out of office, speaker mike johnson is under mounting pressure, after sending the house on a two week recess as critical aid for ukraine hangs in the balance. donald trump puts america's allies on edge, and a budget

shutdown looms. congressman andy kim of the house foreign affairs committee, and former dnc chair howard dean join me live to discuss all of this and more. fanny feedback. america's reaction to the fulton county d. a.'s fiery testimony this week, and what it says about race, gender, and her case against donald trump. i'll talk about it with maya wylie. and, again -- designer b. michael is here to discuss the incredible looks he cried for the iconic actress sicily tyson, and their unique bond of friendship and fashion. i'm jonathan capehart, this is the sunday show. ♪ ♪ ♪ many of you will be off for the presidents day holiday. a one day respite from work. but if you are in congress, it will be day four of a 14-day

recess. lawmakers bolted town so fast they left behind a long and hefty to do list that has major implications at home, and abroad. a list that will only grow more urgent as each passing day. when the house returns on february 28th, speaker mike johnson will have only three working days to avoid a partial government shutdown on march 1st. but right now, there is a stalemate over critical aid for ukraine, because speaker johnson will make it abundantly clear that he will not bring to floor for a vote the sentence 95. 3 billion dollar foreign aid package that passed, with a staggering 70 votes. on friday, president biden blasted the republican-led house for skipping town, before sending vital support to our allies. >> history is watching the house of representatives. it's failure to support ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten.

it's about time they step up, don't you think? they said they're going on a two week vacation. two weeks? they're walking away. >> this sentiment was echoed more starkly by ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, at the munich security conference. >> we all must -- do not -- something, but everything possible, to defeat the aggressor. please, everyone, remember that dictators do not go on vacation. >> grim battlefield news coming out of ukraine, highlights the urgent need for american assistance. ukrainian forces have confirmed their withdrawal from the eastern city of -- , located in central donetsk. the retreat is a major battlefield loss for ukraine, in its war against the russian invasion. a loss the biden administration is directly blaming on, quote, congressional inaction. nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel explained earlier why this could be a turning point in the

war. >> the russians are advancing on the front line. and now, with -- it is the biggest russian advance in the last year. so, it is symbolic, but it is a symbol of things that are shifting here in russia's favor. >> and this setback for ukraine is unfolding as russian president vladimir putin appears more emboldened than ever. hundreds of people have been detained across russia for attending memorial gatherings after the death of the kremlin's most outspoken critic, alexei navalny, in a siberian prison. president biden pointed the finger directly at the russian president, saying quote, make no mistake, putin is responsible for navalny's death. putin has yet to comment on navalny's death. you know who else, has been

silent, donald trump, the putin apologist and republican presidential front runner who is doubling down on encouraging russia to, quote, do whatever the hell they want to our nato allies, if they don't contribute enough to defense funding. joining me now, democratic congressman andy kim of new jersey, and member of the house foreign affairs committee, and candidate for the united states senate. congressman kim, thanks for coming on to discuss the -- sunday show. will the death of alexei navalny put more pressure on congress to get aid to ukraine? >> well, it should. it should, because it highlights just the dangers that are out there. and, especially on this coming effort, the roughly two year anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. it really highlights the battle that is fought. but i will tell, you a lot of my colleagues in the house of representatives on the republican side, they really don't want to go forward in this direction. and they are putting our national security at tremendous

risk. >> a bipartisan group of house lawmakers has also unveiled a 66. 3 billion dollar alternative proposal, that includes border provisions, and only military assistance to ukraine, israel, and taiwan. what do you make of this alternative, does it stand a chance? >> well from what i've seen so far, the speaker continues to go down this very reckless and dangerous path of just stalling anything and everything, when it comes to ukraine. so i am not sure exactly where it is going to go. i think it shows that bipartisan support is there. if he brought it to a vote, if the speaker brought it up to a vote, it would have, in terms of ukraine aid even on its, own it would have enormous support across the board. so it's really a speaker, and a small minority of the republican party that is really holding this up right now. >> yeah, and congressman kim, the new york times reports today that at the munich security conference, discussion about ultimate plans to arm ukraine, quote, include the possibility of having germany, among others, by american arms and deliver them to the ukrainian front, if congress does not find the money. would you support a clever move like that?

