what really happened with the biden's per ukraine, particularly hunter?e something wrong with the question? >> carley: well, i think it comes down to obama defending the obama administration, which really should come as no surprise. keep in mind, he did agree to release these records. so the senate can continue their investigation into hunter and joe biden. although he did so in a begrudging fashion. i don't really think he would have done that if he knew there was going to be anything in these records that would hurt biden's presidential campaign. harris, just talking about this reminds me of the prepandemic days. it almost shows how quick the new cycle is, we all thought the presidential race was going to be about ukraine and russia and now it's going to be about china and the pandemic, and quite possibly something a little bit darker for joe biden, as well. >> harris: melissa? >> melissa: well, i think that we should call nancy pelosi, because when you go back and you look at what impeachment was all about, it was for soliciting foreign interference in

looking back 2012 we see the exact same tiki torches in ukraine during the revolution. we see the exact same imagery and other parts of eastern europe. this was a transplanted plan in fact many of the people who were instrumental had actually trained in paramilitary camps in ukraine which started off as the neo-nazi militia that was folded into the national guard of ukraine a very important part of the fight of crimea and that is such an important part of the world because if anybody has seen the movie 300 those spartan held off because ukraine is like that for europe. russia really wants to destroy democracy. so that is the entrÉe in. it's interesting because these neo-nazis are fighting for the ukraine freedom but they are promoted by russian propaganda. >> in the book you start off with a brief history of racism in america going from institutional slavery to be re-created and jim crow that could be attacked legally but the people who are supporting and enforcing and mobilizing had control over someone else. >> talk about the younger generation it sounds the violence
