there could also be more contentious questioning when senator marsha blackburn is up. and this has been a long day. in fact, 12 hours and counting including a few breaks in between. and it's been dare i say a dramatic day. we're going to unpack some of those moments ahead, but there's also major developments overseas we want to bring you up to speed on. ukrainian forces have made some major strides today in taking back some of the territory the russians have gained. but the putin bombardment is intensifying in and around the capital of kyiv. a day of smoke filling the sky and on the ground. and the fighting -- make no mistake -- is fierce. schools like this one in kharkiv now bear the scars of war. so does a psychiatric hospital in southern ukraine, destroyed by bombing. the city of mariupol reduced to ashes. but even the kremlin tonight is admitting to cnn putin hasn't been able to achieve his goals yet in ukraine. and quite relevant to that point, u.s. and nato officials tell cnn it's likely the country of belarus could soon be called in as backup for russian forces.

marsha blackburn really raised some issues that need to be answered . i hope and i think and i really do believe that the republicans will not attack her the way bore such and cavanagh were attacked. we need to have an open mind here and me being one of those, i think those issues really really need to be addressed. and on top of that, the democrats have a majority so i think because she will probably get in regardlessbut anyway, you have a blessed day and thank you . >> the new york times fact checker taking up this line that was first brought up by senator josh hawley of missouri. senator marsha blackburn talking about their concerns about some of these issues, her record on instancing of child sex users and judge ketanji brown jackson's views on those sentences. the new york times fact checker saying in a series of posts mister hawley judge jackson's legal recommendation and remarks and sentencing sessions out of context on this issue and miss blackburn's statements are a further distortion noting in to mister holly said judge jackson advocated for d

and so senator blackburn -- marsha blackburn from tennessee uses crt, it is really to tailor the message to the right-wing base. they are using it as a rallying cry, fundraising tool, and it is completely divorced from his actually meeting. when asking judge jackson about the 1619 project, i believe her words were that it was provocative. sohis idea that somehow she would use the 6019 project in her judicial rulings is just a disingenuous character ration -- characterization. i know we will continue to see on day three is that republicans are mischaracterizing, misquoting, taking out of context words and speeches that judge jackson has made. then we find the democrats are being put on the defensive, having to correct the record post of judge jackson an opportunity to explain herself and a defensive mode. this is all the destruction come again, from a woman who is overqualified for this position. amy: alexis hoag, thank you for being with us. democracy now! is live streaming these hearings from 9:00 a.m. eastern time. yesterday's went for more than 13 hours. we will do it again today. ale

joining us now, senator marsha blackburn from senate armed services. great to have you back on senator. good to see you. your reaction to today's events? >> yes. when you look at the speech, the remarks that president zelenskyy made today to congress it was very moving. he laid out specifically what they need. talked about a no-fly zone. if he couldn't get that, get armaments, hardware, missiles, anti-ballistic missile systems and getting all of that he needs in order to do the job. you know what, elizabeth? that would basically give him the ability to create a no-fly zone. so that was very good. what i really liked that he did was he mentioned, he personalized this to us, talking about the pearl harbor, talking about 9/11 and then he laid out a challenge to president biden after saying he appreciated the president's support saying be the leader of the free world. be the leader of peace. and i thought it was all very well-done. the video was wonderful. it was inspiring. he is an inspiring leader and to think he is doing all of this. he is 45 years old.

