but i think the key factor that is always appeared may be elusive is proving donald trump's intent. that he knew that what he was saying was fraudulent when he was telling mike pence, you should change the outcome of the election. that he knew that was based on a lie and based on fraud. they document all the ways that he knew that this was false. number one, his own cybersecurity chief and department of homeland security said so publicly. william barr, his attorney general, said so publicly. the director of the office of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, his appointee, said so publicly. successors out the justice department said repeatedly there was no fraud. he had an internal campaign memo for the trump campaign that concluded, there was no fraud. and 61 out of 62 judges all the court cases that were filed across the country, found that there is no fraud. the one case that the trump campaign one was on an unrelated issue related to affidavits. all of that evidence amounts to suggest that donald trump absolutely knew that there was no fraud here. in fact, one judge said, there

this is part of problem of donald trump. we kind of run out of words to describe what he is doing and of course it's disgusting but it's much worse than that. it is a fundamental betrayal of the country and it is dangerous. it is dangerous because he is the odds-on favorite to be the republican nominee for president again. he is sending a message to vladimir putin that we are not united, that perhaps he could wait out our national resolve, and it was a betrayal because the way that trump put it was, well, putin might actually give me this dirt on joe biden because he doesn't like this country. he made it very clear that putin might do it because he would want to damage the united states, and again, we have done this so often over the last five years, sort of take a deep breath and say, okay, this is not normal. this is outrageous. but i think we need to understand how dangerous it is at a time of war, and katty is absolutely right, we sometimes tell ourselves these kumbaya stories. we think it's a movie that has a happy endi

donald trump was the first iteration of that. what i fear is that his use of xenophobia and his use of are the rising -- other-izing minorities will be taken to the next level. that is something we have to nip in the bud however we can. we have to make government functional again for everybody. it used to be that in this country, they had a military draft and everyone would have a common experience of the military draft and learned about each other and diversity and so forth. we do not have that now. we are siloing further and further. we have to do whatever we can to bring shared experiences again. a shared common understanding of our joint aspirations. to me, it is getting everyone on the economic ladder climbing upwards, regardless of who you are. that means everyone, regardless of the color of your skin, how you pray, how many letters in your name. that is what i think we have to get back to, asap. >> congressman, does your research so you anything regarding that? >> in line with that, the key thing that has happened with the

now he has an ally in donald trump, which is incredibly important. volodymyr putin does not have soft power to pressure foreign policy, aside from gas and oil. that could be very influential, it is not the same kind of soft power that the u.s., nato, others can yield in parts of the world. trump becomes prudence soft power. we see a play out in all sorts of ways, pushing montenegro out of the way at a nato meeting. repeating the russian line about montenegro starting world war iii by joining the event. >> montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people. >> or albania. >> they are very strong people, very aggressive people. they may get aggressive. congratulations, your and world war iii. >> that was trump repeating moscow's position, basically verbatim, just like the way trump would work to diligent the delegitimized nato as a deadbeat alliance. >> i went to nato where we were being ripped off because the other countries, you have 29 countries, the other countries weren't paying their bills. they were delinquent. i noticed people were using that

right now— down donald trump. anthony, stay with us. right now i _ down donald trump. anthony, stay with us. right now i want _ down donald trump. anthony, stay with us. right now i want to - down donald trump. anthony, stay with us. right now i want to talk i with us. right now i want to talk about house prices. for years we have been told that it's only a matter of time until the bubble bursts — that prices plummet, that house prices become more affordable. but year on year they continue to rise. here in the uk, the latest data from nationwide today revealed that the average price of a home rose by 14.3% over the last year — the biggest annual rate of growth in more than 17 years. and it's a similar situation in the us. the average house price went up 17% last year, the strongest annual rise in at least two decades — and is expected to rise a further 10% this year. on average, a house in the uk now costs almost $350,000. in the us, it's around $375,000. josh ryan—collins is head of finance and macroeconomics at the ucl institute for innovation and public purp

but when i'm saying, is donald trump the titular head of the party? i bet moe blocks probably have some opinions on that, after the last couple of weeks. the reality is this. most americans recognize the unique role that we have in the rest of the world. this is something i get into in my book. the talk about the fact that our friends should love us, and our enemies should fear ice. when you have vladimir putin saying good things about you, that's probably not the place you want to be in. so that's where we should be going to focus on. and the reality is, when me and my colleagues believe that way, most voters believe that way. and when we get more leaders that inspired, i think we're gonna be better off. that's why, 73% of americans are upset or scared with the country direction. >> this isn't just a book tour. when you talk about all these americans you're talking to, are you running for president in 2024 as a republican? >> i always said, if i had the opportunity to serve my country again, all evaluate it. the way i'm serving my country now is putt

