1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, where I'm coming snaw Sean show morhind the scenes, 2 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: information on freaking news, and more bold inspired solutions for America. 3 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show 4 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, Day number two thirteen, Day thirteen. 5 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden abandons Americans behind enemy Lines day two twenty 6 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: six since he promised, oh, I'm never gonna do that, 7 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: stabbing our fellow Americans in the back. Um, I start 8 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: with a sad note today. Um, we often don't give 9 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: credit to people to do amazing work in life. You know. 10 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I think one thing that came out of the convoy 11 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: in Canada is Wow, everything we buy and every store 12 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: we go to gets there because a guy is behind 13 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: an eighteen wheeler for ten eleven, twelve hours whatever he's 14 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: allowed to drive a day. And every store that we 15 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: go to we have, you know, full shelves most of 16 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the time, except during the Joe Biden inflicted supply chain crisis. 17 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: And it's there because the truckers. I think over the pandemic, 18 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: we gathered a greater appreciation for healthcare workers, for doctors, 19 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: for nurses, for orderlies, for janitors that work in hospitals, 20 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: everybody that worked in a hospital every single day during 21 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: the pandemic, they went into a COVID petrie dish, even 22 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: especially in the beginning when we didn't know as much 23 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: about COVID as we do now. We didn't have monoclonal antibodies. 24 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: Please everyone in those audience remember those words if you 25 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: need it. There are two strains that we're watching very closely. 26 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Germany just said a record number of cases. This is 27 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: far from over. It's a lull for us now, but 28 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: it'll be back, either Amicron two or Delta cron, which 29 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: is a combination of Amicron and Delta. But we learned 30 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: a lot about the doctors and nurses, truck drivers, the 31 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: farmer's farm, the packers packed the trucker's truck, the nurses, 32 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: the doctors, all the factories that stayed open making producing 33 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: the medical equipment that we needed so desperately, and working 34 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: overtime in the car companies. You know, they jumped on 35 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: board to try and put together a ventilator, and even 36 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: their top engineers said, this is not easy. This is 37 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: a very sophisticated piece of technology here, meaning a ventilator. 38 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: But they all we got a greater appreciation from people. 39 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: Fox News lost one of its premier cameramen, and his 40 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: name is Pierre Zakchevsky, and he's been with the channel 41 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: a long time. He died after his vehicle was struck 42 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: by incoming fire out just outside of Kiev in Ukraine. 43 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: It happened on Monday. I was not at liberty to 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: really talk about it. I had heard that it had happened, 45 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: we didn't know the extent of it at the time. 46 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: And then, of course we have somebody that's been on 47 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: my show during this invasion of Putin of Ukraine, Benjamin Hall. 48 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: He has a young family. He's a great reporter, a 49 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: great guy, extremely talented, and I don't know the extent 50 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: of his injuries, so I'm not going to speculate. I've inquired, 51 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: but I don't you know, I think he probably would 52 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: want his own medical privacy. But we don't really appreciate, 53 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, a guy like Pierre is and you know 54 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: Steve Harrigan and Greg Palcott. They all go out in 55 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: these war zones to show the world what's really happening, 56 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: and they're risking their lives every day. And I can't 57 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: tell you how many times I'd say to somebody as 58 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: they finished their hit. Um, you know, be safe, stay 59 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, stay safe, be careful. But Pierre was a 60 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: war zone photographer. He covered nearly every international story for 61 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan, as Syria. He's with 62 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel a long time. He had a 63 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: passion and he's a talented journalist in every way. And 64 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: you know, as a statement put out by the president 65 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: of Fox News, Suzanne Scott, my boss, you know, constant 66 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: in all of our international coverage, I just want to stop. 67 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: And the former New York Times reporter that got killed. 68 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean we kind of take for granted. It's not 69 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: easy what they're doing. It takes a lot of bravery, 70 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: It takes a lot of courage. I remember, you know, 71 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: we've been in a couple of situations. We went to 72 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: a Raq at one point, and I'll never forget. I mean, 73 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: we're in a C one thirty. We did an in 74 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: flight refueling there and an in flight refueling back. And 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: the pilots are twenty two years old, huge cargo plane. 