good to talk you, richard white's there in washington. thanks for being with us. thank you. are large crowds are gathering outside argentina's, senate building as senators their debate a controversial finance bill. they have 5 days to decide whether to refinance the countries $45000000.00 debt to the international monetary fund. if not, they risk defaulting on the loan. many argentinians are against barring more money and protest every time congress debates this issue is go live now to teresa bow in one osiris for us. so tell us, tell us, what's the latest on the protest there to? right, well there's a lot of stake for argentina, as government says, says that the agreement with the international monetary fund is crucial. just until a while ago, there were thousands and thousands of people here who are protesting against that disagreement, saying that it is going to hurt argentina is most vulnerable. argentina has a long history with the i m f. and many here we sent it because they fear the austerity measures that the fund could make, the more government with the agreement im

oh, richard whites joins me now from washington. d, c, to talk more about all this. he's a defense and security analyst at wiki strata, global risk consultancy, thanks very much for being with us. so let me ask you, 1st of all, about the report from the ukranian intelligence that they believe the russians tried to split the country up into 2. what do you make of them? that's very plausible. even before the war began, people were thinking of various scenarios and one would be rushed to try and see the entire country and put in in town government. and now there was that they were simply making a show for the gain leverage and negotiations. but some of the midline scenarios had them basically occupy the eastern part, which is where most of the pro ration and russian speaking people are located. and it's also joining to russia and main territory and the southern parts. and that would give them a greater territory around crimea. it would allow them to prevent the ukraine from having access to the black sea and allow russia to connect up with the forces around the russian

richard white says a defense and security on this wiki strat, which is a global risk consultancy. he says the washing offensive appears to have stalled the 1st day they tried to just seize some key assets and airports and other facilities in near here and just make a show of force in the south. i think they expected just the shock the ukrainians into surrender, or didn't expect much resistance, but that total that failed a lot of their airborne forces were captured or shot down. and then they launched this massive offensive from the north east and through the south. and that made some progress in, thus it particularly in the south, but in the past few weeks it could be money doll. they don't care to making much territorial gains except for in near the sea bass off in the south eastern, near mary opal, which will probably fall soon. but otherwise, it's been pretty much as a mis, they've been is what seem to just launching massive missiles mortars in the hypersonic system. nato has sent patriot as offend systems to so vac. yeah. the country's defense minister, previously that it wou

richard whites is a security military analyst at wiki strategy to start live via skype for washington, d. c. of course, having all of these weapons, richard is one thing, having the expertise to put them to good use though, is a lover that does ukraine to the ukranian army forces, have that expertise presents precisely the issue. so we know that a portion of the ukrainian armed forces were trained and the systems before the fighting began. and probably they'd use some of their weapons or lost some of their aircrafts so they could make good use of additional missiles or planes that they can get them. but you can't just give these systems to train civilian recruits or even military people who haven't spent months learning how to use them. so there's a limited absorption capacity. i think more important than i presume their deliberate needs, the well is going to be medical equipment, communication equipment. they can't rely on cell phones since the russians can identify where they are concentrated, intact, those they will probably need night vision, body armor, a bunch of other material

let's talk about all of this with richard white's. he's a security analyst. that weakest, right? he's joining us from washington. d. c. vice guy, thanks for your time with us. so the suggestion perhaps that we are waiting to confirm this, but the suggestion is that the cease fire has perhaps been broken. the 2nd sees fire in 2 days. but looking at this issue of humanitarian court, or is richard wise, i mean, how efficient do you think these are mandatory and corridors are well, they serve multiple purposes for different actors that are most benign level. they can allow a humanitarian aid agencies to provide needed medical food and other assistance to entrapped citizens. and so we've seen, for example, in syria multiple quarters at one time working towards that. and they also and, but they also can provide military benefits to both sides. so the defenders can have more time to strengthen their defenses and less concerned about protecting civilians. if the civilians are allowed to leave the corridor. alternately, the attacker can benefit by being given at some time to strength. pla

