, as a leading specialist in fascism, the history of russia and the holocaust, and timothy snyder in four points simply smeared majeri taylor green yesterday, telling her that he was in ukraine the right nazis never had about pro-fascist parties more than 3%, unlike, for example, the united states, where it happens more, and then explained why there are modern ideologues. putin's speech is literally fascist, literally fascist in points, why it coincides with hitler's points, and about the stolen ukrainian children taken away, about putin's statements, well, in a word, he smeared her fantastically. kimoti snyder. thanks to timothy snyder for keeping a sane world, standing up for ukraine and explaining where the nazis really are, and they are definitely not in... the country, but what about mariupol, the president of mariupol television, mykola osychenko, is already in touch with us, we will ask what is happening there in mariupol, mr. mykola, good morning, ms. lesya, good, good good morning, what is going on, if you ask me, mr. andriy, good too, listen, there is an occupation, what

joining us now is timothy snyder, professor of history at yale university. author of "the road to unfreedom, russia, europe, america." professor snyder, so, there is something worse than a king. >> of course there is. there are lots of kings ruling lots of perfectly democratic countries right now in europe. our tradition coming from the declaration of independence holds that there is natural law but also british law, which george iii violated and that was the basis for our rebellion. it is not our tradition that there are people who can be above the law as such. the constitution is that every office is given a firm basis of regulation. there is nothing in the constitution which suggests there are people, whatever office they may hold, who can be above the constitution outside of the rule of law. and, that is the danger which i think hasn't been quite specifically expressed here, that the idea of immunity means there could be a person who is outside of the whole system. >> if supreme court arguments fascinate me because they are limited, of course, to legal p

margery grinch, they also played their role, it also played a role. his role, it is very good that timothy snydernvited to these congress hearings, he spoke very well there, he generally plays a very important role, he himself, by the way, said that his, i remember, when he was in devos there was, there was a ukrainian breakfast, it was successful, there were a number of such round tables or speeches by timothy sneider participated, he was asked how to counter russian propaganda, he... answered that it is necessary to tell what is really there, it is necessary to give facts, it is necessary to give real information, that this is the only, the only thing that is effective against russian propaganda , that 's exactly what he did, but the fact is that marjorie taylor green is not the only one, ah, well , she does it very loudly, but there are, unfortunately, there are quite a lot of these far-right republicans who actually repeat russian... propaganda, there is, let's say, a tv host like tucker carlson, who you all know very well, because there he was interviewing putin, who was given the opportunit

historian timothy snyder called this text a russian textbook on genocide. one of the most frankly genocidalseen. eugene finkel agrees with this assessment. it talked about the destruction of ukrainian identity and the transformation of people into russians. the mere fact that a person has a ukrainian identity or is a ukrainian would be enough to become a target. according to this column, this an article which, i will remind you, was published in the state newspaper. and such things cannot be published without the direct approval of the state, approval from the leadership of the kremlin. the scientist reminds that the direct voice of the state was also heard a few days later. dmitry medvedev, the former president of russia and now the leader of putin's united russia party and deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation , wrote in his telegram: deep ukrainianism. which is fueled by anti-russian venom and blanket lies about its identity, it is one big fake. this phenomenon never did not exist in history and does not exist now. it is an important goal to change the bloody

historian timothy snyder called this text a russian textbook on genocide.ost openly genocidal. documents he had ever seen. eugene finkel agrees with this assessment. they managed to destroy the ukrainian identity and turn people into russians. the mere fact that a person has a ukrainian identity or is a ukrainian would be enough to become a target. according to with this column, this article, which, let me remind you, was published in the state media, and such things were not. without direct approval of the state, approval from the leadership of the kremlin. the scientist reminds that the direct voice of the state was also heard a few days later. dmitry medvedev, the former president of russia and now the head of putin's united russia party and deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation, wrote in his telegram: deep ukrainianism that is fueled. poison and an all-encompassing lie about one's identity, that's one big one fake this phenomenon has never existed in history and does not exist now. changing the bloody and full of false myths

entire propaganda of putin's propaganda about ukraine as a nazi state, and it is interesting that timothy snyder, its historian, was invited. that the elections to the house of representatives will be held at the same time as the presidential elections, and they will also be held on a majoritarian basis, accordingly , it will be necessary for the republicans, for example, to be in an agreed position positions will be agreed upon. the democrats will align their positions with biden, and that's, well, i think a perfectly logical position for the united states. to be honest, i am more happy, i am initially happy with the position of mr. johnson, that he has become, well, you know, such a best friend of ukraine during this time, rather unexpectedly, and this is such an interesting factor, because i just remember for a very long time chased him december's words about the fact that we will make a decision on aid to ukraine by christmas, well , until christmas, he prudently did not specify which year, and therefore it is possible that during his of the election campaign will say that he meant the 24th

