Ukrainian ambassador first. putin has shown he is an evil tyrant and proven that time again that he is evil. what i will tell you about president trump is as much as what everybody else wants to talk about what he says, what i look at is what he did. he sanctioned russia, and he build up our military and made us energy dependent. all of this countered with putin in russia. this never would have happened under trump. how do we make sure this doesnt go further under biden? this has been a terrible...

To get on the ball. >> one can argue there has been 20 years of appeasing putin, that there was a belief that he could be part of the world order. was that a mistake from the get go? >> no, i always said that you cannot trust russia. you cannot trust putin. you cant trust xi and china. its common sense. i dealt with them at the united nations. you never negotiate, you never deal with your enemies. you cant trust them. i was mortified biden asked china for help with russia. you never ask an enemy...

Thats the same title stalin used for his puppet regimes in the warsaw pact and there youre showing the signing of that. initial he he did that first and he signed another set of agreements about military cooperation with the two leaders. and? biden administration was responding to that act and then he escalated by invading and thats why they properly have change 234d way theyre talking about it and i expect youre going to hear more about new sanctions when the president speaks here shortly. >> a...

Can do that anymore? >> its going to be difficult. war is war. we need to be clear about that. when war happens, every day and ordinary people that live there will be impacted. its important to think about president biden is also dealing with a coalition, folks, that are impacting the kinds of decisions he makes. we were lauding him, celebrating him, for building that coalition to allow us to do what we have done so far, and that coalition also provides constraints, restraints and its one thing ...

Action one way or another irrespective of what they do, but everything weve done, the approach starts with coordinating allies and partners. >> all right. another way of ratcheting things up on the russians is zelenskyy suggested terminating russias status. preferential trading status, most favored nation status. is that something were considering? >> look, chuck, let me say this. there are a series of things that are out there that were looking at to continue to ratchet up the pressure on vladi...

Democratic presidents before him. this was something that putin knew not to mess with the united states. putin needs to know that again. we need to start standing up. why are we even ho-humming around the fact that we are still taking russian oil? why are we doing that? why would we take money from evil dictators? you never sleep with the devil because the devil then owns you. the europeans are finding that out now. we need to be smarter than that. >> thank you for coming on. hope to have you on...
