Apaplectic had someone ignored subpoenas. >> adam schiff saying this tonight about the lawsuit against the committee. listen? >> he claims his about face is purported desire to cooperate, and then his change of heart was a committee decision to subpoena phone records. that suggests that perhaps he was concerned that the phone records might cop ntradict whate was telling the committee. maybe it was the president that got upset with his book or that he was cooperating. i dont know. but the reality...

Remember, they also brought down the robert e. lee statue that stood in charlottesville, virginia. it was all the way back in 2016 that high school students from charlottesville petition to have that robert e. lee taken down. the city council voted the following year, 2017, that it should be taken down. but while the whole question of what was going to happen to that statuesque up in legal wrangling in 2017, new nazi white supremacists and neo-confederate groups seized on the very threat that th...

Underscore. whatever tucker carlson is saying it is a myth that the, that ukraine is somehow threatening russia. lets be crystal clear about that. this was completely, this crisis by vladimir putin. what i worry about and looking for, if he keeps doubling down on that myth, then that is a pretext for military intervention. and i dont know if putins going to invade. nobody knows. i dont know bill burns at the cia doesnt know. i dont even know if vladimir putin himself decided, but if he keeps esc...

Video conference with putin today, carry casper notwithstanding? >> well, the way i stands behind the scenes publicly and -- president biden communicated to president putin today was very much that, that they dont want to see war. what they want is what they wanted at the geneva summit that i went to and the whole world watched, which is basically de-escalation and the opening of diplomatic channels. you know we have been told that putin himself did not mention russian troops invading ukraine. o...

>> i certainly hope that the president approached this with a message of strength and resolve. theres no excuse for the president doing this. theres no pretext he can offer as an excuse amassing some 90,000 or perhaps over 100,000 russian troops on the ukranian border, so i hope the president didnt rule out anything. i hope he didnt rule out a military response frankly from the united states, but i hope he also made it very, very clear that-ins not a good way to get concessions from the west and...