what was that like when adam schiff reads to you donald trump. he says murray evanovich is a disaster everywhere. she's been right. he talks about like that is if you personally running the motor pool at the us embassy in mogadishu had personally ruined somalia. what's it like when adam schiff is reading you that to me? yeah, well, so it was a complete surprise obviously to me. i had no idea what was coming and you know when first he announced that he was going to do this understandably. and so there's then there's the anticipation. i mean, what's he gonna say? what's he gonna what is he going to say? what could he say and then the actual tweet itself as you just recounted was ridiculous. it was absolutely ridiculous. and so, you know trying to compose my face, although when i looked back at the video that was played that night of me listening to adam schiff recounting this i mean all of my emotions were there for everybody to see including frankly a little bit of contempt because my eyes rolled i just i couldn't believe that the president of the

trump. who's a law professor in california, was sending to donald trump. and the january 6 investigatory committee in congress wanted to get its hands on these e—mails, to see what eastman was saying about ways to challenge the election results. eastman said he didn't want to share them. he was citing attorney—client privilege, which usually protects communications between an attorney and his client. but that protection doesn't hold up if the discussions are in furtherance of a crime, and what the judge looked at here was at one e—mail in particular. he said that that attorney—client privilege is punctured because it was in furtherance of a crime and it was more likely than not that, in this instance, donald trump and eastman were conspiring to commit a crime, a violation of federal law in challenging the election results. so that was the specific finding here. it's not going to lead donald trump to be indicted necessarily, but it is a judge who is looking at the evidence and saying, "you know, there's a chance that donald trump committed a crime."

and a new judicial ruling against donald trump. so we will go more in depth on that right now. death was recently spared, you may recall, in the criminal probe into his business in new york. the d.a. here pausing the whole thing. now totally separate issue, not business, but democracy. a judge is bearing down on donald trump's potential criminal liability for election crimes finding it is likely that donald trump corruptly attempted to obstruct congress on january 6th with a plan that was obviously illegal. if that judge is right, why would donald trump be motivated to hide and obstruct the truth about what happened that day? well, there is evidence that donald trump and his top aides could be tied to other illegal parts of january 6th. in other words, we all know there were things that are legal like giving a speech, even if you lie in it, and things that are illegal, people in trouble fortress as passing, battery, sedition. but no one in the trump white house has been charged with that kind of stuff. what we are talking about goes beyond the rallies or election certification.

you think that's one of the reasons that republicans like donald trump so much. >> no. i think some republicans did, but i think, i think most of his base actually felt that he was of frequently excessive, and they wanted him to tone it back. and i talked to him several times about that, and i said, you know, when i go out in the country, i have yet to meet anybody who's come up to me from his base and hasn't said would you, please, tell the president to tone it down a little bit? if so i think a lot of his support was despite his pettiness and flaws, not because of it. howard: you had all a these confrontations with trump and you lay out, for example, you say, dammit, mr. president, i am not going to talk to you about hunter biden, period. was it us from freighting to -- frustrating to stay quiet about such matters while the press portrayed you as a lackey? >> it was a little frustrating, but life is unfair, so i didn't expect much different. i learned when when you're a republican, this town is unfair. there's a double standard. the media has a double standard. it's g

donald trump didn't take it. of course, one of the reasons we even note about that phone call is because of national security official named alexander vindman, he was listening to it live, he knew it was wrong. he knew -- and reported it up his chain of command and testified to the united states congress hearing on the impeachment of donald trump. joining us now is alexander vindman, he was a ukraine expert on the national security council and a witness to president trump's impeachment hearings. it's an honor to have you back with us. in your book, titled here right matters, you detail this specific matter, the fact that you had provided -- you and your cohorts at the white house and the national security council, have provided guidance and advice that president trump was supposed to have red and taken to say, you need to do very little for ukraine right now, the congressional aide had already been approved and was on his way to ukraine. all you need to do is show this man support so that he can stand up against

