into this ear could have imagined that the president of the united states could have brought all of europe together. my hope here is that, at the end of the day, that the united states will continue to lead. that they can give the ukrainian people all of the tools they need to win on the ground and protect their territorial integrity. how big of a deal of it is it for turkey to drop their opposition about sweden joining nato? i mean that was putin s whole point at the beginning of this war against ukraine, the strength of the nato alliance and what has happened, it has gotten stronger. it s gotten stronger, and that has got to to be something that all of the world around freedom loving people have got to appreciate and celebrate. at the end of the day, what we have seen in ukraine is a president led by putin who is
demands what they think. brian: does he remember when he negotiated personally to raise the debt ceiling? what is your thought? unbelievable. this president led to 1.2 trillion deficit last year and 24 consecutive months of inflation outpacing wage growth because americans are losing their spending power. he s looking for someone to place the blame. if he wants to find the person to blame, president biden, look in the mirror and blame yourself. truth is that the president is failing us on the economy. 9.1% inflation in single month, 16% inflation since he s taken office and extend credit card with no concession? ainsley, do what my mama taught me, teach me working is good thing, dignity in, wo, providing benefits will reduce spending in
every republican would lose. but i don t hear democrats talking about that. i just don t think that they have been fighting hard enough, i think this is our first election since the former president led an insurrection to violently overturn an election. that s what we should be talking about, and that s what, and one more time katie. i think more s boaters can handle talking about gas prices and saving our democracy. yeah, maria. why is it that there is a suggestion for whatever reason, and being capable to walk and chew gum at the same time. joe s point is well taken that it s one that you just articulated as well. there has to be the ability to resonate to as many voters as possible. to use as much messaging as possible. to get as many democrats to the polls in november. and later they re on. a big example of this issue is georgia. you brought up that state, maria. there s a big debate coming up tomorrow. governor brian kemp will take
weapons. and he was more concerned about protecting them making sure they had entry into the perimeter so he d have this big crowd than protecting his own vice president. now the justice department has two considerations. the first is there s clearly evidence of crime. could they, though, persuade 12 people, 12 jurors to convict? there s never been prosecution of a former president. and including sedition, not just for the proceeding but for the violence of january 6. the other consideration for the justice department is a prosecution in the interest of the american people? and when you consider what we ve heard yesterday, that the former president led or wanted to lead a violent mob to attack the capitol, to stop the certification of elections, from this extremely credible, very
crimea hasn t been overturned? first of all, i think an important difference now today is that crimea happened very quickly. the president led to russia after protests against his rule and quickly in response vladimir putin moved it to claim russia. so we were responding to an event that didn t happen. i think what the biden s group is doing differently is that there is a clear image that is buildup on the border of ukraine. they re trying to get ahead of it. they re trying to signal their consequences in advance in this window of time that exist before potential invasion. i think when you look at what ultimately halted in russia s advance in 2014 after they moved into a couple of eastern provinces in ukraine was a combination of truly multi lateral sanctions on russia. not just u.s. acting alone but the u.s. aligned in other countries which increases both the diplomatic and economic cost in russia.
