all their accusations that he can't respond to that. the additional issue of disco this is a guy running for office and whether you like it or not a lot of people view these as political prosecutions. is he for britain from placing them in that context and talking about the motivations of some of the people working with prosecutors? we will see how far the judge takes it but it is a serious question and a little unprecedented. paul: of the witness in particular, the prosecution witness, donald trump's former fixer who was on msnbc all the time calling donald trump a liar and the judge says trump can't say anything about:. >> gag orders are fairly common or not unheard of, but this is so broad and trump is not trying to win the case in court, he thinks manhattan is 87% voting for biden last
pro-palestinian encampments. the arrests come after he testified about anti-semitism on campus. >> we condemned the anti-semitism that is so pervasive today. anti-semitism has no place on our campus and i am personally committed to doing everything i can to confront it directly. paul: let's bring back our panel. these protesters, what do they want? bill:ostensibly they want a cease-fire in gaza. really, they are anti-israel, they want to disrupt life. right now they are planning on disrupting the democratic national convention and it is kind of a war between liberals and progressives or progressives and radicals. it is -- the targets -- conservatives don't run colleges and are not usually
need. a long-range weapon, in order to take on russia, it has taken too long for those weapons to arrive in ukraine, too much fear of escalation rather than being clear that the war aim is for russia to be defeated. that's what we need to see from the biden administration, we need to see clarity so the american public are convinced this is important and doable. and i think it is doable and lots of people say this is an issue for europe and we've rapidly become an issue for the united states if vladimir putin wins. paul: because of the threat to nato and vladimir putin's armies would move up to more of the border of nato but do you think vladimir putin would threaten nato? >> yes. i believe he would stop in
ukraine to push the soviets back if we can and not have american troops. in the bush white house, we didn't do anything if the iraqis were like ukraine, fighting against the enemy and we have a great ally there and it is for america's that he voted. paul: democrats get some credit for helping the rule passed that allowed this to go to the floor and pass. >> absolutely right. it is rare for the opposition party to vote for majority party's rule but once the new house comes in if republicans take control look at who is on the rules committee. paul: still ahead, as a deeply divided congress votes to approve critical aid to our allies we talk to former prime minister liz truss and the
>> the islamic republic has been at war with the jewish state for 45 years, not sure will deter iran. we will see multiple rounds, this has been a war in the shadows and the islamic republic using its proxies, the first direct attack against the jewish state. nothing happened, there were a bunch of drones, toys, they did everything possible to downplay this because they were actually surprised by israeli capabilities for air defense systems in terms of the strike at an airbase. paul: regarding the nuclear program, they've been moving forward, you documented this all along the way. what should president biden do to change his policy to contain this?
in favor of america's role in the world. we are the leader of the free world. we cannot sees to be that shining city on a hill and when you see what is happening with russia, china, and iran -- and their unholy alliance that seeks to undermine destabilize free world i'm frankly flabbergasted by colleagues who have bought into the nonsense coming out of russia -- and elsewhere as opposed to stanging by president reagan's mantra of peace through strength. speaker johnson deserves the support not only of the republican conference but of the institution. he's doing what is right. at the right moment for the right reasons -- knowing full well it may cost him his job. but frankly, i think the institution republicans and democrats need to say we're not going to participate in this. we're not going to allow marjorie taylor green or matt gaetz or paul or anyone else to throw this house into chaos
paul: with a full jury of 12 people and six alternates now seated opening statements set for monday in the hush money trial in manhattan. the former president facing a gag order, prosecutors say he has already violated as the supreme court is set to hear oral arguments in his bid to claim immunity from criminal prosecution with a decision expected from the justices. by late june. it is shaping up to be a busy week for the former president and his legal team. what is the most significant news we learned from the trial? >> the biggest thing is a little about about these 12 people and a slice of new york who will be rendering a verdict in this case. that was expectation that jury selection might take a couple weeks. the judge and lawyers blazed through that. these 12 anonymous people on investment banker, educator,
his desire to have negotiations has gone nowhere. >> donald trump adopted a policy of maximum pressure which brought the irani and economy to its knees, general soleimani, battlefield commander, and president biden came into office and said maximum pressure doesn't work, i will adopt a policy of maximum diplomacy. it turned into maximum different and maximum concessions and most of iran's nuclear escalation has occurred on president biden's watch. he needs to make clear rhetorically and in terms of us military positioning that he's prepared to take care of iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. at the end of the day, irradiance are on track to build an intercontinental ballistic missile which will be nuclear tipped, only has one address, the united states of america. up to the united states, not a small country like israel, to deal with the growing nuclear weapons threat. paul: do you see any evidence
lopsided opposition, she wouldn't put through a resolution to bring down the speaker and she didn't. paul: she offered an amendment to one of the bills that would have stripped aid for ukraine. she only got 71 republicans for that so that suggest there's not even majority republicans for that and 112 votes, difference between 71-112, some republicans are trying to protect the red flag in the primary. >> that is correct. the overall vote was so lopsided he gave some of these people who face tough questions about ukraine through their constituents a free vote to vote no knowing the bill was going to go through. it is important to underline that 1/3 of this funding for ukraine is to replenish united states weapons stocks. paul: we've been transferring weapons to ukraine. >> that's important to understand because think about
because he cannot be rewarded for aggression and the signal that is "happening now," to these authoritarian regimes is aggression is rewarded and that is a terrible thing. there were huge failings in 2014-15 when vladimir putin was not taken on over what was happening, that is why we have ended up where we are with the invasion of ukraine so we could have learned about the lessons of history but we went through this in the 1930s for the sake of commerce, with germany and thought hitler could be maintained and we ended up with the second world war and we are in a dangerous position. paul: as you look at the