joining me is mike memoli from the white house, richard engel in kyiv, clint watts, a research fellow at the foreign policy research institute, nbc contribute or the, at our big board today in new york. he will explain what's going on with the russian troop movements. and kelly cobiella is in poland. let's start with mike at the white house. i want to start simply with what's next? a lot of senators are asking for a full embargo on russian oil. that seems to be the next most significant thing we could do. the white house has been hesitant on this. where are they today? >> reporter: chuck, yesterday you were asking me why we didn't see president biden make a more fulsome rewrite of his state of the union address to focus on the situation in ukraine, and we're getting more insight into the answer as he did not in the form of that reporting you were referencing from our colleagues, carol lee, courtney kube, about the dire assessments coming from the u.s. but from western intelligence officials about what we see coming potentially in the days ahead in ukraine, the fact that despite the va

peter alexander at the white house for us, thank you. richard is in kyiv. richard, it looked like there had been some growing momentum to get these planes, to get these russian-made planes into the hands of ukrainian pilots. you heard peter's reporting that suddenly that seems logistically like a long shot. what kind of impact does that have? it seems like the ukrainian government was counting on the momentum of making that happen. what do you hear? what do you know? >> reporter: well, i still think they are hopeful that it could happen. there is still a lot of border that is open. ukraine shares a large board we are many nato allies, and that boarder is not a conflict area. you see all the refugees streaming across that border, so there are still logistics avenues available. of course, it's more complicated to move an air craft or many air craft than boxes of shoulder-fired missiles, but it is also difficult to defend your country against a russian attack. what you're seeing here is that officials believe that the worst has yet to come. the ukrainian force

white house. we heard from richard engel about the conversations with the ukrainian president. ssian oil imports. you laid out why the white house wouldn't want to do that and looking for mike memoli on screen that a white house official we spoke with said the door is not shut no anything. >> reporter: yeah. i think this is a really an issue that we have seen throughout the process as the white house is unveiling sanctions and sanctions with the european ally that is go further than anticipated and want to do everything they can in unison with the european allies. there's an idea that the strength of sanctions if it's the u.s. alone won't have the same impact without the european allies. this is where the pressure is so interesting because as the time is laying out russian oil imports is a small fraction of what u.s. consumers take in. that the numbers are actually somewhere between 8 and 10% of the oil consumed in the u.s. is russian oil. that's not the case in europe. you know that. what the white house is confronting is a willingness on capitol hill to take this step. we hear

joining us is richard engel. and chief white house correspondent, kristen welker. when we cut in the news conference, we were uctag about the attack on the hospital in mariupol. president zelenskyy tweeting out horrific pictures, the aftermath. and you've been with civilian victims in a hospital in kyiv. there's no question that russia continues to attack civilian targets and corridors that had been negotiated for ceasefires and now reporting confirmed from the pentagon they're using dung bombs. long-precision weapons. which might explain some of this but not all the attacks on civilian targets including hospitals and nuclear plants. >> reporter: so, the attack a short while ago on the maternity and children's ward in maur opal -- maur opal has tweeted out video and showing the hospital significantly damaged. in the video you're showing, you'll see a tremendous amount of damage. room after room of devastation. but there do not appear to be victims. there's nots blood trails or bodies. a short while ago i saw a photo of a pregnant woman going down a stair case in wh

karolyi is at the white house, richard engel is in kyiv. l, that phone call, is it initiated by president biden or by president zelenskyy? and who was making the most asks? >> reporter: we know, chuck, they spoke for 30 minutes. the white house has yet to issue a read-out of that call, just saying they spoke for 30 minutes. president zelenskyy tweeted and aid they discussed both the need for aid to ukraine and more sanctions on russia. so you can bet that president zelenskyy pressed president biden for more supplies, more aid, more arms, frankly, so they can continue to fight russia as russia advances across the country and also put more pressure on russia so that president zelenskyy tweeted that they spoke about anti-russia sanctions, in his words. so, both of those topics obviously came up again. we don't have a readout yet from president biden, but this is something that certainly is going to be a topic in his state of the union address later tonight, and whatever the contents of that call were is likely something that he's going to conve

start with our reporters on the ground, chief correspondent richard engel for us once again on the ground in ukraine's capitol and chief whitese correspondent kristen welker at her post at 1600 pennsylvania. richard, i'll start with you. before i come to you, though, i want to play part of your report from this morning from inside a ukrainian hospital. let's start there. >> reporter: russian troops are trying to grind out a victory by beating ukrainian towns and cities into submission, but so far all that russia is doing successfully is killing ukrainian troops and innocents. at an intensive care unit in kyiv this morning, a doctor showed us the ward, the windows all covered to prevent sniper fire, a victim of russian fire, all civilians. a man shot in the legs. a man whose house was bombed was trapped under the rubble for two days and just arrived here this morning. vladimir putin says the russian army is not bombing civilians. >> that's a lie. it's an obvious lie. >> reporter: down the hall, an entire family, they were escaping their neighbor north of kyiv. a russian soldier told them it was safe to leave. as they started

nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel once again in ukraine's capital of kyiv, white house chief correspondent kristen welker at her post there at 1600 pennsylvania avenue and ken delainian is here with more reporting on the ukranian military capabilities. richard, we'll start with you there, that 34-hour curfew, all residents will be banned from moving through city streets unless they are traveling to a shelter or carrying a special pass. what are you seeing on the ground, sir? >> reporter: so, people are preparing already for this curfew. it's the second time that kyiv has had a total lockdown imposed by the mayor and now people are taking this opportunity to stock up, to visit relatives, to get medicines because when they have implemented curfews in the past, they mean it. there are checkpoints on the street here and if you go out. you'll quickly run into a checkpoint. they are not hostile. they are friendly but they will tell you to go back inside. the reason they are imposing this curfew again is because of the intensified attacks on kyiv and also the -- the seemingly r

i would like to mentioned something today march 17th is the day that richard nixon walked out of the diplomatic entrance of the white house? all of the members of the leadership of the bipartisan congress were there to wish him well, and he goes out to andrews air force base. we get on our plane we go to our various staff tables. and the stewards had taken and put a little tv on one of the tables. and on that table was the picture of the plane that we were on. and you see it taxing down. and turning and getting ready to take off it was it was so heavy because it had to go all the way to honolulu. and so the plane started on the runway. and you hear this german voice by you can guess who henry kissinger? and he says this is amazing. i've never watched myself christ before. a very humorous moment. thanks to dwight. this is are going to be our question right over here. um, mr. chapin, i've always been a little confused about the president's relationship with the internal revenue service. you give any light? what is attitude was towards them? well i do i i cannot speak. to the relationship of the president to the intern

the watergate investigation into president richard nixon was suspiciously missing. >> good evening. the white house this afternoon disclosed something else is wrong with the president's secret tape recordings. an 18-minute important conversation is. [ inaudible ] consisting of a single tone on the tape. that conversation took place just three days after the watergate break in last year and it involved the president, hr and john ericman. >> that recording was critical because it was supposed to capture president nixon easterliest reaction to the news of the watergate break in but disappeared into thin air. conveniently for nixon, it was e erase by his secretary who said she did so by accident with a foot pedal. it was a coverup to his down fall. fast forward to today and we're learning now of a new gap in another white house record, this time pertaining to the presidency of donald j. trump only this gap isn't just 18.5 minutes, it's more than seven hours. "the washington post" is reporting today that internal white house records from january 6th show a gap in trump's phone records of seven hou

let's go from the white house to kyiv where richard engel is.nsive in hopes of stopping russia's momentum. what have you heard on that front? do you get the sense ukrainian soldiers are aware of what zelenskyy is doing, not only leading at home, but also spreading the word on the world stage? >> reporter: so all we've heard about the offensive is that it's been launched and launched in multiple locations, particularly to the north and northwest of kyiv where russia has a lot of forces and had been trying to push into the city, also trying to push into kyiv from the east. all of its advances have been stalled over the last several days. what russia has been doing instead is long-range attacks, firing missiles, long-range artillery into the city more or less at random and not with a tremendous amount of velocity. ukrainians are aware of what their government is doing because the government has been very active. zelenskyy is today speaking to congress. every day he's been given addresses, addresses in ukrainian, in russia, addressing russian troops

richard russell. yes, the senate russell office building is named after a self-proclaimed white supremacist. it's a symbol of national shame. on march 30, 1964, the southern block of 18 democratic senators and one republican senator, led by senator richard russell, launched a filibuster to prevent the passage of the 1964 civil rights act. stood in the way of what we now consider some of the great legislative actions that were taken by the house -- taken up by the house and the senate. russell proclaimed -- senator russell proclaimed, we will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would tend to bring about social equality. some things bear repeating. we will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would tend to bring about social equality and intermingling and emall gogh makes of the races in our states. -- emalgomations of the races in our states. he voted against the 1964 civil rights act, which he called shortsighted and disastrous. he added that the civil rights bills' effect was to eliminate states' rights, and abolish the checks and balance system.

