Materializing that threatens his own regime, and also the opportunity. the opportunity of a company the u.s. having a coup attempt on january 6. i fear that if we had not had that episode, we would probably not be facing these kinds of situations, these kinds of challenges. thats not causality, but there is a link there. i think its also covid. the russians are actually having a hard time with covid right now. its only going to get worse. their vaccine is not going to be nearly as effective as o...

Is going to have to be quite the interrogation, if not inquiry, of that jury to make sure none of them were -- were talked to or saw something. my concern is maybe keep them sequestered. but again, i think that there is going to be a -- a decision tomorrow. the decision is now looking closer towards that they are going to be a hung jury. >> first of all, i appreciate you humoring my vocabulary choices there. thank you for that. sarah, if there is a hung jury here, what do you think the likelihoo...

Enthusiastic about the kinds of sachk shuns that the united states is prepared to apply to russia. in germany, you have gotten a sense of reluctance on the part of the new german government to commit to suspending this new gas pipeline from russia to germany even if russia invades ukraine. i think vladimir putin correctly understands that theres not rock-solid unity on the part of the west. and so i think he has a lot of leverage here. i would add to what evelyn said quite preceptively is putin ...

Using the leverage of the white house and the pressure tactics that the white house and the faa can bring to bear. and listen, to be very clear, the airlines have decided that they were going to use their leverage and mount a public relations campaign aimed directly at the cell phone industry and the white house. they did that yesterday in an unprecedented letter with every single airline ceo writing to the white house and the transportation secretary and the faa and the fcc saying, you either a...

Year. last month, john deere workers, able to secure a landmark deal after going on strike for more than a month. capping off a year where we saw a real uptick in organized labor activity, even in nonunion businesses. workers were able to use newfound leverage to lobby successfully for more pay, better treatment, and additional benefits. ayman, your take. >> im keeping an eye overseas and you had my man ennis canter from the boston celtics, become an american citizen, going after the chinese gov...

Innovate ukraine. lets bring in general jack keane, a fox news contributor news senior strategic analyst, former vice chief of staff of the army. general, great to see you. you have great insight on this. im curious what you think putins play here. hes has pulled 10,000 troops away and asked for this call with biden. is he looking for leverage? >> yeah, we dont know the content of the previous call. im not suggesting that we need to know that. based on the first phone call, may have something to...

It wasnt a particularly difficult calculation on their part to accept that request because president biden as one senior administration put it feels that there is no substitute for direct leader to leader conversation like this, especially with the situation as precarious as the one we potentially face with ukraine. so you have to look at the leverage both sides feel they have in this situation. president putin has it in the form of 100,000 members of his military that he has put on ukraines bor...

Those negotiations in geneva will take place at the level of the deputy secretary of state. putin and biden will not be involved in it. >> susan, it makes people wonder hearing your analysis here and i dont have any reason to doubt that it spot on, why would president biden take this call? i mean, he doesnt have the leverage it sound like, its not on his turf, he doesnt have the ability to make decisions, its not as if he has to be subservient to putin. why the call in. >> the white house has sa...

Control. >> putins only real leverage is those 100,000 troops on the border. thats why he manufactured this crisis. hoping to pressure even blackmail the u.s. into providing the security guarantees that he wanted. second biden call earlier on the program suggest to me is looking for diplomatic off ramp to get the u.s. to agree to the security guarantees that he wants without having to pay a price and without being able to avoid the threaten u.s. european sanctions that could really damage the fr...

But they did say that the u.s. military forces in ukraine are off the table. whether that gives putin some kind of leverage remains to be seen. he has kind of backed himself into a corner, putin has, because hes making very specific demands and on a short time line. if he doesnt get what he wants, it remains to be seen if he uses that as a pretext as an attack. >> and putin told biden that new sanctions against russia would be a quote, colossal mistake? obviously, if he carries out an incursion ...
