then you have a new government led by poroshenko.was an oligarch, better than the previous guy, said he was going to root out corruption, he put in a prosecutor general who didn't move fast at all. so all of us in the obama administration were like, hey, poroshenko, you said you were going to reform this government, your prosecutor general is not moving fast enough. probably because poroshenko also was a little afraid of making the changes he had to make. that's why we now have zelensky the 41-year-old entertainer who has never been a politician because the ukrainian people said forget it we don't even want poroshenko who was better than the russian crony we want this new young guy. >> now this new young guy is under pressure from the president of the united states to play ball and those were the words in the whistle-blower report, or you don't get help fighting russia. it's pretty extraordinary stuff. evelyn fark us, thank you very much. >> thank you, joy. >>> the silence that you hear, do you hear it? that's the republican party. t

and the pace no previous president mr poroshenko if the current authorities begin their political path from. prosecutions against the opposition nothing good is going to come out of this as far as i understand there is opposition in the parliament which wields a great deal of support and trust. of the voters which was confirmed here in the elections so it would be very strange if the authorities decided to ram. and produce. tire rules the opposition is not taking to the streets they are not trying to violate the legislation or the constitution and i think it would be a mistake if attempts were made to prevent them from exercising their rights under the constitution. very briefly it would touched upon an issue that is very important to everyone present here that sees here iran and sanctions and the 3rd phase of the withdrawal from the. a prime minister very recently have been to iran incidentally it was very interesting to see this. picture this image of the japanese side of the iranian side of the other side it was not a coincidence that you were. so you know what i think about this fu

president petro poroshenko into firing the guy isn't that convincing is what i said you know i get the 1000000000 i'm going to be leaving iraq i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm leaving in 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money or son of a. fighter no not biden surely not he looks so good in those shorts back in the sixty's he had such a lovable bromance with obama he can't be shady i love joe biden but there is still so much good in this country and joe biden i think represents that the democrats will see him as the best choice voters in the battleground state of wisconsin say they favor by never president trump everyone loves your by if you'll trump because an elusive phone call from a secret source reported in a classified document leaked in an article but that corrected itself would be to quote hard evidence and bring the year. democrats knocking at your door but if you're the only candidate your party has mustered up that even stands a chance of getting the vote of the american people in 2020 so you get something that's up for interpretation
