallway. a few minutes went by and he came down and he said, that was eleanor's room. i so miss her. and they're all together now for all of time. emerson wrote an institution is a lengthening shadow of one man. there's no doubt the institution of the senate, the institution of the vice president reflect the profound legacy of fritz mondale. but it's not a lengthening shadow we see in those places. it's his light. and it's up to each of us to reflect that light that fritz was all about. to reflect fritz's goodness and grace, the way he made people feel, no matter who you were. just imagine what our nation could achieve if we followed fritz's example of honor, decency, integrity. literally just the service of the common good. there would be nothing -- nothing, nothing, nothing -- beyond our reach. i hope we all can be fritz's mi mirror, continue to spread his light because you know he was one of the finest men you've ever known, one of the most decent people i've ever dealt with, one of the toughest, smartest men i've ever worked with. we were lucky to have had him. he was lucky to have had you. god bless you, my dear friend. among the greatest of all americans. the highest compliment my grandfather used to say you can give a man or woman. he was the irish of it, he's a good man. fritz mondale was a good man. [ applause ] and you are live in the cnn "newsroom." i'm jim acosta in washington. you were listening to president biden speaking at the memorial service for former vice president walter mondale, honoring his late friend fritz. you could hear the president at times talking about mondale, how he lifted up the then senator in the early days of his being in the senate when he was going through a terrible time in his own personal life. i want to bring in democratic strategist and cnn political commentator maria cardona and david fromme. president biden said walter mondale was one of the people who helped him find his purpose, inspired him to be a senator after his wife and daughter died in that car crash so many years ago. he also talked about walter mondale's ability to unite people even when they disagreed. it feels like we're seeing the president preside over a memorial service for an american who was lost who reflected a different era in our politics. i t >> i think biden is at his best in these eulogies f. anybody does a compilation, the eulogy is probably the place to start. he brings such deep feeling. he's obviously a very warm-hearted man and the relationship with fritz mondale was beyond personal because of the grieves they both suffered, the loss in each case after child in the prime of life. the president made also an important institutional point. vice president mondale invented the modern vice presidency. before mondale, the vice presidency was a target of jokes. the vice presidency is not worth a bucket of warm spit except it wasn't spit. mondale is the first important vice president, nug rating a tradition george h.w. bush, dick cheney, it raises a question, one of the things left when we go back to the land of the living, what lessons did president biden learn from fritz mondale about how he would run not his own vice presidency to barack obama but his current vice presidency. is he implementing the lessons mondale imparted that obama executed? is biden in his turn living up to that or falling short? >> and walter mondale also was sort of the embodiment of minnesota nice. that's how he was known. as we were discussing earlier he just, i think, typifies an era that we all wish would come back to washington, i suppose, maybe we get carried away and saying this golden age in washington where they would fight during the day and gather for drinks perhaps after 5:00 in the evening here in d.c. and hash things out in a more gentlemanly, civil sort of way than we see here in washington. but walter mondale really did reflect that. >> he did and i think what was so compelling about president biden's remarks is that you do see kind of that as an era of the past and you sort of look at it as, oh, we need to be doing more of that. we need to kind of harken back and learn those lessons. well, joe biden is living that. >> that's true. >> joe biden is -- we talk about how empathetic and good and decent and honorable walter mondale was, joe biden talking about that. those are the characteristics and the virtues of the current president of the united states and i think -- i don't think that's lost on people. i think people know that he is inherently a good man but, to your point, it is not something that is always front and center because of everything that we have lived in the last several years with this divisive rhetoric and divisive politics. i love this eulogy because it did bring back that era to today and kind of underscored without obviously him saying so, because that wouldn't be him, but he embodies the same kinds of virtues he was hailing mondale about in terms of just seeing that goodness in other people, governing with those kinds of virtues. having the courage to govern with those virtues front and center and that is what joe biden is trying to do in today's washington and we all know how difficult that is. >> david, let's talk about the president's other notable speech of the week, remarks at the white house correspondents' dinner. there were some zingers there aimed at the republicans. and the white house prepared everybody. he's really going to tear into the republicans, and it was still very joe biden way of needling the other side of the aisle. there were also some pretty, i think, serious moments. there were some moments of seriousness i think we should look back at. let's watch and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> there's incredible pressure on you all to deliver heat instead of shed light because technology is changing so much. the system is changing. but it matters. no kidding, it matters. the truth matters. american democracy is not a reality show. it's not a reality show. [ applause ] >> line of the night. >> what was striking that whole evening, not just the president's speech, the