Ukraine continues to put 4 00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:25,737 Speaker 1: up a valiant fight to slow the advance of the 5 00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:30,297 Speaker 1: Russian military machine. Fifteen days into this invasion, casualties are 6 00:00:30,337 --> 00:00:32,897 Speaker 1: mounting on both sides, as diplomatic efforts between the two 7 00:00:33,017 --> 00:00:35,377 Speaker 1: nations have thus far failed to bring an end to 8 00:00:35,417 --> 00:00:39,377 Speaker 1: the bloodshed. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is assuring our allies 9 00:00:39,417 --> 00:00:43,457 Speaker 1: of America's commitment to Ukrainian victory by sending Kamala Harris 10 00:00:43,537 --> 00:00:49,457 Speaker 1: to Warsaw inspiring friends, it is time for hold the line. 11 00:00:54,737 --> 00:00:57,097 Speaker 1: Welcome to hold the line on buck Sexton. The situation 12 00:00:57,217 --> 00:01:02,017 Speaker 1: on the ground in Ukraine is dire and getting worse. 13 00:01:02,137 --> 00:01:06,337 Speaker 1: That much is for sure. You have Ukrainians taking more casualty, 14 00:01:06,417 --> 00:01:09,937 Speaker 1: Civilian casualties rising as well, and it looks as other 15 00:01:10,097 --> 00:01:15,657 Speaker 1: Russian war machine is increasingly encircling major cities, cutting off 16 00:01:15,777 --> 00:01:20,337 Speaker 1: Ukrainian fighters from reinforcements, and in just a matter of 17 00:01:20,457 --> 00:01:24,377 Speaker 1: time will have surrounded the capital city of Kiev. Here 18 00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,097 Speaker 1: you see they're moving in from the north, the east, end, 19 00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,937 Speaker 1: the south, and it looks as though they're going to 20 00:01:29,937 --> 00:01:34,177 Speaker 1: be expanding those red areas of Russian military control in 21 00:01:34,217 --> 00:01:37,737 Speaker 1: the days ahead, as some of these cities are increasingly 22 00:01:37,777 --> 00:01:42,897 Speaker 1: in places like Kharkiev and Mariopel are coming under strong 23 00:01:43,057 --> 00:01:47,177 Speaker 1: bombardment from the Russians, and the Ukrainian fighters are starting 24 00:01:47,177 --> 00:01:50,537 Speaker 1: to lose territory or lose ground in these areas. This 25 00:01:50,657 --> 00:01:54,177 Speaker 1: is vicious urban combat that is underway. The Russians are 26 00:01:54,297 --> 00:01:57,697 Speaker 1: taking some heavy casualties and all of this depending on 27 00:01:57,737 --> 00:02:00,937 Speaker 1: the estimates you see. It's in the thousands of Russian 28 00:02:00,977 --> 00:02:05,337 Speaker 1: casualties already, and there is certainly a lot of reporting 29 00:02:05,377 --> 00:02:10,417 Speaker 1: on Russian troop morale being pretty low. They don't really 30 00:02:10,457 --> 00:02:11,977 Speaker 1: want to be in this word, at least a lot 31 00:02:12,017 --> 00:02:13,817 Speaker 1: of the Russian troops realize this is not a just 32 00:02:14,017 --> 00:02:16,897 Speaker 1: war by any stretch. But the Ukrainians are outmanned and 33 00:02:16,977 --> 00:02:19,617 Speaker 1: out guns still, and the Russian war machine is moving 34 00:02:19,657 --> 00:02:24,537 Speaker 1: forward despite the valiant resistance that has been shown so far. 35 00:02:25,897 --> 00:02:30,097 Speaker 1: The situation now is one that would likely only change 36 00:02:30,177 --> 00:02:34,657 Speaker 1: dramatically if there was a major intervention from Western powers 37 00:02:34,777 --> 00:02:37,457 Speaker 1: like a no fly zone, and that so far is 38 00:02:37,497 --> 00:02:40,457 Speaker 1: off the table. I view that as a bad idea, 39 00:02:40,497 --> 00:02:42,057 Speaker 1: because I do not want the United States to go 40 00:02:42,097 --> 00:02:45,217 Speaker 1: to war with Russia over Ukraine. I don't want NATO 41 00:02:45,257 --> 00:02:48,057 Speaker 1: to go to war with Russia over Ukraine either. We 42 00:02:48,097 --> 00:02:50,737 Speaker 1: should be helping but allowing the Ukrainian people to fight 43 00:02:51,257 --> 00:02:56,937 Speaker 1: for themselves. And then there's the Biden administration diplomatic response 44 00:02:57,017 --> 00:03:00,257 Speaker 1: going on. In the background of all of this Kamala Harris, 45 00:03:00,337 --> 00:03:05,457 Speaker 1: who has really shown an impressive ability to look completely 46 00:03:05,457 --> 00:03:08,777 Speaker 1: incompetent at every stage of the Biden presidency so far 47 00:03:09,257 --> 00:03:11,857 Speaker 1: and to create a lot of cringe worthy moments. I'd 48 00:03:11,857 --> 00:03:15,097 Speaker 1: also note why are they wearing masks outside in this photo? 