>> well look, right now there is so much at stake, when it comes to ukraine. i mean, this is vital right now. i will certainly be open to a number of different avenues. but it just shows how diminished american global leadership is right now, and just how much damage the republican party is doing to our standing. i mean, i can't tell you the number of world leaders and other officials from other governments i talked to, that are just honestly saying where is america? the main question they say is, is america a reliable partner? and honestly, they say the answer to that is no. and so, that is something that is deeply alarming to me, and it is something that is going to be affecting our ability to handle other crises around the

world to. >> congressman kim, if speaker johnson does nothing, democrats can use the legislative tool called a discharge petition to force the senate's foreign aid bill onto the floor, if they can get 218 backers. there is a broadly worded discharge petition that already exists, but it still leaves a handful of more lawmakers to sign on. two questions. could that be used? and have you signed on to that discharge petition already? >> it could be used. we have to be able to find enough republicans that are willing to buck donald trump and bucked the seat -- speaker right now. and i'll be honest with you that is hard going. we have a lot of cowards in the house of representatives right now in congress right now that are unwilling to do that despite again how much damage is doing to our credibility to our leadership and to our national security. so i hope that we are able to find every tool, and that is certainly one that i would be supportive of. but we've got to make sure that we get the votes that we need to to get it to pass. >> so that means you have signed on to the discharge petition? >> the discharge petition hasn't moved forward just yet. but it is something that we, are again, engaged in conversations about. with republicans, to see whether or not there will be enough to support it. >> okay, i will take that as a

yet. congressman andy kim from the great state of new jersey, my home state, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> and joining me now to continue the conversation, howard dean, former democratic governor of vermont, and former chairman of the dnc. chairman dean, great to see you. the biden harris campaign is jumping on trump's attacks on nato, listen. >> for 75 years, nato has been the most important military alliance in the world. it's been the cornerstone of americas security. it's how we won the cold war, and defeated the soviet union. every president since truman has been a rock solid supporter of nato. except for donald trump. trump wants to walk away from nato. he's even given putin and russia the greenlight to attack america's allies. >> i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. >> no president has ever said anything like that.

it's shameful. it's weak. it's dangerous. it's un-american. >> governor dean, will this resonate, will that message we just listened to and watch, will that resonate with american voters? >> yeah, i think they're going to be a number of factors that when joe biden the election. and that's one of them. we've never had somebody who you could probably accuse of treason, become the president of the united states. on the freewill of american voters. i know there are a lot of people out there who just want to kick the government in the butt. but the fact is, the government is protecting us from people like putin. and if you think navalny was the last person he's going to poison wait till he gets his hands on the united states of america. so this is stupidity, in addition to the crack pot-ism and the republican party seems to be composed of two kinds of people. there are about 10% reasonable thoughtful people that i may disagree with, and 45% crazy people. and the other 30% or 40% are cowards. you know, you've got to stand up for america, your job is not to stand up for donald trump or some other politician. stand up for america, and do what's right for a change.

on the issue of abortion, the new york times reports that trump told his advisers and allies that he likes the idea of a 16-week national abortion ban. and the times reports today on the front page, this headline, trump's allies planned to bolster abortion plants. don't these revelations keep the issue alive for democrats to use against republicans up and down the ballot? >> they will be used against republicans. and furthermore, i don't believe trump, trump's for a 16- week abortions while he is running for office. but the people behind him want to eliminated and ban it all the time, with the article on the front page of the suggesting that we use an old -- -- act to make abortion illegal everywhere in the country. you can't, i am shocked by the amount of harm that the republicans are doing to this country. i am shocked. and if you think the economy is going to get better under

donald trump, you are big mistaken, big time. it is going to get a lot worse, because people are going to start taking their money and investing it in a stable country, which doesn't kowtow to dictators. >> on another issue governor, there was also a report from the washington post that u.s. immigration and customs enforcement has drafted plans to release thousands of migrants, due to budget shortfalls, that congress has failed to address. in other words, inaction will make border problems even worse. how should the biden administration of prepare for this? >> you take a page out of tom suozzi. tom suozzi won that election and took over a republican seat, because exactly because of the actions of the republicans in congress. when you put the well-being of your lunatic campaign for president above the well-being of the country, you made a big mistake. there was a tough immigration bill that went to the house, and nothing has happened, because donald trump didn't want it to happen, and the republicans don't have a backbone between all 100 and whatever, of the 218 of them.

