Peters: Putin Will Continue the ‘Big Lie’ Because His Popularity Is 90 Percent in Russia

HEMMER: "You have evidence that the Russian military is firing into Ukraine, taking on the Ukrainian government. Now, how's Putin going to respond to something like that? What would he do, if anything?"

PETERS: "Well, he's already responded and he said it's all fabrication, it's all lies. And that works. It works. Look, at the latest pool, Putin's popularity in Russia is at 90 percent. Imagine that.  It's stunning.  Bill, people even in our country, should I say,  people believe what they want to believe. And around the world, and especially in Russia, there are people who want to believe that America is a liar, America is bad."
