for democracy. so does the fact that only two republicans voted to cite former-white house chief of staff mark meadows for also defying the committee or only ten voted to impeach the former president. that all speaks volumes. so does the fact that, until cooler heads prevailed and it was cancelled today, cobb county s republican party had been planning to mark tomorrow s anniversary, in part, with a candlelight vigil for members of the violent mob now in jail awaiting trial. that s right. they were going to hail, as heroes the alleged worst of the worst people who attacked the capitol. take a look at the agenda uncovered by a political reporter for the atlanta journal constitution. 6 to 7:00 p.m., it reads candlelight vigil for j6 patriots held in washington. it speaks loudly to where we are tonight. so does the notion of a republican party so deeply do youed by their later, they can t even bring themselves to condemn his new line that this was not the real insurrection. that the real
the wrong way to go. and just to give you a sense of how rapidly moving this situation is, the british defense secretary was asked, the russian defense secretary said he doesn t intend to invade ukraine and youed him in the eye and what was your takeaway. and he said i heard him and take him seriously and i see what happened on the ground and it is noft normal for military training exercise and i could only take my clues from that is what he said. he as asked, are british citizens being asked to leave ukraine immediately? this was two and a half hours ago and he said no, that is not our government s advice. well you know what, in the last half an hour, it has changed. british citizens are being told like american citizens to leave. that is how rapidly changing this situation is. that is really telling. kim, i think that some of us have the impression this won t happen during the olympics as though there was a back deal,
this all happened while zucker and his coworker girlfriend coordinated with then democratic governor cuomo. i told youed is a lot more to this story now we re getting it anyway and presumably other democrats, they wanted to take down trump. they were trying toin build up andrew cuomo into a presidential candidate. and i m sure we re going to be learning even more aboutli this unraveling scandal in the weeks ahead. but itng is now official fake news cnn they re imploding. zucker is gone, the knives are out and according to reports, fake jake tapper referred to chris cuomo as a terror. wow. jim acosta is openly worrying that cnn will become fox news lite. caitlin collins apparently, according to reports, had a fit of rage. the and get this the discovery exactlyo crtv who s soon going to take over fake news. cnn had this to say aboutts the so-called facts first network. take a look. wete have this great entertainment menu which should people in in h in the home from
this to ukraine, don t even think about it with the nato alliance. i think that would be an important signal to be sending vladimir putin at this moment, ari. you mentioned the sanctions. i can show you for viewers, the russian ruble plunging low, a currency, impacting everything from inflation to imports to consumer confidence. the stock market hit as well. evelyn, what is the timeline for this kind of strategy? how long would it take for the economic hit on russia to actually affect what vladimir putin is doing? clearly, he s quote/unquote priced in some of this pain. yeah, i mean, ari, the ruble clearly took a hit. there will be some economic shockwaves in the short run perhaps. but frankly, as youed, he s been ready for this. i don t think it s the sanctions that are going to be decisive in the near term. it s really what the admiral
it s supposed to go. president should be able to sign off. you were not a signatory to this letter. tell me why. s o well, mostly because the president has been very clear, frankly, i think a little too clear that we were never going to send u.s. men and women to fight inen russia ukraine, excuse me. he s been saying that a long time so he s not clear he s not seeking permission c from congrs to go into armed conflict with russians. youed can debate whether showin our cards like that was the right thing to do he s been pretty consistent about that. terms of reinforcing our nato allies, that s not something you needli approval from congress from. you do needval approval to fign ad war and i just don t think that s where we re going. it s not thatre you have an objection to what they re saying, you feel it s not necessary? t correct. congress basically since the iraq s war has been derelict in its duty to provide authorization. congress has just said, you know