white house phone records, it is a really big deal. there is a reason it was a big deal over president richard nixon won just 18.5 minutes of gaps were foundstarted to look like an attempted cover-up. this gap in donald trump's phone records are starting to appear that way to. and boston -- he is not the executive director of protective democracy. dedicated to fighting efforts to undermine democracy. he joins me now. ian bassin, first of all, let me ask you as someone who worked in the white house, the white house that was extremely almost neurotic-less sensitive about compliance, compared to the guy who came afterwards, your reaction to this record, just the possibility of it. >> look, there is no way that that happens without somebody directing it to happen. there is an office outside of the oval office called oval office operations with a whole set of staffers whose tool job it is to record everything the president does, every call he makes, every call coming in, make sure it is preserved, complies the presidential records act. there is no way that something like this happens accidentally, which means multiple people were involved. in s

richard lui. >>> meantime president biden back in the white house facing new criticism, of course, saying that vladimirn power during his speech in poland yesterday. go to nbc's mime memoli at the white house. in general, mike, how's washington reacting to the president's remarks? >> reporter: well, interesting about this, we have seen the president really hasn't been reluctant to use charged language about the russian president. in the last few weeks called him a war criminal. yesterday even before his speech a butcher. a dictator as well. the issue driving in washington, putin cannot remain in power amounts to a substantial change in policy on the part of the administration, if the president really is calling for regime change. the white house, of course, is walking what the president said back. saying that's not what the president meant to infer by what he said yesterday. here is a sort of read what some of those are responding to here in washington, how they view the president's remarks. take a listen. >> the president i think is a straight shooter, deeply empathetic, frustrated with the scenes of

richard engel, in kyiv. asia correspondent in beijing and chief white house correspondent and coanchor "peter alexander."hat's the pattern of russia's attack, targets in ukraine and kyiv has been devastating. what we're hearing from president zelenskyy today. >> so, i'll start with the attack here in kyiv this morning. it was another apartment complex and they seem to be the favorite targets of russia these days. where they are just lobbing missiles into this city, apparently at random. they certainly seem to be falling indiscriminately. it's not a constant stream of incoming missiles but each time they land, when they land on an apartment building, they cause casualties. and luckily, if you can call anything about this lucky, in the center of a court yard surrounded by a apartment buildings, an apartment complex. and it devastated the surrounding apartments. it also damaged a kindergarten, a nursery school, grocery store in the complex. and killed at least one person, wounded 12. could be more than that. that's been the pattern here that we've been seeing on a daily basis where there's some sort of a ta

white house kelly o'donnell, former u.s. ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul, and former secretary of state, richard engel. mr. mcfall, what do you think vladimir putin is doing in response to the interview and the mixed messaging over the weekend, oh, we're only going for eastern ukraine and dom ambassador, and exactly as the president -- donbas, and exactly as the president is appearing in poland. >> i encourage everyone to watch it, it's 90 minutes long. obviously it's in russian with sub titles. you get a real sense of president zelenskyy's thinking. he speaks very honestly and very candidly about everything, so please watch it. i congratulate the russian group that interviewed him, including tikhon, including somebody i have known for many years. with respect to the war, i would say two things, and i'm echoing something president zelenskyy said in that interview, remember, there's been lots of disinformation, trial balloons racing after hopeful messages, and this is what it seems to me that what we're doing with the general's comments the other day, where he said we're limiting the operations to donbas, i

chief foreign correspondent richard engel in ukraine, josh letterman in poland, peter alexander covering the whitese, courtney kube at the pentagon and we're also joined by retired lieutenant general ben hodges, former commanding general for the u.s. army in europe. and, richard, i want to start with you in kyiv. with this widespread condemnation we're now seeing directed at russia, after this latest attack apparently hitting a children's hospital out east, what can you tell us? >> reporter: i don't think you need to say apparently, it hit a children's hospital. it is right in the center of mariupol, it is impossible to miss. we spent weeks in mariupol before coming to kyiv. and where we were staying was just a few blocks away from this hospital. mariupol is now completely surrounded, we're talking about firing into a captive population, there are 400,000 people or wore about 400,000 people in mariupol, some have managed to escape, but the vast majority are trapped in the city. they are running out of food, they are running out of water, and then this massive explosion, it dug a crater that looked