76 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: And when you get close to a rack and you're 77 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: about to land, they do what's called the corkscrew landing. 78 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: You know what a corkscrew is right right opening up 79 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: a bottle of wine, and you're in this plane. And 80 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: I literally they let me watch this in the cockpit, 81 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: just like I went in the cockpit and saw the 82 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: in air refueling and experience is incredible. The technology, the 83 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: innovation is amazing. These pilots at this young age blew 84 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: me away. And anyway, you basically go vertical, but around 85 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: in a circle like you're opening up a bottle of wine, 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: and then room. Then you go right down. Then the 87 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: idea is you don't want to do a slow descent 88 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: because that gives the enemy more time to shoot that 89 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: plane out of the sky. And these guys that did this, 90 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: that's what their job was every day, flying people to 91 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: and from the war zone. And then we got in 92 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: a helicopter convoy with then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and 93 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: you know, we went to we had a number of stops, 94 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't remember how many, but we went to the 95 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: red zone meaning where it's dangerous, where you know, we 96 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: had a fleet of helicopters, doors were open and manned 97 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: machine guns on both sides of the bird, and you 98 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: get just you just get a glimpse into the life 99 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: of a soldier and then I'm you know, after whatever 100 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: many days there, I'm leaving and I'm thinking, all these 101 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: guys their their minimum deployment is a year in that 102 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: hell hole, because that's what it is, a hell hole. 103 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: And the incredible bravery, valor and commitment that they have 104 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: and the sacrifice they're willing to make because their families 105 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: are still back home and maybe they get to FaceTime, 106 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: maybe they get to talk to on the phone occasionally, 107 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: to their kids and their wife or whatever, your husband, 108 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: and it's such a commitment. And it's moments like this 109 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: that you really stop and think of how great people 110 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: are in all that they do. What makes this country greater, 111 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: it's people. When we were in Israel and we go 112 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: to the it was in the middle of hostilities. Wasn't 113 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: an outright war, you know what? One not one day 114 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: we went to a border town Saroyt is how you 115 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: say it, Linda will correct me. And it's right on 116 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the border of Ghazi settled, all right, you say differently 117 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: than I do. And it's on it's on the border 118 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: of Gaza. You can see Gaza. And you know, the 119 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: night before we had gotten there, that kibbutz, meaning a 120 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: neighborhood and they call it a kibbutz. Was you know, 121 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: hit with trapnel and hit with these you know, with 122 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: with weapons that are designed to destroy lives. And I'm thinking, 123 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: and then you go to the playground. The playgrounds for 124 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: kids in this neighboring town of Gaza were under ground 125 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: because there wouldn't be enough time for a kid that 126 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: was playing outside in a playground to get to a 127 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: bomb shelter because of the close proximity of Gaza. We 128 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: went to the police station and they had in the 129 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: back of the police station thousands of rockets that had 130 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: been fired into Israel over the years, over ten thousand 131 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: rockets in this one town in ten years. Linda, you 132 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: remember this trip, and that's the trip where we went 133 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: into the tunnels that were dripped, that were dug underground 134 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: and you know, sixty feet underground. They use Israeli an 135 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: American cement and electricity, not to build hospitals and schools 136 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: as it was designed for, but they do it to 137 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: commit acts of terrorism against innocent Israelis. I mean ynt 138 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: to be fair, Sewan, it was you know, we were 139 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: at the University of Siroca hospital. They were incredible there, 140 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: their ICU Department is amazing, and they were taking care 141 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: of soldiers like we're seeing now on the front lines 142 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: of Ukraine, that where some of them were no older 143 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: than eighteen years old. And then we meet and so 144 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: and