yeah. okay. and what they don t tell is the rest of this clip, which we got to play in full. that happened yesterday. that wasn t, like from years ago. this was their cleanup. the story was, a bull wanted to have sex with three cows. gets the three cows pregnant. i don t want to hear this, no. and saw three other cows over the fence and wanted to get those cows pregnant so much that he went over barbed wire. are you okay? to get to the other cows. is this really what happened or are you making this up? sweetheart? yeah? i didn t tell the story. uh-huh. about a bull wanting to get six cows pregnant. there s no way herschel walker would tell that story at this moment. these people come to georgia. yeah. to help him get out of a scandal where he got a lot of people pregnant. lied about it. didn t want to so he literally said that yesterday, katty kay, on the campaign trail in georgia, and there was tom cotton and i guess rick s
again, we can t get inside putin s brain, what his off ramp would be. what would change his decision calculus. we can only go with what we re seeing every day in the intelligence and the information we re getting. that all tells us he s still committed to this fight. in fact doubling down. got mobilization of reserveists doing the annexation. right. he s doubling down showing no indication he s willing to slow down. that changes obviously our kag kag calculus. it s a kinetic battlefield. they ve made dramatic gains in the northeast able to secure and hold on to and making more progress in the south than even just a week ago. there s a real sense of momentum on the ukrainian side. you sensed that obviously when you talked to them. they do feel like 0, that the tide is turning in their behalf, and we just have to make sure we continue to help them do that. john, are we at some kind of
inflection point? you have head of britain s intelligence listening service, gchq yesterday saying they are making the calculation putin is making strategic mistakes and that the russian population are becoming increasingly aware of the cost of the war, partly because of the fallout and all the people leaving. what ukrainians would like are longer-range missiles from the americans. they feel they could do more damage, get to the point they want to get. not saying america hasn t helped. totally recognize th$40 billion, and they want to push the russians out to go that one step further. winter is coming. why not at this point and i understand the sensitivity. worried what could happen if they strike inside russia but look what russians are doing to ukraine at this point? does it change the calculation and time to give them those
look like going forward post-war. it s not like we re just trying to get to the table and throw up our hands and quit. and one more thing, john. the president talking about wanting an off ramp for putin. that suggestive that you and your colleagues in the white house think maybe there is one? what would it look like? this kind of gets to mika s question. i mean, it s hard to know right now. we can t get inside mr. putin s brain to understand exactly what he s thinking now or where he wants to go in the future, but the president s right. we have to be thinking about how does this end? and when could it end? under what circumstances? recognizing, of course, that mr. zelenskyy really gets to be in the driver s seat in terms of what success looks like when he s willing to negotiate and what he s willing to negotiate for. we re not going to dictate those terms to him, but obviously, yes. we, not just the united states. our allies are thinking this, too. how much longer and what does it
and branch, the elements of the imperial attitude that supported putin in this war are taken apart and it s a, it s a much more maximal goal. talk about consequences of that spring 1945 didn t have nuclear weapons that could destroy the earth 100 times over. joe, what i said last night at the cathedral was i see two fundamental things in contradiction. after world war i we know that a harsh, punitive piece on germany helped lead to world war ii. so that tells us to be causal with russia. but we also know that world war ii ended with the unconditional surrender of germany and japan and that on that total defeat was built the miracle of post-war reconstruction. so i ve been thinking that unless this imperial, this vicious thing that is in putin s style of governance, unless