comedian trevor noah's speech, i encourage people to watch steve's speech, very effective speech by the white house correspondents' association. there was something a little bit of a throwback thursday about the event. many fewer hollywood types, more crowded but much lets glitzy. a lot of advertisers from the many new media that are being launched, axios, but the theme from the podium and all three of those important speeches was an unironic, unapologetic use of the word free people, free media. what is important? it's the memory of trump. it's the reality from ukraine. and portman in particular was talking in a way i think would have been very familiar if you were at this event in 1958 or 1978 that we got out of the habit of in 1998 and 2008 and are reminded by the three of them including that important speech by the president of the association that the free media is not to be taken for granted. one more thing about that, journalists, as joked about in the beginning, are not a popular group. since the beginning of the war in ukraine, almost a dozen journalists from many countries, including some from russia, lost their lives trying to tell people about the war. cross town rivals fox news, gruesome things that happened to their prime time lineup. they have two people whom they lost. this is a serious and heavy commitment, and that's what the profession at best is about. >> we heard the president say one more time the press is not the enemy of the people. let's get to some of the zingers. there were zingers. let's review those and we'll talk on the other side. >> i'm really excited to be here tonight. we're the only group of americans with a lower approval rating than i have. it's the first time the president attended this dinner in six years. [ applause ] it's understandable. we had a horrible plague followed by two years of covid. folks, i'm not really here to roast the gop. that's not my style. besides, there's nothing i can say about the gop that kevin mccarthy hasn't already put on tape. >> there you go. the jokes kind of wrote themselves last night. >> they really did. it was so refreshing to see the occupant of the oval office be able to laugh at a joke instead of be one. and so this is what i was -- i thought it was -- it was right on. there was a lot of, i think, question marks as to whether both biden as well as trevor noah were going to be able to really meet the balance, because we are in really serious times, right? we're still in covid, the war in ukraine, everything going on with democracy, our own democracy, and would they be able to really kind of balance it out and have it be funny but at the same time really meet those moments of seriousness in terms of the importance of journalists and their role. and i think they were able to do that. both of them did that. i think at the very end both president biden and trevor noah did this in an incredibly compelling way with some joking but to really talk about how this country really is unique in terms of the role of journalists when trevor noah turned to the president and say said i joked about you all night but i'm going to be fine, right? that's really important. >> it was a good night for the first amendment. >> absolutely. >> and we needed one. >> you should know this firsthand, jim. >> i do. maria, david, thank you. up next, the miracle in the war zone. 100 civilians evacuated from that besieged steel plant in mariupol this is brand-new footage of the rush to safety. we'll get a live report from ukraine next. you get free nights fast! book now at bestwestern.com. this mother's day, show mom that you worship the ground she walks on. or in this case, stands on. the new anti-fatigue comfortmat from weathertech is a gift she'll appreciate all year round. it makes standing comfortable in the home or office and comes in a variety of colors and finishes. and for mom's vehicle, there's cupfone, floorliner, cargoliner, and seat protector. show mom that she deserves the best with an american made gift from weathertech. mom's gonna love this! happy mother's day from weathertech. my great grandmother started a legacy of education in my family. she ran for state office. had no problems breaking the norms. she had a dream and decided to pursue it. find the strong women in your family with ancestry. in ukraine miracles have been hard to come by. there's one report today, ukraine confirm 100 civilians including small children have been evacuated from a steel plant in mariupol that has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance this is brand-new video we are showing you of their escape. for weeks they have been trapped alongside hundreds of others as russia relentlessly attacked food, water, medicine, running out. today they are free. and when you see the images of the city they leave behind with almost every building destroyed you can appreciate what a miracle it is they survived. officials estimate more than 20,000 people inside the city have died. more dead in two months than the nazis killed in mariupol in two years. ukraine's prosecutor general says more than 9,000 cases of potential war crimes under investigation and they're opening new cases every day. in the meantime the country getting a high-profile and symbolic show of support. house speaker nancy pelosi making an unannounced visit to kyiv on saturday to meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy thanking him in person for fighting for freedom. the fight is far from over. russia's defense ministry releasing a video claiming to show the launch of a high-precision missile that struck a military airfield near the critical port city of odesa. we can take all of these reports from the russian authorities with a grain of salt. but the ukrainian military confirming russia is building up its operations airing this video of heavy shelling in the donetsk region. to matt rivers who joins me now from kyiv. matt, remarkable news about some success in evacuating people from mariupol. operations are paused apparently until monday and we've learned some shelling has resumed in certain areas. what can you tell