then one night we went to this place. The 145 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: food in Israel, I fought was horrific. I mean, unless 146 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: you're like Linda, I like these green this disgustingly green 147 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: puke projectile vomit disgusting smoothie or an orange projectile vomit 148 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: smoothie and you love hummus, which I can't stand. Um. 149 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: Even McDonald's was awful in Israel, which really disappointed. I 150 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: saw a McDonald and like, stop this car right now, 151 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm starving. But you think of these guys and they 152 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: put their lives on the line for us every day. 153 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: And I just hit home losing this photographer, not knowing 154 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: the condition of this journalist friend of ours, Benjamin Hall, 155 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: Pierre Zakchevski. You know, how does his family feel it today? 156 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: But he did it because he wanted us, that he 157 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: had a passion for what he did. And I'm just grateful, 158 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: and I just want everybody to know our thoughts and 159 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: prayers love sent their way, and that's for everybody. I 160 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: don't care what news organization you work for, because all 161 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: of them are brave and any soldier that goes into 162 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: any war zone. I remember leaving thinking, what if I 163 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: had to stay in Iraq a year? How would I feel? 164 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: Not knowing if you're ever going to see your family again? 165 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: And then you're out on patrol and maybe it's not you, 166 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: but maybe you're fellow fellow platoon members, maybe maybe they 167 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: just got shot, maybe their legs just got blown off 168 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: with an ieed, and it just can't be any war 169 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: as hell. That's why when you know some people have 170 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: been saying, well, Hannity, what do you think, what does 171 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: America's role in the world. We can't be the world's policeman. 172 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Totally agree with you, we can't. The world has a 173 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: lot of darkness and a lot of evil. Evil does exist. 174 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: I wrote a whole book on evil the last century. 175 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: One hundred million human souls destroyed in the name of 176 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: some ism, Communism, Mao China, Stalin Russia, Naziism, Hitler, fascism, 177 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: Mussolini Tojo Japan. It's hard for good people to wrap 178 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: their minds around evil. So what's the role no, we're 179 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: not going to put boots on the ground. One of 180 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: the reasons we can't do it unless our own national 181 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: security interests or at risk. And even then I would 182 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: lean towards the medical the I'm sorry, the military sophistication 183 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: and technology advances we've made as a country where you 184 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: can fight wars and with pinpoint accuracy, hit any target 185 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: any place in the world, at any time and push 186 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: that button in an unmanned drone from Tampa Bay, Florida's 187 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: I'd prefer that kind of war. And that's why we 188 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: always have got to be the leader in terms of 189 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: military technology. But we learned in the past what happens 190 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: when these politicians and oh they're all gung ho and 191 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: they start these wars, and time goes on and casualties 192 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: come in, and it gets politicized, and then it's you know, 193 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: it's used to score cheap political points. And then finally 194 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: it gets to the point we say, never mind. Now, 195 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: what if you're the parent or a family member of 196 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: a loved one that put themselves in harm's way and 197 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: they die because we didn't fight the war to win 198 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: the war. If you're gonna fight to win, if you're 199 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: gonna fight a war, fight it to win and then 200 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: go win. And you don't, it can be no mercy 201 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: if you want to win the war. In that sense, yes, 202 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: of course, you try to avoid collateral damage. Putin's not 203 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: doing that. Putin is out there hitting maternity hospitals. We've 204 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: seen the images of mass graves. We've seen entire neighborhoods leveled. 205 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: We've seen it all. So I think providing the Ukrainians, 206 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: who have now shown a willingness to fight, Jablin which 207 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: are very effective, Stingers, which are extremely effective. Ronald Reagan 208 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: provided Stinger missiles to the Muja Aden and they beat 209 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union and they ran them out of Afghanistan 210 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. It worked. If the Ukrainians are 211 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: willing to fight, give them the Jablins, give them the Stingers, 212 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: give them the fighter jets. Why why anybody asked permission? 213 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: Asked Joe's permission? Joe Biden's permission is beyond me. Sadly, 214 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: we have a president so weak, frail, afraid and compromised. 