12:00 am
any move in this direction would simply would not and leading to armageddon. it is a warning. a blunt one. a vivid one but a very clear warning about the stakes in the dangerous. >> i want to bring in because as phil said, i don't think there is any such thing as the ability to easily is in a weapon and not end up with armageddon. are we right to qualify this as startling? is this terrifying to hear? is it a real possibility as well? >> it certainly is. a lot of people have been concerned about this from the very beginning of the conflict.
12:01 am
the last time i observed a russian exercise in moscow or outside of moscow, they have a tendency to always and their training events with a nuclear index. it is an end of exercise. it is something they practice and something that are very comfortable with. they have never used them for real other than interest. this is something and i think it is rightfully so in my view why the biden administration has have the concern since the beginning of the conflict. >> susan glasser, the president also said that he is trying to figure out what his offramp. where does he find himselfposit lose faith but no significant power within russia? that is the president's quote. he has backed himself into a corner so how does he get out of it?
12:02 am
>> i think that is one of the words when i hear offramp and american officials talk about prudent. has shown over the last two decades that he is heedless largely of american efforts to guide him in any direction and off ramps are not appreciated. here we are a few months into the -- and in a way one of the horrific consequences we have normalized. it has produced a response from the president of the united states in which we are essentially routinely not talking about what would have been unthinkable a year ago. i think that is one problem. the other thing is that students are encouraged that despite his reverses on the battlefield, his nuclear black has encouraged the united states to be more open to seeking a settlement. that is one worry and one risk for president biden. we are in
12:03 am
uncharted territory. can you imagine having this conversation? >> look at the term of events over the last year. why do you think the president is speaking so freely about the use of nuclear weapons? >> what he was trying to do was trying to deter prudent. even if you were to use a tactical nuclear weapon it could escalate into a change into a nuclear major war . what is trying to do is he is trying to scare us. is trying to make up for the major reverses that ground forces are suffering in ukraine as we speak.
12:04 am
unless we stop supporting ukraine he may go nuclear. there is a thin line between deterring him and amplifying his threats. i am not sure it is helpful to talk about the cuban missile crisis or armageddon. when it's make clear we will not be deterred and we will stay the course and there will be unacceptable consequences from any use of nuclear weapons. we should not amplify those threats and thereby, do his bidding for him. >> to be clear, you are not a fan of the language the president use? >> understand what the president is trying to do. i am not sure some of the inflammatory language is helpful. as susan said, we are in uncharted territory.
12:05 am
explain just how bad things have gotten for russia on the battlefield. >> they are bad. they are extremely bad, exceedingly bad. i can't emphasize that enough. has failed in every strategic operational and tactical objective he has set for himself over the last seven months. in every phase of this operation. i believe we are entering phase number four. has not been successful in any of those phases. ukraine's army and military and political body has done masterful work and brilliantly executed this campaign with help of nato and the united states. the mobilization, as i have talked about multiple times is not going well. it will not go well. he cannot get 200 and forcing.
12:06 am
it doesn't have the capability to leave them, train them, mobilize them, to prepare them and even to equip them to get them to reinforce the force that is currently losing on the battlefield. they will reinforce the force with extremely low morale, extremely poor leadership at a force that hasn't accomplished any objectives as i said earlier. yes, putin is in a very bad place right now. the decision-making -- we can kind of wargame and exercise what may happen with nuclear weapons. i disagree. i think it was prudent for the president to say this. i have been at a lot of conferences and every time i am at a conference or a dinner someone says do you think the russians or who will use a nuke. you don't know. he is a lunatic. is losing very badly. you have to prepare for the worst. that is what a prudent leader does. >> that is the discussion. there are going to be people
12:07 am
who agree with what the president said or how he said it. speaking of that, if the white house would come out and walk this back they have not. it would not be the first time this has happened. no discussion from the white house about an explanation or trying to clarify what the president said tonight? >> officials said there was not going to be any follow-up statement. there was not going to be any walked back. they don't see that the president's comments and their public decision from the state department and the white house podium and the pentagon are exclusive. wall that this is a different strategy rhetorically then we have seen from his top administration officials, even from a secretary of defense or a secretary of state, this is
12:08 am
something that is very much on the mind. is no worse or more dire scenario. it is natural they would be thinking about it. we are almost at the 60 year anniversary. is a very big difference between that moment and this moment there is zero question of president putin is particularly when the forests are doing so poorly. that weighs on the president's mind. >> this reminds me of how the biden administration was reviewing information about the plans ahead of the invasion. is the president trying to unnerve or make sure he is held responsible if something does happen? is this and i told you so or is it a signal to knock it off?
