attention to what s happening today? i think the justices would tell you that they try to block out any sort of outside influence, including political influence and whatnot but there s no doubt that certainly there s so much energy right now particularly in the aftermath of a leaked decision. among supporters of abortion rights and what democratic leaders both here in washington and nation wide hope that happens is that energy is translated to action at polls in november. we have critical midterm elections. we also have several critical gubernatorial races and state legislatures at stake. democrats from president biden on down hope that energy really gets to, really bolsters democrats motivation in a year where things are not looking particularly great for the party. does it bolster the opposition? it could. we have known for decades that
donald trump has no knowledge in a specific way about any of his own finances, which of course has no credibility, that statement. but they have said that. and then, a day later he is on social media like yosemite sam yeah, and blowing up his own legal defense. well, as elie said, you know, you said lawyers say to their clients, shut up, don t talk. elie, that s pretty hard for donald trump. not the easiest client. thank you, both. i appreciate it. we have to get to the developing news overseas. thank you, tim. russian troops surrounding ukraine on three sides. dire warnings from president biden on down. what are u.s. military leaders doing to prepare? i am going to ask the former-defense secretary. that is next. our information indicates clearly that these forces, including ground troops, aircraft, ships, are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine in the coming days.
street. but top democrats say it s time for him to go. take one thing at a time here. i think he should resign. because of these allegations, the governor has lost the confidence of his governing partners and of many new yorkers, and he should step down. it s time for him to leave. let the lieutenant governor take over. but, molly, a majority of new yorkers, top democrats, as you heard from biden on down, are calling on cuomo to step aside. can he weather this storm, these calls to resign, an impeachment inquiry and now a criminal complaint? it s getting harder and harder to see how that would happen, just given the sheer volume of things coming at him at this point. there is a feeling, you know, he is notoriously strong-willed, i guess you could say, a difficult and determined politician. and so there is a feeling that he will make this as difficult
allegations laid out in a sweeping investigation by new york s attorney general. now he s facing calls for his resignation from president biden on down. there s also the threat of impeachment, lawsuits, and even a criminal investigation. we will get into all of it just ahead. plus, another reminder that democrats kind of like joe biden, a moderate member of the party just beat a progressive fire brand backed by bernie sanders in ohio, but how did donald trump s candidate do? all that as coronavirus poses new threats to public health. the american economy, and all of those elected leaders who should have the power and prerogative to do something about it. also police officers who responded to the capitol riot are being recognized by the u.s. senate with the congressional gold medal. if senators can t agree on that unanimously, why is the truth
balls right now. and he certainly thinks he has an opportunity for a bipartisan result, in part, on infrastructure. and i don t think he wants to stoke this debate to the partisan level of ten at this moment. so as to get an infrastructure bill? i think he wants an infrastructure bill. i think he needs this to play out in sequence. getting joe manchin on board was a significant thing. the compromise joe manchin laid out was a significant thing. i think as a practical matter, that is the bill for democrats. that s the principal vehicle that they will pursue. the manchin compromise? the manchin compromise. and if in fact that is spurned, as we expect by all republicans, as they spurned the january 6th commission, as they may end up spurning bipartisan infrastructure talks, those become building blocks in a democratic argument that, yes, is messaging, but it could be more than messaging. democrats are going to try party leadership, biden on down, at some point later this year to
