>> well, first of all, thats the answer to the question you were just discussing with abby about the democratic base, as well as the republican base. donald trump galvanizes the republican base but hes also a useful foil for democrats. theyre going to look to elevate him just as trumps looking to elevate himself. this moment right now is a very good moment for trump comparatively because biden is low. but were going to have to see, a, the effect on the midterm elections, and, b, where biden is n...

The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen since the taliban takeover last summer and now the country is in the grip of a bitterly cold winter. the united nations has appealed for more than three and a half billion pounds in aid to try to help avert catastrophe. afghans are facing soaring unemployment, with many unable to feed theirfamilies or heat their homes. the un says nearly 24.5 million people are in need of humanitarian help, and a million children are thought to be at risk from severe m...

About the successor in office. i think the reverse of that is also true. i think president biden did a disservice now we are talking about unity of talking about spreading a web of lies about as predecessor in office. so, in a day of unity, and a day when we commemorate what happens onjanuary day when we commemorate what happens on january the 6th a day when we commemorate what happens onjanuary the 6th a year ago, i dont think that is the right tone. but there is no unity, republicans are not t...

Russia as he tries to tighten his grip on power in the wake of deadly protests. well have a live report from the region. >> announcer: live from cnn center this is "cnn newsroom" with lynda kinkade. >> and we begin with the covid pandemic. its a picture ever more complicated. in europe the u.k. has joined only a handful of countries reporting 150,000 total deaths from the pandemic. in italy a mandate for everyone over the age of 50 to be vaccinated appears to have yielded some good results. sinc...

President as president biden said of trump, who held quite this much sway over the primary electorate. if youre a republican and you come out against trump, you are asking for a primary opponent. in some cases weve seen trump basically recruit candidates to run against incumbents who oppose him and even put out open job advertisements asking for someone to run to oppose them. his grip on the republican party is ironclad not only in that sense, but state republican parties are built in his image ...

I have covered the ohio republican primary, the pennsylvania senate republican primary, and it has become sort of a necessary part of running, and -- and, you know, it defies logic. the party that says that they are concerned about cancel culture cancelling conservative members who champion conservative policies but dont necessarily want to align themselves with the former president. >> john, and i want to follow up with that because you have a really good column this week about the progression ...

Power, that the current president appears to be cementing his grip on power. in fact a spokesman for the former president has come out and said that the former president voluntarily gave up his seat as the head of the national security council and now fully supports the current president and is urging the kazakh nation to rally around him. it certainly seems as though the kazakh government in no way is looking to speak to the protesters or to try to give in to their demands. in fact the presiden...

Speaker. _ approach for the country. m speaker, inflation is about to hit 6%. thats the highest rate since the early 90s, when the conservatives had been in powerfor over a decade. marred in their sleaze with a divided party, a prime minister losing the support of his backbenchers and governing shambolic lee, and a labour party, mr speaker, who is ready to take over and provide britain with a better future. familiarstuff, mr speaker. future. familiar stuff, mr speaker. the future. familiarstuff,...

Trump has a hold on the party. lindsey graham said last night that he wont support mitch mcconnell, who has been in power far longer than trump, if mcconnell cant work with trump. that is very, very different from lindsey grahams position after the capitol riot. how is it that donald trump who lost the white house, lost the house, lost the senate still has such a grip on the party, career republicans who have been in office for decades? >> in one word, fear. its the fear that republican politici...

Onto try and clamp down on the situation. and one of the things the president has done in that bid to also consolidate that power is yesterday the telephone call with the russian president vladimir putin and thanked vladimir putin for moving not only the russian forces into kazakhstan but also doing that very, very quickly. it was really interesting to see how fast the russians moved to get their troops, 3,000 troops mostly paratroopers into that country really fast using some 70 aircraft to mov...
