And i identify as nonbinary, but i love all genders. i think they dont have the capability to understand us. they didnt grow up in our time. they dont know exactly what were going through. >> reporter: this teenager is thinking of becoming a writer. not a surprise in a house like this one. when she hears adults attack books, she hears an attack on kids like her. >> what else am i supposed to read? obviously theyre supposed to read, but they should read about themselves, see themselves in the boo...

And finally, between these two conversations, i am sure there is a conversation about risk. what is the risk to our capability, why is the risk to our capacity? both today and in the future. and that conversation, it then goes forward to assess what we can support, and should support. but let us not forget one thing, katie. i think it is very important. it is not just the united states that is supplying acquit much to the ukrainians. it is also other countries around the world. we read and saw t...

Overseas. but, is a u.s. putting itself at risk by sending so much equipment to the ukraine? is there a backfill problem that we are going to have, because this is coming out of the war reserve? >> well, good morning katie. how are you this? morning thank you so much for having me on. i can only imagine the conversations that are happening in the department of defense. as ukraines requests come in, i can only imagine that the service chiefs along with the chairman of the joint chiefs can sit bac...

Monitored? >> no. >> guarantee that? >> so what we do, we in the department of homeland security dont monitor american citizens. >> you dont, but will this change that? >> no, no, the board does not have any operational capability. what it will do is gather together best practices in addressing the threat of disinformation from foreign state adversaries, from the cartels and disseminate those best practices to the operators that have been executing and addressing this threat for years. >> republ...

Done? 200 tanks or so and those are badly needed by the ukrainians. and the ukrainians are taking those and using them to good effect. they have to replenish their losses as well. we think the russians lost about 1,000 tanks. i think probably the ukrainians have lost substantially less than that. probably in the range of 2 or 300. another 200 tanks coming into the inventory to be used by front line troops is a very significant addition to the capability there. the nato capabilities being provide...

Get logistics support. however, having said that, they still dont have the capability within their soldier base, in my view, having seen soldiers train and exercise. they are going to have difficulty supporting those soldiers with aircraft. they have shown their propensity to use artillery to breach holes in the defensive line. we have seen that in the past and then send in small forces to conduct reconnaissance in force. thats the early stage. we may see that go on for a while, but truthfully a...

That has significance to it. that will have some impact. >> it has always been an objective of the russian federation to take the entire coast of the azov sea and black sea. and on decodesa is the prize. but they havent shown the capability to take the ground forces. what were seeing with the strikes on the airport, im hazarding a guess here, there have been reports of caliber cruise missile launches from russian submarines in the black sea. reports of them reloaded in some of the ports with cal...

And luhansk provinces. i dont believe theyre going to achieve a whole lot of military success. they are moving very slowly. they are about a week behind schedule in terms of their attack operations. ukraine is showing great capability in countering those forces and as more and more equipment gets to the ukrainian forces in the east, especially those artillery pieces to conduct counter artillery fires, youre going to see more of a stalemate for a long time. s >> as you talk about more equipment t...

Adopted a new strategy. i wonder what you made of defense secretary lloyd austins comments that he made on monday in poland in his news conference after his trip to kyiv. take a listen. >> we want to see russia weakened to the degree that it cant do the kinds of things that it has done in invading ukraine. so it has already lost a lot of military capability and a lot of its troops, quite frankly. and we want to see them not have the capability to very quickly reproduce that capability. >> so is ...

Have to look at is this is a very fluid situation, so the momentum could change very, very quickly. i think that what were seeing is the ukrainians obviously have the capability and the capacity to resist in particular looking at whats happening around kharkiv, looking at whats happening around izium, those two areas indicate that the ukrainians are at the very at least holding their own in parts of the eastern area. however, the russians are coming in with fresh troops, with more equipment, wit...
