is amazing is very energetic. like the energy in the room was incredible. i get that uh, taking another wife like another. so my old but not to a white guy. i don't know how much. the public knows about walls outside of those that live in minnesota, protecting a person rides, protecting l g b t q. i writes legalizing cannabis and paid uh you know, leave and, and then universal school lunches. he's one of the most radical liberals in this country. also coming up a state of emergency and rushes course to region. most scale says ukraine has

launched a major cross border attack a steve ski. here's the key for a shame, has undertaken none of the large scale provocation, conducting indiscriminate shooting from various types of weapons, including missiles that civilian buildings, residential buildings with them to our viewers watching on tv, as in the united states and of all of you around the world welcome. we begin today with the democratic parties. new would be white house do this week, vice president campbell of harris announced the most important decision in her campaign to become the next us president in november. the person who will be her vice presidential running mate. his name is tim walls and he is governor of the state of minnesota. was, was in the group of candidates, but he was not reported to be in the core group of final list which for pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and arizona senator mark kelly. all that changed

last weekend as harris began making her decision. what was it about was that gave him the whinny edge in a moment. i'll ask another man for minnesota what he thinks, but 1st, this report on the harris walls ticket for the white house. so tim has an incredible record as governor of the great state of minnesota and to those who know him better, tim is more than a governor to his wife when he has a husband too. as kids hope and gus he is bad too. as federal fellow veterans, he is sergeant major wall, the good people in southern minnesota for 12 years. he was a congressman who is former high school students. he was mr. was ad is

former high school football players. he was coach the and in 90 days the nation will know coach was by a new title. the my 1st year's tonight is like jim was a man who calls minnesota home. and unlike jim was a man whose political home used to be the republican party. richard painters served as the chief white house ethics lawyer under us president george w bush. she su donald trump for ethics, violations of 2017 and left the g o. p. one year later, mister painter joins me to night from yarmouth, port in massachusetts. mister painter, it's good to see you again and there's

a lot going on a lot to talk about. cumberland harris is chosen. minnesota governor kim was as her v p running may tell me what does a fellow minnesota, what does he have to say about that? as well, tim was been gover, minnesota for 6 years. i don't always agree with him. i'm a former republican and i share many of the views of the republican body before donald platt rose to power. but the 2 miles represented, one of the more conservative districts in minnesota for 12 years in the united states congress as a democrat. and this is a district uh that the republicans won in the last. ready section by 11 per savage points, a very conservative 1st congressional district, the minnesota. so tim also store is by no means a radical leftist when it became gover. minnesota,

with the support of the democratic former labor for english controls, both houses of the state legislature. he did uh help push over through some legislation which could be view. ready as quite progressive what that being said uh tim loss is a political realist. mm hm. yeah. and he understands all that. what gets done is what gets done back just at the will. the president of the vice president are states most of the will congress. and he's been in congress for 12 years, and i would think that he could be quite effective as a vice president for pamela or mr. ben. or do you agree that tim was um, will become the push that undecided voters in battle ground states need to cast their vote for combo la harris as well. the advantage of uh time wires, choosing 10 walls, he is a midwesterner, he's originally from nebraska, but i've lived in minnesota for many decades. his wife's from minnesota. busy and

he's represented the state of minnesota and also i've been governor. uh, we need a midwest center uh in the white house. uh certainly, uh the president of camel harris, if she does get elected president, she's from san francisco. uh no, that's fine. um. but we also need a midwest center uh close to uh, the positions of power and the united states and vice president is very, very good. that's going to feel to midwesterners walk and feel left out. particularly with the democratic party, which has a lot of strength in east coast and west coast, but not so much in the mid west. outside of the very large tim was he was governor in 2020, with the george floyd ryans took place republicans. they've accused him of waiting too long to call the national guard to protect public buildings and businesses. they are also putting him in, in the progressive lift category of those who want to define police departments. you put your posted something on x that caught my attention. i'm gonna pull that up

