i think that message is likely coming across. and, number two, it provides real, what prosecutors call, consciousness of guilt evidence am if you don t think you re doing anything wrong you don t try to reach out to witnesses who are talking about what you did. all of this evidence they re putting in about people speaking to hutchinson telling her to stay loyal, stay on the tream, even to a low level staffer from trump itself suggests they know something they did was bad. the next hearing is going to focus on the 187 minutes from when the president left the stage at the ellipse until he made the rose guarden video. what the president did and didn t do within that amount of time. before then i think it s important to look at all that has been learned to this point. you ve highlighted a few of what you think are the big takeaways for us starting with this call you were just speaking about that we ve just discussed and confirmation that people asked for pardons. let me remind folks, let
west, but the united states and nato are not responding to that. but what we are determined to do is to help ukraine defend its own territory, maintain its territorial integrity, and be politically independent. that s our obligation under the united nations charter and the obligation that the united states is fulfilling. the russian spokesman that responded already to this announcement, probably not surprisingly, and the way the kremlin spokesperson put it was that the u.s. is purposefully and diligently adding fuel to the fire. this is one thing that president biden kind of clearly wanted to address in his opinion piece announcing these new weapons because they re very clearly trying to say that they re not trying to, as you re talking about, provoke russia. let me read what he wrote in part to the opinion piece. we do not seek war with nato and russia. as much as i disagree with mr. putin, and find his actions an outrage, the united states will not try to bring about his ouster in

i think we re going to clear the press first. you were just listening live to president biden addressing the nation s governors in what has become a weekly call during the pandemic. i think this is the first time president biden joined in on this call. let s talk more about what he had to say with cnn s john harwood joining us live if the white house. john, we heard president biden kind of lay out what he s doing to support these states when it comes to the rising hospitalization rates, of course vaccinations, but also testing. and we heard there from aisah hu asa hutchinson, saying it s challenging when it comes to access not just testing at these sites where it s free but also
