>> WHILE PRESIDENT BIDEN SPENT
THE WEEK IN IRAQ MEETING WITH
ALLIES, HE SPOTTED ESTHER HAS
BEEN INSISTING THAT UKRAINE
WILL BE BETTER OFF IF HE WAS
STILL IN THE OH OVAL OFFICE.
>> WHAT WE CAN DO IS ENORMOUS.
AND WE SHOULD BE DOING IT, AND
WE SHOULD BE HELPING THEM TO
SURVIVE.
THEY’RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB,
BUT YOU, KNOW I WAS THE ONE
THAT SAID THAT EVERYONE CAN USE
TECHNOLOGY, TAKING A LOT OF
HEAT.
AND I SAID IT IN A VERY OPEN
WAY.
>> OKAY, SO THAT REFERENCE TO
JAVELINS RINGS A BELL, IT’S
BECAUSE THOSE EXACT WEAPONS
WHERE THE CENTER OF TRUMP’S
FIRST IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
SEE, BACK IN 2019, HE TRY TO
LEVERAGE THOSE SAME JAVELIN
ANTI-TANK WEAPONS OVER UKRAINE,
IN EXCHANGE FOR A MADE-UP
SCANDAL ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S SON.
YOU ALL REMEMBER THAT.
CHRIS, AND EUGENE THEY’RE STILL
WITH US.
CHRIS, TRUMP’S BIG PLAN FOR
COUNTERING RUSSIA’S INVASION
WOULD BE TO THREATEN TO DROP A
NUCLEAR BOMB ON RUSSIA.
OKAY?
SO IT SEEMS KIND OF OBVIOUS,
BUT IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT, SO CAN
YOU EXPLAIN WHY THAT’S A
TERRIBLE IDEA?
>> I DON’T THINK ANYONE WANTS A
NUCLEAR WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED
STATES AND RUSSIA.
WE CERTAINLY HEARD A LOT OF
NUCLEAR THREATS FROM PRESIDENT
PUTIN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
HE HAS PUT HIS NUCLEAR FORCES
ON HIGH ALERT AND THREATENED TO
ESCALATE, IF RUSSIA FEELS
THREATENED IN A CONFLICT.
I THINK IT’S DEFINITELY FAIR TO
SAY THAT THE U.S. IS PUSHING
BACK MORE AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST
PUTIN’S NUCLEAR THREATS,
REMINDING THE RUSSIANS THAT OF
COURSE, THE U.S. HAS THE MORE
ARSENAL, THAT WAS JUST
SHOULDN’T INK ANY TYPE OF
NUCLEAR FORCES WHETHER IN
UKRAINE OR OTHER PLACE IN THE
WORLD.
--
REMINDED THAT THEY’RE NOT THE
ONLY COUNTRY THAT HAS A NUCLEAR
ARSENAL.
>> THIS IS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
HINTED ABOUT A SECRET PLAN IN
2016.
IF YOU RECALL, HE SAID HE HAD A
SECRET PLAN TO DEFEAT ISIS.
BUT NEVER REALLY REVEALED OR
MATERIALIZED.
SO HE BELIEVES THIS STUFF
ANYMORE?
I MEAN, WHAT’S THE POINT OF ALL
OF THIS?
>> THIS IS JUST TO HIS NATURAL
SELF AND BRANDEIS MEANT, AND
JUST, RED MEAT FOR THE BASE.
I WANT TO JUST REMIND OUR
VIEWERS, DONALD TRUMP TRIED TO
EXTORT PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY.
THE SAME GUY WHO IS NOW AN
INTERNATIONAL HERO.
DONALD TRUMP WAS DENYING HIM
WEAPONS SO THAT AS YOU SAID, HE
COULD KICK UP SOME KIND OF DIRT
ON NOW PRESIDENT BIDEN.
EVERY REPUBLICAN WHO VOTED TO
ACQUIT HIM, AND TRUMP, HAVE A
MORAL STATE.
AND THEY CONTRIBUTED TO A SENSE
THAT PUTIN HAD, THAT AMERICA
WAS NOT REALLY WITH NATO.
THEY’RE GOING TO STAND WITH
THEM.
THAT HE COULD WALK INTO UKRAINE
AND SOMEHOW SEPARATE THEM FROM
THEIR EUROPEAN ALLIES.
SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
THERE.
