unit cohesion the you need to be an effective fighting force. this is a huge factor that disadvantages the russian army. yeah, and speaking of morale, all have to do is look at the ukrainians. they re fighting for their country, they re fighting for their existence, and that is making the difference in the battlefield, without a doubt. stephanie, the new york times published an extensive piece on view on the hill. she s the intelligence expert that testified that trump s first impeachment. he ll actually explain the things that she learned back then, including the way trump privatized foreign policy for his own purposes, and had a narrow goal to stay in power irrespective or other people wanted. those were her words. is a striking to you how much a foreign policy today specifically in ukraine is still being affected by the legacy of trump and his inability to help the kenyan government when it needed it to prepare for what ended up happening? oh, it absolutely is a
release their findings and make those hearings. public. back with me now, my all-star panel. hayes brown, jonathan alter, stephanie miller. let me begin with you, hayes. it s doubtful that trump level agreed to testify to the january six committee, but you think the community should still ask him, even if it s just to send a message to the american public about it? yeah, i think that they should actually ask him. and while i know that it feels improbable that they will actually go so far as to issue a subpoena to trump, to actually try and put the force of the law behind this effort, i do think that, should president trump prove uncooperative, i think they should at least try. i feel that this is something important, and that, you do want to take this to court, and you don t want to actually go through those hearings. i know it s one of trump s favorite things is to delay tactics, to file appeal after appeal, after appeal. to try and make the pace that, you know, he has all meaningfu
have been tasked fixing literally everyone in washington after the election. and the fact that it s his text messages that have been turned over is clearly a booing for the committee and their investigation. ginni thomas text, and text with other people donald trump jr., he was the focal point for so much of trump s efforts to overturn the election. so on the specifics of the checks that were released from cnn this week, i think they re fascinating. i think the fact that mike lee who was pushing this theory, that was also trying to be carried out in the justice department. one of the lawyers who has refused to and to answer the congressional subpoena, he ll work in the justice department. and also, attorney general, to try and keep this hope alive, leave with all this favoritism, pushing them to say, despite the majority of the voters saying otherwise, that trump
responsibility. of course he should be questioned about that. as for president trump himself, yes, it should subpoena him. i don t think they should waste a lot of time on, it or let them have a delay there in the investigation. because obviously, he will go there and lie, as he always does. so, even if he was, they decide to testify, it wouldn t be significant. stephanie, i mean, it s frustrating for a lot of people who are watching the justice department and all of this, because they have not, the justice department have not taken any action on the criminal referrals issued to the republicans who have refused to cooperate. what is the point of anyone cooperating, if there is no punishment when they don t abide by the department of justice? amen, i m with you. i am for and i want it now. i hope you don t mind me calling me calling you, daddy. just for tonight. listen, i hope trump testifies, just so he could take the fifth
coming up this hour, how the invasion shows trump s misunderstanding of war. then, the big decision on the january six committee is about to make before it goes public. and jared kushner s deal with saudi arabia. what did he promised to get a two billion dollar investment for? i m a man why dean, let s get started. all right, we have some breaking news on day 51 of russia s invasion of ukraine. russian state media s reporting that major general vladimir floral, the deputy commander of russia s eight army has been killed in combat. nbc news has not been able to independently confirmed this reporting, but it would make jenner floor off at least eight russian general to be killed in ukraine. and it follows the combat depths of another 24 kernels. how do we explain this sorry state of putin s military campaign?