215 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: This is what leading from behind is America last is 216 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: and live free or die America in the world on 217 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: the brink, This is the on the brink part I 218 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: tried to warn everybody about and it's only going to 219 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: get worse with the RAND, and it's only going to 220 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: get worse with China. These are not good times anyway. 221 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: Our prayers are with everybody in any war zone, including 222 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: the people of Ukraine. What do you think when you 223 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: see mass gray? What do you think when you see 224 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: a young girl in the laying and a mother laying 225 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: in the street, dead with their luggage trying to flee 226 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: a war zone. I think we can provide the military 227 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: aid if they're willing to fight their own fight. Got 228 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: a lot of ground of cover today. Ram Paul will 229 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: join us in a little bit. Um. There's a lot 230 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: of people out there that are are very optimistic. Um, 231 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: I have pause for cautious optimism, but I tend to 232 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: really be realistic and I'm irish, so I always think 233 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: the worst is gonna happen. And what I'm seeing is 234 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: and Greg Poalcott pointed this out last night, and I 235 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: really took note of it, and then I did a 236 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: deeper dive into this, and I'll go into more detail 237 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: throughout this hour, but there the Russians were eighteen miles 238 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: out of Kiev last week. Remember we interviewed the guy 239 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: in the bunker and he said, oh, I don't really 240 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: see the perimeter being surrounded. It's being surrounded. And now 241 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: they're nine miles out and the bombardment has gotten worse, 242 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: and Ukraine is now becoming Czechnia on a larger scale, 243 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: as the UN is even warning of a potential nuclear war, 244 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: which there's always going to be a possibility with any 245 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: nuclear power. You know, the idea that we will cower 246 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: because Vladimir Putin makes a threat, Well, if that's the case, 247 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: we might as well just hand them the United States. 248 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: At some point, you're going to have to fight. In 249 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: this case, the Ukrainians have to fight, and the free 250 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: world should support a sovereign nation and stand up against 251 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: a brutal thug dictator murdering men, women and children. We 252 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: now know that they've gone scorched earth. Putin is somewhat 253 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: embarrassed on the world stage that it hasn't gone as 254 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: well as it may be people thought it would. He's 255 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: killing civilians, bombing hospitals, He's knocked out a number of 256 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: schools and leveled entire neighborhoods. These are all facts on 257 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: the ground from our reporters that are telling me what's 258 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: going on there. I'll give you more of the details 259 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: on the other side. And we're not going to buy 260 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the big lie of Biden, Saki and Kamala, which is, oh, 261 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: everything that's wrong is all Vladimir Putin's fault. It's a lie. 262 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Breaking news all afternoon. When you get off work, be 263 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: sure to check in first for everything you missed during 264 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: the day. This is the Sean Hannity Show, all right, 265 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour, eight nine one, 266 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: Shawn our number if you want to be a part 267 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: of the program. So I fear that the Russians are, 268 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: albeit ever so slowly, getting closer to the capitol Kiev. 269 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: What we're seeing and reading and reporting and sources the 270 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: people on the ground that I talked to is not good. 271 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: Because my observation is and this is speculation only on 272 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: my part. Is all the surprise shock that how bad 273 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: Putin's generals and army have performed in this You're looking 274 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: at a megalomaniac egomaniac that has very broad wide territorial ambitions. Anyway, 275 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: So Ukraine is becoming Czechnia on a larger scale. Un 276 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: is saying that they're warning of a potential nuclear war 277 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: and Russian forces. Now it's been chronicled everywhere. They're killing civilians, 278 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: looting stores and homes all across occupied parts of southern Ukraine, 279 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: vording a residence there. Kiev is more in the north. 280 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: In the middle below Belarus, people arriving from Russia held 281 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: areas over the weekend described hungry, are hungry, and they 282 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: see undisciplined Russian troops shooting unarmed villagers. We've seen these 283 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: pictures of innocent people several residential buildings in Kiev itself. 