what we ve been discussing w today, which involved in a regular channel, was a request that went against u.s. policy that have have undermined the rule of law and our long-standing policy goals in ukraine, as in other countries in the post-soviet space. those policies which were indeed championed by ambassador yovanovitch. you also testified on october 15th in the deposition about fundamental reforms necessary for ukraine to fight corruption and to transform the country. and you t cited the importance reforming certain institutions, notably was investigating president trump s political opponents a part of those necessary reforms? was it on that list of yours or indeed was it on any list? no, they weren t. in fact, historically, is it not true that a major problem in the ukraine has been its misuse of prosecutors, precisely to conduct investigation of political opponents. that s a legacy i dare suggest from the soviet era when, as you stated in your testimony, prosecutors ....
Possibly be some sort of turnaround between now and the 2024 republican convention no, it doesn t mean that i mean, that could happen, anything is possible i think it is a little bit too soon to write his 2024 obituar just yet having said that, if you tal to people in the desantis orbit, there are a few straight shooters, and people acting in good faith he will privately tell you that any of this wa good news. and i think their viewers ar smart enough to realize. i mean, brandon, what i just so striking to me is that here you have someone who ha really made himself in trump s vision right? not just sort of stylistically but in terms of policy positions. whether you look at th six-week abortion ban that was recently pushed in your state, passed in your state the lgbtq, the tax on the lgbt community. the loosening of restriction on guns. i mean, across the board he is trying to out-trump trump. and even still there is this 1 point gap, brandon talk to me about what that ....

We re talking about margorie taylor greene, heckling. that is not the decor rum, that is not the speakership that mccarthy thought he was getting into. the result of this is also somewhat intentional. white house officials today, and aides that have been working on the strategy moving forward, as we get to maybe a likely potential re-election announcement, a main part of the strategy is drawing the contrast of the economic policies of the white house, and for a while, they were looking for a foe there, and they found it with some of the prose posals coming from republicans, and also the heckling put a spotlight on some of those proposals. it was an effort to show, bring it on, he s ready for the fight. it was not just about the substance, but it was leer that stylistically, he wanted to send a message, i m ready. and the thing too, kevin mccarthy was not trying to shush people out of some sort of civic ....