they don't have a single backbone, that is willing to stand up to donald trump and do its right to the country. we do need to tighten immigration laws, we need to separate -- we don't need to separate children from their parents as trump was doing. but we do need to tighten the border. and the republicans apparently are not interested in that, as long as they can have an election issue. i have never seen a candidate who comes as close to treason, and who's been president of the united states as donald trump. >> and to be clear, that senate bill that speaker johnson won't bring to the floor for a vote will provide the funding that would make it possible for ice to do its job. governor, one more question for you. the south carolina republican presidential primary is, it will be in six days, the upcoming saturday. if nikki haley loses her home state, should she and her campaign? >> i think that depends. you know, i don't know nikki haley, i've never met her. she did a credible job as a united nations ambassador, and she certainly understands the world, unlike trump.

so what i would say is, having been there before, you can't tell somebody, you can't tell somebody when to end their campaign. she is going to do that and figure that out for herself, far be for me to advice or what to do. she will feel when the right time is to end it. >> howard dean, former chair of the dnc, former governor of vermont, thank you as always for coming to the sunday show. >> thanks jonathan. >> and a programming note, for saturday, join us at four pm eastern, when jen psaki and i will host special coverage of the republican south carolina presidential primary. and then, at 6:30 pm eastern, rachel maddow will lead our analysis of the results, with steve kornacki and the big board. all of that next saturday, right here on msnbc. but up next, why fiery courtroom testimony from fulton county d. a. fani willis resonate with many black women, and what's at stake in the georgia election interference case. i'll break it all down with maya wylie, after the break. af. it could be a medical condition

conversation about race and gender in american culture. joining me now, civil rights attorney maya wylie. she is the president, and ceo of the leadership conference on civil and human rights. maya, thank you very much for coming back to the sunday show. >> always a pleasure. >> now to my mind, the sound we just played of d. a. willis was a turning point in her testimony, reminding people who actually is on trial, and why they are all gather together in the courtroom in the first place. what did you think? >> well, i thought that was exactly right. and a reminder about what is actually at stake. because remember that we are talking about georgia, georgia is the state where not only did trump's attorney, rudy giuliani show up and make false statements, both testifying in front of the state house. but also a video that ended up endangering the lives of two black women, who were public servants themselves, plus the fake electors scheme. we even know that there were folks that decided not to show up as electors, at least four of them, because it was so

shady. and it was a context in which the former president himself at the time had called the secretary of state, trying to find votes. >> 11,780 votes. >> correct. so what we say here is, this is an effort to try to get a case, if not delayed, then through -- there's no evidence of disqualification, so we should just take that off of the table. but the massive distraction, and the politics of the way they are playing the defense, here i think is very much what we saw at play in these hearings. now, it's a judge that is going to decide, but as we, know there is a constant effort to portray defendants in these cases that took actions and make decisions, all on their own, but as victims of a public servants charge, which is to decide and bring to jurors, right, there is a grand jury that decided that there should

be indictments here, not the district attorney herself, the grand jury, that these people should be held accountable, and be called to account before a jury of their peers. that's what's at stake here. >> now you said a moment ago that you don't think that she will be disqualified. but let's just for the folks who might be curious. if she is disqualified, what happens, what happens to the case? >> well the case doesn't necessarily go away. so what happens if she's disqualified, and i do want to say why she won't be. but if she were to be disqualified, there's actually a committee that makes a decision about where to shift the case too. in other words, it will go to another district attorney. but what that means is that that district attorney, with people worry about is well, another district attorney could make a different decision about what to do with the case, about whether to keep all of the indictments, whether to drop some of, them -- . that, that's a lot of speculation about what another district attorney would do. i suspect with all of this evidence, there would still be a prosecution of some people. but i just say, this

