look at this, paul. the nato countries have been hemming and hawing about how much support they're going to give the ukrainians and if they're going to provoke the russians if given that report. but here's ukrainian crushing the russian army in ukraine. what better deterrence is there than to protect the nato countries. particularly those in eastern europe by having the russian army crushed. it would take years for them to recover from such a thing before they could ever entertain the thought of invading an nato country. and i think that would be quite remote given what has already happen, paul. paul: are going to see how that unfolds general thanks for coming in. appreciate it. when we come back distancing themselves in the biden administration on immigration as the white house announces it is ending the trump era border policy known as title 42. bum-bu♪ at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science. kitchen? sorted. hot tub, why not? and of course, puppy-friendly. we don't like to say perfect,

kriti: i pose the question to paul sweeney. talk to us about how netflix compares to some of the competitors disney, roku, paramount, all taking a big hit. what advantages to those streaming platforms have over netflix right now? paul: there is a lot of competition today, literally more than a dozen streaming platforms out there, they all have significant programming budgets. thinking about two years ago, it was really just netflix. a b hulu was in their little bit but it is so much more competitive now and we see that the programming budget. all of these companies are spending billions and billions of dollars. netflix is north of $15 billion and $20 billion. the question i hear from longtime bulls today is will this business ever be profitable giving those programming investments? a lot of folks i hear say there needs to be a shake out of this business, just too many players. then the question is, who will be standing? a lot of folks accountable saying netflix will be there, disney will be there, but who else? kriti: i think c

was staying with mary paul for a moment. well, we heard in our report there around 2500 ukrainian soldiers and also some civilians we understand or are currently holding out in that still works in mario. what, or can you tell us about the situation there for that steel or that steel mill? as you say, a is a vast network of factories of warehouses as being called a fortress city. there's also an underground network of tunnels. and that is where they have managed to to stay as stay away from the worst of the rush and fire and the reason that the ukrainians have been able to push back in this massive david and goliath fight we're seeing in mary you, paul. it's also one of the reasons why last week this time last week are folks person for the russian military said that they could and would use chemical weapons to try and get them out of there. there was been reports that same day that a chemical attack was used on the steel plant that still remains unconcerned whether or not that did actually take place. but definitely a sign th

yeah, well of course the stains coming out of mary paul and the stories are just horrific . the humanitarian catastrophe that's unfolding there, michael. it's still hotly contested. president putin came out and claiming victory of mary paul the other day. but i bet zalinski and ukraine sang that still too early to coal complete victory of mario po for the russians. the americans echoing those words. we've heard today that there's renewed bombardments at that as of steel plot, which is the last remaining stronghold of those ukranian soldiers. as round about 2000, we believe still fighting, still living underneath the tunnels is vast tunnel network at that steel plant, as well as around up to $1000.00 civilians, also hiding out there. so they're fight. it remains to be same. what they fight will be about renewed fighting at that plant today. and in terms of the humanitarian corridors. one was set up today, the deputy prime minister of ukraine saying that they were trying, going to try to get a few 1000 people out of that city. she warned to be careful for civilians to keep in

going back to the rand paul video, talking to blinken. my question, the last statement, and really perhaps what happened to mr. blinken yesterday, a lot of times diplomats get too wordy and too long, and go on and on and on. rand paul's question was basically, did russia attack ukraine because nato is trying to claw up next to russia? you would hear from a number of people. at the time you are the head of nato, was the process for nato to go to countries and say, "hey, do you want to join us?" was the process for the countries to approach nato and say, "hey, we would like to go with you guys because you could help defend us?" if the countries coming to nato, what is the problem with that echo -- that? nato is not seeking member to try to overwhelm russia, is it? host: thanks, mark. guest: that is a good question. it is the latter. countries in eastern and central europe requested membership of nato. they asked us, "couldn't we join nato?" back in 2008, already we had a heated discussion at a summit in nato on wishes from ukraine and georg
