hello. i am dana perino. it is 5:00 in new york city and this is the five. embattled harvard president resigning as the leader of the most powerfuel ivy league school in the country. it took her disastrous testimony before congress and 50 allegations of plagiarism to end the shortest presidency and the university s history, just six months. she dihed not mention eithern a statement but seems to imply racism was a factor in herctor ouster. she said it was frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.an it started when she could not answer this question in front oe congress. the answer is yes, that calling for the of violates harvard code of conduct. i it depends on the context. it does not. the answer is yes and this is why you should resign. her stepping down as only the beginning. we have seen a failure ofdine leadership from claudine, but also a failure of academic integrity, which is ahe cornerstonre of any institution.
it is not enough kamala harris. all of these issues are very left wing. that is a great point. yoatu have to say you should be more worried about joe. people rely on his tape because he is neither democrat nor republican. we expected more because you said this. he is in position where he doesn t speak for anybody. no one is buying what he said. 71% of the country thinks theio country is going in.n the wrong direction. and 71% think he is too old.im f if he loses by .9 of 1% inor 1 georgia, which is a swing state,
country, russia for their part they freaked out they no longer had their own guy running the country next door. russia, of course, in 2014 soon invaded ukraine and started taking over parts of that country by force, parts of eastern ukraine and crimea. ukrainians, meanwhile, started learning about how exactly their pro-russia puppet leader had been living while he d been in charge. i meann they knew he was corru. that was part of what they d been protesting against, but after he was gone they found his private zoo he d been seekiately kept for himself. they found his gold toilets carved to look like animal feet, his secret car collections, found his private restaurant on a boat made to look like a spanish galleon he used to float around on on a private lake he d made for himself at taxpayer
one. but that s what it looks like. that s the assemblage of short straws and splitem ends and loo change and loose electrons that s advocating in this country that russia s in the right in this war and america should be on putin s side as he keeps invading other countries. i mean no disrespect to the americans who turned out as part of this small event this weekend but it s not like they represent a big constituency that is arguing for this pro-russia point of view. but while this happened this weekend, meanwhile president biden was heading to kyiv secretly, and once he got there today and we all found out he d made the trip to kyiv at least one pro-trump republican member of congress who happens to have a seats on the homeland securi committee called for him to be impeached for having gone to ukraine. other pro-trump american members of congress today said it was a disgrace and a shame and how
side, time is on ukraine s side. and that s a message that everybody including russia should now get. how could that be? joining us now is anne applebalm. thank you so much for being here. really appreciate it. delighted. first let me ask you if you agree with that framing that there have been some big western expectations about how this last year would go that have been wrong, proved wrong at a pretty fundamental level? look, we got almost everything about this war wrong. a year ago today most people expected the capital kyiv to fall within a few days. they thought zelenskyy would flee the country, the president of ukraine. if he wasn t going to flee the country they thought he d be almost certainly assassinated or very quickly arrested or eliminated. there were lists circulating of
