hello on the air american method today our guest is a political analyst adviser to the us republican party those employees of the state department who worked in the ussr at one time, jim jatters. now we are with you at 21:30 on january 22, us department of state for the ussr , this entrance is for staff only today analysts in any country of the world. well, as it were, so to speak, these are such prophets. but not in the religious sense of the word, but in the soviet sense, they talk about what may be, based on the situation that is developing today. so the jimjators turned out to be such a prophet. why in 2018 we filmed a very large investigation dedicated to the ukrainian orthodox church about who and how draws the line of schism in the church. and that's when jim jatters told us the words that became relevant after 5 years the american leadership does not care about ukraine ukrainians and their problems. they regard ukraine only as a very important region for russia. i will not fight russia to the last ukrainian. he foresaw. what is happening now in ukraine and at the same time in washi

move in and out. victory in back mode would give moscow its 1st major when in 6 months in the us republican party members have had the 2nd day of the conservative political action conference. it's seen as an early test for those seeking to challenge donald trump for the republican party's presidential nomination. allan tricia was at the meeting. while if you want to judge who got the best reception over the last few hours, it was steve band and the man fired by donald trump is still very close to the former president. when he talked about donald trump winning election and the next presidential election that brought the crowd to their feet. certainly by far and away the biggest response, we've seen it. if you what runs the holes here. you will see many people wearing come pat t shirt selling trump portraits. he's still very much the dominant figure here in the republican park, you know, to potential appointments for them in the republican party. i've already spoken. first of all, we heard from mike volunteer, the former secretary of state, he wasn't afraid to take on donald trump by name, saying t

that's why i really hope that , in any case, sober heads from among the us republican party, as theyay yes, and i don't even speak for trump anymore. i myself communicate with the guys who are our compatriots live in the united states of america and communicate closely with veterans and military points of the united states, it is these veterans. basically, they speak directly to the naval navy. we really want putin to win in ukraine because after that we believe that putin will help trump save america . that's it so that's what i can say? i really hope that it still exists. uh, including the tops of the united states, after all, sensible politicians, because no one in the united states wants to bring it to the red line, but it must appear, that person depends, or a group of people who even depend on someone that you it didn’t happen with biden now, trump can’t come to power in any way. yes, yes, they will have a year and a half, and in a year and a half a lot, what can change a lot? unfortunately. yes? yes, no, listen, well, many people in america say in general, such a simple questi

there was this thing the republican party used to say when i worked in that character counts. now all unfolding. it is just beginning. the majority of the republican party does not believe that joe biden is legally elected president. play that out? what does it mean? it means they lived in an occupied country that not only gives them a reason to do whatever it takes, but for some, it gives them an obligation. i think this is just the beginning. i think the republican party is shameful, in not standing up for the rule of law which is what this is. the reason there is a former president being indicted is because the republican party nominated and elected, a criminal. it's no more complicated than that. one of the things that trump has been saying in recent days is if they can get me they can get you. can you unpack that a little for me? why do you think that is so resident with the gop in this particular moment? >> it's all about grievance. the organizing principle of the republican party now is fear thick about it. it is fear of the horrors coming over the border it is fear of t

but the real merit of the politician is a member of the us congress of the republican party said that the crisis in the banking sector is a consequence of biden's policy. he called the decision of the president of the economy a biden of inflation, as a result of which the fed raised interest rates earlier by the treasury secretary, the united states noted that the united states administration considers it extremely likely that after the failure of silicone welly, other american banks may be declared insolvent and face a massive withdrawal by their customers of funds from their accounts. from the establishment of us sanctions against russia , the global financial system arrives in a rather precarious state , a russian political scientist shared this opinion with our channel. vladimir shapovalov according to him, such a policy of washington strengthens the trend towards de-dalarization of many countries of the world and will lead to the collapse of the american economic system. in fact, they destroyed the world, not the economy, with their actions, an unrestrained attempt to conduct an

is the republican party moves away from -- wall street donors supported the republican party in the past. i got off the phone with jeff banks yet and said the point that the republican party used the republican party now. the republican party likes this fight. they like this conversation we are having every time we talk about this and what ron desantis wants us to talk about. >>> all right. going to try to put factual information on the table in that conversation. next for us, we have a cnn exclusive interview with pete buttigieg. we'll have the details next. ♪wow, uh-huh♪ advantage: me! can't wait 'til i turn 65! take advantage with an aarp medicare advantagege plan... only from unitedhealthcare. i've never been healthier. shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. proven over 90% effective, ingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shines in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactns to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness and swelling at the injection sit

