it because we put so much on the onus of individual shoulders. and the broad aggregate sense, it s way better than i feared it would be. we will take that statement and run with it. thank you, my friend. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. one of the many revelations to come out of the january six committee hearings was trump attorney general bill barr described, in his own words, how he pushed back against trump s claims of election fraud. he called those claims bogus, crazy stuff, and, most incuriously, complete bias. despite the heroic headlines generated by barr s testimony, it is a good point to remember that barr did not say anything publicly debunking those same claims of election fraud until december 1st, which was nearly a month after the 2020 election. in fact, before his post trump rehabilitation tour, this was the bill barr we knew. what happened to the president in the 2016 election, and throughout the first two years of his administration, was a
300,000 additional troops will be called up to fight. this comes as russia has suffered ahumiliating losses to ukraine with troops retreating from territory. putin used his most direct language to date regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons. translator: this is not a bluff. the citizens of russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our homeland, our independence and freedom will be ensured. those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the prevailing winds can turn in their direction. the comments come across the backdrop of the u.n. general assembly here in new york. president biden set to speak just hours for now, as multiple kremlin backed authorities announced referendums on joining russia this week. ukraine and its allies dismissed the moves as a sham driven by fear of defeat. i want to bring in kylie atwood here in new york, nick paton walsh is live in ukraine for us. this speech we thought it was going to happen yesterday, i
