>> here is a summary. both sides are saying the same thing over and over. there is no end in sight. we don't know when this vote will happen. have a great night, everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow. good night. >> welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i'm brian, fill nothing for tucker throughout the evening. you will hear from tucker later tonight, stay tuned. the impeachment drama is dragging on and on and on in washington, d.c., i'm astounded they keep saying the same thing over and over again. the excuses are getting thinner and thinner, and why we're going through impeachment to begin with. president trump told sean hannity how washington has been trying to bring him down since he took over. remember? >> pres. trump: on inauguration day, few hours after inauguration day, saying

impeachment begins. >> the president goes exaggerating, making things up, just one article. no democrat would say that is been impeaching him since day one, would they? here is nancy pelosi, two days ago. >> one of the biggest criticisms of the process is speed the house democrats are moving. seriously -- >> speed? been going on for 22 months, 2-1/2 years, actually. >> she just admitted it. last night house judiciary chair jerry nadler admitted democrats are pursuing impeachment because it is too dangerous to let the american people pick the next president in 2020. >> why is this necessary now? why do we need to impeach the president? why not let the next election handle it? if we do not respond to president trump's abuses are power, the abuses will continue. we cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the

president threatens the very integrity of that election. >> that is interesting f. this push fails, make no mistake, democrats will find another excuse to launch another impeachment effort. al green promised as much a week ago. >> a president can be impeached more than once. so we can do this. there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president, no limit to number of times a house can vote to impeach or not, a president. there may be a possible opportunity to do other things at a later time. >> wait, it could happen three times in our history? three times after 243 years? but he wants to do it over and over again with the same president in the same term. so whether or not they are trying impeaching in the future, for now the, ukraine saga is dragging on. today was another day of hearings, democrats took turns trashing the president and republicans like leskoe firing

back. >> it continues to amaze me how corrupt, how unfair this process has been from the start. you guys have been wanting to impreach this president since he got elected. none of your fact witnesses were able to establish any evidence of bribery, treason, high crimes or misdemeanors, not one single one. this is a sham impeachment and sure is a shame. >> minewheel, debbie is getting in a twitter war with bette midler. joining me is louie gohmert, another fiery presence all day long. watch. >> rep. gohmert: we started this impeachment proceeding about the russia hoax and collusion and demanding documents about the russia collusion and it kept changing and then went to bribery and extortion.

never in history has a president been accused of crimes with target constantly changing. this is outrageous and needs to come to an end. >> they settleod abuse of power and obstruction of congress. see if we get a vote tonight. stepping out to explain what is going on, congressman louie gohmert. what has been going on for the last two days? >> rep. gohmert: it is an animal farm, it is insane, it is outrageous. i've sat through some really bad trials, as a judge, but this exceeds anything i've had to sit through. it is such an outrage. it is so ironic, too, they don't have a crime, they have had to drop every single crime they've alleged, they have nothing now, other than they have basically offended the majority in congress.

they've abused power. it is congress abusing power and how ironic joe biden would say if subpoenaed, he would defy it, he wouldn't do it. that is what this mob is trying to kick out from trump to the white house and we just took up an amendment that jim jordan had filed that said, okay, basically you say it was an unfair election in 2016, let's amend your impeachment articles to say, you're not trying to keep him from running again or being elected again. they don't want to eliminate that, that is one we've taken up. pretty clear they have been exposed. can i point out one silver lining here? i try to find some silver lining, no matter how bad it's been. we've known this was a swamp, we've known there were swamp

creatures. one of the biggest problems here in washington is figuring out who is part of the deep state, who are the swamp creatures and trump derangement syndrome is so bad, it is like when sergeant york gobbel like a turk neworld war i and germans jerked their head up, these guys have been raising their head to see who needs to be fired, who needs to be out of the swamp and we found them. >> congressman, people not watching network television in the '70s, don't remember 1998 when bill clinton admitted he lied under oath and had an affair with an intern. there is nothing here that, is where the disagreement is. you have moderate democrats not on board with this. suzanne wilder, anthony, collin peterson, alissa slotnik, mike rhoades, tom swayze, democrats not on board with this.