. >> marsha blackburn sits on the judiciary committee. it's offensive for democrats to demand civility after what they did to justice kavanaugh and hi family? >> judge, one of the things that we pointed out today is if this was going to be a hearing that be respectful of the process of the nominee of the american people. we were going to ask tough questions, which which we started in on today. and we were going to go through our record, her writings, her rulings, things that she has said, and bring that forward. this is a time that the american people should get to know who this judge is. and what type of justice she would be on the supreme court. that means we need to do our job. probe her record, and bring that record to light for the american people. >> janine: democrats have long claimed the judicial conservative philosophy is an impediment to being a justice. they've established that precedent. do we have the right to know what her philosophy is, not indicative of case law or cases but how she views the constitution. >> yes, indeed.

blackburn needed to wrap up. it was a long day for judge jackson, what key questions did she face, paula? >> you're right, extremely long day, over 13 hours of questioning, this was the first opportunity for lawmakers to grill the nominee, but don, she had a good sense of what was coming after lawmakers made their opening statements yesterday, which is what we saw at the opening of today's hearing. she issued a preemptive defense against one of the key lines of gop attack, accusing her of being soft on crime, specifically child porn offenses but even her preemptive offense didn't stop some gop lawmakers from spending most of their allotted time on this issue. let's take a listen. >> as a mother, and a judge who has had to deal with these cases, i was thinking that nothing could be further from the truth. >> judge, he was 18, these kids are eight. i don't see what sense they're peers. i got a nine-year-old, a seven-year-old, and a 16 month old at home and i live in fear that they will be exposed to, let alone, exp

here's marsha blackburn's opening statement. >> i can only wonder what's your hidden agenda? is it to let violent criminals, cop killers, and child predators back on the streets? is it to restrict parental rights in our schools and family decisions? is it to support the radical left's attempt to pack the supreme court? you have praised the 1619 project, which argues the u.s. is a fundamentally racist country. >> it must have been difficult for her to sit there for so many hours and hear what was being said and the accusations. this is a preview, by the way. daniel holly walker's name was floated at the top of the supreme court candidates. she used to be at the howard university school of law. dean, i'm glad you're hear. i have to ask you your initial reactions to what you're seeing. there's an overall theme, and marsha blackburn tends to have a kitchen sink argument to suggest that everything is falling on the shoulders of a hidden agenda of the judge. what was your impression of the line of opening statements that came today? >> laura, thank you so much for having me this ev

and you raised marsha blackburn as well. you saw examples of dragging a lot of the worst of the internet conspiracy theories on to this particular very public mainstream stage. and including this focus on child pornography, clearly looking at sentencing and child pornography cases or any of the case she's judged is fair game in terms of talking about the hearing, but the obsession with child porn in general is native to qanon and hits a lot of buttons for people who have found conspiracies on the right in recent years. >> and the private school that brown jackson is on the board of trustees on, just marsha blackburn's body of work, not just in this hearing, but others, certainly requires some examination. i'll leave it at that. great to see you. i can't wait to catch you next week on cnn plus. next week. >> can't wait to see all of our viewers. >> so soon. i know. all right. so north korea firing what is believed to be its first intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017. we have some details on this new type of missile t

. >> i want you to listen to what senator marsha blackburn asked judge jackson this week. >> can you provide a definition for the word "woman"? >> can i provide a definition? no. >> the fact that you can't give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about. >> what was your reaction when you saw that moment? >> i think there were a lot of moments like that that were deflating to me and disappointing to me. but the reality is, number one, she could have had 22 senators in that room as opposed to 11 who were asking questions that were a bit beyond the pale, she still would have persevered. she still would have overcome and be on the way to sitting on the highest court of the land. i think what was unfortunate in the room for me was that she was getting attacks that were roundly criticized, even by people on the right, as being beyond the pale. but yet again, i got a chance to witness firsthand what i think many people in america can relate to, is when you show up in a room qu

i do want to touch again on marsha blackburn, though. she said previously, folks may recall, when judicial nominee andre mathis was up for his confirmation process and she said he had a rap sheet, when he doesn't. is that a pattern with your colleagues that concerns you? >> that was an unfortunate choice of words for senator blackburn and many of raised that point earlier. if a speeding ticket constitutes a rap sheet, i guess we all have one. the notion of a rap sheet is the commission of serious crime, which that nominee, nor this nominee, has any problem with. i hope that we're careful in our wording before the committee today and fair in our questioning and give her a chance, finally, to respond. >> senator josh hawley wants to focus on her record when it comes to issuing sentences for defendants in child pornography cases. this is what he said about that. >> if you look at her record, what you see is this is someone who has consistently let sex predators, child sex predators off the hook, for people who have been convicted of child p