richard haas. you've studied this, worked at the state department at the white house, you've written about this.> where we stand is we put together an impressive what you might call indirect policy, andrea. indirect military support that's extensive to ukraine. you just heard the president articulate why direct military support isn't there and i agree there. diplomatically we've left open room for diplomacy. he seems more than likely to suffer the military sanctions and costs and he's pressing on and attacking indiscriminately ukraine cities and population centers, causing millions of internally displaced refugees and he may well be contemplating escalation. even though i think our policy is quite impressive, if thegoal is to get this war to stop, we're not necessarily even close yet. >> do you think it is possible that russia could be planning to use nuclear weapons? >> look, one of the things we've learned about mr. putin is to be very wary of assumptions. russians have been associated with chemical weapons used before. if the goal here is to depop late ukraine and reduce the possibility of a

richard engel in kyiv for us. thank you. carol lee at the white house. carol, there is a growing group of bipartisan members of congress that want to impose this full embargo on russian oil. my guess is the european partners are the most reticent on this. where does this stand? did they acknowledge maybe the politics is getting ahead of them. >> reporter: look, they've left the energy sector after they've done a number of other sanctions for a reason, chuck in is where the really hard stuff comes in and what you've seen the white house try to do is really do, you know, all hands on deck in terms of keeping the allies united, the nato allies and u.s. partners. that's something that president biden talked about every time he's talked about ukraine this week, he's really emphasized. they see that as a critical asset going forward, not just with the allies and overseas but domestically. if they're completely ununited there, it gives the president leverage with congress and the administration is having discussions about what sanctions on the energy sector wou

richard. >> my only point here is this. i think what you see from this whitese is that they have not, joe biden has the ability to fire this ag and he is not. he wants this investigation to go on. that tells you if they need to know. >> harris: could see both. we'll bring you back the next great debate with you. outnumbered after the break. right now and make the call. because no one knows veterans like newday usa. psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. i felt defeated. the pain, the stares. no one should suffer like that. i said, enough. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. four years clear. five years and counting. cosentyx works fast. for clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections some serious, and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms dev

there was a fairly widespread common practice in that community of white men having a -- woman on the side. and richard loving was unique in that he wanted to marry the woman that he loved the brown woman that he loved and he wasn't making political points. he just loved her and and wanted like other like everybody else to have the ability to marry her and and live and be left alone. 1967 supreme court decision unanimous. what did it say? so that was the war in court. it was an opinion written by. chief justice warren the author of the much more famous. i think brownby board decision. he said that this law the racial integrity act. of 1924 which made it a felony for a white person to marry or have sex with a non-white person and white was defined. you were only white if you had 100% white blood which is probably impossible for most people and what the court said was. this 300-year history on the part of virginia of separating people this way regulating them banning them from interracial marriage and sex was a policy designed to promote white supremacy, and he said it with capital letters. it was the fi

white house, thank you so much. joining us now to talk about this, richard haasy, author of "the world: a brief introduction."mbassador, i want to begin, if i can for a moment, set aside military assistance and talk about the progress of associations, because in the last 24 hours, there seems to be some movement. you have the ukranian president saying that we may not need a nato commitment, right, for membership to be satisfied, but other security guarantees, and you have the russians saying -- or at least removing their demand for denizification, which is a word i use carefully because there are no nazis there, but it's how the russians describe the united states government. do you see the path to an agreement? >> i can design a possible agreement. it would have to deal with those issues, with crimea, with the state of the republics in the east, issues of our militarization and so forth. the problem, though, is in any negotiation is less the details than it is the willingness and ability of the parties to strike a deal to compromise. up to now you've got a government in ukraine that is willing to compromise,

white house and media. howard: susan ferrechio, "washington times" and here in studio, richard fowler, radio show host, foxd ketanji brown jackson did fine and republicans badgered her about culture warrior issues that had nothing to do with justice. fair or unfair. >> that is not fair. every time republican is badgered by opposition party. they want to do everything they can to trip up the nominee or show they're looking at nominee's record. democrats did this with the three nominees, particularly justice kavanaugh, president trump said this is par for the course. of course some is political theater as it was for democrats when they were vetting trump's nominees. ted cruz this time. josh hawley. two people whose names come up as 2024 republican candidates for president. all to be expected. but i find that description completely inaccurate if you're going to say she was unfairly vetted before that committee. that is just not true. howard: richard you might have a different view. a lot of the coverage says that certain gop senators were pushing their own political brief vanses such as lindsey graham, asking