never seen anything like this. >> no, i've never sooen anything like it. heard about witch hunts, lynch mobs, using congressional system to destroy people that have committed no crimes whatsoever. it's just incredible to be a part of watching and knowing that we can't win these votes because the majority, it's just almost unbearable. >> 233-197, they need 217 to impeach. nobody wants to get impeached, poll wise they are losing on this. what are we going to see tonight, vote to committee to impeach? goes to the floor when? >> rep. gohmert: yeah, we don't know for sure, at some point, we're trying to clean this mess up and they are at some point going to pull question and then we'll have to vote on the

question and majority, they will end debate and vote. you know how they will vote. they have all indicated what, 17 -- 16 or 17 voted last summer to impeach him, back when they were saying it was about the russian collusion. they were ready to impeach him and that hasn't changed, never mind the facts. >> got you. congressman, bad news, you got to go back in. thanks for joining us, our audience appreciates it. lawmakers don't take to each other, they talk at each other and we watched them say the same arguments over and over again. nobody is convinced on either side. after the house, impeachment will move to senate. senate lindsey graham wants the charade to be over as soon as possible. >> what i'd like to see this over as soon as possible. i don't want to give it legitimacy, it is a crock, i want to end this as soon as

possible for good of the country. it is danger to the presidency to legitimize this. i am not interested in witnesses. this is a sham, crock, i don't want to legitimize it, i want to get it over. >> before it gets embarrassing and cost them an election, congressman mike johnson joins us from the room to our cameras, he represents louisiana. made a lot of sense trying to make progress, congressman, saw you talking all night and all day. do you think your point is getting across, you don't buy either impeachment articles? >> you know, i used to litigate cases, brian, i could gauge how we were doing by looking at faces of opposing counsel. democrats know they are losing this, losing the faith of the american people. they know entire charade, no merit to it. we have systematically taken down every argument and shown

this whole thing is truly become a circus, as you've heard many times today. i have confidence. polling will continue to go in the direction against impeachment and good reason for that. >> before christmas, we'll probably have house floor vote, tonight you are supposed to have a committee vote and then what? do you work on friday? could you get this done on friday? >> they're saying, the rumor on the hill, we might be voting on the floor on thursday, wednesday or thursday. who knows, this whole thing has been a rush job, it is part of the problem with substantative claims. one claim is the president abused his power and obstructed justice. there is no obstruction of justice when the president delays or denies subpoena from congress, it happens all the time. it happened in the obama administration and virtually every administration in the modern era. there is remedy. party issuing subpoena is supposed to go to court and let the third branch of government

decide that. this side doesn't have time for that, they promised to impeach the president by christmas, that is what is driving this, th clock. they are doing great harm to the republic brian, that is greatest outrage. >> in 31 seats, the democrats flipped him. lawmakers are getting nervous about this. you know, including some that have not committed to vote for it. the word is, congressman johnson, that nancy pelosi and leadership will not whip the vote. vote your conscious. what is the reality? >> the reality, they are reading the tea leaves, see the numbers like we do, american people are throwing their hands up, in the 11th hour of this hearing. people are going, this is it, after this, whole charade and production engineered by adam schiff and taken over by jerry nadler, presided by pelosi, this is all you have. people know this is a witch hunt. the people in this country, 63

million americans elected donald trump president. handful of democrats don't get to make the decision to remove him from office, that is not how the system works in america. we have republic. an election in 11 months, the people will decide. democrats will rue the day they did this. big mistake. >> you did homework, took them apart in your view, every step of the way and put next to their statement on impeachment. congressman ken buck said this. i will tell my colleagues, go ahead, vote to impeach president trump tomorrow, when you walk out of the hearing room, call your freshmen colleagues and tell them they are not coming back and hope they had fun. is there sense vote for impeachment cost them their political career? >> i think there is. i think you can see on some of their faces, a few freshmen on the committee, i'm watching all day long, they are struggling, they know they are in trouble. they'll pay a heavy price, the real price, the greatest tragedy about this, the one we're most

concerned about, the price the republic, this country will pay for this. they have opened pandora's box f. this goes forward, what happens to any administration, any president that makes unpopular positions, the party that has majority, if opposing him, could try to impeach him. paper-thin accusation got us here,00 i don't know how to put the genie back in the bottle. >> when his taxes come out, they will have a problem and you'll be back heres, they don't like something he did in the past, you'll be back here, that is bad for the country. democrats and republicans would admit it. bad news, you got to go back in. >> thanks a lot, appreciate your coverage. for months, democrats described president trump's actions as bribery or quid quo pro. best-selling author, that is not a coincidence, phrase is

