specifically what the possible ramifications for this is a period when i heard minor incursion, i nearly fell off the chair. i couldn t believe what i was hearing. more importantly, he s outperformed expectations pure he s had the most successful first year as president. i will go through that record when president trump joins us, but can you name a single thing you must cite he did a good job? rep. mccarthy: i can name one. the only thing he is accomplished is to change my opinion of the jimmy carter administration. [laughter] hannity: a clever answer, i like it but with a little bit of humor. my question is this, and i get asked this on my radio show all the time. we got these midterms coming up. what i hear over and over again is that the base of the conservative movement and republicans, they want leaders that will make promises, that will fight like hell to keep
it is causing some issues because there s no direct translation in ukrainian for the word imminent. at least politico is reporting that s when biden s team might generally mean soon. it seems that s kind of for a lack of better word annoying him. well, these language issues i think we ve had more than enough in the last two weeks. this weekend, yes, we re talking about imminent. last week we were talking about major versus minor incursion. there s always something that comes up no matter who s the president here in the united states in terms of a possible rift in this relationship. and that is exactly what russia wants. and what ukrainian diplomats are doing, and you see it at the united nations where ambassador linda is working hand in hand with other people as we get up to the point of possibly having a u.n. security council briefing