us? a lot to sort out there. >> reporter: yeah, jim. it seems like in mariupol and at that steel plant complex every time there is a small step forward there's two, three, four, five gigantic steps back. and that's exactly where we are seemingly right now with this ceasefire that miraculously held up for two straight days according to both sides, frankly. now over, apparently, because shelling, according to a soldier that we've been speaking to inside that steal plant complex, says that shelling has once again started which means not only the evacuation corridor has stopped, not only have evacuations stopped for the time being, that directly puts in harm's way all of the people still in there. when there is shelling the women and children that remain inside that complex are at direct risk. and it would seem even crueler if some were injured or killed in this situation because some of the people were in there just managed to get out. you're talking about close to 200 people. some people going towards russian-held areas, about 100 people making their way, according to ukrainian officials to the city of zaporizhzhia which is in ukrainian-held territory and that is a small miracle, as you say, because it has been weeks and weeks of leading up to this point. you and i have been talking about this. the fight to get evacuation corridors open has been lost time and again according to the ukrainians because of russian violations of ceasefire. today it did hold up for a little while and that is good news even if we have this latest shelling that has apparently resumed. >> and, matt, as we mentioned a few moments ago house speaker nancy pelosi met with president zelenskyy in an unannounced trip to kyiv. she was with the delegation of house democrats. you can see the intelligence committee chairman adam schiff, chairman meeks and others. it's always important, i think, significant to see u.s. officials, high-level u.s. officials on the ground with president zelenskyy. we saw it last week and are seeing it today. what can you tell us about this? >> yes, and this isn't a one-off. it was just last week that you and i were talking about the last senior u.s. delegation to come here, that being secretary of state antony blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin and then president biden a few days later requests $33 billion, some humanitarian and some to the heavy weaponry zelenskyy administration has been requesting for a while now and then a few days later the speaker of the house, one of the highest ranking government officials in the united states, shows up here with a senior delegation. the symbolism not lost on president zelenskyy. he thanked nancy pelosi for coming here, bringing some of her fellow democrats, senior delegation there. the symbolism quite big, jim, because you know pelosi is going to play a key role in shepherding a package surrounding that presidential request for $33 billion in aid. she will play a big role in trying to get that to the president's desk to sign which would eventually send weapons here. >> absolutely. that will be a huge effort. matt rivers, great to see you as always. thanks so much. appreciate it. and some of vladimir putin's family members and oligarch friends have been slapped with sanctions as punishment for russia's brutality against ukraine. one person not yet singled out for sanctions at this point is a woman whose relationship with putin officially does not even exist. his long time girlfriend. putin has denied their relationship and whether or not they have children together. rumors still swirl about their romantic connection. joining me is former kgb agent, the author of the book deep under cover, my secret life and entangled allegiances as a kgb spy in america, also the executive producer of the agent streaming or major audio platforms. jack, the last time we spoke with you it was fascinating. a lot of people really responded to it. it's great to have you back. the u.s. has already sanked putin's two adult daughters. but according to "the wall street journal" they stopped short of sanctioning this woman described as putin's mistress, his girlfriend, because they worried it would be too confrontational. that is a fascinating distinction. i mean, is this the one person in the world who actually could make a difference in squeezing putin? what do you think? >> no. if anybody believes vladimir putin cares for anybody including his mistress, he doesn't. he doesn't know how to love. he doesn't know how to care for anybody but himself. he, by the way, he has denied, insist enterally denied, he has a relationship with her claiming -- he considers himself married to the russian people. >> yeah. he's never confirmed how many children he has or does not have with her. she's been rumored about so much out there. how much is this about their safety? how much is this about having people to hide his money? that's been speculated quite a bit. what are your thoughts? >> the key word speculation. vladimir putin is possibly the most secretive individual on the planet today. he makes sure nobody really knows anything about him and some people obviously know. they are very much afraid to leak out the truth. i give you one example, oleg was at one time his boss. he knew things he would never ever speak in public. he lives in the united states now. if he's concerned, and he was a tough guy. whatever is coming out it's either misinformation, disinformation coming directly from the kremlin or speculation that starts somewhere and people pick it up. i don't like being engaged in that kind of guessing game because it gets us nowhere. >> and the last time we spoke we talked about the risk to putin from fellow spies. two months into this war things aren't exactly going well for him. what do you think that relationship looks like now, and does putin -- what are your thoughts on his level of paranoia -- does he experience paranoia? does paranoia strike deep in the heart of vladimir putin? what do you think now this war has not been going swimmingly for him? i suppose they may all be telling him it's going just fine and he's deluded himself into thinking that as well. if the truth is seeping in, does he get paranoid? >> i think he has been paranoid for quite some time. he's a smart man and he knows dictators live a dangerous life. if there is any danger coming at him from his inner circle, it would be most likely be coming from the military because, you know, based on the way he has directed the war, he's destroying his own military. but let's not hope for a coup d'etat. you know how many assassination attempts hitler survived? 