house. >> okay, now that you brought that up, i was going to hold this for a little bit, but let's play, dueling banjos in the democratic party. congresswoman crockett and congresswoman rochon, on this issue about whether to save speaker johnson. >> i disagree with speaker johnson on many issues and have been very critical of him, but he did the right thing and he deserves to keep his job until the end of his term. >> we don't do things for you or save you because you did the bare minimum of doing your job. doing the decent thing, as allies and friends of various nations and countries, that is just the bare minimum. >> so, sophia, given your reporting, these are the folks you cover. the likelihood of them doing, what congresswoman edwards said, that democrats are going to save her johnson? >> look, house democratic

it's of interest for both the republicans and democrats. >> president zelenskyy, back in february, donald trump encouraged putin to invade nato countries that he doesn't believe are contributing enough to defense spending. what kind of a message do you think that sends to the world? >> translator: well, i don't know the details of that speech. i know for sure if ukraine fails, then putin definitely will invade the baltic countries. why? not because there's some interesting idea, strategy, but because putin wants to return the influence of the soviet union. and he really wants to retake with force, through war -- he wants to retake all former soviet republics and now independent states.

now we see him powerless. the judge has been really effective. how they handle the gag order remains to be seen while joe biden is campaigning. the problem for joe biden and the democrats is, trump is crowding -- the trial is crowding out everything else. >> mm-hmm. >> he does student loans. everything else is crowded out. it's the trump story. that's what happened in 2016 to hillary clinton. that could be replicated this year. i think it's really -- the enthusiasm issue and young voter issue is critical. as long as this war in gaza goes on, this is going to be a problem with young voters. they have an off ramp, rfk junior. i know your poll shows rfk jr. would hurt trump more than biden hypothetically, and it's very early in polling to say, but i think the white house -- i know the white house is more afraid

in the last three months. >> coming after the state of the union. and he's had a campaign blitz. >> in the democratic primaries such as they were, coming to an end, there's democrats rallying around biden. also, this slight improvement here for biden tracks with a slight improvement in his job approval rating. it now sits at 42%. go back to our last poll. look at this. he was an all-time low for him last time around. now back over 40%. this is the highest biden's job approval has been in our poll since last spring. so, again, these are encouraging signs for joe biden, although, broader picture here, this 42% approval rating, history says probably by itself, not enough. he will need more. put this in context. these are other presidents. where were their approval ratings? biden is 42%. one thing, they were all higher than joe biden. the other thing, two presidents on this list who did not win re-election, of course, donald trump four years ago.

russia is deserting the battlefield, they shoot them on sight. we cannot do that because we have democratic values, believe in the democratic country. to be frank, in ukraine, we have a lot of people who are ready to protect the motherland. but, of course, the motivation, the morale can go down, especially when they go to the frontline and they see that, well, there are no shells, there is no equipment. that's why the aid from the states is so important. people who were trained -- they need to be trained by professional people, and they need to have the equipment to be used so that they have this equipment not only on the training field but also on the actual battlefield. and then, indeed, they can show the performance on the frontline.

at the moment, i know that -- well, things -- i'm sure people who know him well, they know that you can never trust putin. it's impossible. so the strategy of ending the war should be based not on the words which putin says or some other people from his group entourage says, but something very specific, something very tangible with ukraine that is dependent and democratic, and i'm department that everyone is interested in that. the political leaders are interested in having ukraine independent and sovereign and democratic.