what is this tell us about the republican party and where should we go from here let's take it up with her piano lee zeldin you ran for governor of new york last november and came very, very close and the deep blue state and you going to be speaking at cpac this weekend what is your message and what the future of the republican party. >> the republican party needs to expand and grow their people that try to get votes from democrats acting like democrats and taking democratic positions. i say to a better job messaging why you're a conservative and don't pander. for going to the black community and hispanic community is not saying i love black people nation people and hispanic people vote for me it's pandering that you should get rewarded with a boat you should show up and say we need to make the security and safety on the streets better and here's how we need to improve the quality of education of your kids schools and here's how paid we have again to the cities of your high paid political consultant is telling you not to go to put together area because it's too blue, i bet that's the b

let me remind you earlier, a member of the us congress from the republican party, half the government the crisis in the banking sector was due to biden's policy. arina sobolenko continues to delight her fans at the prestigious undian wolsen tennis tournament, wta-1000 category. with with a prize fund of almost $ 9 million, last night the champion of australia open in the semifinals of the competition coped with the seventh racket of the world, the representative of greece , maria sakhari 6:263, the game lasted 1 hour and 25 minutes, making five breaks for the belarusian, confidently won and advanced to the decisive match of the tournament, where to play with the representative of kazakhstan, elena rybakina, that is, we are waiting for a repeat of the australian open final in her semi-final, elena left no chance and cheap. so 6:262 match for the title will be held tomorrow. galina kachalova from grodno, winner show factor buy 60+ the eighty-two-year-old artist captivated the jury with her talent of the first broadcasts, a vocal teacher with fifty-five years of experience prepared a gal

republican party. republican party used to be the foreign policy party, the party that supported the war in iraq, and now's a reason that ron desantis decided to basically take trump's line on ukraine and say that this is just a territorial skirmish, it's not in america's key interest, and it's because -- i do these focus groups with republican voters all the time, and the way they talk about it is hey, we should be solving problems here at home, we should be focused on the border, we should not be focused on wars in europe. and that is just such a shift in the republican party. while the establishment is pushing back, base voters, they want that isolationist foreign policy. >> and let's look deeper in those numbers. here's the partisan divide over helping ukraine when asked if the u.s. is doing too much to help ukraine, 47% of republicans say yes. only 11% of democrats. 30% of independents. do you see that when you're out there talking to voters? because you know, we just interviewed congressman darin lahood. he's a conservative republican. and he did the whole thing no blank checks, needs to be account

a lot of it has to do with party primaries and our use the republicans as an example. you see republicans primary voters there -- they like it the most conservative members of their party, far right links -- far right wings to represent them and did not work for them. you saw democrats who elected more mainstream candidates, pennsylvania for example. you are seeing a lot of these primary voters galvanizing around polarizing issues. do not think it is helping the situation. do not think it is helping the situation. host: a two hour show today. 10 minutes left in this show before the house comes in for the day. mike in virginia, democrats. you are on with julia hill -- julia manchester of "the hill newspaper. caller: good morning. i'm a resident of maryland. when i look at this cpac, the people they are bringing our insurrectionists, the type of people that want to take over the country and turn it around and mess it up. i can understand why people like real conservatives are not coming. in maryland, we have a bunch of races and were waiting for them to come and we are no

states of america , refused to come to ukraine, it could be an unpleasant bell for us, considering that the republican partys that are unpleasant for us for several months , even about the fact that it should be reduced , about the fact that it is necessary to somehow very strongly control where the money goes and in general whether should we give this money to ukraine if we have , for example, our own border in the south ? please tell me, this refusal of mccarthy to go to ukraine is bad, in fact, it is not a very good signal , it primarily indicates that in our diplomatic work was added because mccarthy, after he fell out with trump and left the tropical wing, he was considered a moderate republican , that is, he was really the one who proposed the transfer of additional checks, he was the one who proposed sending more monitoring sites to ukraine regarding the use of both financial and military aid, that is indeed, mccarthy insisted that the way we spend money should be monitored more carefully, there was nothing wrong with these commissions and sent before us, the experts showed good results, but this ref

refused to leave him, they are registered republicans and they did have a lot of weight but in the november midterms, what that showed us is the republican partythat will be raised after this historic decision, will be coming from small donor maga movement types still in the republican party and that is for expect that ron desantis does not want to alienate. if he does run for president in 2024. he is saying one thing today but in a few months, he may be saying some goals. this is a governor who is known to talking out of both sides of his mouth so he is not going to leave trump 's backside just yet and be sure to remember, he is not officially announced run for president. —— trump 'sjust yet. —— trump's side just yet. as you can see on screen, for the benefit of viewers, outside palm beach area port, not far from donald trump's florida estate at mar—a—lago, pictures of people waving flags in support of donald trump. it's not that massive crowd with scene. certainly more than we saw, about 20 minutes ago and i want to put this to you. we talk about what a difficult point this is for the republican party and what it means for politicians like r

