Ukrainian border. And first elements of a 3,000strong deployment sent to support nato allies, poland and romania. This afternoon President Biden was asked if war troops could soon be on the way. Not yet im not going to speculate on that. In particular thing that Vladimir Putin is looking for, sir in order to make i think thing hs he cannot g. U. S. Intelligence estimates paint a bleak picture of what could happen if russia invades. One estimate says ukraines capital city of kyiv might fall in 48 hours if poutin were to unleash his full Military Power and tens of millions of casualties and up to 500,000 refugees. Dont believe the apocalyptic predictions theyre called. Putin could conduct the Largest Military operation on land in europe since world war ii. Cnns senior Internationaliley Ukraine and also joining us from fort bragg, north carolina. Sam, ukraine doesnt seen worried. Rye not . Reporter two reasons, jim. First, as they regularly point out government level, countrys already been invaded. A large chunk of its eastern territory oured by russia and the crime miya annexed to russia consider it a done deal in terms of invasion. The other aspect, hybrid world faire, world wide effectively includes economic costs. The more talk of immense of war, more they see briefings coming out, the danger, the economy will suffer causing political instability. Political instability in the end might collapse the center and do part of Vladimir Putins job for him, if thats what indeed hes planning to do. So the Foreign Minister today demetro coming out with statements saying dont believe these apocalyptic analysis come particularly out of the United States and complaining about the tune struck by the u. S. For now two and a half weeks as these troop continue to build up, though, both in belarus as well as in ukraine, jim. All right. Isabelle, youve talked to troops at fort bragg. What are they telling you right now . Reporter jim, for some soldiers i spoke with, first time delploying and much much more seasoned. Nerves about the deployment but all shared a sense of duty. Desire to serve and help out nato allies. We know that 2,000 troops will be deployed from here from fort bragg over to eastern europe. We know that from the 18th a air airborne. Done, there in germany. 1,700 from the 82nd Airborne working on deploying them, and we even saw a fresh wave of them being sent off late last night. They loaded up a c17 with soldiers with equipment, with humvees and they arrived into poland this morning. I am also learning that the soldiers will be conducting Military Drills with their polish counterparts. Thats according to a spokesperson from the 82nd Airborne. So where there to assure our allies and reinforce or ironclad commitment to our european allies cannot anticipate the future and hope our president s will assure our allies were committed to a safe and stable europe. Reporter soldiers hopped on to those flights without a timeline in hand. They do not know how long theyre going to serve there in europe and the pentagon has not ruled out they could in fact send even more troops. We know 8,500 of them besides the 2,000 sent from fort bragg and another 1,000 sent from germany to romania. Another 8,500 on heightened alert. Jim . Isabelle rosales from the Military Fort Bragg in north carolina. Appreciate it. Joining me member of the Armed House Services Committee and Intelligence Committee. Democratic congresswoman Jackie Speier of california. Heard that set up top of cnn reporting 70 percent forces in place for a fullscale russian invasion and that kyiv could fall within 48 hours. Does that track with what you are learning and what is your level of concern now that we might actually see the Largest Military operation since world war 2 tworld war ii take place n europe . Jim, we should be very concerned. Likelihood of kyiv falling within 48 hours is pretty accurate. Ive heard figures as high as 100,000 civilians could be killed as a result. This is a provocative heinous Vanity Project by putin who, i think, has every indication that he wants to reconstitute the soviet union. 100 years ago this year that the soviet union came into be. I think he has been, for many years now, wanting to reestablish that soviet union, and this is a step in that direction. So we have a very delicate dance to step around in right now, because i think we want to save these lives. Ukraine is not a member of nato, but theres an interest of wanting to protect it, and we are preparing to be there to assist them if necessary. And ukrainian officials are almost treating this like Run Of The Mill russian postures, something theyve been accustomed after the Annexation Of Crimea and so on. Is this a tactic to try to cool things off . Do you think ukraine might be underprepared, that theyre not stealing their own citizens for what may be about to take place . I do think president zelensky is trying to maintain an economic viability in the country now and trying to calm fears but i think people recognize that this is an incredible buildup of Russian Troops surrounding them both in belarus and right outside of donbass. He may be doing this but clearly the rest of the world recognizes what putin is doing. Our Intelligence Committee has done an excellent Job Making Intelligence public that will foil some of these efforts by russia to create a scenario that somehow this red flag where ukrainians attack was really going to be filmed, use cadavers and contacters to be mourning the site. So calling them out and pulling back the scurtain is really ver important to prevent them from moving forward with their propaganda efforts. Are the russians, do they think that the rest of the world is stupid enough to believe some fake video of ukrainians pulling off some kind of invasion . A mail attack on the russians . Sounds so ridiculous, i cant believe the russians would think the rest of us would believe that . Youve got to remember that crimea was taken over by putin with not, with basically a squirmish, not a blood drop was dropped or a bullet really shot, and we were pretty silent. I think we learned a very important lesson. That if you dont push back, he will push forward. And lets switch gears and talk about the nfl and its investigation of Sexual Misconduct inside the washington fool Football Team noi consult called the washington commandos. You said a coverup proves nfl never accounted for accountability for owner Dan Snyd Dars dastardly deeds, awe call it and saying allegations are also, dan snyder denies them. Saying the league is cooperating. What about having Roger Goodell come in and testify . Talk about that. I think its very important that Roger Goodell come in and testify. I think the number of questions that need to be asked. This is a 12 to 16 Billion Dollar industry a year. Up until very recently had a tax exempt status. Still eligible for pax exempt Municipal Bonds when they build these stadiuming. I think congress has to take a very hard look at the preferential treatment the nfl has been given and the fact goodell had a deal with snyder before the