of it s stunning to me. so is it, you know, just delusions of grandeur from bannon and navarro to think that they had it all set up? or is it right that actually, the mob attack on the capitol may have safed the election certification? that was the goal. the goal was for us to not to be able to certify the election. and that s because, jonathan, this is a party that is so disaligned with where americans are. so if we just vote, they re anti-choice, anti-voter, anti-climate, anti-gun safety agenda is not going to work. and so they re shifting now to using violent rhetoric, threats against lawmakers to try and wield power. that s all they have. but they re coming. and if we re not ready, we re going to see when they rule in 2023 that a woman s right to make her own health care decisions, gone.
asimilar mettic special forces cyber-type warfare they were employs in eastern ukraine. this could look like a full-scale land invasion we haven t seen in europe in decades. i think that s why the united states and nato is so set on making these deployments not to go into ukraine with those 8,500 troops but in order to buttress the eastern flank of nato, those countries that either border ukraine or border russia, who just want the reassurance, frankly, that there s additional american personnel there as a signal of our commitment to their defense, not as a signal we ll somehow move those troops into ukraine itself. putin s long-standing ideological position that wrestles between delusions of grandeur and hopes for world domination, peter, you covered the biden administration, but you used to cover putin s rise from moscow. having seen both sides, how tricky of a tight rope is president biden walking despite the fact he has significantly more power? yeah. it is a tricky tight rope
autocrat with delusions of grandeur. and not just because tucker can relate to that. it s because tucker seems to have a thing for autocrats, a strong man fetish. lately he s been fixated on hungary and victor war bonn. last year tucker aired his show from hungary, and now he s back with an interview with orban, who makes clear his disdain for migrants coming into his country. birthrates are declining. that s true in this country as well. it s true in europe. the populations are literally disappearing. most governments ignore this trend or import more citizens from the rest of the world. we would not like to leave this country to the migrants. we would not like to leave this country to the migrants, orban said. sounds familiar if you watch tucker s show and all of his segments demonizing immigrants as, quote, making the u.s.
democracy in ukraine, and we re on the side of democracy. yeah, i guess i m for democracy in other countries, i guess. that was ohio republican congressman mike turner taking tucker to school, trying to explain that the u.s. has historically stood with democracies in europe and against dictators who want to expand their borders by force. you know, because we re the good guys. now, sure, putin is more czar than communist, and he may well be the richest man in russia, the oligarch s oligarch. but don t forget the russian courts have a long track record of jailing opposition leaders like alexei navalny. last september a european human rights court found the kremlin responsible for the 2006 poisoning of a former russian intelligence official who defected to the west. so tucker is clearly standing on the side of a dangerous autocrat with delusions of grandeur and not just because tucker can relate to that. it s because tucker seems to have a thing for autocrats, a strongman fetish.
to talk to them about the agenda, about what they re doing. what do you think of that? i wonder what president biden thinks of that? yeah, i don t know what president obama is doing interfering with capitol hill. i guess joe manchin joe biden is in desperate straits that he needs some sort of help. barack obama wasn t much more successful in getting legislation through. what joe biden needs to do is what he promised to do, which is go to the center. his approval rating is lower than donald trump s. he started being 20 points above water, now he s ten points under water in terms of approval. why? he didn t do what he said he was going to do, unite the country, compromise republicans and democrats and bring them together. the worst thing that happened to him is he won the two senate seats in georgia. it gave them delusions of
