there wants him to testify truthfully to the committee. my thoughts right now, you won t see him show up or you will see very limited parameters for what he is willing to say. for people who haven t seen this in a while, tim miller, this is what kevin mccarthy of january 6th believed or pretended to believe on january 6th. he said this, quote, the president s bears responsibility for wednesday s attack on congress by mob rioters. kevin mccarthy talking. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. kevin mccarthy goes on to say this. these facts require immediate actions by president trump. accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest, and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. then kevin mccarthy said this, tim. what we saw last week was not the american way. neither is the continued rhetoric that joe biden is not the legitimate president. let s be clear, joe biden will be sworn in as president of the unite
others in the room. is that true, sir? well, let s be clear, he s no longer mccarthy s staffer, he s now with pelosi republican liz cheney and mr. o toole trying to suggest in any way, shape or form that i was cheering on the violence in the united states capitol, he s lying. first i never on january 6th, the time the riots started until it end saw a single protesters or saw a single person engaged in illegal conduct in the united states capitol. second though is this, the united states capitol is full of security cameras. they re everywhere, the capitol complex has them everywhere. there are thousands of hours of footage. if there was one second of footage of mo brooks cheering on some kind of illegal conduct, you better believe that it would have already been made public. it hasn t been made public because it doesn t exist and this particular staffer should apologize for his mischaracterization of what
actually in ukraine currently and meeting with the russians tomorrow. this is not and can never considered a minor mistake about a minor matter. this is about war and peace. this is about joe biden with his judgment and his experience, his 40 years in washington, his knowledge of foreign relations. and he bungled this? how many briefings has he sat through to go over what our position is when his staff is telling the world an invasion is imminent. he should be razor sharp and ready on these issues. you can t have a clean-up on an issue this fundamental. putin already heard what he wanted to hear. joe biden already said it. he can t unsay it. bret: leslie? i m not going to totally disagree with ari on this. but i do think when you screw up, you know, you have your people go out and say look, we screwed up and i like your clean up on aisle 4 analogy there, bret. but let s be clear, vladimir putin doesn t need joe biden to tell him what he thinks he is
organizations, let s be clear, if george soros walks around budapest which he does every year, he would be better treated than i am in midtown manhattan, so they have the dissent the way that the united states doesn t, i have people that are opposed to the government eating outside in restaurants. again, there are people sitting on your site right now that can t do that in new york because someone would spit on them. so the caricature, it s not my job to defend hungary, only understand the lessons to emulate, but that it is a police state or a theocracy or a right wing country is ridiculous. ask anybody who spends a lot in the movie business is working out a budapest because of the tax break, ask any of those guys. dana: they breed really great dogs. our very own percy. jesse: all right, tucker, thank you so much. next on the five, a shocking suggestion on how to deal with friends who can t keep secrets.
ii. ambassador, no one has made such a stark comparison. the president has said it would be the largest escalation internationally since world war ii but what do you make of that warning? so alex vindman is right, if president putin decides to send the tanks and artillery in, it will be on the order of world war ii, something that we haven t seen since world war ii. let s put it that way. however, again, i disagree a bit with alex that we re going to see this imminently. i think there is still doubt, there s probably doubt in mr. putin s mind as to whether or not he can really succeed. as alex says, the ukrainian military, ukrainian military is much stronger today than it was eight years when russia invaded the first time. much stronger. there s no doubt, let s be clear, there s no doubt that the russian military is stronger yet, than the ukrainian, and in