trump and adolf hitler and praised donald trump for being compared to adolf hitler. and, the resolution to expel marjorie taylor greene was introduced before marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert decided to attend the state of the union address so that they could heckle the president. and they didn't stop tackling the president even when he was speaking about soldiers, like his son, who may have developed cancer by being overly exposed to the toxins produced by military burn pits in iraq and afghanistan now. >> a cancer that would put them in a flag draped coffin. i know what -- one of those soldiers was my son, major beau biden. >> when president biden mentioned flag draped coffins, lauren boebert yelled, you put them in 13 of them. she was apparently referring to soldiers killed in the evacuation of afghanistan. after the japanese attack of pearl harbor on december 7th 1941, no one in congress heckled president franklin roosevelt when he spoke to an emergency seven session of the full congress the day after pearl harbor, where 2403 members of the american milit

they could not even successfully impeached donald trump after donald trump cheered on an attack on the capitol. i am pessimistic anything is going to happen to justice thomas. but again, if his wife has an interest in a case, that is the classic case of where you need to recuse. you cannot sit on a case that you have any interest in, you cannot sit on a case where your immediate family members have a direct interest. amy: and ian, isn't it true in this case where clarence thomas was the only dissenter, he did not want to obligate donald trump to send over these documents? that is where the emails were discovered of his wife. i mean, there is a suggestion that he wanted to cover that up. >> so my understanding is that the text messages that we know about between ginni thomas and mark meadows came from a different tranche. i believe mark meadows voluntarily turned them over to the committee. he documents the committee sought from the trump white house, trump sued to try to block them, and i don't think we know what is inhose documents yet. i am sure the january 6 committee will get aroun

let me go back to just some of the people donald trump has acknowledged he did speak with. it's a long list. it steve bannon, the people you expect. rudy giuliani, sean hannity, sorry, kayleigh mcenany. would this be a case where the justice department would go down this list of people that they know donald trump did speak with and try to back fill and figure and get their phone records? how would you go back and piece together who he spoke with. this is people we know he spoke with. we don't know if there were any other lawmakers he spoke with. there were stories that talked about ted cruz' involvement. ted cruz and josh hawley were involved in objecting to th john eastman's plan and following the playbook. there is so much that's circumstance, trump's aides knew what was happening and mark meadows and clearance thomas' wife knew what was happening. they have the same information. i don't see how everyone could have come to the same idea how to steal the election and not talk to each other. is there any way that a prosecutor can look at that set of facts that all these sen

vance, donald trump himself, mike flynn, laura ingraham, madison cawthorn, and steve bannon. they look marjorie taylor greene out, and has been singing from the same look. what do you make of this? >> a few months later, kevin mccarthy said, would you vote for, and support madison cawthorn for reelection and he said, yes. so, what you have is a party that is split. the pro putin, or anti putin wing of the party. there is four or 5% of the republican party right now. i can't even remember a time when the maga world was so badly out of step with, not just elected republicans, but the republican base. what is important to remember, is that four or 5% have, very loud megaphone's, and they have a tremendous impact, which is why they are regularly featured on russian state tv propaganda. let him or putin is watching tucker carlson, madison cawthorn, and marjorie taylor greene. they are thinking, this reflects what is close to the former president, and maybe a future president of the united states. keep in mind, the entertainment wing of the republican party is the dominant one. the

trump and adolf hitler and praised donald trump for being compared to adolf hitler. and, the resolution to expel marjorie taylor greene was introduced before marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert decided to attend the state of the union address so that they could heckle the president. and they didn't stop tackling the president even when he was speaking about soldiers, like his son, who may have developed cancer by being overly exposed to the toxins produced by military burn pits in iraq and afghanistan now. >> a cancer that would put them in a flag draped coffin. i know what -- one of those soldiers was my son, major beau biden. >> when president biden mentioned flag draped coffins, lauren boebert yelled, you put them in 13 of them. she was apparently referring to soldiers killed in the evacuation of afghanistan. after the japanese attack of pearl harbor on december 7th 1941, no one in congress heckled president franklin roosevelt when he spoke to an emergency seven session of the full congress the day after pearl harbor, where 2403 members of the american milit

