beyond ukraine and putin is a major security threat to really the entire world and certainly all the countries that border him there in europe. griff: do you believe and it looks that putin could take ukraine that he d attack a baltic state like estonia, lithuania, latvia, which is a nato country, which would raise the stakes. if he does take ukraine, god forbid. let s hope he doesn t. but the problem now is i think putin is battle fixated. russia triumphant in ukraine would embolden him to try and move someplace else because it would tell us two things. it would tell us that nato, u.s., and the world failed to stand with ukraine and stop putin there, and the next thing is that russia s military, if he
trump give directions and donald trump did not give specific directions. he talked about oprah for like 10 minutes and then, you know, a little bit further along he said, you know, we re all going to the capitol and i m coming with you and he did not come. so it s easy to see how that would happen as a q-anon supporter. let s be haunsz, nobody thought donald trump was going to walk from the elipse to the capitol, that s a long walk. let s talk about one more thing, the vulnerable here, i ve been looking into the death of rosanne boilen, accountability is a major issue, and q-anon, talk about their tactics. you get this guy trump, a demagogue saying i got this theory and people fall into the
what do you think about this? this has been around the anti-vax community for a year plus. i would call constituent services by the way, a lot of the people believe this stuff and he is playing to a base. this is the danger of this stuff. you get congress people explicitly saying this stuff to try to win votes, knowing for a fact it s not true or playing around with the truth a little bit. i will say the mouthwash thing is fine, like if you want to gargle a bunch of mouthwash, that s great, really cool compared to the stuff i ve seen over the last year which most recently involved nebulizing which is huffing, essentially, hydrogen peroxide in colloidal silver. let s hope he doesn t ask skbn to inject themselves with it like the thing trump was saying with bleach.
let s hope he doesn t. he has ambassador talking to putin on a regular basis. paul, we have to acknowledge that putin is not a strategic competitor, he is an enemy. you have britain fingering russia for use of nerve agent on british oil. you have two countries, australia and netherlands blaming russia for downing airliner over ukraine. they killed almost 300 people. paul: all true and yet are you saying the president should not be going to this summit? i don t think the president should go to the summit at all. anything that we need to do vis-a-vis russia does not require socializing with vladimir putin in front of camera. paul: you don t think there s any chance he could get modu with putin that could make him less hostile to u.s. interest along the lines? how can you trust him when he s embarrassing president trump in syria, broke the agreement in syria on chemical weapons, broke the agreement on ukraine, invaded three of his neighbors, flying bombers over
remember, robert mueller has to report and get the advice and consent of someone like rod rosenstein throughout his investigation. and so, rod rosenstein, up to this date, has been particularly, i guess, you know, facilitating and helping out the investigation by allowing the grand jury to go forward, to allow the indictments to go forward and everything else. so, he maybe saying, i m not going to fire mueller, but that doesn t end the inquiry of whether he will actually undermine the investigation. because he does have the option to fire rod rosenstein, who really wields a lot of power in this investigation. well, with john, he did fire comey and praised comey before he fired him. yes. what he s doing is, it s very interesting. he says one thing, but his actions speak louder. i think in a way, mark warner was giving him the benefit of the doubt. because plainly, this assault on mueller s investigation is to soften him up to make possible firing. and i don t think his intent has ev