to rick's point, to your point, to richard's point in that train station, turn that film into black and white suddenly you're on a rocket ride back to the 1930s. you are watching the history channel in realtime. that is pretty shocking. and i have seen that reporting from richard a couple times and it's heart breaking. the question we need to be asking ourselves in addition to rick's point and to president zelenskyy's point about creating a groundswell of protest i think there are a couple practical aspects to this. one is cyber and protecting ukrainian electric grid. number two is creating the modalities for the ukrainians to fight. they will. we need to flow weapons through lviv. we have a nato border there. putin won't cross a nato border in anger. we need to get the weapons into the hands of the ukrainians. they need to be given the best intelligence available to use those weapons effectively. and i think without question we're going to have to provide them the means to resist if god forbid ukraine falls. they need a government in exile. let's hope zelenskyy is the person. he turned out t

richard nixon. we talk a little bit about what was happening in the 1920s and 30s as white evangelicals were growing in power and prominence and all try to be careful with my language. i'll probably use the terms fundamentalist and evangelical interchangeably. i tend to use the terms that they use for themselves. so in the 20s and 30s, they called themselves fundamentalists in the 1940s to today. they tend to call themselves eventuals, but it's the same group same people many of them are exactly the same if you trace them from the 1930s to the 1950s. but what they believed is the the way they were reading their bibles. they thought that you could see signs that the bible had laid out, especially in the old testament, but also in the new testament. a series of events that would tell us when we were living near the rise of the antichrist in this great apocalypse. and some of them were kind of hard to track things like loosening morals the rise of darwinian evolution. they were worried about women's suffrage and women getting new rights in the 1920s. they were worried that prohibition wasn't being enfo

white glove related company. not such a thesis, but you sure. arnold on bison bishop on some gum one. simpson brought sample with the richard to cook us. did it today in the area on the locals. also say the situation has now escalated to the extreme. they claim shilling attacks have increased significantly over the past 9 months and is currently doing butte for now . gosh, i forget it. i'll get you there. but you more? yeah, because just yet. so do you know, jackie thought, you know, she was done against a dorm, was people generally donna, to any people anywhere in white just because they defend their culture and their language, their mother lap. they can be shown as an enemy of to well why them? but if he's president williams can when you have only had mucus egless when you're graham of sure, then she eventually but thought good causes on your when another bison. but despite in system shelling and international pressure, don best keeps living, working, and dreaming of a peaceful future without ukraine. mm. absolute. and i wish in store room you more than super stones sustain ukraine. but almost almost done. i make course.

richard engel in kyiv tonight, thank you. >>> after days of pressure, presiden biden announced a u.s. ban on russian oil import, it could send record domestic gas prices even higher peter alexander at the whiteouse with more. >> reporter: president biden striking at the heart of vladimir putin's economy, announcing a ban on all russian oil and gas. >> we'll not be a part of subsidizing putin's war. >> reporter: oil and gas production accounts for 40% of russia's revenue >> the american people will deal another powerful blow of putin's war machine. >> reporter: it's a major shift for the president who for weeks deliberately avoided sanctioning russian oil to kee u.s. gas prices lower. >> on our sanctions package we specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue >> reporter: president biden's decision follows bipartisan pressure to impose a ban. still the actual impact of the move is likely limited because unlike europe, the that relies on russia for roughly a quarter of its oil the u.s. gets just 8% of its imports from there the uk says it will phase out russian oil by the end of the year but germany that's heavily dependant on russian energy ruled out any change the president ack

[ laughter ] you're clapping on the ones and threes, richard president biden's state of the union address last night, several members of congress wore blue and yellow in solidarity with ukraine, though i'm not sure everybody understood the assignment. [ laughter ] during last night's speech, republican congresswomen marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert heckled and booed president biden on several occasions. in their defense, he is technically the manager. [ laughter ] and that, technically, was a joke [ laughter ] technically. during president biden's state of the union address last night, he accidentally said "iranian" instead of "ukrainian." well, in a speech where he had to pronounce volodymyr zelenskyy and ketanji brown jackson, something had to give. [ laughter ] according to a new poll, 71% of americans who watched president biden's state of the union address had a positive reaction to the speech. but let's be honest, everyone who would have had a negative reaction was watching "yellowstone."