and donald trump adopting much of what fox says. and people believing it. and so, it's not just that they're saying, it's biden's fault. that guy's prices are high. and it hasn't hurt as much as they would like it to because most people in america are saying, we need to support the ukrainian people. they are brave in fighting this. they are doing the right thing. and frankly, they are the only thing between the loss of democracy, not just in their country, but i do not believe, based on history, based on current events, that putin will stop at the border of ukraine. i don't know what is next target will be, but i predict, moldova, which is not a nato country, and is immediately adjacent. i would say he has threatened sweden and england, which are not nato members. and then, poland, which is very much afraid that they will be next, because they used to be part of russia. and he will go after them. and this idea that donald trump supports a land grab, it is a real estate deal. it's a transaction to him. he does not understand democracy or protecting democracy

this is a lot of donald trump talk and not just donald trump talk. every american president talks about buying american and doing more. and american rebuilding american putting america 1st. donald trump used very inflammatory rhetoric that joe biden doesn't uses a different style. but it's still very much the same. a content about putting america 1st, putting american jobs 1st, american manufacturers 1st. it's a bit naive because of course we do live in a globalized society, global i decided the, i say it's very proud to say that they built right. we made this global rules based order where people can trade freely, read each other and buy from each other and compete with each other as, as a bit of a contradiction to say, we're going to bring it all back home. and it's also been impossible because of course, resources come from everywhere. parts come from everywhere, may be finished products to be built more in america. but again to on, to on, on micro chips alone, the majority of them are made in taiwan. and all these things that bind was promising w

donald trump's policies, maybe you didn't like his tweets. but his policies of peace through strength, free and fair trade deals, less bureaucracy, secure borders, energy independence. we could use a lot of that right now. dr. oz, i'm wishing you well on the senate campaign. i'm a big supporter of it. thank you for being with us. straight ahead, more bad polls for biden as the energy crisis is waiting on. we'll bring you the latest. sarah palin, she'll join us. is she making her political comeback? she's next as we continue. all of this is humanitarian aid that the fellowship is sending from israel directly into ukraine. food, medicine, warm clothing is needed now! lives abruptly changed... look at all of these people and there are hundreds and thousands more. we're called to step into this crisis... this inhumanity. the international fellowship of christians and jews needs your $45 gift now to help rush food, blankets and shelter to jewish refugees fleeing for lives in ukraine. please give as generously as you can, to help the refugees while

yeah and donald trump. can you give us that 60 second 90 second explanation when nobody else would loan money to donald because he publicly said i borrowed money knowing i did intend to pay it back imagine saying that to your banker. deutsche bank kept making loans to him. well, there's something in banking called a back-to-back loan. so i want the bank to loan one of my grown children money for a business venture, but i could get loan them the money, but then it's family difficulties. so i go to my banker and i say listen, i'm gonna deposit a million dollars with you or give you a letter of credit for a million dollars loan the million dollars to my kid if he doesn't pay it you're guaranteed you'll get paid off. there's very good reason to think there were russians on the other side of these deals deutsche bank has already paid over 600 million dollars in fines for laundering russian criminal money. the head of that bank when he was forced out and disgrace went to the bank of cyprus the most notorious russ

but when i'm saying, is donald trump the titular head of the party? i bet moe blocks probably have some opinions on that, after the last couple of weeks. the reality is this. most americans recognize the unique role that we have in the rest of the world. this is something i get into in my book. the talk about the fact that our friends should love us, and our enemies should fear ice. when you have vladimir putin saying good things about you, that's probably not the place you want to be in. so that's where we should be going to focus on. and the reality is, when me and my colleagues believe that way, most voters believe that way. and when we get more leaders that inspired, i think we're gonna be better off. that's why, 73% of americans are upset or scared with the country direction. >> this isn't just a book tour. when you talk about all these americans you're talking to, are you running for president in 2024 as a republican? >> i always said, if i had the opportunity to serve my country again, all evaluate it. the way i'm serving my country now is putt

but on donald trump, it is -- look, if you are not a fan of donald trump, the interview is going to frustrate you. if you are a fan of donald trump, the interview is going to frustrate you. the point is that the former attorney general is walking a line that many of these former trump officials who are troubled by what they saw, but maybe are fearful of being used as a political wedge by the left for whatever reason, still want to try to, like, defend the motivation or explain away the motivation. i'll tell you this, i'll leave this little tease, i asked the former top prosecutor in america what he thought of president trump's phone call with georgia election officials. his answer is fascinating. i'm going to steal this and say, i'm teasing it. you've got to wait to hear the answer. but it was a fascinating answer by the former attorney general. >> why are you doing that to me? that means i'm going to have to stick around and watch. >> you have to watch. cheryl, darn it, you have to watch. >> i do. thanks for joining us, chuck. be sure to join chuck this morning on "meet the press." he'll hav

