state antony blinken and russia putin expert. and one-on-one with hillary clinton. to let an autocrat do what putin decided to do is something that everybody has a stake in trying to stop. i ll talk to the former seth of state about putin, the war, and the democrats midterm head winds. and the democrats look at a policy that limited immigration. every day it is more and more difficult for the administration s claim that they re entitled whatsoever. and donald trump asked putin for information on president biden s son hunter. i would think pute wouldn t know the answer to that. i think we should see. why is the former president again asking for help from a man waging war on an ally? joining me from insider analysis are amy walter editor and chief and publisher of the
of us as president biden said recently this could go on for some time and how much death and destruction russia meets in the meantime. are we going to help ukraine reinforce the central and western part of the country, reinforce kyiv so ha essentially the russians don t even think about coming back? chuck, we re doing that every single day. just over the course of this administration, we provided more than $2.3 billion in security assistance in the last month alone, $1.6 billion, the very kinds of things that have made ukrainians incredibly effective in dealing with this russian onslaught in pushing about t-back and setting it back. look, what we ve already seen is a strategic setback and maybe even defeat for russia. . russia had three goal, to subjugate ukraine s will to deny its sovereignty and independence, to assert russian power, and to divide the west, divide the alliance, and on all three fronts it s failed. ukraine is more united. its sovereign independent
still hand wringing going on. from my perspective, president biden is doing a very good job, i think his handling of ukraine, passing the american rescue package, the huge infrastructure package, i m not quite sure what the disconnect is, between the accomplishments of the administration, and this congress, and the understanding of what s been done, and the impact it will have on the american public, and some of the, you know, the polling and the ongoing hand wringing, i ve always thought that the best politics is doing the best job you can do, and there s a lot that democrats can talk about this in upcoming midterms. i m well aware that midterms are obviously always difficult for the party in power. but we ve got a great story to tell. and we need to get out there and do a better job of telling it. and for those who say it hasn t gone far enough, that s always the chorus in democratic party politics. but i would add that in republican party politics, you
president from another administration coming back. like they can t talk about the situation or how they re going to solve it. and that tells you why this is going to be 2006. i agree with that because amy i think the fascinating thing about our poll is, people are not happy with biden but they re not saying give me trump, they disaggregated trump from the gop more than the democrats would like to see it. and the other fundamental challenge is that people voted against donald trump more than they voted for biden. and that has been the problem for democrats all along. they have been the party of who we aren t, not the party of who we are. and trump can t talk about problems. he s got to do a better job of branding especially with young people. we will stop it right there. that s all we have for today. thank you for watching. we ll be back next week. because if it s sunday, it s meet the press. week, because
impacting public opinion, particularly in the last decade or so, both in the united states and in europe. and this was largely stymied by releasing that intelligence. i think a lot of lessons have been learned, but there is a lot of good accomplishments to be putting up on the board, and the democrats in office and out need to be doing a better job of making the case. and, frankly, standing up to the other side with their craziness and their calls for impunity and nuttiness that we hear coming from them, i don t think the average american, frankly, wants to be governed by people who live in a totally different reality. former secretary of state hillary clinton, really appreciate you coming on, sharing your perspective with us. it was good to hear from you. thanks. when we come back, immigration at the southern border has been a big political problem for president biden. is it about to get worse? the panel is next.