removed. she says, because if democrats talk too many about bribery, they could end up ensnaring joe and hunter biden. author of resistance at all costs, how trump voters are breaking america. she joins us now. two articles of impeachment, don't mention quid quo pro, what do you mean? >> it was funny, we saw articles of impeachment, we called it, honey, we shrunk the impeachment because listen, for months now, we've been listening to extortion, quid quo pro, lecturing on proper definition of bribery, which was something removed from all statutes or history of the country, but the way they had to define it in order to pack it into what they say donald trump did. suddenly it disappears and this is because someone in the democratic party realized, if you expand the definition the

way they did and say any time any politician asks for something from another country in way that might benefit them in some way, their own party would be implicated. >> kimberly, i spoke to high-ranking trump official today to get their view on impeachment, he says, it is really working for us, in terms of money raised and in terms of the as you mention, shrinking articles. what they worry about is october and november. are you really going to re-elect an impeached president. do you think that is a legitimate worry? >> no, i don't, actually. here is why. for the same reasons that the democrats have not succeeded in impeachment and not convinced majority of americans that this was impeachablea offense, that is not necessarily going to resonate more strongly in october or november. or it is certainly not going to resonate equally with the president's ability to say, look at what they did to me, do you want people like that running the country.

>> on the radio show today, i played lindsey graham sound byte, he said, i'm not looking for a long trial, in and out, i'm not calling joe biden, hunter biden, we'll do it some other time. people are mad, republicans want their story out and a president wants his story out, he wants witnesses on his side, counsel on his side, the majority in control of the hearings, the rules and regulations. is the president right or is lindsey graham right? >> so i'm not going to say who is right. i will say this, i understand that desire to have their own chance to get their own back, all right, but in politics sometimes you got to make decisions with your head over your heart and one of the problems with that, it gives legitimacy to what has been illegitimate process and i would argue the senate would send a stronger message by saying let's have a motion to dismiss, we will not treat seriously

impeachment proceeding held in secret that leaked stuff and didn't give president's counsel or republicans right to participate or call witnesses. >> i don't think i have to tell you this, we have usmca on the launch pad, china deal phase one ready, great job numbers, great manufacturing numbers and the president actually is doing the best he can and seeing break with iran. arguably our number one enemy in the world. a few things going right for him. kimberly strassel, thank you. barack obama has shows on netflix, hillary clinton is doing content for hulu, why does her documentary look like campaign ad? we'll discuss that with mark stein next, we'll continue our coverage, which is splitting the screen right now, the impeachment hearing. stay tuned, don't move. ♪

>> brian: barack obama is getting paid millions to produce content for netflix. naturally hillary clinton wants to do the same thing, kind of, she can't do it quite as well. instead of netflix, she has to settle for hulu. this streaming service is releasing documentary series on hillary's 2016 campaign. it looks like a campaign ad. >> her greatest strength is her

greatest weakness. >> she's so smart, people believe there is some deviousness. >> i provoke strong opinions. what you see is what you get. if i said back up, you creep. would i sound angry? >> one of the most admired and vilified women in american history. >> somebody is asking what do you want on your grave stone, i said, she's neither as good or bad as some people say about her. >> brian: is this look back at old campaign or sneaky ad for a future campaign that could start any day? mark steyn is columnist, deep thinker and guest hosts on this show. when tucker pulls a hamstring and i'm not doing this. mark, are you thinking what we're thinking, looks like a campaign? >> mark: yeah, why wouldn't she want to get back in the race? if you follow the logic of the last three years through the

russian investigation and colluding with ukraine and the impeachment articles, the logic behind them, she is rightfully the president and if that is the case, and the democrats have been so exercised as to impeach the guy over nothing, then why wouldn't she get back in the race, particularly when the so-called front-runner is as feeble and weak on the stump as joe biden is and all the young ones, the ones under 67, have flopped like kamala harris. >> brian: under 77. biden over warren, sanders, buttigieg. where is hillary clinton in there? guess where she is? >> mark: hillary would do well initially on name recognition and fact joe biden is doing so badly. the same time, she would

energize the opposition because she would be the face of the obstructionism of the last 3-1/2 years. we just saw in the united kingdom today, eventually the people rise up against the guys who obstructed the result of the last vote. >> brian: couple things, in a poll when asked if she joined the race, where would she be? 21%. joe biden 20. and buttigieg five. couple things, hulu does good work, pretty slick ad, very open and honest interview with one of the best in the business, if not one of the best ever, howard stern, not a trump hater, but doesn't think he should be president. hillary clinton seems to be on path that is not blocked. keep in mind, mike bloomberg rationalized getting in. this whole story has been swamped by impeachment, swamped by the ukraine. we're about to have a debate, we don't know who is on the stage.