marsha blackburn really raised some issues that need to be answered. i hope and think and really believe the republicans will not attack her the way gorsuch and cavanaugh were attacked, so i think we need to have an open mind here, me being one of those my but i think those issues really need to be addressed. on top of that, democrats have the majority, so i think she will probably get in regardless. anyway, have a blessed day and thank you. host: the new york times fact checker taking up this line first brought up why senator josh hawley of missouri and senator marsha blackburn about her record on sentencing of child sex abusers and judge ketanji brown jackson's views on those kind of sentences. the new york times fact checker said, esther holly last week took judge jackson's legal recommendations and sentencing decisions out of context on this issue and's blackburn -- and blackburn's statements -- eliminating the existing mandatory minimum sentencing on child port as a member of the sentencing commission, which advises congress on federal sentencing

host: judge ketanji brown jackson and her exchange with marsha blackburn. you can watch all of this and the entire 13 hours on our website at c-span.org. you can watch these in their entirety. we are asking your thoughts on yesterday's confirmation hearings. plenty of thoughts by those who are paid to write about them in today's newspapers. front page from usa today, jackson defends her legal decisions. john fritz is the author. this is how he puts what happened yesterday. in a marathon first day of questioning, jackson avoided any missteps that would change the narrative she is on a path to confirmation as the first black woman to serve on the supreme court. republicans asked probing questions about her record and judicial philosophy, but there were few theatrics as jackson repeatedly delved deeply into her approach to the law. if you want to read his story, usa today. jerry, sidney, montana for the line for those that say no. caller: i had the same question as the prior caller. she could not define woman for senator blackburn and to me if you cannot even

steve: is a great political moments, and that exchange with marsha blackburn because it reveals something so deep that they are so frightened of crossing the militant extremist activist. they are completely controlled by the activist on that issue. we see it with race and climate. we have that madness of energy policy right now. begging venezuela and iran even with energy here in america. to come across the activist and they are terrified. >> so remember this is something they believe in. so not only are they dealing with special interest in controlling them and also wealthy people and also controlling the culture but we can see it going right down into the elementary schools. we can see that sweeping across the country and then try to defend the police i was on the board of this last week and those younger who was abandoned by traffickers only 18 years old and possibly harmed. and then with the sentencing which was an 18 -year-old who had horrific child pornography and pedophilia on his laptop was only sentenced three months when it should have been plus ten years. she reduced her senten

marsha blackburn of tennessee asked biden's supreme court nominee, ketanji jackson, what should be the easiest question posed. can you define what a woman is? put yourself in your position and how relieved jackson must've been when she heard that question because she stayed up all night memorizing up to your case law from 1970 and court president. when she finally gets to hearing them, all the republicans want is a recap of ninth grade biology. what is a woman? a world famous scholar like ketanji jackson, that should be slow and steady down the plate. a woman, jackson would've said looking incredulous? that simple. a woman is a human being with 2x chromosomes. ask any geneticist. if you're still confused by what a woman is, you can ask a doctor. women have wider pelvis is an different bone structures from men, not to mention different. it's obvious to women looking at them. women are built differently because their bodies are designed to do different things. nature is real. women and men straight. women give birth and breastfeed. men do not do these things because they can't. not a sin

blackburn? excuse me. this is a historic nominee. thurgood marshall, 69 votes. sonia sotomayor, 68 votes. we have a practice of historic fists, like the first black woman, or first black person and the first woman getting significant bipartisan support. and this judge deserves it. and the way they treated her was appalling. i am appalled as a black woman, appalled >> carlos, is it concerning to you, to the american bar association, that we are seeing now this completely partisan divide when it comes to the confirmation of justices as we saw with amy coney barrett. and we're expecting to see with judge jackson here? >> unfortunately, it is very disturbing to the national bar association. i cannot speak exactly for the american bar association. for the national bar association, it is disturbing to us. we don't believe politics belongs when it comes to confirming judges or justices to our nation's highest court. unfortunately, that is the political climate at this time. and we are hoping and callin

