a lot of artillery, a lot of tanks, a lot of air defense systems. it's not like the europeans have been doing nothing. i think something like 60% so far of the funding for ukraine has come from europe. it should be more. the europeans lack specific systems only the americans can provide. the atacms and systems like that. the f-16s and stuff like that, there is no european equivalent. this is an enormous relief for europe, as well, which is, i think, doing its best to try and catch up. there are a lot of countries in europe, and they don't integrate their military. they don't integrate their defense production. they are going to take a while to do that. it's happening, but it is happening slowly. >> david, can you talk through

putin. what are going to be the concessions they're willing to make? if, at the end of the day, we're funneling billions and billions without any end state in mind or strategy to lead to the end state, that does feed into what to her side's argument was, that there has to be some kind of strategy and some kind of end in sight, instead of just spending money on endless war. >> well, i will say, inside the white house, the belief has been we need this money so we can move both sides toward a settlement. without this money, putin goes wherever he wants to go. with this support, with the united states and europe behind zelenskyy's fight, behind ukraine's fight, that's the best hope of ending this war. i certainly agree with that assessment. it makes a lot of sense. i do want to say, yes, it was the cia director's briefing and other briefings that mike johnson got that, as we learned during donald trump's

the 60s, cataclysm could have resulted because of the encroachments of the soviet union. hard to imagine there might not have been a nuclear exchange in europe then. the lesson of history, you confront threats early so they do not metastasize. what the speaker did here with the leadership of the president is a really remarkable and strong moment, as we like to talk about. he may have come to it late, but that doesn't matter. this is like the prodigal son, right? we celebrate when we get the right result. >> right. it turns out the big winner of this congress is president joe biden. punch bowl news points out house republicans came into the 118th congress with big plans. they were going to cut taxes and spending, impeach president joe biden and members of his cabinet, and use their leverage to force democrats to accept stringent, new border security

arctic ice the size of alaska and more in antarctica, and it threatens coastal communities, maybe even pensacola, hopefully not, someday. this is an existential threat to our marine life and the weather patterns that have come out of that. >> you're also looking at emissions. where do we stand? >> sure. so the problem is, the carbon dioxide we've been pouring into the atmosphere for as long as we've been burning any kind of fuel to make heat for other purposes, now we're suffering the consequences. we've been putting co2 into the air. here's what's happened. total co2 emissions, i did this by region and country. there is good news and less good news. europe's emissions of co2 peaked early, and they have actually done a decent job of getting them down to here. the u.s. peaked over here and have gotten them down a little bit. look at china. look at the rest of asia.

certainly, this is a vote that they took over the weekend that you guys have been right to point out is a marked change in johnson's personal opinion from when he was just a member to now being a speaker. it's also a moment where we heard him, time and again, say that he was willing to put the selfish reasons and his job on the backburner to do the right thing, in his words. >> ed, elise here. if this $61 billion in funding for ukraine had been held up even longer, would other european allies have stepped up, or would it have just been the beginning of the end there? >> i think the briefing that speaker johnson got was that this would be the beginning of the end. if american aid hadn't come in 2024, then he couldn't guarantee that ukraine would not have fallen by the end of 2024. look, i mean, europeans have been putting a lot of money in and quite a lot of resources in.

johnson got were strong and shocking enough for him to realize that he would be on the wrong side of history if he didn't do the right thing. he did do -- as jon said, he did do the right thing, and he really deserves applause for that, even though it was several months too late. but the price he's going to pay for this is yet to be seen. you know, i do expect there will be some kind of motion to vacate soon. >> well, the democrats most likely will support him in that. we'll see what happens here. elise, though, you know, it's so fascinaing about these briefings that the speaker received. made him understand that he really didn't have much of a choice if he wanted to do what was best for america, the best for western europe, the best for the west, the best for freedom. but we hear this from time to time from presidents. whether it was from when bill

good order. but itjust the fact that the ukrainians have been rationing this aid? will that aid that now have in warehouses in ukraine be used? perhaps it was being stored in case the bill didn't go through. we will actually see in quick order a difference on the battlefield. ads, quick order a difference on the battlefield.— quick order a difference on the battlefield. �* , ., battlefield. a few contacts said to me they're _ battlefield. a few contacts said to me they're already _ battlefield. a few contacts said to me they're already feeling - battlefield. a few contacts said to me they're already feeling the - me they're already feeling the difference, which might be purely psychological, but you think about it, ukraine didn't know where new shells were coming from. that didn't mean it kept firing shells at the same rate until it ran out. they obviously have have rationing for their weapons systems, so they've had to plan for how they were going to get through this year if nothing else came other than what they knew about from europe. and of course knowing that something's coming, and i think the aid will flow pretty quickly, and it's ready to go, but
