States that these two rival powers are closer to one another than either one is to the united states. >> so richard. >> yes, sir. >> can i stop you there? >> yes, sir. >> and lets say something really unpopular right now. we are at war. this world is at war, and it can escalate into world war iii. when we were in world war ii we were allied with one of the most evil men of the 20th century in stalin, and you have republicans and democrats both seeing who can bash china the most. i understand why...

Of hitler so many years ago. i do think he moved that needle today. we dont like dictators like vladimir putin dictate the terms . we have to stop letting him deter us in setting redlines that this administration is afraid to cross. where hes going to move the needle, look, president biden send in the air defense systems that the ukrainians have been asking for brights and those antiship missiles so they can defend their ports. ukrainians are clearly two figh and die for their territory and we h...

Louder. and confused the fringe for being a majority of the country. after the speech, we heard from texas republican senator cornyn, who compared zelenskyy to churchill. and then compared to joe biden to fdr. have these past few weeks change the narrative for republicans? >> of course they have. you and i would have been knocked out of our chairs three weeks ago, if we thought of any circumstance and which john cornyn of texas, a republican, would be comparing joe biden to fdr, the zeitgeist ha...

During world war ii, joseph p. kennedy, the father of the presidents son, he told f.d.r. and the secretary state that he thought hitler would win the war. he advised the united states to make peace with hitler. its almost outrageous in retrospect. we look at conflict. the intelligence community doesnt always get it right. back to what john kirby said today about i thought he got it right when he mentioned how this withdrawal of russian forces is not a retreat. its a refit, rearming. these cease ...

Today, which was that anybody, vladimir putin, can take anything for a month. what happens now is what matters, staying united, meaning there are not countries in the the eu that allow russia greater access to the international finance system again. im reminded sometimes these days of what president bidens mentor in some ways, his mental inspiration, fdr said, which is, our strength, he said, is our unity of purpose. that is very much on his mind these days. hes not going to be judged tomorrow. ...

The weapons were giving them. i would say we got to put more in his hands, not just javelin antitank but the british in laws, as well as stingers and antiair missiles. ill quote with a churchill quote, the most quotable man in history. he told fdr, give us the tools. we will finish the job. and u.s. ultimately ended up in combat but i think the british knew what they needed and ukrainians know what they need as well. >> in fact, when i was in munich at the security conference last month, the -- ...