investigation even began, that they would not even release documents unless they both agreed to it shows what a sham it was. And then after he paid a 10 million fine he was able to have his wife take over the franchise. I mean that would be like a member of congress being charged with Sexual Harassment and the penalty was that his spouse could take over as the member of congress. It is preposterous and laughable. And on thursday the former commander, employees you spoke with, spoke to the committee and you asked each of the women how many times they sexual harassed on the job. Pretty disturbing responses. Here what they said. Too many to count. I was there 14 years. And its too many to count. More than 100 . More than 100. More than 200. If i had to guess, yes. At least 50 to 100. Wasnt eastern just comments. The wagss, tossed in the air way skirt on and me having to convince myself, keep your legs closed to avoid an uncomfortable situation in front of the potential client. Over 100. Mrs. Applegate. Worked there a year and a half. Mathematically roughly 515 times, because it happened and a daily basis. Thats was a sevenday a week job. Happened every day on site. Didnt matter where you were. Pervasive culture that happened. Multiply that 500 times by 8. Did you think we need to see a Criminal Investigation . Oh, i absolutely think we need a Criminal Investigation. There is apparently a video that was made without the consent of these cheerleaders of them undressing, getting ready for shoots for their calendar. They were treated like pieces of meat, and the video evidently has some, you know, very revealing photographs or video of these women, not with their consent. It was prepared for dan snyder himself for his personal viewing, and for, and delight, i suppose, but it is a criminal act. It was a criminal act to put his hand on one of the Cheerleaders Thigh and leave it there until she removed it. He should not have a franchise in the nfl. It has been treated like a frat party and everyone has just turned the other cheek, and allowed it to continue. I can tell you having grown up in this area and being a washington Football Team fan many years, so many people in this area who are just so tired of dan snyder being owner of that Football Team and what youre talking about, congresswoman, should be part of the evidence that should lead to his departure knop. No question about it. Thank you for your time. Thank you. As the ut passes 900,000 deaths from covid19 one writer says looking more than 100 years into the past to the 1918 pandemic for lessons.

I travel a ton, so this info was kind of life changing. Maybe even lifesaving. Do you know what the future holds . 900,000 americans dead from covid. Every day an average of 2,400 americans are dieing from the disease. More than at the height of the delta peak in the country fall of 2021. Clearly covid isnt done with america but more and more sirens americans are done with covid. Not from the usual suspects from the antivax far right. Im done with covid. Im done. I went so hard on covid. I remember. Sprayed pringles k cans, sprd lie clothes did it all. Get the vaccine and you get back to normal. And we havent gotten back to normal, and its ridiculous at this point. And a new oped in the New York Times author John Barry Foints Lessons the u. S. Is learn the way it reacted to subsequent ways of the 1918 pandemic and not repeat that mistake. He joins me now. John, you wrote about this in your brilliant book about the 1918 influenza pandemic. Specifically emerge a variant emerged in 1920 in comparison with covid. I read your book. Thought it was marvelous. Amazing to see parallels between then and now. First, thanks for the kind words. People are people. We havent changed. And back then after a couple of years, they were tired of it. Just as we are. The problem is, the virus wasnt tired with them, and it isnt tired with us. So what happened in 1920 is another wave, in some places, deadliest wave of all, and we are same thing happened not only after that pandemic, the big one in 1918, but similar minor pandemics in 1957, 1968 and 2009. Again, several years after the initial outbreak, you got a variant that came back and bit you and in some ways was the most dangerous yet. I hope that doesnt happen. There are a lot of reasons for optimism right now, but its you know, we have to remain wary. Absolutely. Lets talk about this Monmouth Poll came out recently found while americans continue to be concerned about spread of covid, vast majority say time to accept it as a part of life. You say that is dangerous. Its going to be tough to get that message across because so many folks have covid fatigue. Well, ive got it myself. You know, you can live reasonably close to prepandemic normal without it will become, you know, endemic. You know, we have some very powerful drugs that are already in line, unfortunately dont have them in large quantities. The vaccines are very effective in protecting you against serious disease, but just to continue to use common sense measures. You sgloknow . Japanese have what they call the three cs. Avoid close contact, that and masks and japan has fewer than 20,000 deaths of 135 million population. Thats one of the main reasons theyve been successful. So we can still live reasonably normal lives, but do not entirely forget about the virus. You need take some precautions. Yeah. I mean, just wondering what you think. Suh sure you hear this in conversations with friends and family members. I hear the same thing. For those vaccinated and boosted, take precautions and so on, a lot of us are ready to move on, and get back to normal life, and i suppose there is a thought for those of us in society who have decided against getting vaccinated, the unvaccinated, that theyve made their decision and thats just how its going to be. And we all sort very to move together as a society and unvaccinated, stubborn as they are now have to deal with the consequences. What do you make of that . I suppose you hear that as well . I do hear it. Sure. I mean, unfortunately the vast majority of people dieing are unvaccinated. You know, we are almost at the point, and pretty soon will be at point, where essentially the entire population is either vaccinated or has some immune protection, because they were infected. You know . Thats going to be a good spot to get to. We are almost there. That does raise questions, again, about waning immunity pip how long the immunity lasts and so forth. You know . Whether or not we will need another annual shot, really, as we do in flu. Possibly combining the flu vaccine with the vaccine against covid. There are a lot of ways we can get out of this. Along with the drugs i mentioned a minute ago. But we are almost there, but i am simply asking people to recognize that we are all tired, but were not there yet. All right. Very interesting. If you read johns book, youll see there can be very serious consequences throwing caution to the wind saying, okay, let her rip all at once, leading to a lot more hospitalizations and deaths in this country.
