As you look at what he has said and done, the russians were amassing support, how will he act . I think there is a risk that he may act impulsively still. That would be extremely dangerous. If he goes into ukraine, ukrainians will resist. They were taken by surprise in crimea. Their military and capital were disrupted. It wasnt very clear what to do. They will resist and the russians will persist. Initially, we do not want to be drawn into it. We will have to be more sympathetic and active. Its possible. It is still avoidable. At the same time, the russians have to recognize that if that happens, and ukrainians resist, it is a new ballgame. In crimea, it was a pushover. Here they resist and it becomes prolonged. It could last a long time. Defending cities require a lot of patience and tremendous casualties. It will become a little bit like the spanish civil war. Outside the world is divided in supporting different groups. You said that we will be dragged into it. How would you assess t

After the Malaysian Airline tragedy, putin seems to be doubling down on his aggression. Firing across the border, sending personnel in. Russian sympathizers downed two more planes. What can we do to stop him . I think one thing that might stop him is if the International Community all way and all weigh in. The question is, can we get europe and the International Community to go along. I think we might get the point where we can. Second, having been in Eastern Ukraine not too long ago, when i talked to russian speaking ukrainians, they have had about enough of the kinds of people that he is bringing into the conflict. On social media, the russians are recruiting every malcontent and skinhead who will pick up arms and bring them in two Eastern Ukraine. You think sector wide sanctions may be imminent, and the europeans might go along . The dutch were dragging their feet before, now they are leading the charge. Now, with the russians opening up with artillery barrages on the russian side o
To you. Im jim sciutto, and im poppy harlow. While this nation faces the devastating reality of more than 150,000 deaths from coronavirus, this is more tragic news for the u. S. Economy and today while we all honor and remember civil rights icon, the late congressman john lewis, the president is talking about none of the above. Once again hes pushing more false claims. Well call them that, false, including mailin voting leads to widespread fraud, no evidence of that and now hes floated the idea of something thats never happened in this countrys history and that is delaying the president ial election. It is stunning. It needs to be factchecked. We can only assume the president is serious tweeting this. With us now joe johns and constitutional attorney gloria brown marshall. Were glad were here. Joe, let me begin with you. To remind people what does the constitution say about this . Yeah. Constitution is pretty clear, and ill defer to your expert, but my reading of it is that the constit
The end of 2014. The conventional wisdom has been another texan, ted cruz, has stolen your thunder. I hope ted and i are working towards the same goal, which is to make washington less consequential in peoples lives evolve the power back to the state. I believe with all my heart that the state is the laboratory of innovation. You think being a governor puts you in a better position for senator cruz . I think that is a question better for other people to answer. Being the governor of texas, you have to do with issues. You dont have the opportunity to push them off or have a cr or what have you. We have a balance budget but a minute. I think that is a good thing. I was the u. S. Had that restriction. He has not had that opportunity . He has chosen to go his row. He is serving a great role in the senate. Let me ask about the primary in texas. It appears that the tea party, the more rightwing challengers, did not do very well. I am not sure that i have analyzed that election well enough. I
