violence, yet again. and at what point are you mike pence, and do you finally take a step back and say what is the better thing for our democracy? what do i want my legacy to be? i i m aiming for that oval office. and the odds of me getting there are actually not that great. but what i can do is actually make a difference for our country, and try to steer us in a different direction because donald trump does not care about the republican party, nor does he care about you and me or any other americans, nor his supporters. that is who he is. he may say that he will pardon these people in these speeches, and he will speak on behalf of the insurrectionists but the fact is that he has no connection to the people that follow him. he doesn t care. he cares about himself. and so, that is the role i think that mike pence could play. he could really start to set the record straight, and start to stand with people like liz cheney and adam kinzinger. and really, that is where you make a differen
if you don t prepare, talk about things like ted lasso and not deadly pandemic stuff because people will die. he doesn t seem to care. i don t think he s as sinister as the foxers. he doesn t care. he s getting his paycheck. he s getting paid. let s move to lauren boebert. your thoughts? i think that is unfair to require member of congress and the constitution, joy, she s freezing with her bigotry. she s busy with inciting the january 6th terror attack and getting arrested by the cops, we talked about her mug shots before and everything else. the requirement for her to know the constitution is too much. maybe she wants to go back to the early days when white men that owned property could vote. maybe she likes that. maybe she wants a fugitive slave cause to be back in the constitution like the original. i can t tell you. she hangs around with the white
there are orphans that have been taken out of the war zone. joining our coverage, john sipher. also joining us, jim townsend, former deputy assistant defense secretary for nato and europe during the obama administration. with me onset is a steady wingman these days, rick stengel, former top state department official and a an msnbc political analyst. john sipher, my question is for you. does putin care when he sees ukrainian orphans on television, or does that make him happy? john sipher, we got to fix your audio. we can t hear you. i m sorry about that. there we are. start over. it wasn t fair to show that before we came on. i was having to wipe my eyes. i know. but putin doesn t care about that. putin is of a long tradition of russian czars and communist party bosses. he doesn t care about his own people at all, they re just chattel to be used, and he certainly doesn t care about
