going. on so, putin wouldn t feel that we are ukrainian lawmaker, kyra reddick, we appreciate your time. thank you so much for joining us. thank you, angler to ukraine. well, new video has showing the moment the russian seized control of an east into the last month. the camp video it shows troops entering in donetsk region on may 25th. moved past the storied buildings and empty streets for entering a local government building. russian soldiers make their way up to the roof where they wait their victory flag. ukraine confirmed, days later s, that the city had been taken by russian forces. roughly 60 kilometers kilometers west of severodonetsk, a strategically important ukrainian city.
mudd. it s great to have you both here for a conversation that could not be more important. phil, let s just start with you. what s your reaction to zelenskyy s warning here. . look, if you re sitting in the white house, even if you consider a 1% less chance that putin would use a nuclear tactical weapon, you cannot sit in front of the president and say we re not considering those options. mr. president, with he didn t think about the implications. when you are thinking about the implications it is not just what does the u.s. do. how do we talk to the europeans. how do we prepare militarily for a response. what is a low end response, what is a eye end response, what is the humanitarian response, what are second-level consequences you to think in terms of advising the president but also the complications. you can t do it on the fly. i was just going to say you have to be thinking what could the military target be? putin wouldn t use a tactical
of course putin, international pariah, but yet trump even to this day, two years out of the white house, still will not condemn him even though most of his party, which in the past has been sympathetic at times to putin, not on this. he s deemed a war criminal committing a trosies. president biden says he s committing genocide. donald trump won t criticize him at all. joe and mika, one thing the former president trump is right about is things would look a lot different if he were president right now. would he be rushing billions of dollars of weapons into ukraine? would he have imposed crippling sanctions on vladimir putin s economy and bring it to its knees? would he have rallied the west in support of ukraine, against vladimir putin? they are questions that answers themselves. they answer themselves. anybody who says he would have done any of that, they are liars, and they can t just say putin wouldn t have done this if trump were president. it s just not true.
and blame putin for this but let s face it, putin wouldn t be in ukraine if it weren t for the weak leadership of joe biden s administration. this is being reflected in the poll numbers. latest poll out today shows the president s approval rating at 33% tied for a low of his presidency. disapprove 54% of people disapprove of the president s job. this is really an inflation story among all the other things that are going on. bill: thank you, edward. nice to see you from the north lawn. thanks for that. dana: a second bus load of migrants arriving at the nation s capital overnight as florida republican governor ron desantis issues a warning to migrants planning to come from the sunshine state. that second bus arrived in the nation s capitol early this morning at 4:30 a.m. a few blocks from the u.s. capitol. greg abbott blames the white house for the expected surge in migrants this summer.
but it s coming from elsewhere meaning this won t have any practical implications, but als that is what germany would be happening that putin wouldn t shut off the pipeline that are running from other places because it would be catastrophi not just for germany, but for all of western europe because russian gas goes all over the place. we have to be careful not just for ourselves, but for our nato allies because we could make a bad situation worse for them. right now this could go bad in so many different ways. colonel, we hear you. real quick. when you think something happen if vladimir putin decides to move in there? obviously no one can know fo sure, but i think within a few days from now, it may be a week or so some of these deployments that they have will be complete and then it could be at any moment. general keane last hour saying he thinks we should already have troops moved in there. should have done it a while ago he said. great to have you here. did you have a quick fin