49 00:03:15,217 --> 00:03:18,937 Speaker 1: Not to draw in this COVID discussion right now, but 50 00:03:19,377 --> 00:03:22,417 Speaker 1: masking outside is never anyway. They were all in the 51 00:03:22,417 --> 00:03:24,777 Speaker 1: White House at the State of the Union unmasked, but 52 00:03:24,817 --> 00:03:27,537 Speaker 1: now they're masking outside. Now Kamala's masking outside. This is 53 00:03:27,897 --> 00:03:32,497 Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. But here's Kamala saying, well, this is about 54 00:03:32,537 --> 00:03:37,297 Speaker 1: defending the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Wash I am here 55 00:03:37,857 --> 00:03:42,617 Speaker 1: standing here on the northern flank, on the Eastern flank 56 00:03:42,737 --> 00:03:46,017 Speaker 1: talking about what we have in terms of the Eastern 57 00:03:46,057 --> 00:03:49,497 Speaker 1: Flank and ARNATO allies and what is at stake at 58 00:03:49,537 --> 00:03:53,817 Speaker 1: this very moment. What is at stake this very moment 59 00:03:54,457 --> 00:03:58,857 Speaker 1: are some of the guiding principles around the NATO alliance, 60 00:03:59,337 --> 00:04:03,017 Speaker 1: and in particular the issue and the importance of defending 61 00:04:03,657 --> 00:04:08,817 Speaker 1: sovereignty and territorial integrity. In this case of Ukraine, at 62 00:04:08,897 --> 00:04:12,737 Speaker 1: least she got the country name right. Oh boy. Look, 63 00:04:13,057 --> 00:04:16,577 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has a lot of people who have 64 00:04:16,617 --> 00:04:21,217 Speaker 1: a long history of failure in terms of decision making. 65 00:04:22,297 --> 00:04:23,777 Speaker 1: Joe Biden at the top of that list. Of course, 66 00:04:23,777 --> 00:04:25,497 Speaker 1: for the last forty years he's been on the wrong 67 00:04:25,537 --> 00:04:29,217 Speaker 1: side of every major foreign policy issue. But beyond that, 68 00:04:29,697 --> 00:04:31,777 Speaker 1: even the last year, I mean, just look at Afghanistan. 69 00:04:32,777 --> 00:04:35,777 Speaker 1: Look at the disaster that unfolded there for a withdrawal 70 00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:40,417 Speaker 1: operation done on a timetable that Biden and his team 71 00:04:40,537 --> 00:04:43,017 Speaker 1: established and then tried to execute on and we ended 72 00:04:43,097 --> 00:04:45,577 Speaker 1: up running out of that country. And they'll never forget 73 00:04:45,657 --> 00:04:48,297 Speaker 1: the footage of people on the airfield there trying to 74 00:04:48,377 --> 00:04:51,097 Speaker 1: jump on US planes they were taking off. It was 75 00:04:51,777 --> 00:04:55,617 Speaker 1: a disaster. And Kamala Harris, who was at one point 76 00:04:55,657 --> 00:04:59,217 Speaker 1: assigned to the US Mexico border to deal with that, 77 00:04:59,537 --> 00:05:02,137 Speaker 1: instead would go down to Central America to look at 78 00:05:02,217 --> 00:05:07,057 Speaker 1: root causes, as if that's going to fix anything. But 79 00:05:07,097 --> 00:05:11,097 Speaker 1: she has been dispatched by the Biden regime to have 80 00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:14,537 Speaker 1: some hand in this diplomatic effort. It's not going well, 81 00:05:14,577 --> 00:05:16,617 Speaker 1: but she is saying some of the basics. At least 82 00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:18,777 Speaker 1: I'll give her credit for that. Like they're going to 83 00:05:18,857 --> 00:05:21,697 Speaker 1: keep helping the Ukrainians. Watch this one. I can tell 84 00:05:21,737 --> 00:05:28,457 Speaker 1: you that the issue facing the Ukrainian people and our 85 00:05:28,497 --> 00:05:35,097 Speaker 1: allies an eastern flank is something that occupies one of 86 00:05:35,097 --> 00:05:39,857 Speaker 1: our highest priorities in terms of paying attention to the 87 00:05:39,977 --> 00:05:44,297 Speaker 1: needs understanding. It is a dynamic situation and requires us 88 00:05:44,297 --> 00:05:48,537 Speaker 1: to be nimble and to be swift. I mentioned being 89 00:05:48,577 --> 00:05:53,177 Speaker 1: swift in terms of accountability and consequence. We also fully 90 00:05:53,297 --> 00:05:57,617 Speaker 1: appreciate we must be swift in terms of providing assistance 91 00:05:57,937 --> 00:06:00,697 Speaker 1: where we can be helpful, and we will continue to 92 00:06:00,737 --> 00:06:06,017 Speaker 1: do that. Really inspiring stuff from Kamala Harris there amazing. 93 00:06:06,057 --> 00:06:08,777 Speaker 1: I mean, people are ready to storm the beaches of 94 00:06:08,777 --> 00:06:12,497 Speaker 1: Normandy after hearing that one absurd But Kamala Harris is 95 00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,737 Speaker 1: the vice president, so this is going to continue. We 96 00:06:14,777 --> 00:06:17,137 Speaker 1: need more serious people than what we have at the 97 00:06:17,177 --> 00:06:21,577 Speaker 1: top of this Biden regime. But unfortunately this is the 98 00:06:21,657 --> 00:06:25,417 Speaker 1: government that we currently have in this country. Terrible things 99 00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:26,857 Speaker 1: are happening right now in Ukraine. I mean there was 100 00:06:26,857 --> 00:06:29,937 Speaker 1: the maternity hospital that in Mariopol that was a bomb. 101 00:06:29,977 --> 00:06:33,417 Speaker 1: You see the aftermath of it. Here. There are awful 102 00:06:33,457 --> 00:06:35,417 Speaker 1: things going on. This is a war that did not 103 00:06:35,577 --> 00:06:38,337 Speaker 1: have to happen. Just the fact that this war was 104 00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:41,977 Speaker 1: launched is a failure of diplomacy. Diplomacy that really was 105 00:06:42,017 --> 00:06:47,057 Speaker 1: being led by the Biden administration. It didn't happen for 106 00:06:47,097 --> 00:06:49,817 Speaker 1: four years under President Trump. It happened in the first 107 00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:53,697 Speaker 1: year of Joe Biden's presidency. And it's because Joe Biden 108 00:06:53,777 --> 00:06:56,017 Speaker 1: projects weakness on the world stage. He's too old for 109 00:06:56,057 --> 00:06:58,577 Speaker 1: the job, he's not very bright, and the people around 110 00:06:58,657 --> 00:07:03,977 Speaker 1: him live in a fantasy, fantasy land of liberal limousine 111 00:07:04,497 --> 00:07:07,937 Speaker 1: virtue signaling and don't understand how the real world actually works. 112 00:07:08,577 --> 00:07:11,617 Speaker 1: So things are going to worse in Ukraine in the 113 00:07:11,697 --> 00:07:15,297 Speaker 1: days ahead, and we can't expect any brilliant breakthrough on 114 00:07:15,337 --> 00:07:19,177 Speaker 1: diplomacy or otherwise from the Biden administration. So this is 115 00:07:19,177 --> 00:07:21,937 Speaker 1: going to be up to the Ukrainian people, and they 116 00:07:22,017 --> 00:07:24,177 Speaker 1: have a very tough fight on their hands. Here's uk 117 00:07:24,537 --> 00:07:29,377 Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Zelenski accusing Russia of genocide after that attack. 118 00:07:29,417 --> 00:07:31,737 Speaker 1: We just showed you on the maternity hospital. Watch I 119 00:07:31,977 --> 00:08:06,817 Speaker 1: have bomin Europe him we stovidovid bupa with ninety. There's 120 00:08:06,817 --> 00:08:09,657 Speaker 1: a man who's actually staying and fighting with his country, 121 00:08:10,337 --> 00:08:14,577 Speaker 1: and the whole world is watching this play out. Sergei Lavrov. 