Hope you had a grand weekend. Im bill hemmer live in new york. Hello to you. Dana good morning to you. We want to hear more about your weekend and americas best kept secret. I didnt give it away. I gave it a tease. Im dana perino. This is americas newsroom. The u. S. Navy was forced to react in what is being called as a blatant act of aggression. Military activists say the combined flotilla is, perhaps, the largest to approach u. S. Soil. They point out the maneuver was no mistake with moscow and beijing taking advantage of the Biden Administrations setbacks overseas. This is a very dangerous situation, and ive said since the beginning of the war in Eastern Europe between ukraine and russia the real danger of what the Biden Administration is blundering us towards is a closer union between the two great powers of the Urasian Land Mass which are russia and china. Its really the one thing that we cant allow to happen in terms of larger geopolitics. Bill sets us up live in the northwest bu
on the asteroid. i was telling alex before when we were talking about this, when i kept hearing this incredible story yesterday about smashing into the asteroid, come on, what was i thinking. i was thinking aerosmith i don t want to miss a thing, hear the news story i don t want to close my eyes it was incredible. willie, stop him. a sappy summer movie. they tried to do this last night. you got bruce. you throw affleck in there, mika, if you don t know what we re talking about, this was a huge movie 25 years ago, with the plausible plot they trained oil drillers in a matter of days to become nasa astronauts and effectively do what we saw yesterday in real life, they knocked a rocket with a ship the size of a refrigerator, they knocked an asteroid off its course yesterday, nasa did this in real life. no liv tyler, now they know if something is barrelling toward earth, they have a decent chance of knocking it away. scientifically, the movie, i don t think it w
Critical front in the new cold war. if russia wins, that will be a huge victory not just for russia but for china. if putin loses, it is a blow against the soviet anning axis that is emerging against us. if we want to deter china from getting us into a war in the pacific where american forces will have to fight, we have to help ukraine. dana: that will be an issue. but the issue leading up to that debate is what s dominating the news and that s president trump. the legal indictments against him and how that takes up a lot of attention for everyone, actually. all of us. and here are a couple of the g.o.p. candidates talking about how they want to move on from president trump. watch here. there s an entire industry built around commenting on president trump. and i ll just leave it to the pundits. when we re out talking to voters in iowa and new hampshire, they re not asking about the indictments. what we should be focused on
American democracy for quite some time. it s really something, mika, that you have donald trump and vladimir putin who sort of have been connected in the news over the past five, six years, both of them are now facing their own crises. the only difference is right now vladimir putin facing a crisis, a real meltdown in russia, with dire consequences, not just for the russian people and the ukrainians but possibly the entire world. this is a country that has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world, and i know speaking of 25 years ago, we were all very concerned on the armed services committee about nuclear proliferation, where the former soviet union s nuclear weapons would find their way into what terrorist s hands. you know, let s hope we done approach that moment, but this unfortunately is not as simple as putin loses, we win.
