democrats go to to win elections this fall? paul: dan, one of the things you re seeing in the press now is just the beginning of even the liberal press washington post, others, new york times saying, hmm, maybe the progressives, maybe the squad, maybe a work c and all of the aoc and all of their issues, that s not working too well. i guess the question ill ask them is, hey, where were you a year ago or two years ago when some of us were saying that s a dumb idea? if those aren t going to work? do you think they re finally figuring out, the democratic party, that going as far left as they have was a mistake, and they distance themself from it enough between now and november? well, that s the question. one of my favorite sayings is about being a day late and a dollar short, and i think that s where the democrats are right now. a lot of us who have been raising these issues and trying to simply do it in a
and a little disappointed because they know the troops won t becoming and feel like it s a day late and a dollar short. joy? appreciate both of you. thank you both very much. joining me is deputy national security advisor for international economics. let me go ahead and ask you that question matt bradley brought up. the sense among people inside of ukraine that these sanctions are good. walk us through why now. ukrainian leverage to be shared with european allies and allies across the world. if you impose come at a cost and

angle is essentially a hologram. he is not an active president defending our interest here, le alone the president of the world . i think going down that road is kind of ridiculous at this point . what he could do is just sto engaging and half measures that are a day late and a dollar short break last week he came i and gave hst speech about how w were going to ban the import of oil into america, we are still importing russian oil. they had a month and a half lon line down here and we re sendin on average 20 millions of dollars a day to russia s war machine. this goes back for months, you have president biden who has continually been a day late and a dollar short, whether dragged along by the bravery and the college date ukrainian army has displayed and frankly by member of congress and both parties, today they announced they transfer of $800 million of