for our viewers to see you posted. no, tim was, is not anti police. only an idiot would want to abolish the police or to fund the police. there are a few idiots in minnesota, but tim walt is not one of them. he wants to reform the police, we can and must fight racism corruption and crime at the same time i hear what you're saying, mr. painter. but do you see this as the political, achilles heel of tim was that donald trump will target as well as far as donald trump is going to target uh, 10 balls, right? i mean, he can, but there's certainly no evidence that 10 walls wants to bar. so police, are they fund the police? i would like to see more of finding a police in minnesota and we presently out of the city. minneapolis is definitely run by a bunch of left us who have interfered with the work at the minneapolis police department. uh now that being said that the police officer murdered george floyd

was a violent a racist in balloons. in prison. we need to support the police. we also need to fight racism in policing and call for police reform. and the governor of law says, never ever call for deep bonding, the police are abolishing the police. that's a very small group of people, extreme left wingers of love and don't even vote for the democrats that are looking for socialism, marxist or somebody else to support us. of course, you'll be also be accused of that, but there's just no evidence to back that up. do you think that we will see a televised debate between the vice presidential candidates, tim waltz and j. the vance? do you think we should see one or? well, you certainly should say one. i think all the candidates, major debate and donald trump nice to the bike, pamela harris, and not just insist that the device they on fox news. uh,

one of the major networks abc and they say, you said they ask that host that a bite uh there needs to be several device uh, with the presidential candidates and the vice presidential candidate rights. so the american people can see what they're getting. you know, the u. s. presidential campaigns are criticized for being too long and too expensive. and i know you're an outspoken critic of the role that big money plays in campaigns. reform money wise is not on the horizon, but this campaign sees it. it is definitely a shorter one due to jo biden's departure just last month do. do you get a sense that there, do you feel of a national collective side that this campaign will only be 2 or 3 months instead of 24 months of paper? certainly very 2nd of a long campaigns and all the money and the dark money funding, the attack, and on all sides of the political spectrum. and we have our supreme court. thanks

for that because they've struck down the campaign finance reform legislation. well, several, the justices are sitting on yachts with bank. i may ask, but the american people want to get this election over with. and i think motors are more more aware of how big money tries to influence both of the major political bodies at the selection of candidates and none of their policies wants their alexis . so i've got 2 questions for you to wrap things up about the, the state of the republican party and the question about the state of the american mind of the 1st one, donald trump's grip on the g. o. p. is it strong today as it was in 2016? will that ever change in your opinion or will the party in with trumps the box? i think the republican boarders are getting very tired or donald trump. let's see how he does in this election. he made very well be biased to,

to lose. he doesn't want it to bite cam lara's. uh, and he's using various strategies to avoid it or buy it. he loses. i think the republican voters are finally going to realize that they've been taken by the con man from new york city, the washer per town, but he somehow, or a friend of middle america. well, in fact, he's rarely been to many parts of middle american certainly have no interest in middle america before you became a candidate for president. so i believe the republican party will survive donald trump. i may some day return to the republican body. but for now, we've got donald trump in the driver's seat and he's come with the shops. he's driven people out of republican ball type, so you don't support him on the i think it's a very bad situation in the short term with the republican party survived in your opinion, if it, the next generation were led by a j. d. vance. well, j

d vans has its own difficulties. he's embrace the political extremism on a wide range of issues. most voters of who i know who wanna move republican don't want government people's business. yeah. telling people what to. and if we've got government telling women when they can have a child or try to regulate birth control or to people who they can marry, all of that of the extreme right wing a social agenda that is embrace by today's republican body. a lot of a more libertarian voters are, are just gonna walk away from that. so there needs to be a serious discussion about whether the republican party truly stands for less government, less government interference, less government regulation, or whether they just want to be a big government full on a, uh, advancing just a different type of the government agenda. let me get to the 2nd question that i promised you about maybe the state of the american mind. there were other

contenders for the vice presidential spot. they included um, pennsylvania governor josh of shapiro and the current us transportation secretary p booted. you know, they were both white men, but shapiro is an outspoken supporter of israel. and buddha jake is an openly gay man in 2024 america. are those the qualities that still or now now make you an electable, being jewish, being a supporter of israel and or being a homeless extra you know i, i think 1st of all the vast majority of americans, the big people support is. well, we don't necessarily agree with these rarely government benjamin that yahoo and all the policies are these rarely government. but we've had a close relationship with israel for many decades. and i don't see that changing at all. those who do not believe is really have the right to exist as

