WEBVTT - Ukraine No Fly Zone is a Terrible Idea

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck. Welcome to the Freedom Hut Monday, March seventh

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>edition of the program. Should ain't no fly zone be instituted?

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That is the big question. I say a resounding no,

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>But there are people who believe that is the answer

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 1>going forward to deal with Russian aggression in Ukraine. I'll

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>break down for you why. I think that's deeply problematic. Plus,

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>we are not done with COVID until they admit they

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>were wrong and apologize. Until that moment, until we no

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>longer wear masks on planes, masks anywhere, until they are

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>feeling ridiculed for their support of stupid mask and mandate

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>for vaccine policies, all of it, we are not done.

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I want everyone to be clear on that. I'll explain

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.200

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the Ukraine situation? Well, here's one

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>version of its. Senator Marco Rubio on the no fly zone.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>What a no fly zone become a catchphrase. I'm not

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>sure a lot of people fully understand what that means.

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>That means flying a wax twenty four hours a day.

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>That means the willingness to shoot down and engage Russian

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>airplanes in the sky. That means, frankly, you can't put

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>those planes up there unless you're willing to knock out

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the anti aircraft systems that the Russians have deployed, and

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>not just in Ukraine, but in Russia and also in Belarus.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>So basically a no fly zone. If people understood what

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>it means, it means world War three. It means starting

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>World War three. So here's how the argument is going.

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I'm seeing people I knew this would happen.

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the nature of warfare. The Russians are tightening

0:02:54.080 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the vice around the Ukrainian people. Civilian casualties are mountings,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>cities are being turned to rubble. This is awful. Warfare

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>is a horror show. And as people see this more,

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>there's an emotional impulse that we must do more, we

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>must do something. And I've been warning from the beginning

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>this will happen. This was inevitable, and we have to

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 1>take a step back and think through exactly what's going

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>on and what the response should be. Marko Rubio just

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that it could lead to World War three. Now that's

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a scary thought. Isn't it. I'm seeing people, and even

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to believe that that's overstated, I'm seeing

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>people say, let's just put let's just declare no fly zone.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>What are the Russians really going to do? We want

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>to do this brinksmanship thing with Putin. That's what I'm

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>seeing increasingly said, including by conservatives. And let me say this,

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine is a whole lot more important to Putin and

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the Russian Federation military than it is to the United States.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>You will go much further over Ukraine then we will.

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And so you have to think about this in that context.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>If we say Russian planes fly, they die, we shoot

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>them out of the sky. You know what's gonna happen.

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna fly those Russian planes and fly strikes. They're

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, okay, let's see you do it, shoot down

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>some of our planes. And then at that point we're

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna what shoot down Russian planes? Okay, you say, fine,

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>what are they gonna do? Well, we shoot down a

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>few Russian MiGs, a few Russian Sequoi fighters, whatever the

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 1>case may be. We shoot them down. You know what

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>happens next, Well, the Russians decide to do two things

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 1>one dramatically expand the military forces they have deployed in

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and around Ukraine. And two they're gonna shoot down American planes.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>There's no way that that Vladimir Putin is gonna get

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>planes shot down and say well, we're not going to

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>shoot back an American planes. So okay. So now now

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we're in a high war with Russia, at least in

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the skies over Ukraine, and I understand we think, well,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>we're we're so much bigger, better, and we're gonna just

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>kick their butts. This is the sentiment. I'm just telling

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you the sentiment that I'm seeing expressed online for people

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that's okay who has a longer distance to go US

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>or the ukrates say, old buck, we'll use NATO bases.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll have NATO allies. Is okay. Well, now you're going

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to bring what you're going to bring Poland and other

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>states into this directly. You're gonna be flying air strikes

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 1>from their soil. You think that Putin is against firing

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>missiles at those air bases, He certainly has the capability

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Why wouldn't he do it? The planes

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that are flying from those now you see, okay, so

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>we So we sit there, we're saying, we're just flying

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a no fly zone. Putin all of a sudden attacks

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the air basis, because otherwise, I mean, we're not what

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna do. We're gonna be flying a no

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>fly zone with bombers out of Colorado or something. No,

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>this is not Afghanistan. We're gonna have to be. A

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>no fly zone is essentially a misnomer. You gotta fly

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot in a no fly zone. You're gonna have

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>your own planes flying the skies. This is what we

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>did over a rock. This is you're gonna have to

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 1>patrol those skies. All those Russians will keep flying strikes.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna be able to track and track and

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>shut them down fast enough. So we're talking about dog

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>fights with fourth generation fighters Russian fighters in the skies

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>over Ukraine. We're talking about going up against the Russians

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>three hundred, S four hundred and I think, and S

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>five hundred. Various iterations of the Russian surface to air

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>missile defense system, the SAMs that they have, which can

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>shoot in the S five in the case, the S

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>five hundred, I believe, can shoot hundreds of miles between

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>two and three hundred miles. They can target planes drones,

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>so they're gonna deploy those. This is not gonna be easy, folks.