example. they were so caught, they will just share information, the famous american historian timothy snyder, a great friend of ukraine, wrote about the fact that he actually accused speaker johnson, the leader of the republicans in the american congress , of being engaged in manipulations, the purpose of which in the last six months is simply to give false hope, ah, to justify inaction afterwards, to weaken ukraine and promote it. russian genocide in ukraine, very harsh accusations against johnson. we will remind that johnson himself was financed in part through russian businessmen during his election campaign is still under investigation. meanwhile, mike johnson released his version of why the great roman civilization fell. all this is happening in the middle of the debate about whether america is still a great power. the great roman empire appears. because, according to mike johnson, they were too patronizing to gays, it's just that we understand the level of current politics in the united states and the level of that culture war that has actually covered up any other war, the third world

timothy snyder, professor of history at yale university. he is the author of "the road to unfreedom." and many other books. we just talked about this a few weeks ago. i think it was important to come back. donald trump, on a daily basis now, is doing things that shocked those of us who don't think we can be further shocked. the question is, not that you shouldn't be shocked by it, it is what you are supposed to do about it. we were talking just this weekend about how he posted a picture of a truck that was decorated, wrapped to look like joe biden with a bullet in his head, and was hogtied in the bed of the truck. what is the danger of normalizing this? >> yeah. the problem is what he is doing. he is changing what he is normal. he is getting us used to the idea that violent words, violent phrases, and directorates, that this is all normal. and of course, our whole political system is based on the idea that you have a constitution, a social contract, an agreement to handed over peacefully. this is the kind of person if elected, or close to p

you know, page one by timothy snyder talks about the power that is given away. so it would appear if you put that lens over this, the power that is given away is the power to hold trump to the same legal standards that any of us would be handed. >> trump is getting a wid with more in -- getting away with more than any other defendant would be for the reasons that your prior guest suggested. it does not look like he is held to the same standards. another problem going on here, just like donald trump did with an election that he knew he was going to lose. i think he sees ahead to the fact that he is going to lose this case and whatever other trials, criminal trials will be brought against him. so, what he is trying to do is deligimate the whole thing. he is trying to do that for the courts that are going to convict him while praising the ones that may not. so, i want to contrast with you saying in this case of what he is saying about the judge in florida who made many rulings in his favor and he does not hesitate to praise her. suggesting every judge is on the red

also to yours, alicia, that we had timothy snyder -- rochon a asked him a really important question about this. he said that it was a mistake to link the two. they are two different situations. linking the two may have delayed and made it harder to get that ukraine aid across the finish line. i think that may be at that time, it seemed like a good idea. we have seen that we have had full democratic support. we just needed a handful of republicans who weren't willing to come along to get the ukraine aid to the floor. let's get it out there. in the bill, there is a provision that allows it to go in an expedited fashion to ukraine because we all understand that stopping putin's march across europe and the destruction that would cause with his dictatorship is very critical, not just ukraine but to the entire world. >> i want to play for folks about speaker jeffries -- the way democrats are carrying this legislation over the line, democratic leader jeffries, during his weekly address, had this to say about the negotiations and these aid packages. take a listen. >> we still have to get the nati

page one of tyranny by timothy snyder talks about the power that is given away. so it would appear you put that lens over this, the power that is being given away is the power to hold donald trump to the same legal standard that any of us would be held to. >> right, i agree completely. i think one of the difficulties here is that many people can see that donald trump is simply getting away with more in the context of our ordinary criminal justice system. almost any other defendant would be, for reasons that your prior guest suggested. it doesn't look like he is being held to the same standards but there is also another problem going on here, just like donald trump did with an election that he knew he was going to lose, i think he sees ahead to the fact that he is going to lose this case and whatever other trials, criminal trials brought against him. and so what he is trying to do is to the legitimate the whole process and that is a page from the autocrats playbook. and worse yet, he is trying to read the legitimate the courts that are going to convict him while a

timothy snyder confronted marjorie taylor-greene at a house hearing yesterday, i believe it was. we have the video and professor snyder is going to join us. on exactly what you are just talking about. >> it is such an urgent topic. we have been weapon iced against our own best interest. >> right. thanks, alex. >> have a good show. >> it is ridiculous. it has to stop. that is how the assistant attorney christopher conroy began his description of donald trump's violation of the gag order against him before judge juan merchan continued the jury selection process, which ended the day with a full jury of 12 seated and one of the six alternate jurors chosen. the judge plans to see five more alternate jurors possibly tomorrow and be ready to hear opening statements from both sides of the case, beginning monday. when the 12th juror was seated today, the judge said, we have our jury. the day started with a new presentation by christopher conroy about donald trump's newest violations of the gag order against him, and as predicted on this program last night, donald trump's attack on the jur