a jewish state or to find any extremist minority of the far right in the far left. uh so i don't think that's a problem for governorship payroll. you'd only been governor of pennsylvania. i believe for a year and a half and then serve in the state legislature a 10 walls had a much more extensive resume. and also i do think once again, it's very important to have a midwesterner on the ticket. if you have a ticket that consisted of someone from uh, philadelphia, a shapiro, garbage repairs from the philadelphia area, and someone from san francisco. i think middle america couldn't think of left day on a peak, but a judge was mayor of south bend, indiana, but did not advance to state politics in indiana, an ultra conservative state. many ways. he's been a good transportation secretary, but once again to run him for president or vice president united states and really appears to be too soon. and he doesn't have a strong geographic base including in his home state of indiana. and what tim was,

on the other hand, has a very strong geographic base through the midwest. that's not just minnesota and wisconsin, michigan, and he has a lot of appeal to traditional midwest centers. and i think that's the reason he was cho. ready and americans would have nothing of no problem with having a jewish president or vice president. and i don't think americans will elect any president who does not support our alliance with israel. that doesn't mean once again that will with the free with the is really government. mr. richard painter, as always, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. so thank you. now to the war in ukraine and the russians president by the way of boots and he's accusing ukraine of a large scale provocation after law scale, says ukraine watched a cross border attack into russia. russia's army chief,

it says, up to a 1000 ukrainian troops crossed into the coursed region in south western russia and advanced towards the city of suits. thousands of civilians were evacuated from the area. russia released footage. what it says are ukrainian tanks and military vehicles on russian territory. moscow said that it watched air and artillery fire power to rebuild the attack. if confirmed it would be the largest cross border incursion by ukrainian troops since the start of the war. ukraine has not commented on the claims made by russia and from where now i want to bring in frank lead, which he's a senior electra in strategic studies at portsmouth university. he is also a former u. k. military intelligence officer who joins we denied from oxford in england. frank, it's good to see you again, ukraine tonight. very silas is this a major attack like russia is saying? it's all going to be branch. depends on the scale you're talking about. what's

quite remarkable here is it looks very much like a mirror policy. russian concave offensive. that will remember from me about 3 months ago now, which is actually still going on. we're looking at the same amount. we'll talk to a larger amount of taxi taken and possibly the same sort of full scale of policy used by the ukrainians as the rest of it to use in the khaki of a pensive. so it does seem to be a major in cushion as we speak. ukrainians have taken nearly, i think, 300 square kilometers and that's still pushing us. the latest reports, the russians call that nature a major and caution. it looks like a brigade rushing says the 22nd mechanized brigade, which is quite story though. the last couple of days i experienced recently have significant reinforcements of electronic move that which they announced quite quite interestingly, plus or another couple of fatalities. so we're looking here,

probably $3.00 to $5000.00 soldiers involved in the whole operation. i'd say this is not simply a rate, it looks like something more than that. why would you crane what would it watch? a major operation like this is difficult to say. there are 2 major possibilities. the 1st is that they are currently or, and they are the early stages of something that's been in the arrow a little bit over the last few weeks. and hence a bit from you training. come on route, most of what amounts to a surprise counter offensive. i think it's a bit early for that, but it's possible as the 2nd possibility is it's a, it's a diversion for even larger a salt somewhere else. some science operational tools operate, the sample problems operated, the song around the nuclear power station. we'll see about that. and i the way

it looks as if the ukrainians are trying to take ground off the russians, preferably of course, in russia to provide themselves some leverage. perhaps against negotiations, which i hope will be with the russians, a peace conference and around the time of the us elections in november. so there are a number of could, could be a resist flowing together if you like. that give some logic to what otherwise might just say my a rather strange thing to do. yeah. what we'll talk me through that then. so this, this, an attack is i'm a preview of, of what, or is planning pre planning of what peace negotiations are or, i mean, so we're, we've got an attack that's going to lead possibly to an end to this conflict. is that what you're saying? this is the lead ski would like the russians present in november. so the next piece, conferences 0 not, but they're not as russian. so the chinese tugged up at the last one,