disqualification is not going to happen, because they don't have evidence to disqualify. >> so you know, d. a. fani willis had some other choice things to say, let's listen. >> i'm very much -- so i am not -- . i very much wants to be here. but let's be clear, because you lied, and i want to tell you which one you lied about here. i think you lied right here. no no no, this is the truth judge. and it is a lie, it is a lie! i don't need anything from a man, a man is not a plan, a man is a companion. i don't need anybody to foot my bill's. the only man who's ever foot my bill's completely is my daddy. >> now, we played that mash-up, because to me, what we were watching was a legal moment, but also a cultural moment. what did you think of not just the mash-up that you just showed, but of her testimony overall? >> well i mean, so much of i think one, she is saying i am not afraid to be here. that was part of what she was saying is, i am not afraid here, and don't get it twisted. well [laughter] and i think we also saw a woman who wanted to stand up, and obviously stand up for herself. and i think the reason it is such a big cultural and

important conversation in this moment is because black women have been struggling to get respect, be seen for their competence, and who they are. but also, to be recognized in their professional positions. she is the first black woman to be a fulton county district attorney. i mean as of like 2015, 95% of district attorneys were white men. so, this is, this is both about how she wants to be seen, as not only a professional, and as a competent prosecutor, but also as someone who is able to take care of herself, and who will stand up for herself. >> you know, robin -- my washington post columnist colleague. she had a traffic -- it was in the actual paper yesterday, where she writes about willis. she sat in the hot seat like it was her thrown. and she was ready to slice off some heads. i knew that it was going to be on and popping when she set after she walked in, she said oh no, i'm ready to go now. go ahead. >> so, one of the things that

we have seen in cases in which donald trump is a defendant, is intimidation. and intimidation with words, and oftentimes words that are also racist. and if you are a black prosecutor going up against donald trump, we have heard the racism, animal, peekaboo. which rhymes with a racial slur. so, part of i think what we are seeing with fani willis here is, i am not going to let you think you are doing that to me.

and remember, she was being attacked back in the summer, and she told everybody it's good, we are just going to keep our heads down, and do our jobs. so we are seeing a very different fani willis today. >> maya wiley, -- number one, thank you very much for coming back to the sunday show. >> thanks for having me. >> after the break, it is that time again, sounding off with my sunday panel. first up, how liz cheney says history will remember house speaker mike johnson. we will discuss this, and more, next. , next. even days after using. most commo effects were nausea, indigestion and stomach pain. talk to your doctor about nurtec today.

if mike johnson could, if he wanted to today, announced that he is going to call the house of representatives back into session. he could put the bill already passed the senate onto the floor of the house for a vote tomorrow. it could be on joe biden's desk by tomorrow night, in the aid could be flown to ukraine. history will back at this moment, and ask what did mike johnson do? he ought to understand that it -- is if he has to lose his speakership, in order to make sure that freedom survives, in order to make sure that the united states of america continues to play its leadership role in the world. >> that was former wyoming congresswoman liz cheney this morning, on house speaker mike johnson is refusing to do his job, and how history may remember him for it. joining me for a another round of sound offs is molly jong- fast, special correspondent for vanity fair, host of the fast politics fault podcast, and an msnbc political analyst. basil -- junior of -- at hunter college, in a democratic strategist. and stuart stevens, a senior adviser to the lincoln project, and author of the book, the conspiracy to end america, five

ways my old party is driving our democracy to autocracy. thank you all very much for coming back to the sunday show. stuart, let me start with you, and get your reaction to what former congresswoman liz cheney was saying about speaker johnson. i mean, will he have the courage to put a speakership on the line, to be on the right side of history? >> well, mike johnson says that god picked him to be speaker. maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but we do know that vladimir putin picked donald trump to be president. and we also are pretty confident that god didn't pick vladimir putin. so this is really a historical moment. i think this is going to have repercussions for the next generation, in really unimaginable. this thing will pass, if they bring it up. i don't know mike johnson, i don't know what kind of person he is. i know that he says he has supported ukraine. but this is not theoretical, you basically are asking how many ukrainians, innocent men, women and children, and brave soldiers fighting, are going to have to die for mike johnson's conscience? and it's as stark as that. it is a moment unlike any we