284 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: The bombing in Kiev has been ratcheted up greatly as 285 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: Russian troops have gotten closer. The mayor of Kiev has 286 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: announced the thirty five hour curfew in other areas. In Kiev. 287 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: In particular, nineteen citizens killed nine injured in the latest 288 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: Russia attack on a TV tower that's going on there. 289 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: Ukraine official is claiming certainly some other areas casualties are 290 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: approaching twenty thousand people. An advisor to one of the 291 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: regions in outside of the border region are making those reports. 292 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: Russian state run TV program is advocating for the public 293 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: hanging and occupied Ukrainian cities. What do you think is 294 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: going to happen to this woman who worked in a 295 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: newsroom that protested and put up the sign that says 296 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: no war. Don't believe the propaganda. Apparently she was in 297 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: court today, had disappeared. People wondered if she'd ever be 298 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: seen again. Zelinsky is predicting victory in Ukraine. He's begging 299 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: the West to provide the weaponry so the Ukrainians can 300 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: fight their own war. Maybe you think that's the right 301 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: thing to do. Maybe you don't think that that's the 302 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: right thing to do. You know, at some point, you know, 303 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: we can't be the world's policeman. You can't. But you've 304 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: also got to look at the broader, wider implications of 305 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: all of this. And the amazing thing in a political 306 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: context is Donald Trump's admonitions and warnings that NATO, you know, 307 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: on one hand, where we are providing the bulk of 308 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: moneys while countries like Germany and other Western European NATO 309 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: allied countries they're paying much smaller amounts in terms of 310 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: the actual money, but they're paying smaller percentages of their 311 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: smaller GDP. And then he said, why would you then 312 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: turn around and allow these countries because we're protecting you, 313 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: paying for you. We're not that worried about Russia, but 314 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: we're part of an alliance. We pay the bulk of money. 315 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: And then you and your countries turn around and you 316 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: import all these all this energy from Russia and make 317 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: yourself dependent on Russian oil and gas, and you're making 318 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Putin rich again and Russia rich again. And it's just stupid. 319 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same thing. Why would we make 320 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: this idiotic deal with a RAN that is being broken 321 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: by Russia and China. This is madness anyway by the 322 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: person of the UN that said it's in the realm 323 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: of possibility in nuclear wars. The UN Secretary General. Look, 324 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm not big. I don't have great confidence in the 325 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: UN's ability to do anything right or the who's ability 326 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: to do anything right. They ran basically as a propaganda 327 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: arm for China throughout all of COVID. Not exactly particularly happy. 328 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: If if the UN left the New York City, nobody'd 329 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: be happier than me. European leaders plan to visit Ukraine's 330 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: capital as as this now continues, and Biden apparently is 331 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: going over there himself. You know, I noticed Boris Johnson 332 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: is holding meetings with oil and gas leaders as the 333 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: White House employees. Remember, Joe Biden brought in this week, 334 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: within the last week, TikTok influencers. You say, well, what's 335 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: an influencer? An influencers somebody you know. Companies will pay 336 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: these TikTok posters massive amounts of money if they have 337 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: enough followers, because then they'll promote their products and they're 338 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: known as influencers. Now, this is what the Biden administration. 339 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: They want the TikTokers to go in there and spewed 340 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Joe's propaganda. And the propaganda and the big lie is 341 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, being repeated and regurgitated over and over again, 342 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: and that is oh, inflation. Vladimir Putin caused this inflation. 343 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: We didn't cause this inflation. Okay, Well, we have had 344 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: record high inflation for the last but four or five 345 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: months now, went setting one record after another, long before 346 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: Putin invaded Ukraine. Say with oil prices. You know this 347 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: is the My name is President Joe. I blame Vladimir 348 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: for everything I do wrong. Biden, this is one big lie. Now, 349 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: the media always got upset. Oh, Donald Trump just old 350 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: a lie, liar, liar, liar pants on fire? When are 351 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: they going to hold? Everybody in the media mob is 352 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: echoing this big lie. Democrats, Jensaki, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, 353 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, all the usual characters. Are we gonna blame 354 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: Putin for the crisis that Joe created at our southern border? 