as white house communications director. and tiktok on the clock again. now the white house and congress, set their sights on the mega popular app. over, over, guess what? security concerns. as data the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening, once again, i m stephanie ruhle, back at 30 rock, after dodging reporter questions for days, of speaker kevin mccarthy goes on the defensive today, after their controversial move to fox news host tucker carlson, first dibs on tens of thousands of hours of security video, from january 6th. last week, carlson said, he and his team have already access to the footage. democrats, of course, slammed mccarthy s decision, raising serious concerns about tucker carlson s false claims about the capitol attack. they are also worried that certain security operations on the hill can be made public. today, mccarthy made no apologies about that decision. tucker was interested. they have an exclusive. then i ll give it out to the
united states and around the world. i m fareed zakaria. today we devote the program to that sobering anniversary. one year since russia s full-scale invasion of ukraine. i ll bring you my interview with the national security adviser jake sullivan and usaid administrator samantha powell about where the war and america s assistance go from here. also, who should foot the bill for the hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to ukraine? former treasury secretary larry summers says the answer is easy. listen to him explain his plan. then why putin s war in ukraine may not be proceeding as he hoped. the russian president may be getting exactly what he always wanted back home in russia. the new york times valerie hopkins will explain. but first, here s my take. one year into russia s naked aggression against ukraine, it s become clear that neither side is strong enough to win the war nor weak enough to sue for peace. the conflict has settled into a stalemate. after m
preparations the president of the united states met with ukraine s president just four days short of year that russian forces invaded. with reminders that continuing threats quite literally sounding all around, the two leaders. many american presidents have made dramatic trips before, nixon to china, reagan to the berlin wall and president xi visited u.s. troops in war zones but never like this. this was the first trip ever by an american president into a worn zone without the protection of u.s. troops on the ground or american warplanes controlling the airspace overhead. american air assets were active on ukraine s border and moscow was told about it in advance. as for the presidents own message, here is some of what he had to say we know, it was one year ago this week. that we spoke on the telephone with the president. it was very late at night in washington, very early in the morning here in kyiv. russian planes were in the air and tanks were rolling across your border.
