sen mcconnell: pharynx everyone. this has been an important day for america and a very important day for freedom-loving countries around the world. clearly on the ukraine portion of this, we had difficulty on the republican side. i think no democrats in the house voted against ukraine. i believe that's largely the case in the senate. but our problems didn't just arrive today. this current administration's decision to leave afghanistan was a huge mistake, like sending a green light to all of our adversaries. second, the administration has not asked for a defense budget big enough to keep up with inflation so we've all learned a lesson as a result of russian behavior. we have two new members of nato, got a significant number of european countries spending more as a percentage of g.d.p. than we are. with regard to the claim that this was a huge amount of money, i know it seems like it but to put the $60 billion in context, it's about .2% of our g.d.p. .2% of our g.d.p. our overall defense budget is 3%. of our g.d.p. so

. >> meantime, mitch mcconnell was asked about president trump and this issue of immunity. he's someone who previously signaled the court of law could hold a president accountable. what's he saying now? >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is saying that presidents should be held accountable, and he was leaning on the idea that he didn't think that trump and other presidents should have the sort of blanket immunity that he's pushing for. take a listen to what he told our colleague kristen welker. >> what do you think, leader mcconnell? do you think that presidents should be immune from criminal prosecution for actions while they're in office? >> obviously i don't think that, but it's not up to me to make that decision. the president clearly needs some kind of immunity or we'd be in court all the time. >> what's interesting, of course, is that mitch mcconnell was the senator who essentially ushered in donald trump being found not guilty and being acquitted in that senate trial when he was impeached for his actions on january 6th and trying to overturn the 2020 election.
