so, republicans want to impeach a republican? why? trump republicans want to impeach a trump appointed republican. why? despite being appointed by donald trump and a registered removal republican voter, republican lawmakers have baselessly accused wray of using the fbi to target those with conservative beliefs, including the former president, himself. director wray was having none of it. there is a two tiered justice system that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs and that you ve personally been worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly, your description of my own approach. the idea that i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane, to me, given my own personal background. you presided over the fbi that has the lowest level of trust in the fbi s history. people trust the fbi more when hoover was running the place when you are. the reason i
partially correct. if, in fact, putin was hoping that one of the effects of him invadingef ukraine would be a brush back to nato, that he would be able to worry less aboute nato and somehow starti this war s would make that happ, sorry. when putin invaded ukraine there were 30 i countries in nato. now there are about to be 32. finland was the 31st country to join in april. that gave russia 800 more miles of border directly with a nato country. and now as of tonight we know that sweden is going to join natoat as well. sweden said months ago that they wanted to join, but this is something that really until today looked like it couldn t happen and that s because for a new country to join nato, it has to be a unanimous decision. all the nato countries have to agree with h the decision, if o country doesn t agree it doesn t happen. and inre the case of sweden it s an original nato it was a nato w member, a single nato country,in turkey, that said no. they saidid finland was okay
what happened in his meeting with president biden, and what sort of promises were made, and what sort of promises can be kept? the alliance is sticking together, and the money and weapons have been pouring in along with still firm sanctions on moscow. but, with a u.s. presidential election looming, what can ukraine count on long term, and what can nato expect? are there contingencies for a second donald trump administration if it comes to that, and what about at other variable? republican lawmakers on the hill, the party is publicly split on supporting ukraine. some even calling for the u.s. to pull funding immediately. so as the president heads to helsinki to celebrate finland s entry and sweden s ascension, let s discuss what s to come. nbc correspondent josh lederman, in kyiv, kelly cobiella, and with me, new york times chief white house correspondent peter baker. everybody, welcome. josh, let me start with you. walk us through the meeting with president zelenskyy and th
i did everything right and they indicted me. and what it means to set and then immediately break the record for hottest day ever recorded on planet earth. when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. hope you had a good july 4th weekend. we are rapidly approaching the real actual serious for now start of the 24 republican primary. the first rnc debate is next month in milwaukee where the republicans will also hold their 2024 convention. while it s still too early for any real predictions about who voters will choose or how this will play out, right now, speaking as of today, it does look like donald trump is way ahead of everyone else. and that is in large part because florida governor ron desantis, who was initially hyped up is the candidate who could take on trump, has seen his poll numbers tank. just look at the polling averages since the start of this calendar year. desantis line should commit with its own slide whistle. he s almost 30 p