it is not wrong for a republican party -- america wants us to work together. america needs us to solve this problem. the congressional budget office is just giving us the numbers. this way we can find a way and find a path. >> i would like to ask you two questions. the second on your speakership more broadly. one of your criticisms of the house select committee was they investigated by the capital was so ill prepared for an attack that day. mr. carlton portrays capitol police as sentenced to 41 months in prison. what is your assessment of the way those officers acted that day and do you believe the sentencing was justified? >> i don't know. i want to make sure this capital is protected and secure. i let people make their own decisions. quest given the things required out of the white house, is there anything there you can get behind? any sense of common ground? >> i have not seen his budget. i do not believe raising taxes is the answer. if you look at the revenue coming into america today, that is the average. our expenses are much higher. if you look at the 3

it is interesting that these are members of the us congress from the republican party.me time , they reminded joe biden of the fears of the white house to do this due to an alleged possible escalation on the part of the russian federation. of the russian forces, well, earlier there was information about why the united states has an abundance of cluster munitions, and about which the ukrainian defense forces may even have good ideas on how to make them effective, but completely controlled by us to make their actions controlled and previously it was an appeal from ukraine to the administration of jobabyten, now it is an appeal from absolutely specific representatives of the us congress so far only four, but in your opinion, is this case really moving towards some logical positive for us, the shift is, well, basically, the main problem is that, let's put it this way, the united states of america is more likely to not want to transfer these munitions in order to let's say it looked clean from the point detention of international law, although this is a rather controversial

main opponent of donald trump in the fight for the status of the candidate for the us presidency from the republican partye said this in an interview with the british journalist piers morgan, and it was quite unexpected, because in march , in an interview with fox news, desantis criticized the policy of us president joe biden regarding ukraine, he said that the usa has a lot of important national interests and, as desantis said, further involvement in the dispute between ukraine and russia is not one of these interests , the governor's words about the so-called territorial dispute were criticized not only in ukraine , but even in his own republican party, now in an interview with piers morgan paratroopers claimed that his comment about the territorial dispute was misinterpreted, paratroopers noted that he should speak more clearly, listen, it's obvious that russia invaded and it was wrong, they invaded crimea and seized it in 2014 , it was also wrong i meant where the hostilities are currently taking place that is, on the western border or on the eastern border, donbass and then crimea, so it is a difficu

to say that -- republicans used to say they were the party of law enforcement. fic attacks on law enforcement that day. republicans used to be the party that supported the military, but that is unless not supporting them furthers what they see as their political goals. so i think just the hypocrisy here is screaming volumes. >> staggering. amy mcgrath, thank you for being part of our coverage. you did warn this would happen, and we are on the record bringing people back to that moment. kim atkins and rick single thank you for being part of our coverage. we have to sneak in a break, but we'll be right back. neak in a bt we'll be right back. between stains and odors, it can handle double trouble. for the #1 stain fighter and odor remover, it's got to be tide. choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start. it's the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine treatment. s

and we are. 2 more than ready for a new generation to lead us into it's a battle which has come to represent the rift leaving the republican party upon us to losing the white house in 2020, the week performance. some candidates, he backed in the mid terms. many republicans think it's time to move on from donald j. trump. they desperately do not want to talk about donald trump anymore. they want to ignore him, or hope he gets killed by a shark or, or, or that gets, you know, a struck by a media right or some other outcome. and they are the washington lobbyist consulting establishment. that's the kevin mccarthy. that's mitch mcconnell at hard line party loyalists. so gathering for the annual c pike conference, the center of the republican universe for, for dates and the divisions will be on shore. trump is the headline act. he's going to do what he did in 2016, destroy his republican, oppose any presidential. one of these will be there. but the me underestimate the poet. trump still highs over the party big. they're going to come with a one liner. oh donald, you're a little bit up there and he's gonna just rip them to pieces. he's

then the us invaded afghanistan and iraq anti-war sentiment took over the republican party with trump the horizon brother. bush jab at a debate in south carolina , he took apart for parts. it's obvious that the war in iraq was a big fat mistake. think clearly what you want, but the jab thought for 5 days from the moment he decided to run 5 days, he went around and around, either a mistake or not a mistake, until his own voters told him what to say, and he admitted. it was a mistake. say what you want, but they lied to you about weapons of mass destruction, there were no weapons, okay, and they knew it. hall buzzed experts trump's companies predicted an imminent collapse, but in a week at the primaries. he took 44 out of 46 counties in south carolina and the republican party began what the washington post is now calling a civil war between the establishment and millions of ordinary voters ukraine is now divided over this aid, according to a washington post and abc news poll conducted by in february of this year, 50% of republicans believe that the united states is doing too much to sup

