towards campaigning come summer, early fall, not tied up with this committee. the clock is ticking. hugo one of the essential reporters on the january 6th investigation. be sure to keep an eye on this stuff. follow him on twitter. thanks to all of you for getting up way too early with us on this thursday morning. morning joe starts right now. good morning, and welcome to morning joe on this thursday, march 31st. we ve got a lot to get to this morning including the ignorance of vladimir putin. that s how u.s. officials are describing the russian leader as his advisors shield him from how badly the invasion is going. and despite vowing to scale back its offensive, russia is stepping up attacks near kyiv and other areas of the country. we re also following two big headlines out of the
of a si-ops operation in the form of the truth. the secretary of state, oh, it s too bad, they re lying to putin. we have guys inside that have been telling us stuff from the very beginning, they re lying and then, you know, he s in algiers doing that and then the pentagon spokesman, what an insult, going, yeah, unfortunately, it s dangerous because everybody around vladimir putin are lying to him because they re afraid to tell him the truth. he doesn t even know and goes on. so explain what s going on here? so this is, you know, classic information operation and remember this is something we do very well. when you walk into cia headquarters on the left a biblical verse, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. this is promulgating the truth and that is important because that s going to be our key super power. ultimately this is a coordinated campaign through the national security council and with our allies. but i think it s done for two reasons. one to get into p

we making it lead of our show? greg: if the left were brilliant at exaggerating the numbers. making it in to a catastrophe. i will give valerie jarret some credit, though. at least she was admitting when she said a country as wealthy as ours should do this, she was saying this a socialist endeavor. the left has been treating this like a hickey. denying what it is. you re working hard for that. that thing on your neck is socialized medicine. kimberly: the curling iron did that. greg: is that what you used to say? bob: she said it s right. i don t care if you call it a tax or a penalty. it is what it is. we now have insurance for every american and it s about time. it isn t socialized. greg: a country as wealthy as our, means we re paying for it. why you give blanket coverage for everybody, state-of-the-art stuff is far more expensive and you will hurt a lot of people. bob: you are paying for