AS FAR AS PUTIN GOES UP, HE AND
BIDEN, HE AND TRUMP WE ARE
JOINED AT THE HIP.
LET’S NOT FORGET THAT TRUMP WAS
REALLY THE BEST PROPAGANDA
MINISTER THAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE
HAD IN MANY, MANY YEARS.
HE PROVIDED ALL KINDS OF
JUSTIFICATIONS FOR EVERYTHING,
FROM THEIR SEIZURE OF CRIMEA,
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THEIR
INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN.
SO THIS IS JUST A LOT OF MEMORY
HOLDING AND AN ATTEMPT TO
WHITEWASH HISTORY.
BUT I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT FOR
ALL OF US TO REMEMBER WHAT HE
DID, AND WHAT REPUBLICANS DID
TO FRANKLY, ALIENATE AND
ISOLATE UKRAINE, AT A TIME JUST
AS NOW, THAT THEY BADLY NEED IT,
OR RYAN RUNNING OUT OF SUPPORT.
>> JEANNE, SPEAKING OF HISTORY.
WATCHING PRESIDENT BIDEN WITH
NATO LEADERS THIS WEEK, I
REALLY COULD NOT HELP BUT THINK
ABOUT TRUMP’S VISIT TO NATO IN
2017.
NOW, IF YOU RECALL, HE HAS
SHOVED THE PRIME MINISTER OF
MONTENEGRO OUT OF THE WAY ON
CAMERA.
NOW, THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO
YOU THINK OUR NATO ALLIES ARE
VIEWING THIS MOMENT, THAT TRUMP
IS NOT THERE?
HE’S NOT THE ONE IN CHARGE JOE
IN THIS PARTICULAR WAR.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
LEADERS OF COUNTRIES REALLY
LIKE, IS STABLE, RHETORIC TO
HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO WAS
PRESIDENT IN THE THINGS THAT HE
SAID.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, A
PRESIDENT WHO LIKES NATO, RIGHT?
AND DONALD TRUMP HAS SPENT
YEARS TALKING ABOUT, TALKING
DOWN TO NATO COUNTRIES, SAYING
THAT THEY WEREN’T DOING ENOUGH.
TALKING ABOUT AND THREATENING
TO PULL THE UNITED STATES OUT
OF NATO.
AND SO, THEY’RE MORE AT HOME.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE WAY THAT
THEY’RE TALKING WITH HIM.
A TRIPS EARLIER THIS YEAR,
DESPITE SOME OF THE TROUBLES
THEY HAD, OVER THAT TIME PERIOD,
AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR,
WHEN HE WAS WITH EMMANUEL
MACRON.
WHEN HE WAS TALKING WITH SOME
OF THESE OTHER LEADERS, THERE
IS MORE OF A COMPASS THERE.
AND THAT’S VERY OBVIOUS,
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT HE HAS
TALKED ABOUT NATO IN THE PAST.
AND FRANKLY, HOW HE CONTINUES
TO TALK ABOUT NATO, AND TO ACT
TO JENNIFER’S POINT THERE, IN
2014, WHEN PUTIN TO CRIMEA,
PART OF UKRAINE, OR WHAT USED
TO BE PART OF UKRAINE, TRUMP
PRAISED HIM, RIGHT?
AND CONTINUED TO PRAISE HIM AT
SEA BASS, CONTINUE TO PRISM IN
2016 FOR THE SAME THING.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WHEN
LEADERS OF NATO COUNTRIES LOOK
AT HOW PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
HANDLED WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON,
HOW HE’S BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER,
AND WHETHER POLITICIANS HERE IN
THE UNITED STATES LIKE THAT
IDEA THAT THEY’RE PRAISING HIM.
THAT IS WHY THEY’RE DOING.
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT HOW HE
HELPED BUILD THIS COALITION
TOGETHER.
HOW COUNTRIES DO THINGS THAT
THEY HAVEN’T DONE IT FOR BEFORE,
INCLUDING GIVING WEAPONS TO
UKRAINE, SOMETHING THAT GERMANY
HADN’T REALLY WANTED TO DO, FOR
EXAMPLE.
AND HOW THEY THINK TRUMP WOULD
HAVE HANDLED IT.
RIGHT?
TALKING ABOUT THOSE SECRET
PLANS, AND THOSE PLANS BEING