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>We think of no fly zone as our pilots are,

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing playing video games on their phone while

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 1>they're flying over a rock. That's not how it's going

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>to be. It's gonna be an active aerial combat zone.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is the best case. This is assuming Putin

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't dramatically escalate beyond that. Notice, I'm not even going

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to nuclear war. I might even going I'm saying this,

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>So now we get dragged deeper into this. And remember

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Putin at that point, if he loses too badly in Ukraine,

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>he probably loses his premiership, he loses his dictatorship. So

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>what is he not willing to do in order to

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>maintain his grip. You have to remember that as well.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, on the one hand, a week ago people

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>are saying Putin is crazy. Now they're saying, oh, Putin

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>would never do anything rash in response to us, Well,

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>which is it now? I've never thought that Putin was crazy.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a cold, calculating menace. But they were

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>saying the same people that were telling us all, oh,

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're driven by emotion and hysteria. That's the point.

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do. We're gonna

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>do something. But hold on a second. What is really mean?

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So on the one head, just looking at the military

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>realities of US, a no fly zone is not a

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>simple thing, a simple thing to do, and you're engaging

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in military brinksmanship with a country that has over a

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand nukes. Now you could say they'd never use them. Okay,

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.679
<v Speaker 1>we use them twice. I mean, it's not impossible, folks,

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I know, we start to get into thinking of oh never, Yeah,

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe the thinking for Putin is low, low yield tactical

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>nuke on you know, a NATO on a NATO base

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and then okay, the conflict you guys stop, you back off,

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>or else we fire the ICBMs. I don't know. I'm

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>not saying that would happen. I'm also to tell you

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>nobody knows the people that have been speaking to you

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>with certainty on this, whether it's the Ukrainians or kicking

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the Russians asses or oh my god, ukrate is gonna

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>fall in days, and they go back and forth. They

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>simply don't know everything that we are seeing and being

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>told out of that country is coming through one filter

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>or another, and people have enormous incentives to create a

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>certain perception of this one way or the other. So

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm urging for caution. We have learned a lesson over

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty years here of US military intervention abroad. We've learned

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>painful lessons. I want us to apply them in the

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>current moment. I want us to remember what we thought

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>we knew, that we didn't know, and what we forgot

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that we should have known. Now we had to learn

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it again. I don't want us to learn it yet again.

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I want us to actually remember what happened in the past.

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I have concerns here. People are talking

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 1>about a no flies of it's not that symbol. And

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>also how many Russian How many Russian planes do you

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>think they'll let get shot out of the sky before

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>they decide? All right, well, now we're just now, we're

0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>just going to pummel Keith. Putin could actually really flatten

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>these cities in a matter of days, perhaps hours, if

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even talking about nukes. If he chose to

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 1>do so, he could turn keev into rubble. There's nothing

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>right now that we'd be able to do about it.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And you say, oh, no, fly Zo, And I'm talking

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>about firing missile and artillery barrages. If he decided to

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>go in discriminate, he could level one of these cities entirely.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>It would look like Dresden in the Second World War

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or Tokyo during the fire bombing. He could do that.

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't think, oh, he won't do that when we're

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>shutting Russian planes out of this. Why is that because

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.199
<v Speaker 1>he's such a humanitarian. Think it through and it becomes

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot more complicated. I understand right now we

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>are in a particularly anxious and emotional people in America.

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Not you and me, but a lot of people here.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>They've been through two years of the pandemic in the masking.

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's a little bit on edge, and that's going away.

