the demented attempt to demand political help from president zelenskyy alock with 194 other house republicans voted against the first impeachment for abuse of power in that investigation. let s bring in former republican congressman david jolly and political analyst and national chairman of the serve america movement. it is sort of an audacity of dopes to make these comments but it shows how deadly serious the ex-president s act was of holding up miltd assistance for ukraine, david jolly. yeah. as you said for mccarthy it s ignorance or indifference. both of which is often guilt of. if it didn t pertain to national security we could laugh about it. if he thinks he can become
destruction surrounding them when are we going to hear and see that fatigue in the west. for everyone it is a bowl of 12 nobody remembers. i start to see the signs of it so that s like one of the worries. what president zelenskyy is doing and triging to speak to the people and the parliaments, the democratic representatives to try to glue and unite the society. russia military hardware might be obsolete and that warship is sleeping with spongebob but you know what they re doing with misinformation and there s radical politicians like kremlin
[lazer beam and sizzling sounds] so over the weekend republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy either ignorant of which is always possible with him or unbothered by also likely his own continued startling hypocrisy suggested russia would never have invaded ukraine ever in the first place if the u.s. had simply provided weapons to president zelenskyy sooner. here s why that matters. just two years ago he repeatedly defended the twice impeached ex-president s campaign to hold ill military aid for ukraine in

working is to strike civilian targets and infrastructure. it is a violation of the international laws of war. it doesn t affect the military balance of power. i think the russians have been reluctant to get too close to the nato presence in poland, romania and the other two nato adjoining countries. they re also enraged at the loss of that flagship. not just symbolic. it was a command and control ship and the air defense capability for fighting in the south. putin is running out of options. that is something that i think needs president zelenskyy to describe what that means for that his country and he talked about the possibility, the prospect of nuclear weapons used by putin.