355 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: Are we gonna blame Vladimir Putin for the fact that 356 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: Joe Biden ran out of COVID tests over Christmas when 357 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: predictably cases are going to rise as people get in 358 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: closer contact with each other. Are we going to blame 359 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin for Joe Biden's debacle and his exit from Afghanistan, 360 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: which was an unmitigated failure and disaster. Are we gonna 361 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: blame Vladimir Putin for the initial claim that inflation is 362 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: only transitory? Now most economists are predicting or session or 363 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: even worse. You know, we're gonna blame Vladimir Putin for 364 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: the food chain crisis that we've suffered in this country. 365 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: High gas prices. We already had it long before Putin 366 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine. Now it's exacerbated it, no doubt about it. 367 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: But we were averaging what nearly a buck fifty a 368 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: gallon for gasoline, and you saw the prices at every store. 369 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: You to go up dramatically, and you're paying more to 370 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: heat your homes this winner. You'll pay a lot more 371 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: to cool your homes this summer gas prices. It's not 372 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: our fault. I will stand up. I'm the only one 373 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: that we can go tote toe of Putin. Yeah, well 374 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: you're really going tote toe. I have so much I 375 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: have so much confidence in Joe Biden. Anyway, now, Boris Johnson, 376 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: it's a little late, because if they would have listened, 377 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: If Germany, NATO, western European countries would have listened to 378 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: the admonition of Donald J. Trump, which is, don't make 379 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: this guy rich. You're putting him in a position to 380 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: destroy you, we wouldn't be here today. And if Joe 381 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: Biden didn't push our Western European allies into the arms 382 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: of Putin and given to the climate alarmist religion cult 383 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: that he's a member of that represents the Democratic New 384 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: Green Deals Socialist Party, we wouldn't have this problem today. 385 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: We would be able to supply our Western European allies 386 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: with the energy that they need. If we didn't cancel. 387 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: If Joe didn't cancel on day one the Keystone XIL pipeline, 388 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: the premiere of Alberta says it would be finished today 389 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: and we would be able to have imported from Canada 390 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: Canadian oil some nine hundred thousand barrels a day. And 391 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: they're even offering now through the means we have currently 392 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: available another four hundred thousand barrels a day if we 393 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: want it. So he doesn't need to kiss the ass 394 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: or the mullets in Iran, the dictator murdering thug in Venezuela, 395 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: or the or the OPEC nations that don't like us. 396 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: By the way, and this is another thing, all these 397 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: reports over Oh wait, we have nine thousand areas we 398 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: can drill. He's put more restrictions on energy production in 399 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: this country than any previous president except for Biden and Obama. 400 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: You know, now futures has gone down, oil did slide 401 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: a little below one hundred dollars. That was earlier today. 402 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: I haven't looked at it. But blaming Putin for you know, 403 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: and COVID for record high inflation as a lie. Blaming 404 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: them for higher gas prices of a lie, and you know, 405 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: drafting TikTok stars to blame Putin for rising gas prices. 406 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: You know you've got these kids. That's like the hiring 407 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: no offense. I've actually interviewed Kim Kardashian. She couldn't have 408 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: been nicer. It's like hiring the Kardashians to spin your 409 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: propaganda for you. You know what is put What will 410 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: Putin do of Russia? Has no chance of victory. This 411 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: is an article on someplace I saw. It's not going 412 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: to be good. I'm sensing now that Putin is feeling 413 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: a level of embarrassment. He's an egomaniac, megalomaniac, narcissist. You 414 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: know this, This, this is what we have now feared. 415 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: Now you add to this something that nobody in the 416 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: media is talking about. Interestingly, I don't know why they 417 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: would ignore it. US lawmakers, some of them have taken 418 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: can note and are demanding that Biden break out of 419 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: the nuclear talks after Iran launched a nuclear up, sorry, 420 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: launched a missile attack on the US consulate in Iraq. 421 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: You have a large ballistic missile fired by Iran slamming 422 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: right into this facility, our consulate in Iraq. What is 423 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: Joe going to do. I brought this question up yesterday, 424 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's simultaneously. Don't think this is not my design. 