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a need now they have a

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of host pandemic syndrome for all we have to

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>we have to move as part of the herd, or

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>else catastrophe will happen. Just we take a step back,

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>we think about this and we try to apply reason, judgment,

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and knowledge to it instead of just whatever feels like

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the thing. We should do in the moment. And also,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you there was a UFC fighter. This

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>guy went viral over the weekend for explaining a very

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>basic sentiment that I think has been lost from the

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>American foreign policy set for a long time. You'll hear

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>it in just a moment. It's worth sticking around just

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>for that. You've heard me say that what's happening in

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>our cities to police is a disgrace, and it is.

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>They're caught between hostile activists, those that fund them, rogue prosecutors,

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the liberal media that hates them, and misguided political leaders

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>who pander progressive policies have resulted in wrongful charges for

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.719

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>So here is UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell here on why

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.559
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to go fight in Ukraine. Just why

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>don't he get your thoughts on the whole Russia and

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's situation. Here's my first shots. I'm not going nowhere

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to fight, none of these wars for these politicians. I'm

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>staying at home. And when the war comes Arkansas, I

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>will dig my boots in the ground and I will

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>die for everything I love. And I will not retreat.

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 1>If this country's invaded and everybody's saying, well, we gotta evacuate,

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we gotta leave, I will not. I will dig my

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>boots into Arkansas soil, and I will fight for the

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>people that I love, for the land that I love,

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>in the way of life that I love. But I'm

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>not going overseas to fight. I don't know what's going on,

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.319
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, brother, I really don't. There's so much stuff,

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think nobody knows what's going on. Fully,

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he was speaking for millions and millions of

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Americans there because it really resented with me. I've said before,

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I've I said to Clay on the Clay and Buck Show.

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, if China invades America, if the Chinese are

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>landing amphibious craft in Long Island, you know, whatever skills

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I used to have or rusty, I'd still be out

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>there with an M four and doing my best to

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>defend the country that I love and the people that

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I love, no question about it. But Ukraine, No, no,

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not my fight. It's not my country, it's not

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>my people. For those who want to go there and fight,

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the doors have been kicked wide open. And let's also

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>understand that there are there are plenty of ways people

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>can go there and fight. Do you believe so strongly

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>in that cause you can go there and fight against

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the Russians. I would obviously not advise anybody to do that.

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I can just tell you, knowing a bit about the

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Russian military and the Soviet military practices of the last

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty or forty years, you really don't want to be

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>an American foreign fighter caught by the Russians in Ukraine.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you that would be And obviously you

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>could die just by being hit with artillery or being shot,

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>but if they were to capture you, I think that

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>would be even worse. So I'm just saying this is

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a moment where we all ask ourselves what are we

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>willing to fight and die for? And if I'm not

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>willing to send someone else in my stead, well, I'm sorry.

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>If I'm not willing to fight, why should I send

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>someone else in my stead? I'm forty years old. I

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>could still go out there and get it done, but

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to do that, So I would I

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>want someone else to go and fight when I'm not

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>willing to go and fight. I was willing to go

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>up and do my part in Iraq and Afghanistan civilian analysts,

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>but armed would have been a combatant that had captured

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>me would not have been good. So I wouldn't do

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>that here. And by the way, I think one of

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the lessons we learned in Iraq as well, let's not

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>invade countries unless we are damn sure that we have

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a very good reason for it. Afghanistan is different. I

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.239
<v Speaker 1>think that was mishandled, but the initial invasion of Afghanistan

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>or the strike back at Afghanistan was absolutely necessary. You

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>can't allow people to have terror training camps that are

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>plotting strikes against you and not have consequences for it. I

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so that was quite clear. Ron Paul voted

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for that war. Just to give you a sense. I mean,

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>so there are war there are just wars. There are

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>wars you need to fight. And I think that Bryce

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell of the UFC was speaking too exactly. That Ukrainian

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>people they're right to fight back against Russian aggression and

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that they are able to defeat the Russians

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and that this ends quickly and that there's an absolute

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>bare minimum loss of life. But once you start talking

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>about no fly zones, once you have a discussion about

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the US shooting Russian planes out of the sky, now

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 1>this is my problem, this is our problem. Right away.

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>We have to hold the line here. People are going

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to get very emotional. There's going to be a huge

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>refugee flow out of you already is, but a bigger

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>refugee flow out of Ukraine. You're going to see terrible

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>things because that's the nature of warfare. But this talk

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>about assassinating Poutin or a no fly zone river. This

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>is not an action movie. This stuff has very real consequences,

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately you have to decide are you in favor

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of what is best for the American people in American interests.

