for a whole lot less.
ELIZABETH: WET COME BACK TO THE
SHOW, GOP STRATEGIST FORD
O’CONNELL.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON.
THE MEDIA DOING A GREAT JOB OF
HEARTWRENCHING IMAGES.
SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL, RIGHT?
HARMED.
CHILDREN GETTING KILLED IN THE
UKRAINE.
WHAT RUSSIA IS DOING GROTESQUE.
THAT IS WHAT MILITARY
STRATEGISTS THE WORLD OVER SAY.
PUTIN IS A PARIAH.
THE MEDIA STATESIDE IS GETTING
CRITICIZED FOR ITS CHAOTIC
COVERAGE OF UKRAINE, POLITICIZED
COVERAGE.
USING IT TO GO AFTER ENEMIES
HERE IN THE U.S. YOUR REACTION?
>> MEDIA COVERAGE STATESIDE HAS
BEEN ABYSMAL.
FRANKLY WHEN IT COMES TO SOME
DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS AND SOME
COMMENTATORS LIKE THERE IS A
COMPETITION FOR THE WORST HOT
TAKE OUT THERE AND WE’RE ONLY
SIX TO SEVEN DAYS IN THIS
CONFLICT, LIZ.
I CAN ONLY EXPECT THIS TO GET
WORSE BECAUSE WHAT WE’RE SEEING
IS, WE’RE SEEING DEMOCRATIC
POLITICIANS BASICALLY PUTTING
POLITICS FIRST AND GNAT
UNDERSTANDING THE GRAVITY OF THE
MOMENT.
ELIZABETH: WATCH JOY BEHAR OF
"THE VIEW" BEMOANING THE FACT
RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR IS HURTING
HER VACATION PLANS.
>> ESTIMATED 50,000 UKRAINIANS
WILL BE DEAD OR WOUNDED.
THIS IS GOING TO START A
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS A REFUGEE
CRISIS IN EUROPE.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FIVE MILLION
PEOPLE.
>> YEAH.
>> THAT WILL BE DISPLACED.
>> YEAH.
>> IT’S HEART BREAKING TO HEAR
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> YEAH.
>> I’M SCARED OF WHAT IS GOING
TO HAPPEN IN WESTERN EUROPE TOO.
YOU KNOW.
YOU PLAN A TRIP.
YOU WANT TO GO THERE.
WANT TO GO TO ITALY FOR FOUR
YEARS.
I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT
BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC.
AND NOW THIS.
YOU KNOW.
WHO WILL, WHAT WILL HAPPEN
THERE?
ELIZABETH: YOUR REACTION?
>> I WISH I WAS SHOCKED BUT
SADLY THIS IS FROM JOY.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF TONE DEAF
ELITIST HOT TAKE WE EXPECT.
SHE IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HER
EUROPEAN VACATION PLANS THAN SHE
IS ABOUT 700,000 REFUGEES RIGHT
NOW.
I PROMISE YOU, SHE WILL SAY
SOMETHING JUST AS RIDICULOUS IN
THE WEEKS TO COME.
ELIZABETH: FORD, LET’S LISTEN TO
HOUSE SPEAKER PELOSI TRYING TO
SCORE POLITICAL PINTS OF THE
RUSSIAN INVASION, EQUATING IT TO
ASSAULTS ON DEMOCRACY HERE.
WATCH THIS.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THE INVASION, THE ASSAULT ON
UKRAINE WAS AN ASSAULT ON
DEMOCRACY.
BARBARA TOOK THE TIME TO TALK
ABOUT ASSAULTS ON OUR DEMOCRACY
IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.
>> YOUR REACTION?
>> NANCY PELOSI IS GOING TO DO
WHAT NANCY PELOSI DOES AND THAT
IS PUT POLITICS FIRST AND ANY
OPPORTUNITY SHE CAN TO PUSH THE
DEMOCRATS VOTER SUPPRESSION LIE
SHE WILL DO TAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
SHE THINKS UKRAINE CAN HELP HER
PUSH THAT TO THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC.
SADLY AGAIN, MADAM SPEAKER
PELOSI MISSED THE GRAVITY OF THE
MOMENT.
THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE
POINTS DEMOCRATS WANT TO SCORE
WITH REPUBLICANS.
>> "NEW YORK TIMES" RUNNING AN
OP-ED SAYING THE LEADER OF
UKRAINE IS SERIOUSLY IN OVER HIS
HEAD.
THAT IS NOT AGING WELL.
WE ALSO HAVE ACTIVISTS, CREATOR
OF THE CONTROVERSIAL 1619
PROJECT NICOLE HANNA JONES
TWEETING OUT THE MEDIA COVERAGE
OF THE RUSSIA INVASION OF
UKRAINE I WILL US ARE STRAITS
RACISM IN THE PRESS.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> LET’S LOOK AT
"NEW YORK TIMES" FIRST.
THE REASON WHY NATO AND EU ARE
WAKING UP BECAUSE OF ZELENSKYY’S
LEADERSHIP AND TENACITY AND
CHARISMA.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE 1619
PROJECT AND HANNAH JONES,
CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND
POLITICS BROKEN PEOPLE’S BRAIN.
WE’RE LOOKING AT UKRAINE BECAUSE
RUSSIA IS NUCLEAR POWER, A
MURDEROUS THUG, THAT IS WHY
WE’RE FOCUSED ON IT.
NOT BECAUSE OF SOME RIDICULOUS
NONSENSE FOLKS WANT TO PUSH FROM
THE ACADEMY.
ELIZABETH: PUTIN HAS DONE,
POISONING ENEMIES OVERSEAS AND
PLACES LIKE UK.
WHAT HE IS DON’T IN CHECHNYA
REPEATED TODAY.
ON KYIV, CAR KHARKIV AND REALLY
SLAMMING POPULATIONS THERE,
FORD.
WE HAVE THE KREMLIN BACKED
RUSSIA TODAY NETWORK BANISHED
DROP IN AMERICA AND CANADA.
THE AFFILIATE IS HERE IN THE
U.S. SHOULD WE GET RID OF RT?
>> I’M ALL FOR DIFFERING
VIEWPOINTS.
I WILL SAY THEY’RE
STATE-SPONSORED MEDIA.
THEIR WHOLE GOAL IS DESTABLIZE
WESTERN GOVERNMENTS I WOULD LIKE
TO KEEP IT OPEN AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE.
AT SOME POINT IT WILL HAVE TO BE