i hope is the russians. will it the next one, which will certainly be advocating of negotiation, whether, whether that will result in anything snyder who, who knows it's crystal balls, stuff causes the selections, which is a form of strategically important occasions by the way, it makes sense for the ukrainians to, to to, to set the state to complete the like, or at least set, set the set, the grounds for having something to give. now if they hold a few 1000 square miles of russian territory at that point, which is rather doubtful, i think policemen come on to if you like the right and that gives them something to bunk. it with knots. what some of the, let's just say, say it makes sense to me. now the another i think is less plausible. if this is the reasons i don't think it makes sense, is that it is that the, that the ukraine is a trying to drill rushman forces from the southern front, south, suddenly east in front of the not make sense. the tubs of the balance of benefits on either side. yeah, it's estimating the of what could be, you know, the impetus of this attack. do we know?

was there any suggestion that something like this might happen, or as it called russia completely off guard. this has been a suggestion of it's in the sense that as i said, that there's been this of the app and it continues to be and i that of that brought you credit is a planning some form of counter attack. i top of the out the non profit, something very big. we're looking at here off the divisional side. the also the 2nd part of the question was the rest is ready for absolutely not. no defense. there's these, these forces call through the russian bordered show to order spread out on 2 or 3 axes. now now are the advancing towards are actually in the village offices in the profit. so the last of coast, what that, what will happen, those that got to come up, the guys prepared russian projections, which shot their i'm likely to rates in the near future. but what we all saying is, i know defended border, exploited by surprise. no question about that by few 1000 ukrainian soldiers. let's see if they have the forces ready to exploit those advances. why do they even want

to? it's conceivable. they might just dig it and say ok, now get us up front. do we have any indication of what type of ukranian troops are involved here? i mean, we've, we've seen ukrainian militias comprised of russian citizens launching attacks inside russia before. so that's nice. and you to locate clothes about the, to the cousins into the belgrade region, which is to the south of this one. this is kind of towards ca, square the cost of last year capital, which is the city of coast and the cost to place the great. but to the 2nd world war, and this however, is full of full ukrainian brigade plus a couple of times. these aren't russian irregulars or decisions, or gangs of on demand like, as the russians would describe belgrade and cousin. this is a prop of mechanized brigade, well trained, experienced, well equipped with what we've seen so far, it's much more serious. i mean, any,

anything happens in belgrade before? now, what's the main search? we'll see. so the, the russians have mobilized ground forces, not giving me the paintings a hard time for the arrow from drugs as we speak. adults, hillary, that will be contra tax. it may well be would be good but, but this is a very different thing from a belk running cousins early this year. not last year. i mean, it sounds like this could be an event that would a give the ukrainian military possibly some good news to bring home from the battlefield. and how badly does ukraine need? they're considering the problems that they're having with recruiting soldiers at the moment. yes, this looks a bit very much like they, they cock is offensive at late 2020 to doesn't. it was a relatively small ukrainian schools. scott stood poorly. uh the very few russian forces, but kind of great the loud. what, okay, here, a couple of 100 square kilometers. now, when you look at it on the map, it doesn't look that great, but it's very significant the context of this war or so it is good news for this.

no doubt about it. however, if you are fighting on the shaky southern and eastern fronts now down into the house cadets, you may be thinking, you know what, we need those streets here to show up the defenses. but clearly the pain training come onto the see an advantage here. they saw an opportunity and we'll see if they reinforce that opportunity over the next few, few weeks or days or even hours. it's likely in mind you, by the way, this will come to something of what we see of the russian russians day towards khaki by the holding on to a chunk of ukraine. entire tree guides fairly superior and not, not location, ukrainian forces. it may well be that we'll see that mirrored in cost. it will help him ukrainians hold onto the defensive positions in russia. not in itself is quite remarkable in a doubted. it will do no harm to you, probably tomorrow. and as you say, you may give the ukrainians a little bit more to have in their pocket if indeed they do end up sitting down at the negotiating table to end this more than what they're an analyst,

frank like which frank is always. we appreciate your analysis. thanks. thanks but or you're watching the date. we will see you right here tomorrow. thanks for the company. provide the