republican party. well, at least 15-20 million people became republicans who used to not go to the elections at all.e people support trump. it doesn't matter what it says, what he does . well, that's what it's like. from the day of the death of the bloodiest tyrant in the history of stalin well, he had a cult of personality trump also has a cult of personality among such a large number of people although out of 10 people are not the majority of any in the republican party any in america, but they in the republican party are quite large the power is such to make trump a presidential candidate. regarding his chances in the elections, i think they are lower than they were in 2020, because when electing the president, non-party voters, the majority of voters do not belong to either the republican party, not the democratic party, these are the so-called independents in america , and as the congressional elections of last november showed, this is the way independents vote. they don't like such far-right rhetoric, and that's why the vast majority of candidates who were nominated to the congress by trump an

republican party primes. now, a champ, i said that even if he were to get in baghdad, he'd continued to run for president in 2024. tell us how much support does he have among republicans for another trump presidency? that's all about this. 24 run for the presidency and yes, he will or keep on running for this and a yeah, you're right. he is still commanding a lead and a lot of willing to g o. p. within the republican party, he is the lead. but he's something he's not used to. he has a formidable container. that is governor of florida. rhonda santas, yes he is behind donald trump, our donald trump. as you see with this action with saying, i'm going to get arrested with no proof of that. of course, that is all political. it's a political spiel and it is a ruse for okay. rhonda centers to bring more to his own faithful followers. okay. it be correspondent stepan simons. thank you. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. according pakistan, house council, the wiring for the rest of the former prime minister in con, after he briefly appeared out to you, to show complex in islamabad to face co

time, and in some way more interesting, is the ideology republicans used to provide rhetorical - for their actions. the pre-trump republican party'sagan, bush, paul ryan, the would make a case fo deregulation on the merits, as it were. we're not just crassly serving corporate interest, this i about free enterprise. right? too much governmen interference, burden companies. and it makes them less competitive. and we get higher costs. we want to unshackle them, right? produce free dynamic economi activity that kind of rhetoric, and tha kind of rhetorical ideological justification, that has been somewhat in retreat, displaced by donald trump and his maga caucus republicans did not talk about that anymore they don't even talk about freedom that much. the new republican rhetoric is all about how people are tryin to screw you big, powerful folks an institutions including the corporations and the banks. and that does not quite ge with deregulation. if you are upset that th people in east palestine got screwed, and boy, did they ever the railroad company did that. the same railroads that donald trump, maga, king deregulated. if you think i

republican party prime. now champ, i said that even if he were to get indicted, he'd continue to run for president in 2024. tell us how much support of, among republicans for another trump presidency? that's all about this $24.00 run for the presidency. and yes, he will a keep on running for this and a yeah, your, he is still commanding a lead and a, a lot of within the g o. p, within the republican party. he is the lead. but he's something he's not used to. he has a formidable contender, and that is the governor of florida. rhonda santas, yes he is behind donald trump. donald trump, as you see with this action with saying, oh, i'm going to get arrested with no proof of that. of course, that is all political is a political spiel and it is a ruse for okay. rhonda scientists to bring more to his own faithful followers. okay. it'll be correspondent stepan simons. thank you. now i caught in pakistan has canceled the wire and for the rest of my prime minister in around can, elio and saturday, he briefly appeared. i teach dish complex in islamabad to face corruption charges, but classes outside prevent the proceedings f

and what does cpac tell us about the modern republican party? is it just one big grift?n strategist, mike murphy, who advised republican candidates, including john mccain, jeb bush, and mitt romney. he's currently host of the must listen podcast -- on tap's tap. mike, thank you for being with me this evening. there's no one better to talk to about this. -- >> what a topic, the grift. >> when you think of the george santos's, and obviously donald trump with his ties and his stakes and even alex jones with his vitamins or whatever he sells, the conservative movement in the year 2023 -- it does feel like an infomercial. and i wonder how much you think the big con, the grift, essential to the party's identity at this point. >> well, alex, first of all, i join fellow patriot donald trump jr. in urging our listeners, the true patriots at, there to make the i check out today to questions against secular humanism, or cash. this is drifting plain and simple. -- it's unbelievable. i did not know god had an opinion about cell phone companies. yes. but, what's happened is trump's sh

decision sets a precedent that states that states can violate the us constitution with impunity after being turned away the republican party in texas at the convention will take the initiative for a referendum on the withdrawal of the state from the united states by proposing to hold it in 2023. indeed, history is cyclical and the texet movement is in much about what happened then in the middle of the 19th century, when texas was actually annexed by the united states from mexico , and the plan was implemented in the best traditions of western democracy. at first they rocked the situation from within, then they openly invaded neighbors and forced to sign a peace treaty on washington's terms, taking control of vast human lands and natural resources. no one could even stop the colonies from settling in, and a lot of them. uh, they settled and now in the northern part of mexico a. then, during the three-year war, this territory became part of the united states, so initially no one planned to fight with mexico, but then, of course, everything came to this and, accordingly, america expanded by itself to e, approximately the terr