42 of them. it is very, very difficult to have a conspiracy where you need to trust everyone in that circle 100% and folks who operate in intelligence and the direct -- the direct underlings of vladimir putin don't trust each other either. i would not expect putin to meet an untimely or early end. >> yeah. i suppose you might be right. he might be too crafty. we'll see in the coming days. jack barsky, we'll have you back and will keep checking in. great insights as always. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. and we'll be right back.

i guess we just have to ask you being face-to-face with someone who has just become a global icon fighting for democracy and freedom in ukraine. >> it was pretty extraordinary to sit down with him. we were with him about three hours and covered a waterfront of issues to realize as we were talking there were people fighting to defend their territory and democracy and the message we want to deliver was that we are in solidarity with ukraine. we recognize the importance of their fight to ukrainians but to people all over the world. if russia can get away with this, this naked aggression, this invasion of their neighbor, what's to make us think they'll stop with ukraine? and we wanted to hear from him. is he getting what he needs? it's never enough but we wanted to make sure he's getting the military equipment and wanted to make sure as the intelligence chair he's getting the intelligence he needs, discussed the refugees, the war crimes going on and he was knowledgeable and impressive. >> and we know the president in recent days has called for $33 billion in aid to ukraine, increased aid to ukraine. how did that come across to president zelenskyy? i know he is, as you were mentioning a few moments ago, clamoring for more and more assistance from the global community. did that sound like the kind of price tag, the kind of aid that he wants to see flowing in? >> well, he began by thanking us, thanking the president for the extraordinary contribution we're making to ukraine's defense. it's his job be to say that nothing is enough. we understand that, we respect that. within that really vast sum, the weapons he needs, what other assistance that he needs, a detailed discussion of the next phase of the war is moving from a phase in which ukrainians were ambushing russian tanks, it was close quarters fighting to fighting more at a distance using long-range artillery and changes the nature of what ukraine needs to defend itself. >> and just the other day the defense secretary lloyd austin talked about a goal of the united states being to see russia weakened. did those comments make it all the way to president zelenskyy? and do you think that russia is on that path to being weakened? the way things are going what has been a successful military campaign or do you have questions as to whether or not they can grind this out for months and perhaps even years? >> those comments resonated with me. we want to make sure russia can never provoke this kind of war against its neighbors again. for that reason i hope these sanctions go on in perpetuity even as i hope the conflict comes to an end. in terms whether president zelenskyy was aware of what our secretary of defense said, i'm sure he was. they pay assiduous attention to what our leadership is saying, how they are describing our war aims. whether this is doable, can the ukrainians fight and win and degrade russia's capabilities, force them out of ukrainian lands, you cannot stop the will to fight. many people around the world, many in moscow, didn't think ukraine could hold out as it has. putin certainly thought this would be over quickly. if not as liberators they would meet only minimal resistance but they have met fierce resistance. we want to underscore we are with ukraine until they are successful and want to provide them with all the support they need. >> and what did you make of what has been taking place in mariupol over the last couple of days where we've seen some ukrainians being allowed out of that besieged steal plant in mariupol where, as you know, that entire area has been devastated over and over again by the russian attacks and so on. why do you suppose they allowed this to happen, chairman? >> i'm not sure. we raised this with president zelenskyy and he was hopeful they might be able to evacuate some of the civilians. after so many disappointments, who could say. it remains dire in terms of military personnel. they have leveled the city. it was obviously a very important manufacturing city and the russian approach to the resistance they met in mariupol was to level the city and engage in crimes against humanity. >> and your thoughts on a trip to ukraine. something the white house should consider. i know sending the president of the united states -- totally different story -- when it comes to making a trip like that to kyiv. something the white house should consider? i think it's only a matter of time. we didn't discuss that with the president today although we did have a conversation with the president. we spoke with him to give him our report on our discussions with president zelenskyy, what our recommendations were and how we could more materially support but it is under consideration. >> all right. congressman adam schiff, kudos to you for making it in there and getting out safely. thanks for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. stats. he's finding some investment ideas with merrill. eyes on the ball b baby. digital l tools so impressive, you just can't stop. what would you like the power to do?