i don't know what network is covering it. we used to stop everything and do preview and post games, what is going on, mark? >> mark: basically a candidate called impeachment is leading as far as democrats are concerned. there is mythical candidate called mr. i am impeachment guys think can take out trump. i don't believe that is where the energy on the base is. if you look at it, all indicators, including ratings at msnbc and the lack of interest in impeachment by the hipsters, like alexandria ocasio-cortez and uma, and the cool kids in the democrats, impeachment is ana obsession of democrat swamp creatures and the corrupt-crat establishment like bidens and clintons. >> brian: interesting, while impeaching, the president got a space, got him pretty good jobs

numbers, some great economic numbers and might have beginning of phase one trade deal with china. people said that was impossible, usmca, market through the roof, a lot going on. mark steyn, final thought? >> mark: you imagine the first time he would have had without the russia investigation and without all the other obstruction, that is what we'll never know. >> brian: absolutely. watch horowitz and read the 19-page summary, it never should have happened. investigation shouldn't have taken place. >> mark: never, disgraceful. >> brian: you are not, it is great to see you. jersey city on monday, this is ugly, two shooters killed four people in mass shooting motivated by anti-semitism and hatred. congressman rashida tlaib knew who to blame, people of a certain skin color. rashida tlaib tweeted this, this is heartbreaking, white supremacist kills. the view at it again, joy behar

scrambled to agree. >> it left six people dead. you will concede the white nationalists have been let out of their hole? . the liar in chief is spouting this stuff, he's the one. >> brian: white nationalist? the shooting wasn't by white nationist or white supremacist, the shooting was two african americans who had ties to black israelite movement, it is fringe religious group that is sympathetic to and you might have seen, they were enjoying harassing the kofington high school student body at the march for life. robby swabb, editor of reason and panic attack in the age of trump, he joins us now. robby, what is your take on her take? >> right, first horrific tragedy

and my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. i think it is really sad and despicable to see some in the media try to spin this to slot it into a political narrative that far right white nationalism is responsible for existential to the country and implicitly they say this is trump's fault, he's encouraging this. of course, that is wrong and specifically it was two black nationalists who had some connection to this annoying obnoxious group that shouts obscene things mostly at people on the streets, especially during the covington incident. politically motivated killing by white nationalists, terrible when it happens, but very rare, talking about hundreds over the past two decades. this is not common and it is

wrong to scare people into thinking it is regular, it is frequent and caused by trump, that is wrong. >> brian: detective joe seals, father of five, shot in the head and killed. six shot overall. the quote from the, not the white nationalists, but black hebrew rightite, dave anderson, i do this because my creator makes me, i hate who he hates. they arrive with long guns and hit a kosher deli, this is a horrific thing you expect to see in a movie, instead we label them white nationalists. we find out they are not, why bring it up, change the subject. >> i know they are trying to make it a larger story that is not true, they are scaring people. i don't recommend, this group exists, they are not particularly dangerous, despite this happening, mostly they yell harassing things at people. i would not be calling for new

policy to surveill this group. the left does do that when there is some connection to white nationalism. i testified before congress on this issue and i'm urging us to put these things in context a little bit. we're a big country and get along for the most part, it is terrible and we should come together when things like this happen. we don't need to make it a political narrative that blames trump for something that is not a thing. >> brian: another reason not to watch joy behar, put the sound up when she speaks. robby soave, thanks so much. dram taking place on capitol hill. congresswoman railing against the process earlier today, joining us, calling this a sham impeachment, we could get a vote tonight from that sham impeachment. we'll discuss it with this congresswoman in just a moment, don't move. >> not sure if the hearing is bad on this end, undoubtedly it is. i did not say no one died.

