Point putin is saying im going to invade or hes certainly launching an intimidate campaign to get what he wants. so where are we this morning? >> lets start with the intimidation campaign. because thats happening right now. that is under way and weve already seen a russian military build up, much of it along the russian border with ukraine in the east where the ukrainian army is largely dug in, where theres a pocket held by pro-russian separatists. now were seeing a more expanded military presen...

Prices so what is the plan to cut those costs? how does taking 18 cents a gallon off your bill sound? pretty good, right? it is an idea from two democrats but may already be hitting roadblocks on that. also this morning, our former presidents national archive nightmare. president biden ordering the national archives to turn over trump white house visitor logs to the white house committee. what those could reveal. we want to start with the crisis in europe. i want to bring in peter baker, chief w...

"p "puck" that biden has effectively driven this narrative, you say, and you write a line here which jumped out to me, you said the biden strategy is starting to look like a pretty good one. what is better than tricking the guy who threatened war into threatening peace? first of all, thats very elegant writing. second, i do think that it describes a situation where, look, every day there is diplomacy. every day there is running in place is a day where russian troops arent crossing the border aga...
