laws so it will stand but that being said, i think the intent of the constitution was clear. so if this goes to court it s a toss-up as to whether it will stand. kayleigh: it was interesting about this is the 30 day provision. it s so amazing to me that you could be someone who illegally crosses the southern border, somehow gets up to new york, you are here 30 days and then you have a say in voting matters in new york city. i mean, logic tells you that is absolutely ridiculous. the good news however is what emily said and i do think that you have challenges to this, the constitution is pretty clear in the state about every citizen and i think it can be overturned. interestingly to me is that eric adams chose to green light this one up bill de blasio who was about as far left as you could get is a politician said he had mixed feelings about this and he probably wouldn t veto it but he thought this probably wasn t the right way to go. so it is curious to me. even bill de blasio said it
because putin has established, reestablished a police state inside of russia and so you re seeing a sporadic outbreak of protests today in cities around russia. these are very brave but very isolated. thousands came into the streets in 2014 when putin first invaded ukraine, but the bottom line is he has undertaken a very dramatic internal crackdown, arresting alexei navalny, his chief internal political opponent and putting navalny right now on trial a second time from his prison and so i think it s very hard to understand the kind of threat putin could face from within, but this was an invasion ordered from above. this is not a groundswell of the russian people going against ukrainians and for years, in fact, putin himself has spoken of ukraine as brothers. well, now he sent the russian army in to kill their brothers.
out his own, and i have to say at this point, paranoid, myth-making, grievance nursing agenda. everything he has done since he started this back in 2007 at the munich security conference when he gave a very distinct view of the world has pointed to this moment. and the united states and nato took strategic ambiguity off the table from the beginning. they said we will not put a single troop or a single weapon offensively into ukraine. there are some who believe that that wasn t the right way to go, and that putin only understands strength and we see that over and over again. so the real question is, and i think general petraeus, with you, jim, laid it out very, very well. does he just march straight through ukraine like a knife through butter? do the ukrainians put up resistance? how long will that take? will there be a bloody insu insurgency? how much on russia?
thought ons honestly tonight and very intelligently, sophisticatedly. he said what they were trying to do and you remember this, what obama and biden were trying to do is say okay, democrats aren t trusted on stopping illegal entry into the country so, we re going to show that we re serious so that we can get a deal. and he said it didn t work. i think what we saw with deportations going radically up was the wrong way to deal with the problem, and i think they were trying to do it to show they were making a good effort to the republicans, right? that s why they did it. i don t know what their reasons were. i just know it wasn t the right way to go. and i know frankly looking having been in the senate, and remember i got there right after a bipartisan deal which senator bennett was right to take credit for. of eight came together and found a way forward. there was a deal in the senate that passed. it couldn t get through the house. what we re seeing from this president is ta
did he get back to what he did in terms of counseling the president at the time? i think he needs to speak more candidly about his record, and i m sure he ll have opportunities and will be called upon that because there are a lot of people, a lost folks who really felt that some of the problems in the immigration system could have been dealt with a much, much better way. he s going to have to answer for his record. that s what we re all julian castro pointed out i thought ons honestly tonight and very intelligently, sophisticatedly. he said what they were trying to do and you remember this, what obama and bide wrenn trying to do is say okay, democrats aren t trusted on stopping illegal entry into the country so, we re going to show that we re serious so that we can get a deal. and he said it didn t work. i think what we saw with deportations going radically up was the wrong way to deal with the problem, and i think they were trying to do it to show they were making a good