>> brian: impeachment drama unfolding on capitol hill. we wrote that lead three weeks ago, i could use it everyday. we should be finding out when democrats plan on final vote. congressman debbie lesko has strong thoughts and she voiced them earlier today. >> rep. lesko: it just continues

to amaze me how corrupt, how unfair this process has been from the start. you guys have been wanting to impeach this president since he got elected. none of your fact witnesses were able to establish >> brian: congresswoman, that was you earlier today. for people that worked, had two jobs, dropped kids off at soccer practice, can you explain what you accomplished? i'll write it down. go ahead. >> rep. lesko: i tell you what, nothing has changed, the president has not done one thing impeachable. the democrats do not have one witness that came forward to prove that the president did anything impeachable, we keep

repeating the same thing. after a while, we keep hearing our democratic colleague say the president did crimes and everything, they haven't put forward one crime in the articles of impeachment that the president committed, there is no crime. you know, once in a while, i have to let off steam and tell them what i think. >> brian: right. congresswoman, we know this, two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. they say moderates push leadership not to include anything from the mueller report, drilling down on these two things, not talking to each other, talking at each other shchlt we expect a vote tonight in committee? >> rep. lesko: i sure hope so. this thing has been going on since 7:00 last night. then we reconvened this morning at 9 a.m. and it is still going strong. we're still talking. the democrats are talking, republicans, i hope we're going to vote tonight. who knows, it might go into

tomorrow, we will go after midnight. then it will go to the rules committee. we will eventually vote this out of here, tonight, early morning, tomorrow, then goes to committee. i serve on the rules committee, so i get to do this all again. >> brian: you came and talked to us, this is going on on the inside, the circus continues. i looked down and prepared and you are in twitter fight with bette midler. what are you doing? >> rep. lesko: my life is so surreal. when i found out that bette midler tweeted about me, we just had to respond. we made a little fun about it saying that the wings, what is it -- >> brian: wind beneath my wings. >> rep. lesko: wind beneath my wings, deflated or she's full of hot air, we had fun with it. had a little twitter spat going on.

>> brian: right, she says this, debbie lesko of arizona grandstanding big time, blame the dems, don't blame criminals of the white house. his own action, own words led him to this day, he's a fake installed birussia. maybe richard nixon was not a crook, but this guy is. take that. >> rep. lesko: yeah, pretty dramatic, she called me a gal. i called her a gal back. we had fun with her and, you know, we'll see if she tweets back at me. >> brian: i admire you talking all day, all night and smiling with us, wish it wasn't so serious, we're talking impeachment, have you moderate democrats who are not on board, that is unprecedented. congresswoman lesko, have you to join your two colleagues and go back to work. >> rep. lesko: i sure do. boy, i wish i could go home and go to sleep. the you know, this nightmare continues. >> brian: it does. thank you, good luck on the rules committee, too. we'll see if we have a vote tonight. we have impeachment drama

unfolding tonight, as you just saw. you will learn everything you need to know here, no need to flip around. >> we are doing the right thing and i support the articles of impeachment, i yield back. >> young lady yields back.

>> brian: i'm brian kilmeade, fill nothing for tucker. we are tracking the impeachment hearing on capitol hill. prowling capitol hill all day long, been in this hearing room all day long. if you want to know anything going on, chad knows it. chad, with pressure on your shoulders, i ask you this, what is going on? they are saying the same thing over and over again for two days. you told me in the break this might last through midnight? >> absolutely. mark ups on big bills and articles of impeachment last a

long time. they had a mark up on obama care in 2009 that entered 4:00 in the morning. articles of impeachment, you could see going pretty late, as well. what they have been debating for five amendments republicans proposed to the two articles of impeachment and some point later tonight, there will be a vote on both of those articles of impeachment and they will move them to the house floor, presumably next week sometime, brian. >> brian: are the amendments worth discussing or a way to slow down the process? >> some are technical. first offered by jim jordan, a substitute amendment, you take out the text of one of the existing articles of impeachment and replace it. a lot of them have been kind of very narrow, stuff about the bidens and none of them are going to pass when they vote on the amendments later tonight. >> brian: we know this, pure numbers, 431 members, you got 217 needed to pass. you have two didn't vote for inquir inquiry, have not shown they

