Sustained, deep and dark role in providing all of this support and capabilities to hamas in terms of this particular gruesome attack on october 7, we dont currently have that information. Well continue to look for it. If we find it, well share it with you. Thank you, jake. Looking back at the last few days, how did israel miss this attack coming . Thats a question for you to ask the Israeli Government. Obviously the Israeli Government has placed a high premium on its Intelligence Capacity as it relates to hamas and the west bank and relates to hezbollah. Why it is they didnt have warning from this is not a question that i can answer. What about u. S. Intelligence . Anything that crosses your desk that suggests this was come something. We did not see anything that suggested an attack of this type was going to unfold any more than the israelis did. Your meeting in the Situation Room today, we saw images earlier. At some point the president has seen the images of the dead israelis. What h
Ambassador sondland says under oath there was no shadow. Were all bad apples, were a whole pile of bad apples, that is a watergate tape with better sound quality. R knowing trumps behavior patterns, it has been especially in new york the loudest voice gets the biggest headline and gets to drown out the truth, a story, or cover something back. He has been the president of distraction and that has really been one of the biggest marks of this presidency in addition to being the president who is the president for themselves and not thees people. What is fascinating here is it is almost like he is going back
to a play book that worked for him towo get elected. It has worked, so i think this is one of the differences with water gate. There was a time when we, the American Public, were getting all of the same information. And inio a vastly different wor now were not getting all of the same information about the facts that we should be. One thing the president is good at doing is creating his
Theres a question of what point does amending a testimony become straightup lying or perjuring one self . One said that the testimony of other witnesses helped to refresh their memories and see in new light their own experiences and will be instructive to see what volcker has to say for himself on the two key questions, quid pro quo, bribery plot, and what he was doing with Rudy Giuliani. His testimony was that he Rudy Giuliani as being a nuance and more helpful to bring Rudy Giuliani in and help him understand that he was promulgating the debunked conspiracy scenarios instead of freelance out there in ukraine. Jeff bennett on capitol hill for us, thank you very much. Joining us is democrat congressman jim himes from connecticut. Congressman, your questioning of
control knell vind man was one of the more emotional moments this morning. I wonder if you could look back to that for us this morning. Yeah. Well, it was a pretty tough moment for me. We had gotten word and sort of saw on soci
have pledged throughout the process. today will underscore a commitment he has made clear is unequivocal and will not shift any time soon. okay, phil, thank you so much and joining us is former u.s. ambassador to nato kirk volcker and chair of urban warfare studies, retired army major john spencer. great to have you here. ambassador volcker, we are 300 days into the war. president zelenskyy will soon be walking the halls of the white house. your thoughts on just the significance of this moment? well, i think this is terrific. first off if you remember back at the beginning of the phase of the conflict in february, people did not expect ukraine to survive or to prevail so for zelenskyy to be here and visiting president biden at the white house and to actually be pushing russian forces out of his country is a terrific thing. second it is important that zelenskyy knows ukraine is
people. martha: you have long fought for us to support ukraine and been alongside vladimir zelensky as he pushes for more recognition of his leadership and military support. we hope people are listening to you. ambassador volcker, i have to go to the pentagon. hope you join us again. good to have you with us. thank you. martha: so let s go back to john kirby and get into some of the questioning that we re hearing there right now. we re not in a position to call it either way. it appears the ukrainians are fighting over that town. coming out of crimea to the northeast, we know that they were advancing on mariupol in the south. we believe that advance is ongoing. we don t believe they re in the city center. we have every indication that mariupol will be defended. so they are sort of branching out if you look at crimea and go north. they re branching out to the