and declared donald trump the winner. in this race, it aims to obstruct and interfere with the proper functioning of the united states government. again, tonight, let's be clear about this. the january six investigation went to court to say that donald trump's lawyer cannot claim attorney client privilege for his communication, because he, and trump, and others on his campaign, were engaged in crimes! joining us is former eunice attorney for -- barbara mcclain. she published a -- for his claim to pressure mike pence returning over the election. and apparently, the two crimes that she thought may have been committed, are the two crimes that the january six investigation names in this crime tonight. conspiracy to defraud the united states, and obstruction of an official proceeding. thank you for joining us. as the person who kind of, you know, predicted that this might be the statutes that trump violated. what is your reactions here this filing? and how significant is it? >> i think it is a very significant filing because i

he was about to get sucked right into the middle of donald trump's extortion scheme. and marie ivanovich, the veteran ambassador, who was such a staunch ally of ukraine and its fight against russia and corruption would not be there to back him up. a few months later, yovanovitch was called to testify at donald trump's impeachment hearings. stify >> how could our system fl like this? how is it that foreign, corrupt interests could manipulate our government? which country's interests are served when the very corrupt behavior we are criticizing is allowed to prevail? such conduct undermines the united states, exposes our friends and why didn't the playing field for autocrats like president putin. our leadership depends on the power of our example and the consistency of our purpose. both have now been open to question. >> such conduct exposes our friends and why didn't the playing field for autocrats like president putin, and quote. well, now that we are, here two weeks into putin's brutal, all out war on ukraine, it is hard not to wonder just how much that shameful chapt

was january 6th if not donald trump's ukraine? and what is ukraine if not vladimir putin's january 6th? attempt of autocrats to say they are going to run and control anything that they want. >> the line between the two is not even dotted, it is quite solid and clear. we have some earlier reporting that indicated that there was some disagreement on the committee when it came to the issue of asking judy thomas to come in and testify. i know you got out of a closed-door meeting on this topic. i don't know what you can tell me about it. but have the differences on the committee been resolved? >> i really can't say anything about an individual case. i will just say, i know that the media is very hungry to know about the next witnesses and so on. and that is good. i want people to pay attention. but we have interviewed more than 750 people. we are likely to see, i don't know, 100 more before it's all over. so, we have a lot of different balls in the air. and i know everybody thinks we are focused on one person, but we are not. we are de

trump being donald trump should be acknowledged. it's dangerous. potential 2024 nominee. we can't ignore it. the fact that a republican senator would say, like, yeah, that makes sense to me, in the midst of, we haven't even talked about, in the midst of russia's invasion of ukraine, led, engineered by vladimir putin. that strikes me as even more concerning because it's yet more evidence that the republican party is just going to what donald trump says or does, outside of the norm of political thinking. >> what putin says. >> right, and we know too, speaking of what putin says, we know too some of these comments, right, are being picked up and used by russian state media. and that doesn't really seem to generate the concern that you would hope it would, chris. >> no, erica. i think part of the problem there is that this is a party that is beholden and in many cases, afraid of its own base. this party is afraid that the republican base would turn the way he did against jeff flake and a number of people, adam kinzinger and those who sp

deny, as luke says, that that's what he asked for. >> donald trump is being donald trump. the man who thinks he can decide what the law is and what the constitution says and that it's designed for him and for him personally. i mean, frankly, he has -- >> but legally, what are the implications? if that could be shown to be true or if he just goes and admits it? >> well, what he is doing is demonstrating the very thing, the very crimes that, frankly, are coming up in the january 6th committee. to defraud the united states and, you know, what frankly is sedition. i mean, he's actively trying to get himself installed as president of the united states, and you know, what this also does in terms of linking to the january 6th committee is that the very behaviors that they're trying to understand and demonstrate whether or not they were intentional, that donald trump is continuing to do the very thing intentionally. i mean, the -- what mo brooks is describing is, i know what i am asking for, and i'm asking for it anyway. and i will punish you if you do not do it. i mean, that is e