will vote for impeachment on the democratic side. i count seven or eight others that have not committed to vote. how is this unlike past impeachments? >> i could have democrats from swing districts, vulnerable democrats will not announce their position until right before. this is one of the defining votes of their careers and also defining vote of this congress. you could see some democrats maybe vote yes on one article of impeachment and vote yes on the other. they will say, i don't vote for all articles of impeachment. republicans could turn that against them and they could say, you did vote for articles of impeachment, that is a problem in some swing districts. >> brian: i remember, sure nancy pelosi thought shy would get republican buyin, so far the number is zero. >> not necessarily. yeah. nancy pelosi, she's a pretty good vote counter, she knows she could probably move this with

democratic members. as you point out, other impeachments, have you had people across the aisle, that was not the case with president clinton, back in 1998. you had people vote for starting the inquiry on the republican side of the aisle in 1998, that is different. this will go on for a while. here is the reason, brian, you hear the phrase, we've heard it hundreds of times today, strike the last word. what that means, gives each member five minutes to talk about every single amendment for proposal. >> brian: wow, chad pergram will have a lot of red bull tonight, see if collins will let you borrow a bottle. >> i just got my coffee. congratulations. >> brian: thanks so much. ned ryan, founder and c.e.o. of american majority, i got to get ned's response on this. they will vote tonight, two votes, go to rules committee and decide when they will bring it

to the floor. at which time, some point, when it passes and it is supposed to pass, the senate will get it. lindsey graham indicates no long trial, in, out, done. that does not please the president. who is right? >> the president. it doesn't please me, either, brian. donald trump, after massive abuse of him over the last three years, everything done, the f.b.i. investigation, the mueller investigation, the democratic investigation. i don't want to use the term investigation, those were attempts at cover-up, witch hunts, attempts to undermine the president of the united states. his rights have been massively abused, he deserves the right to due process, his day in court and his witnesses. for lindsey graham and others to say they don't want to have witnesses at a senate trial, why do you call it a trial if there are not witnesses? i want every last witness donald trump wants to be called in for senate to compel them to be part of the senate trial. brian, watching this the last

few weeks, they call this impeachment and impeachment inquiry, what they are calling it. i don't want to call it that, that implys constitutional order and nothing that the democrats have done over the last year is constitutional. they have denied the will of the american people. they have denied peaceful transfer of power, set themselves above the constitution and in the process, massively abused, not only carter page and george george papadopoulos and paul mannafort, the president of the united states and the american people deserve to have a real trial with all the witnesses. >> brian: you are with the president on this and not with the chairman of the judiciary committee of the senate. >> no. >> brian: thanks so much. we have more impeachment coverage coming up after the break, don't move, a lot of histories being made. see here. >> that is why you are trying to impeach him, that is why you have tried all kinds of theories that have all fallen.

stock footage, not library stuff. the house judiciary committee could vote on articles of impeachment before the night is out, in fact it's expected. greg steube joins me now come out of florida. he's in the committee hearing, serving on that committee. congressman, how would you describe what's been taking

place there tonight? today? >> we've been there since 9:00 a.m. this morning. i will say that we have the version of the facts and the democrats are using their talking points. obviously no one's opinion is going to be changed on the facts and its one side speaking their talking point and us talking about the facts of this case, the democrats are trying to bring abuse of power and obstruction of congress, things that aren't even in the constitution under what you can impeach a president for. a lot of us have taken time to talk about how challenging this is and how opposed we are to it as republicans. >> these two articles, not talking anything with the mueller probe, not talking about anything with bribery, talking about abuse of power of congress and pushing back at it. when it came to ukraine to fight back against the russians, that's where the rubber hit the road for you. tell us what happened? >> having served in the military

and serving for operation iraqi freedom in a combat theater, myself and mr. collins took great reproach to some of the comments. some of the democrats stating because of the aid did not get there in the three weeks it was delayed, ukrainians died at the hand of russians because they did not get the aid in time. it's absolutely ridiculous to think that aa did not get to the ukraine, ukrainians died because president trump did not get the aid they are in a three week period of time. for people that served and people who served our country, it's absolutely appalling that the democrats would stoop to such lobe grounds to bring in the fact that oh, because this aid was delayed for a couple of weeks, that ukrainians died at the hands of the russians and it's president trump's fault. >> trying to heal what's going on between the two countries. clearly russians are aggressive in trying to beat up on the american still in crimea. important for zelensky to know