have had since pearl harbor, in america. >> >> if we do not defend ukraine, russia will certainly murder many more innocent ukrainians, and could very well take ukraine, and we could be fighting in warsaw within this decade. >> basil, and molly, i want to play a little bit more of what liz cheney had to say today, on cnn. let's listen. >> when you think about donald trump, for example, pledging retribution what vladimir putin did to navalny's what retribution looks like, in a country where the leader is not subject to the rule of law. and i think that we have to take donald trump very seriously, we have to take seriously the extent to which you have now got the prudent wing of the republican party. i believe the issue this election cycle is make sure

that the putin wing of the republican party does not take over the west wing of the white house. >> and basil, that is the way i think democrats should be talking about the republican party now. the putin wing of the republican party. >> that's right. and i think with liz cheney is trying to say is if somebody tells you who you are, you believe them. >> how you believe. and >> how many times has donald trump told who he is, but there are republicans who want to say oh, he is not really serious. oh, we will moderate him overtime. that is not going to happen, you were talking about mike johnson not doing his job. the man who said that, let's see what happens if i pull out a gun and shoot somebody on fifth avenue, you've got to believe that he will push and push and push, and test as far as he can go, because we've seen it already. so i have no problem trying to, for the democratic party, for aid, including to go out there and say this man is dangerous, and belief.

>> molly, i see you scribbling down. [laughter] what are you writing? >> well the good news is i have such bad handwriting, you could -- never [laughter] . but what i was going to say was, he's very brave. and if you watch the rest of that program, you had tim scott on there, trying to defend the absolutely indefensible. and there were so many of these republicans on this putin arm of the republican party, who are willing to do anything to protect donald trump. and then here you have liz cheney, and she is out there. and i'm sure it is not a very comfortable place to be where she is right now. and she is really like it's very, i don't agree with a lot of her political beliefs, but

she has taken a very courageous stand. >> you mentioned senator tim scott, who was on one of the shows, and i saw some of the comments he made. and i was like, the man's human nyquil, i can't, i'm not going to play any of his sound. but i do want to play sound from senator lindsey graham of south carolina. he was on face the nation, talking about support for a bipartisan border deal, and a border national security -- . just listen to this man. >> i am saying that the house proposal, it depends on how it is written, makes perfect sense to me. i think you'll pick up 6 to 8 republicans who want to help ukraine, but believe that the bipartisan border bill was not sufficient enough. president trump says less -- on the border with all due respect, we cannot wait. it is a national security

nightmare. >> stuart, help me understand, for all of the reporting i have seen, senator graham was at the negotiating table for the bill that he then voted against. and the bill that he says, it depends on how it is written, is the one that is the 60 something billion dollar bill. that's a nice little caveat there, it depends on how it is written. can you believe anything that comes out of senator graham's mouth anymore, these days? >> you know, it's really really difficult to find a more pathetic example of public -- then lindsey graham. i mean, parents look at lindsey graham, tell your children don't become that. he spent his entire career with john mccain, and now he's spending this part of his career with donald trump. so, he knows what is at stake in ukraine he knows that the united states has a larger military than the next nine countries combined. he knows that we are spending less than 5% of the military budget on ukraine, and 90% of that is spent in the united

states. so why in the world do we have -- the budget of this size in the military, we could do both, and it is such a false choice. between the border and ukraine and israel. it's just, this is what being the world's only superpower, and a vastly wealthy country, and enabled you to do. you don't have to make these choices, you just have to be an honest human being, and responsible, and act like you are elected to govern. >> i mean, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me. there is just way too many people on capitol hill for whom that is just a bridge too far. all right, don't go anywhere, much more to talk about with my panel, including nikki haley throwing some serious shade on vice president kamala harris. that's after the break. kamala that's after the break. ah mornings! cough? congestion? i'm feeling better. all in one and done with new mucinex kickstart. headache? better now.