425 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: The world will take advantage these hostile nations, hostile actors 426 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: will take advantage of this quagmire that Joe seems to 427 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: have gotten in China's warning of the worst consequences for 428 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: any country that supports Taiwan's military, and on the other hand, 429 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: they're saying there's going to be you know, the US 430 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: is warning China not to assist Russia. Does anyone in 431 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: the right mind believe that that that president she cares 432 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: what Joe Biden says or thinks, because they don't and 433 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: they won't. You know, there's been a lot of miscalculations here. 434 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, I worry about a cornered rat in this case, 435 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: and the rat being Vladimir Putin, you know, and this 436 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: inability to take blame for failure is really annoying me. Now, 437 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: NATO is amassing what thirty thousand troops fifty warships for 438 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: huge war games on Russia's border. Okay, that's really gonna 439 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: do war games in international waters. Moscow's claiming Biden has 440 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: caved on Ukraine's sanctions against Russia because they so desperately 441 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: want this Iranian deal, which is going to be worse 442 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: than the first Iranian deal, that will put tens of 443 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in the pockets of mullows that chant 444 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: death to America, death to Israel. British defense sources are 445 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: saying the Ukrainian resistance does has performed extraordinarily, well beyond 446 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: anybody's expectations. But this is an uphill battle. They're outmanned, 447 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: they're outgunned. They have more sophisticated technology and Joe Biden 448 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: veto the JETSA, meaning the MiGs that were offered by Poland. 449 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Now on the economic side of things, by the way, 450 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: Biden's Labor secretary, Marty Walsh is even warning that a 451 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: recession is now a real likelihood. Gee, welcome to the party, 452 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. Now some people say it want it's the 453 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: u on is how you say it, you aa, and 454 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: is the proper pronunciation of the Chinese currency instead of 455 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: dollars for Chinese oil sales. That's not good for the country, 456 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: and that's not good for the world because we were 457 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: always you know, the US dollar, the full faith and 458 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: creditor of the US government, which was always ps anyway, 459 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: once we got off the gold standard of my humble opinion. 460 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve expected to raise interest rates this week, 461 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: likely tomorrow. Washington Post column, Buckle up, Inflation, risk of 462 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: recession are about to get much much worse. Let me 463 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: tell you why the mainstream media is finally covering this. 464 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: Why because they're looking to use this Ukrainian invasion by 465 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: Russia as a scapegoat for all of Biden's economic and 466 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: energy policy failures. You know, producer prices now rise by 467 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: double digits. In other words, wholesale inflation in the US 468 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: shot up ten percent last month from a year earlier, 469 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: which means the inflationary pressures remain intense, which means the 470 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: likelihood of America hitting a recession is all the greater. 471 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: And then Biden is just unleashing rage on Americans. I'm 472 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: sick of them blaming inflation on me. Well, who do 473 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: we blame it on? Because inflation a forty year high 474 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: happened long before Putin invaded Ukraine, Joe, US economy all 475 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: signs to a recession. And who's getting disproportionately impacted the most, 476 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: the poor, the middle class in America. It's it's that 477 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: bad then we got I'm not even talking about the 478 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: price of gas. Democrats now saying criticizing Biden for the 479 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: high price of gas is Unamerican. Congresswoman Kim Schreier to 480 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: not blame Putin is denying reality, and I think it's Unamerican. Okay, 481 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: does she not know the fuel prices were going up 482 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: because of his policies before Russia invaded Ukraine? You know, 483 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: by the way, there's an article on Foxnews dot com. 484 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: I might put it on Hannity dot com because it's long, 485 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: and the headline is Russia duped Europe into energy dependence 486 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: by funding rabid environmental groups. Russians actually fund the most 487 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: rabid environmental groups in Europe. Does that surprise you? New 488 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: York Times, February twentieth Biden administration halts all new drilling. Oh, 489 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: what about the nine thousand approved drilling leases. Unbelievable. Biden 490 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: doubles down on ending fossil fuel consumption.
