decision by the german chancellor to halt the certification of that. that s what officials at the white house have been pointing to when talk about the sanctions, which is giving president biden praise from republicans such as senator ted cruz. president biden also noted that he is ready to take further action against russia should they escalate further. tha thar that has been the big question whether or not a attack, this full-scale assault. he does believe it s expected to happen. of course officials are monitoring this. we know that u.s. officials have communicated some of this intelligence to the ukrainian government to talk about what they believe is going to happen. they re also paying attention to what ukraine is doing and the fact that their parliament just approved this state of emergency they re going to have in place for the next 30 days is quite significant. it s a step we haven t seen them
start. but the ukrainians are right, it s a little bit hypocritical. alicia: the foreign minister is calling on the e.u. government to go with full embar goes on oil and gas with russia. the europeans are probably hess tanlts to do that. there is whole time i think the europeans have been hesitant with respect to a full array of sanctions that would impact their ability to trade in energy. in the case of the united states, that s a step we haven t taken either. there are additional steps that could go one step further in terms of putting pressure on the russian regime and sending an important signal that the actions undertaken by putin and the russians won t stand and not emboldening others. and xi jinping of china.
that and being responsible for give aways, in other words, tax breaks to people, is going to get the credit. bill: the give away line troublesome. tax dollars are given to the government and not the other way around. check three. the wikileaks guy julian assange is out on bail and giving interviews to the president. that might be a mistake. are you saying, in particular, that there has been undue influence on the women who have made these accusations or is it undue influence on the prosecutor saying that the women themselves because i was in the courtroom all these times, and there was talk of forcibly spreading her legs. holding her down so she could come on. come on. i m sorry, come on. but i. i met no insult. it s just a step we haven t gone. tabloid snuck.