evidence and saying, "you know, there's a chance that donald trump committed a crime." now on bbc news: it's time for the travel show. coming up on this week's show:. on thin ice in the alps. if we see something, it's not as we wish, then we either shorten the race or we cancel the races. the best kid for a covid—free break. admittedly, i do feel a bit silly doing this, but i know how effective uvc light is, so i'd like to think it's working. and eating our way around azerbaijan. that is so creamy. it's really delicious. we're starting this week 1800 metres above sea level, in the shadow of an alpine valley. this is st moritz, in the swiss alps — it's the place, so they say, where the concept of the winter holiday was born. it also occupies a unique place in sporting history — it's where the bobsleigh was created. but skijoring is an even stranger sporting event than that. the race is a wild mix of horses, skiing, all done over this frozen lake. the white turf event has happened every year since 1907, pausing only for covid in 2021. it sees three days of racing on

a gathering in washington of republicans who oppose former president donald trump. this is t principles summit in washington, d.c. [applause] >> thank you and it is a pleasure to be here. i have got to say it has exceeded my expectations and maybe we should all have a moment of applause for heath and his team. [applause] >> really, for all of you who have come from quite far, but it has been inspiring for me to see you all and talk with joseph and you out there at the halls. we talked this morning, and this was -- the horrible one was the white supremacist people in florida, and this comes as a contrasting industry, and that first came out well. we mentioned some of the speakers and panels, and we got great response in the hall. meanwhile, kristol was socializing in the lobby. that is my role and my role in this panel is to moderate each of my panelists, we will have a little back and forth, and we will keep this basics to be on time. my colleagues know that there will be no interruptions since this is late. people always say that when they introduce you. eight minu

what we saw for years and years of donald trump being putin's puppet. so it's -- i don't know what else to say other than that democrats need to take advantage of this and flip the script on them politically because republicans have dominated the national security space for so long. but they have advocated that moral high ground by supporting donald trump for all those years and still continuing to embrace it even after he called putin a genius and savvy and continues to play footsy with putin while putin is killing innocent children. democrats need to use this to their advantage and turn it around on republicans and make people see either you are on the side of democracy or you're not. there is no middle ground here. >> joel, tara brought up madison cawthorn. i have a clip of him i want to play followed by lindsey graham. watch this. ham. watch this. >> like 90% of the country is with the ukrainians and opposed to putin. when you see a member of congress say things like this, the one thing i want you to know they're outliers in the largest sense possib

and declared donald trump the winner. in this way, the conspiracy aim to obstruct and interfere with the proper functioning of the united states government. so again, tonight, let's be clear about this. the january 6th investigation, has gone to court, to say that donald trump's lawyer can claim attorney-client privilege for his communications, because, can't claim it, because he and trump and others on trump's campaign were engaged in crimes. joining us now is former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of michigan barbara mcquade and last week she published a model prosecution memo analyzing charges against trump pressuring mike pence to overturn the election and incredibly the two crimes that she thought may have been commited are the two crimes the january 6th investigation names in this filing tonight. conspiracy to defraud the united states, and obstruction of an official proceeding. barbara great to have you with us. thanks for joining us. and as a person who kind of, you know, using this word here, predicted tha

to donald trump, but they're really trying to put people on defense, to defend donald trump, and no one seems willing to do that, and it's going to be a challenge for republicans given the former president's -- >> this is actually a much longer running among republican circles. if you go back to 2012, you see national organization for marriage with brian brown going to moscow. you see that force a certain realm of the post-liberal traditionalist conservatives, putin made himself a representative of not so much a pro-conservative but an anti-western, anti-western liberal consensus, which is interesting to me, because at no point has russian oligarchy ever represented anything conservative whatsoever. but you see that the russian orthodox church has been talking about how this is all happening because russia doesn't have gay pride parades, and you see the way in which the russian government and the russian establishment has very much used the kind of anti-liberalism of a certain type of conservative against american democracy. >> george, help us understand. you've studied american con

donald e trump's pending before order of donald trump's pending before this supreme cour no, you know, this is the hypocrisy of the left or i look at the double standard and look, ginni thomas sent out a text hunter biden made millions and millions and millions of dollars joe biden liked about knowledge of these four business deals. there is no comparison but the same standards not being son.applied as it relates toie joe and hunter and of hunter'sd last name happened to be trump like yours is that would be an even bigger problem, wouldn'tt it? oh , i couldn't even imagine. >> i couldn't begin to imagine, john, what would happen if his last name was trump. i mean, i think we all know itmp would be a very. different d situation, but i think we neede to take a step back and look atk this january 6th committeeis and be very clear about what this is because this is basically the last ditch attempt for the democrats. this is like their hail mary ata this point and ginni thomas . kes that incredibly clear the democrats have utterly failed the american people. it is because of their policies