and the health and wellness section ironically, the headlin reads marsha blackburn asked ketanji brown jackson to define women. the sign says there's no simple answer. the same folks who came up with the phrase follow the signs tha ignore their own advice when it is a benefit there politics so guess we can't call jackson the first black woman supreme court justice because, according to them, she might not be a woman but in reality what is fema has been a simple question for the 300,000 years humans have existed. it's only in the last decade that idiots have turned it into a trick question on a biology test. why? because they prefer ideology over biology. so there is no way to clearly define what makes someone a woman. i've got an idea to put this debate to rest. ask 100 men off the street. they will define a woman as a human being who has a nurturing side who can be emotionally strong as a ball, who will always have your back forever, and maybe the most beautiful creatures on earth, but who can't parallel park. a sexist would say but this is working with say today is screwed out. the i

marsha blackburn will be in concord, new hampshire headlining the annual gop reagan dinner. the un security council discusses allegations of ukraine. you can also find everything streaming live or on the free video app c-span now. the house passed a bill to suspend normal tribulations. that bill now goes to the senate. here comes the house debate. it runs about 40 minutes. quite the congress heard directly from the ukrainian president zelensky. the absolute horrors that russia is inflicting on the ukrainian people in full view of the world. and he pleaded for us to do more. with the legislation that stands before us at this hour, we intend to answer his call. ranking member brady and have been united in our desire to end normal trade relations with russia, and i must say that mr. brady has been very consistent as we discussed this legislation. with the house passage of h.r. 7108 today, we will take that impactful step and place even greater economic pressure on putin and his brutal regime. we must do everything in our power to hold russia accountable for the atrocities it is

blackburn and set the senator on fire. that story is out there. your quick reaction on that? >> it is interesting parents are domestic terrorists and officials are advocating violence. school board members should model behavior for the rest of the community. this is disappointing but not out of character of national school boards. elizabeth: governor desantis is really going after disney of the they say they only oppose florida's new parental rights law after the woke mob came after disney. governor deis tis talking about hypocrisy here. >> especially tucker, you have to wonder why the hill toe die on to have trans genderrism injected into kindergarten classrooms or woke gender ideology injected into second grade classroom, why is that the hill to die on? meanwhile if we had done a bill that prohibited talking about the abuse of uyghurs in china, disney would have supported that legislation because they don't want to say a word about that. this fill is about providing protections so they know they can send their young kids

on another note you have senator marsha blackburn with a viral moment of the week. >> can you provide a definition for the word woman? >> can i provide a definition? no. i can't. >> you can't? >> not in this context i'm not a biologist. >> i'm not a biologist. i spoke to a biologist is morning to confirm i am still a woman. [laughter] i'm just saying. this judge was nominated on the basis of her sex. biden nominated her because she was a woman. take a stance for women. as a woman i'm offended that she doesn't know who i am. who she is, and who all women are. at this amazing historical context is not only for a black woman but a woman to be nominated to the supreme court. for my intents and purposes has insulted all women across the country. >> totally. meanwhile president biden knew what a woman was back on the camping in 2020. watch. >> we talked about the supreme court. i'm looking forward to making sure is a black woman on the supreme court. i'm committed that if i'm elected a president all have the opportunity to appoint somebody to the courts i will appoint the first black woman

the last senator in that super cut tennessee republican marsha blackburn attempted to extol virtues of american democracy last week tweeting the constitution grants us rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness not abortions. problem is that phrase life liberty and pursuit of happiness appears in the declaration of independence. not the constitution. blackburn should know that and should have deleted that three scores and seven years ago. last time we checked still up on her twitter account. senate sasse may be voting against, but offered up candor suggested some in his own party are concernsing a scoring points and lining up their next tv interview. gop's primary attack, soft on crime and out of steps with their views on the constitution. con that's that with the party's new total silence officer revelation the wife of clarence tons ginni thomas, e texting with this white house chief of stat mark meadows aboutdonald t the quest to overturn election results. ginni thomas texted, help this great president stand firm. leader with him standinging a america many governance at the pre

there could also be more contentious questioning when senator marsha blackburn is up. and this has been a long day. in fact, 12 hours and counting including a few breaks in between. and it's bee

