chuck, nevada. that is something that putin has said about countries should be able to act in their own best interest. national sovereignty should be respect, but let's talk about the future here. if we can outfit, because you know, china is the next number 18. can amik king pin on the world in the world and, and america is got china and it's cross hes in, in any number of regions. whether it's these coastal patrols up and down china's coast. whether it's the enormous number of american military bases of the east and southeast flank of the east coast of china as well. china is apparently in the crosshairs of america. india will soon be the 3rd largest economy in the world. perhaps india might soon be in the cross hairs of what is essentially what might call the ruling hedge i'm on. well, i have to say that, you know, i'm certainly not in the business of predicting the future, but to what use is seems quite reasonable that we do expect that again, just how the will system is that india will probably get into a competition. china, what we expect as a community is that it would probably be a boxing matc

the support of chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell as they did the same thing in the house with the same a place there. all 16 came together behind my legislation. it passed congress, and putinuilding the nord stream ii pipeline the day president trump signed my sanctions legislation into law. pipeline was dead. was dead for over a year, laying as a hunk of metal on the bottom of the ocean. then joe biden becomes president. biden became president on january 20, 2021. putin resumed deep-sea construction of the nord stream ii pipeline on january 24, 2021, 4 days later. the reason is biden signaled weakness that he intended to waive the sanctions. it was actually catastrophically stupid. in the spring of mastery in fact, did waive the sanctions. and so putin completed his pipeline. i responded by putting a hold on every single state department nominee, and they lost their minds. democrats begin screaming at me. reporters begin screaming at me. wobbly republicans began screaming at me. they planted an article in one paper that says right now, mansions in the capitals of europe are laying empty without american ambassadors. apparently they haven't met a lot of texans. if they tho

chuck schumer has said nothing to prevent these attacks on the u.s. homelands. that is why vladimir putins over there with the kremlin and felt empowered. yes, we should help ukraine but more importantly we need to have a plan for the money. if we do not, it is wasteful to the people of ukraine, harmful to people in america, including people all across new york city living in public housing for who we are posting $40 billion behind in repairs that have not occurred and has not had any real investigation by the senator who loves to talk about investigations. we need to help them, if we are not going to help them, we see money on a plan that does not exist and it is disrespectful to the people. >> if you are successful artist 180 and you get a request from the president for more aid to ukraine, what kind of conditions would you want to see on it? how would that go? >> i will ask for a plan. not just a military plan, a strategic plan. russia now has the power to turn off the lights on the people in europe because of their dependence on russian energy. what is the plan to make sure that i not

putin believes, how he sees the world. i think we make a mistake in the media when we cover those things but the scarier thing, this was a chuck. applauded. same when kari lake mocked paul pelosi. the scarier piece wasn't kari lake, it was the fact that the crowd guffawed. to tim's point and the whole conversation around extremism and radicalization, what do we do about that? >> well, you know, nicole, you know i've been on the road for a couple of months across the country, and i think one of the things that's been striking to me is to see in real time how much of this stuff is fed and fed and fed into that magabase. they are hearing the messages and they are responding to them. the applause you hear, the laughter you hear, it's a response to that. there was always a small group of particularly of republicans who were more allied with russia and with putin but it was a small group and now it has grown substantially. remember there were 57 republicans who voted against the ukraine aid package. those numbers are going to grow in a new congress. the only thing that's going to stop it is a group of republicans joined with most de

. >> and notably putin will not be at that g20 summit. peter, thanks so much. chuck todd is nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." chuck, good morning. so for all president biden saying there, yes, i expected this, i knew we were going to win you know as well i do democrats were shuddering privately just a few days ago how big the margin was going to be for republicans in the house and whether or not they perhaps maybe with some luck if everything broke their way keep the senate as well. well, they got the sen squt the house is pretty close here. what happened? >> look, i think what happened is the republican party imploded. you had a republican party that did not provide a sort of new party smell, and that's number one. when you look at previous mid-terms when the party out of power has had success, they have been -- they have said, hey, you know, don't pay attention to the one -- that party you voted out of office two years ago. we're a new and improved party. they never ran as new and improved. they ran as the same thing. in some ways trying t