12:09 am
>> certainly it is a signal to knock it off. whether it is received as such the question. certainly it is pretty hard to sleep at night when the president of the united states is warning about armageddon. right now, putin is in a very dangerous position. history of him and power suggests when he -- you have a tendency to escalate. he has broached lines in the past that other leaders have been loath to do so. he has banned nerve agents to try to assassinate regime opponents outside the country and in other countries. he has ordered assassinations. has been willing to use unconventional weapons when conventional weapons found him in the past. the risk factor has gone way up as putin has destabilized his own country from within this
12:10 am
mobilization order accents hundreds of thousands of russians fleeing. this is probably the greatest crisis of this entire two decades in office. to me, the fear is that it will lead him toward inevitable escalation. this is where being a part of the military doctrine makes it particularly concerning. >> was is in the saying is right but we need to be very weary about the scenario where is losing the war. she threatens nuclear weapons our back off and he gets to keep a big chunk to ukraine all you have to do to get the u.s. to back off is we can't allow
12:11 am
the message to be sent either. have to have the steady course but making clear we are not going to cower before his nuclear saber rattling. >> we have a military general who should respond to that. >> match to a degree is absolutely right. one of the things i keep saying is when you're a military commander or are on the battlefield, the thought is always on your mind how do i succeed. to understand the dangers in the have to plan for any considerations that might be a part of the scenario that could occur. >> thank you all. i appreciated. >> does a former president have classified documents at
12:12 am
mar-a-lago? that is what is believed. what is it going to take to get them back?
12:13 am
12:14 am
12:15 am
12:16 am
tonight, a source told the doj that they have been demanding. . national security attorney brandon moss is here and former prosecutor jimmy walden is as well. >> donald trump is bleeding to death from 1000 cuts.
12:17 am
the idea he would continue to the special master is a fantastic choice. it should have never been in the first place. there are 11,000 documents sitting there in a database that could tell the doj exactly how many other classified documents are missing. how they got there. where they meet be stored. they can't do anything because the ascending in a database and reviewed. this is the reason special master's in the circumstances are almost unheard of. that is a problem for the doj but more importantly for national security. >> we videotape about this event if they didn't know he didn't have classified documents? how do you think they know? could it be a source within mar-
12:18 am
a-lago? >> more likely than anything has to be coming from the national archives. >> i had a really good sense of what the message . the doj is pushing on this at the have a good sense. you have more and you're not telling us about it. >> trump has been told over and over again, for well over a year now, to attend class of ride documents he took from the white house. what does it say that he is still not complying?
12:19 am
the fact we're still having this conversation about whether all of the documents have been returned shows donald trump is no big surprise here, but playing it pretty fast and loose. i think it is sort of stepping back from the specifics of the report this evening and taking in the bigger picture that he is still, for al l. it is an
12:20 am
unprecedented political situation and obviously an unprecedented legal situation. >> i want to take on the form of keeper testifying the far right groups leader was in touch with the secret service in 2020. how big of a deal is that? >> i think it is a huge deal. everybody is looking for the holy grail. what is the connection between donald trump and the insurrectionist? >> must visit with secret service. what happens? right after the breach, i think winstone realized the president had not declared and insurrection . i think this is
12:21 am
great for the upcoming june 6th committee. it will tell the pipeline between the insurrectionist and trump. >> the secret service says they don't have enough information to kno w the talk a big game. it may be in a text messages that some were recovered. they were turned over. you will
12:22 am
see what comes with that with the next hearing or if it is in some of those messages. we haven't seen the connection. we have seen amount of talk. we have seen amount of talk about what they said they ha d >> to echo the previous poin t they have a habit of talking
12:23 am
invalid big game. we have to see whether there is really hard evidence to substantiate . it doesn't seem like any. >> alex, jim, bradley, thank you all. i appreciate it. circular -- listerine. feel the whoa! hi. i'm shannon storms bador. when we started selling my health products online our shipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation.