. >> marsha blackburn delivered of the keynote address at the lincoln dinner and -- in new hampshire. she was introduced by governor sununu.

the problem has been, only marsha blackburn and ted cruz really seem to have gotten the memo and are staying on this point. the rest of the senators appear to be departing from the talking points for really good reasons. it's really ugly. it looked like i saw ted cruz commit a hate crime, it was mccarthyism at its worst. insinuating that because she was on this georgetown day school board, that she's responsible for every little thing in every book that is being written there. spoiler alert, judge jackson is not going to the supreme court to call babies racist. but ted cruz wants to gin up white grievance ahead of the midterm. and it was disgusting and ugly to watch. >> that's your strong take on it. and the entire obsession with what is fundamentally a graduate education pedagogy, a somewhat obscure part of academics, thrown at her as if it was relevant. and it has something to do with the race of the nominee, which should be out of bounds. and she's a sitting judge. if you want to talk about civil rights law, or affirmative action, some of those issues, it would be more substantive

senators marsha blackburn and josh hawley were like, "you lost us at 'kentaji.'" [ laughter ] this is josh hawley. this guy, what a creep this guy is. he's senator from missouri, spent much of his 30 allotted minutes reading a list of child porn videos from a case the judge worked on -- he did, that's not a joke. [ laughter ] he's trying to, like, throw meat to these q-anuts and also smear a woman who's a mother of two daughters and quite clearly is not pro-child porn. here's josh hawley share an elbow bump with matt gaetz, a fine, upstanding american who innocently venmos teenage girls because he's nice is why he does that. [ laughter ] but despite the gratuitous attacks, judge jackson has been very cool under pressure. they don't have anything real to criticize, so they've been trying to portray her as being soft on crime. which is interesting because she has been endorsed by both the international association of police chiefs and the fraternal order of police. and the band, the police. even sting is in her corner. [ laughter ] it is funny listening to the same people who let the pr

senator marsha blackburn says president is giving up the biggest bargain chip against evil. let's watch the president last fall seeming to give in to russia on oil purchases, watch this, right when putin was ramping it up president but i do think the idea that russia, saudi arabia, other major producers will not pump more oil so that people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is, is, is not, is not right. elizabeth: he is saying russia ramp it up with oil, right, right when putin was ramping it up. >> of course he is going to because that is how putin makes a lot of money. again right now, the president sitting in the white house could solve this problem not only against the russians and sanction them but for the american people. open up the keystone pipeline, allow for the domestic production of oil on federal lands. there is a whole litany of things he can do to rely on as he said last night, american-made products. how about oil being number one of those and sanction russian oil. why in the world would we be using american oil instead of importing russ

senator marsha blackburn o tennessee is now questioning judge ketanji brown-jackson. if you don't mind staying with me let's listen >> she's a mom and grandma, an she is - this is a question that is important to her, to look at life and senator feinstein talked about that issue with you little earlier today you've also said today that it would be an appropriate for yo to show your views on politica issues or issues that ma become - may come before the court, lik abortion but i want to go to you on something you said when yo were in private practice you made your views on pro-lif and the pro-life movement very clear. in fact, you attacked pro-life women. and this was in a brief that you wrote. you described them, and i am quoting, hostile, noisy crow of in your face protesters end quote. and you advocated against thes women's first amendment righ to express their sincerely hel views regarding the sanctity o each individual live i'm a pro-life woman 79% of the american wome support restrictions of some type on abortion and so, i find it incredibly concerning that someon
