schumer: i do not. i think everything putin does is aimed at trying to dominate, and i do not trust a word he says. yes, i had an unclassified briefing yesterday. i had to go to a secure line, so i had to go to fort hamilton in brooklyn to talk with the president. it was unclassified, but there were limits as to what could be discussed. but let me tell you a few points. first, there is strong unity in congress supporting the people of ukraine. second, our country is aware of the possibility of cyber attacks on the united states by russia, and the biden administration is working to ensure critical infrastructure is protected. third, we will have a classified briefing in a setting where we can, in washington early next week. >> ukrainian ambassador to the u.s. holds a briefing to update the press on the second day of fighting with russia's invading forces.

in your interview chuck schumer did not take a stand on that. he said i'm focused on 2022, getting things done and winning the election. i'm not focused on 2024 and neither should anyone else be. if you're thinking too far ahead you have trouble but isn't that the reality? some democrats are still mad. >> it's remarkable to hear a senate leader not exactly say whether or not he would support one of his own senators running for re-election. typically that's expected. any senator could expect the leadership will fall behind them, i suspect schumer will but it speaks to the tension that has grown because of the strategy that he along with joe biden have pushed over voting rights, what they focused on at the beginning of the congress this year and they knew there was no chance of changing joe manchin and kiyrsten sinema's minds and that sparked animosity to the left where there are calls almost every day. but schumer wants to stay away from that and says he has no regrets in pushing for for the votes saying they came to vote and we should vote. >> o
