Well, the unanimous call of 212 House Democrats has been answered by our nominee for speaker, the gentleman from brooklyn, the leader of our House Democratic caucus, the honorable Hakeem Jeffries. [cheers and applause] leader jeffries has answered our call but the majoritys nominee is disconnected, disconnected from the American People and their values. Maga extremism is designed to divide and it has broken the republican party. Their nominees vision is a direct attack on the freedom and the rights of the American People and he has got the record to prove it. The republican nominee has voted against healthcare for children, for veterans, even for 9 11 survivors. He has opposed lowering the cost of insulin repeatedly. He wants to cut Social Security and medicare. Dont take it from me, it was raised on the other side of the aisle just this week as a Selling Point to make him speaker. Over his 16 years in the house, the republican nominee has never supported a farm bill. What does that me
tanks and heavy personnel carriers, and they re apparently blowing the turrets off the best battle tanks that the russians have. the t-80. the other weapon is the stinger missile, which we call a man pad or man portable air defense system. as you saw on that helicopter clip right there, low altitude shot, blew the engine right off the helicopter and crashed it into the ground. that helicopter was actually out to recover and other aircraft that had been shot down a few hours earlier. so, they had set up these surface to air missile traps. but this does, it forces the russians back up above 10,000 feet. they come to below 10,000 feet, this is very good western technology, some of the newer spinners are going to them, they re very hard to evade. we just heard from alexander vindman, who is making the point that, we can t confirm these numbers, but if they are to be believed about what the ukrainian resistance has taken
17,000 anti-tank missiles, the vast majority of them coming in since the start of the invasion, 2,000 stingers and in addition to that there were other versions of the man pad as it is known coming from other nato allies. that s a remarkable pace, but it is driven by the urgency that the u.s. and its partners fears they won t be able to get them in, in those numbers, forever. because russia, as it makes advances, particularly in the south, is going to, according to the u.s. intel assessment, start to target those lines. but they are getting through. and we re seeing an effect on the battlefield. both in terms of lost personnel on the russian side and lost equipment. so that s a pretty remarkable effort to see play out in the midst of the chaos on the ground here, they re able to get those to those forward units that need them. jim sciutto in lviv, great talking to you, thank you so much. thanks. this morning i spoke with vladimir klitschko, the world champion boxer and a member of
maybe perhaps kyiv, something where you could stay a distance from the russian borders and those ground attack radars, still an escalation, not likely to happen now, but ways to shave it back. looks like it s not going to happen, and we have hit analysts, if you really want to have a no-fly zone you have to take out all the ground-based surface to air missile systems and that means attacking the russians anyway, they don t want to do. a couple of other things zelenskyy asked for, the mig-29, poland has offered to send them to the air base and then the u.s. would send them on, and longer range than the man pad, the stinger missiles. so he s not going to get the migs. should he get the migs? absolutely. he s asked for them, they have pilots trained for them, they would put them to good use. i don t see a reason why we would say yes to stinger missiles and no to migs. what about the idea that the
not a good. it has nothing to do with putin s threats to use nuclear, it s because this entire country is today a free fire zone for anybody carrying a man pad, anybody carrying sting or missile. any of those missiles can bring down helicopters for sure, but can t bring down a velocity weapon. this is a target-rich environment for all those weapons that we have shipped and god bless the british for shipping as many as they have. it s also very important because if you have allied jets flying around. right now they don t have the iff capability. identification friend foe capability. griff: it should work. try again. let s try 100-mile radius. griff: it s catching your cuff
