inside russia. right now vladimir putin is still in charge. in fact, he might have just spoken for the first time since the attempted rebellion over the weekend. we ll tell you what he said and why there are questions about when and where this new video of putin the kremlin released this morning has come from. it has been a confusing and volatile 72 hours. longtime ally yevgeny prigozhin began and quickly called off an attempt to overtake the military leaders. how close did he get? why suddenly did he turn around? putin is known for viciously crushing dissent. why exactly did he let prigozhin go? the warlord hasn t been publicly seen or heard from since he apparently fled on saturday. we have reporters in moscow, ukraine and the white house along with experts on russia, putin and prigozhin. whatever happens in russia will have a profound impact not just on the stability of that country, but far-reaching consequences for the war in ukraine and well beyond that. it can affect
to serve a second term as president. age be . t unfortunately, they can t keep him off every stage. yesterday, wterdaye saw him fall lectim to what could have only been a maga sympathizing sandbag at the air forcee watc academy. as we watch the thh e image ofnh our forty sixth president laid stond, wee stage, stunne couldn t help but wonder, is joe biden really as sharp as he asserts is of course, no one can answer for joe bidenhiml as clear and concisely as joe himself. please clarify specifically,h have you taken a cognitiveow. i haven t taken a test.: no whi y the would i take a test? come on , man.n, that s like saying you before wiu got in this program, you take a test wherein you re taking cocaine or not. what do you think? so one oddly placedoddly refe reference to cocaine in an interview. big deal . in least it gets around. well, here. ] okay, well, maybe he s losts some motor function. i mean, that happens with age and injuries. nothing to be ashamed of.es. a