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>If I were the commander in chief and I had

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>sent fighter planes to go patrol the skies of Ukraine,

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and then I had to sit down and look in

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the eyes of the family of the fall, and when

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a Russian S four hundred shoots one of our planes

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>out of the sky, it's guaranteed to happen. By the way,

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>if we have no fly zone. What I looked in

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the eyes and say, this was absolutely necessary. Your your

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>son or your daughter had to die in a fireball

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>over over you know, fifteen hundred feet over the over

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the ground in Keith or Mariupol or wherever. No. I

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to do that. I wouldn't be able

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to do that. And so that's how that's how I

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>see it. And I know that there's some of you

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:24.959
<v Speaker 1>who are going to disagree with me. I've already heard

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>from some who say, look, this is terrible, it's it's

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a genocide. I don't think that that's an accurate term.

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 1>It's an aggressive it's a war of expansion and conquest.

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>If it was a genocide, Putin would just try to

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>kill every person with the military that he could, and

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>we would see that. I mean that that also, I

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.239
<v Speaker 1>think could be an escalation from a direct confrontation with

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Putin at least a dramatic escalation of the killing of civilians.

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So we have to think about this with seriousness. And

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what brings me to the issue of the gas

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and oil sections and the economy here, because I think

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that really shows there's a lot of tough talk around

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, but what is a Biden administration. What are

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the warhawks really willing to do? And we're talking about

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>no fly zone. I'm willing to pay for gas at

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty, one hundred and fifty, one hundred

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and eighty, maybe two hundred dollars a barrel. We'll get

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>into that in a second. You run a small business,

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>but who's running your HR If the answer is I'll

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>figure it out myself or honestly, no one, remember that

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>one employee complaint can turn your world upside down, can

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>really devastate your business. Oh my gosh the legal bills alone.

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>But HR is not just about avoiding risk. As a

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>business leader, you should do right by the people you employ.

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 1>That's why you need Bambi. Bambi is an HR platform

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.879

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 1>so here's ABC Jonathan Carl asking the White House about

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the sanctions regime right now. Back to the key issue here,

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.479
<v Speaker 1>which is the question of the of banning the import

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of oil and gas from from Russia. You know it

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 1>is not insignificant. We actually taken more petroleum from Russia

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>than we do from Saudi Arabia, so the ban will

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>result in and and also obviously affects the world supply

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>as well, so you'll see oil go from not one

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars a barrel two one hundred and fifty, maybe

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars a barrel. But it's extraordinary, George, for

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.159
<v Speaker 1>all of the the sanctions that have been impost and

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 1>they have been unprecedented on Russia, to sanction everything but

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the thing that drives their economy, to sanction everything but

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I guess he was actually talking to George Stephanopolis. There,

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Jonathan carl But everything but what drives their economy,

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>because that would be really expensive and Democrats. Look, if

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi thought that's sanctioning the Russian economy, even if

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it drove prices up and drove gas prices up across

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the board for everybody in America, if she thought that

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 1>would mean Democrats lose fewer House seats and the Democrats

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>would would stay in power. I mean, she'd be calling

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>for us to napalm Putin's house. I mean she would

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be the biggest Warhawk imaginable. This is just about power

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>for democrats here at home. That's how they're making their decisions.

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to drive the emotion of the mob and

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to maintain their control on power. That's it if

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the core principles involved here. So just remember that while

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 1>they're talking tough about no fly zones and all the

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>rest of it. Okay, what exactly are we willing to

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>do economically if we sanctioned banks, That's how you'd actually

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>do it. If we sanctioned banks that we're doing business

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Russian energy sector, all of the world. I mean,

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Putin's economy would basically come to a screeching halt something

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>close to it would be a disaster for them. But

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>would that also push him into a corner that might

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 1>result in something we couldn't anticipate or expect. These are

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the questions we have. I'll continue to work through all

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>of this with you. I know I didn't get into

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>COVID stuff today. I will tomorrow. But basically, my friend

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Carol Markowitz was a piece in the New York Post

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>about how we have to demand apologies from the people

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>who pushed this stuff we have. They actually need to

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>be publicly humiliated, Their ideas need to be publicly humiliated, Lockdowns,

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.919
<v Speaker 1>masking all of it, or else it's coming back and

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>they get away with it, and I refuse to allow that.

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into this more tomorrow. Team, Thanks for rolling

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 1>with me on the Bucks extent show, Shields high