did donald trump embolden vladimir putin? >> i think you look at the record of what president trump did in actually bombing russian mercenaries and killing them in syria, the sanctions he put on russians, kicking them out of american embassies. i think the record was a strong one against russia. the reality is the last time they bombed and took crimea was under the biden administration. i think they believe that there's weakness in this administration they did not see during the trump administration. >> the record should show that the president placed a hold on ukraine, $250 million aide and $141 million in aide through the state department. >> and the record should show -- >> the president has called on the biden administration to announce an embargo on russian oil and gas exports. should he do that? >> absolutely. it's an untenable position to say in essence america has doubled its importation of russian oil. you now have $100 plus per barrel. in some way you're funding the fight against ukraine. the biden administration sh

donald trump said, that's genius. donald trump said invading ukraine was genius. wars always kill children. always. when you cheer on a war, as donald trump did, that's what you are cheering for. donald trump hasn't apologize for saying the invasion was genius, and he's never going to feel a thing for those 97 children. and the hundreds more children who vladimir putin plans to kill, vladimir putin knows what war does. he knows what he is doing. he knows who he is killing, and he wants to kill more. 97 children is not enough for vladimir putin who spends his cowardly days trying to hide the truth. from the russian people. today, the leaders of three other countries, demonstrated the kind of bravery that vladimir putin has never, ever had. not one day of his life. they went straight toward the sound of the russian guns. the prime ministers of poland, slovenia, and the czech republic, traveled to kyiv to meet with president zelenskyy. the polish prime minister said in a tweet, it is here, in war torn key, that history is being made. it is here, that freedom fights a

they didn't vote to convict donald trump. so to any criticism lands at the thut for me. >> yes, it is true they did not care at all about zelenskyy, the greater thing to say is they cared only about one thing which was their plea to donald trump. as long as donald trump's skin in the game, they may care about it. that tells you how much they actually cared about it. you know they're in various ways in donald trump's issues. the next week, watch the ways in which republicans are going to play politics on the ukraine, it is already starting to happen now and it is happening on the gas prices and the oil embargo. now we'll beat joe biden for raising gas prices. they tried to get in on this trade relation things and pmtr issued today. republicans we'll start to see a lot of domestic politics creeping. it is going to be pretty cynical. >> the whole thing is cynical. >> of course. i agree with you as i say this. i always do. >> thank you, our time is too short. thank you all, thank you my friend for spending two hours on the table.

donald trump co-opted that phrase. tried to turn it around and now parrotts it all the time about anything that he doesn't like. and so, the parallels between vladimir putin and donald trump are too long for us to discuss on this show but the originator of the disinformation was vladimir putin. he did it in 2014 with ukraine. he has done it since then. and that's ultimately a lot of what led to the first impeachment of donald trump is two bogus allegations that were completely shams. they were not accurate. yet donald trump parrotted them and wanted to use them to benefit himself and the re-election. and so, the parallels have created serious unrest in this country. but it's also created a lesson and i think that the biden administration has done a fabulous job of pulling the sting on the disinformation. of undermining the pretext that vladimir putin was trying to use to invade ukraine. and i think igor made the point so okay rattly. he says he's trying to de-nazi-fy ukraine. are you kidding me? the ukrainian president

the baby killer is smart, according to donald trump. and to explain away why donald trump has always been so friendly with the world's new war criminal, donald trump is now saying, i think he has changed. i think he's changed. it's a very sad thing for the world. he's very much changed. hebut this is the way the vladimir putin has waged war before. and so, no, nothing has changed. he has always been willing to kill anyone and everyone in his line of fire. >> [inaudible] >> oh, he is a war criminal. >> today, vladimir putin called russian protesters against his war, quote, scum and traitors. this week's suddenly most famous russian protester against vladimir putin's war is now understandably living in fear of putin's homicidal war. the protester ran on to the set of the most popular russian tv newscast when vladimir putin was probably watching, holding up her anti-war protests sign. and today in a first interview after being released marina ovsyannikova said she was not sure if you could go through with it and, like other brave protester