122 00:08:14,737 --> 00:08:18,457 Speaker 1: On the other hand, the Russian Foreign Minister is telling everyone, 123 00:08:18,457 --> 00:08:20,817 Speaker 1: don't worry, We're not going to attack other countries. But also, 124 00:08:21,577 --> 00:08:25,457 Speaker 1: we didn't attack Ukraine, he says, of the Russian Federation. 125 00:08:25,737 --> 00:08:44,577 Speaker 1: Watch this propaganda because a bus Yeah, Ukraine was asking 126 00:08:44,617 --> 00:08:47,657 Speaker 1: for it. Lavrov says, Basically, this is what we were 127 00:08:47,737 --> 00:08:50,097 Speaker 1: up against, friends, um, and this is what the Ukrainians 128 00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:51,577 Speaker 1: are the ones who are really up against it, because 129 00:08:51,577 --> 00:08:53,417 Speaker 1: they're the ones doing this fighting day in and day out, 130 00:08:53,937 --> 00:08:56,217 Speaker 1: and our thoughts and prayers are with them. We'll have 131 00:08:56,257 --> 00:08:58,257 Speaker 1: more analysis on the situation the ground in Ukraine with 132 00:08:58,377 --> 00:09:01,417 Speaker 1: Senior fellout, the foundation for defensive democracy built Roggio.

The war now entering its third week as 150 00:09:52,017 --> 00:09:55,137 Speaker 1: the world witnesses the devastating reality on the ground. In Ukraine, 151 00:09:55,617 --> 00:09:59,137 Speaker 1: Russian forces violated a ceasefire and targeted the southern city 152 00:09:59,137 --> 00:10:03,217 Speaker 1: of Mariopol, where strikes killed thousands of civilians and devastated 153 00:10:03,217 --> 00:10:07,017 Speaker 1: of Eternity hospital. In a tweet from Ukraine's President Zelenski, 154 00:10:07,097 --> 00:10:11,857 Speaker 1: he called the attack a direct strike from Russian true writing, people, 155 00:10:12,617 --> 00:10:16,817 Speaker 1: children are under the wreckage atrocity. How much longer will 156 00:10:16,817 --> 00:10:20,377 Speaker 1: the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky 157 00:10:20,657 --> 00:10:23,697 Speaker 1: right now, stop the killings. You have power, but you 158 00:10:23,737 --> 00:10:28,297 Speaker 1: seem to be losing humanity. The devastation is likely to 159 00:10:28,337 --> 00:10:31,697 Speaker 1: continue and escalate in the coming days, as Ukrainians are 160 00:10:31,737 --> 00:10:35,777 Speaker 1: mounting a desperate effort to halt the Russian war machine. 161 00:10:36,057 --> 00:10:38,497 Speaker 1: Here to give his analysis on what's happening on the ground, 162 00:10:38,497 --> 00:10:41,817 Speaker 1: a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defensive Democracies, Bill Roggio. 163 00:10:41,937 --> 00:10:45,177 Speaker 1: Feel good to see it, thanks, but it's always a pleasure. 164 00:10:45,577 --> 00:10:48,297 Speaker 1: So let's first look at what's actually happening on the ground. 165 00:10:48,377 --> 00:10:51,297 Speaker 1: We've got a map to show folks at home so 166 00:10:51,337 --> 00:10:54,697 Speaker 1: they can see here. Explain to us how this Russian 167 00:10:54,777 --> 00:10:58,657 Speaker 1: advance has gone so far, what their targets are, what 168 00:10:58,777 --> 00:11:02,697 Speaker 1: the strategy is up to present day. Sure, up in 169 00:11:02,737 --> 00:11:04,577 Speaker 1: the north, I think you could see the Russians are 170 00:11:04,617 --> 00:11:09,377 Speaker 1: advancing on the Ukraine. There's also another big city up there, 171 00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:12,617 Speaker 1: it's called shah It's right on the edge of the 172 00:11:13,057 --> 00:11:16,577 Speaker 1: Red and the North Um. So they're doing Also, they're 173 00:11:16,617 --> 00:11:20,017 Speaker 1: prepared to surround the province there that would essentially cut 174 00:11:20,057 --> 00:11:22,817 Speaker 1: off all you if they're able to pull this off 175 00:11:23,377 --> 00:11:26,337 Speaker 1: um and this advance has been plotting, but it's it's 176 00:11:26,337 --> 00:11:31,177 Speaker 1: been moving forward. I heard a Defense Department spokesman calling 177 00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:34,177 Speaker 1: Russian advances when they were saying stalled. Now they're saying 178 00:11:34,177 --> 00:11:37,217 Speaker 1: they're making moderate games. So it's going forward. And I 179 00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:40,857 Speaker 1: anticipate this gap, this entirclement in the north to close, 180 00:11:41,457 --> 00:11:44,017 Speaker 1: perhaps within the next week. It could be days, and 181 00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:46,257 Speaker 1: could be a week, it could be several weeks. In 182 00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:50,817 Speaker 1: the west, you see a similar thing happening. You're Luhanski, 183 00:11:50,897 --> 00:11:55,257 Speaker 1: you gotta and actually there's reporting that the Russians are 184 00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:56,577 Speaker 1: going to go all the way from the south and 185 00:11:56,657 --> 00:11:59,177 Speaker 1: the Crimea. If you draw a straight line up to 186 00:11:59,497 --> 00:12:03,657 Speaker 1: to carkiv Um, that area the Russians look like they're pushing, 187 00:12:03,697 --> 00:12:06,217 Speaker 1: you could see you could see that developing on the map, 188 00:12:06,617 --> 00:12:08,617 Speaker 1: and that would cut off, essentially cut off the far 189 00:12:08,657 --> 00:12:11,977 Speaker 1: eastern part of Ukraine includes the Don Boss that contested 190 00:12:12,057 --> 00:12:15,417 Speaker 1: area where there's a lot of Ukrainian troops holding the 191 00:12:15,457 --> 00:12:18,417 Speaker 1: line there, so the Ukrainians are and then in the 192 00:12:18,417 --> 00:12:21,617 Speaker 1: south you have a continuing advanced The Black Sea is 193 00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:25,977 Speaker 1: almost fully under control of the Russians. That would you know, 194 00:12:26,017 --> 00:12:28,937 Speaker 1: if the Russians decided to keep this after any armistic 195 00:12:29,377 --> 00:12:34,377 Speaker 1: that would starve the Russian economy. So you know, we 196 00:12:34,417 --> 00:12:36,817 Speaker 1: spoke earlier at the beginning of this buck and I said, 197 00:12:37,217 --> 00:12:39,937 Speaker 1: this is a you can see an organized defensive here, 198 00:12:39,937 --> 00:12:42,257 Speaker 1: and that's where it's starting to see develop on this map. 199 00:12:43,217 --> 00:12:46,697 Speaker 1: The situation looks grim for the Ukrainians, but they're fighting hard, 200 00:12:47,137 --> 00:12:49,097 Speaker 1: and I think they're fighting hard, harder than a lot 201 00:12:49,177 --> 00:12:54,057 Speaker 1: of people figured they would. To that end, there's video 202 00:12:54,217 --> 00:12:56,217 Speaker 1: that got a lot of attention to I'm sure you 203 00:12:56,217 --> 00:12:58,937 Speaker 1: saw this bill of a tank column, Russian tank column 204 00:12:59,417 --> 00:13:03,137 Speaker 1: that's getting chewed up by Ukrainian incoming fire on the 205 00:13:03,177 --> 00:13:06,497 Speaker 1: outskirts of Kiev. You see here in real time that's 206 00:13:06,537 --> 00:13:08,497 Speaker 1: what occurred there. I mean you could you know, the 207 00:13:08,577 --> 00:13:11,137 Speaker 1: video is pretty clear, this tank column getting hit, getting 208 00:13:11,217 --> 00:13:16,537 Speaker 1: hit hard. Is this indicative of what the Russians are 209 00:13:16,537 --> 00:13:19,537 Speaker 1: coming up against in all places where they're trying to advance? 210 00:13:19,937 --> 00:13:23,377 Speaker 1: And do we have any real sense of what Russian 211 00:13:23,897 --> 00:13:28,657 Speaker 1: material and personnel losses are up to this point? On 212 00:13:28,777 --> 00:13:31,337 Speaker 1: the second question, we really don't. Are the estimates that 213 00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:33,697 Speaker 1: are coming out that are being repeated at the Department 214 00:13:33,697 --> 00:13:37,297 Speaker 1: of Defense essentially mirror that of the Ukrainians, and the 215 00:13:37,377 --> 00:13:40,577 Speaker 1: Ukrainians have been very clear that they're attempting to win 216 00:13:40,697 --> 00:13:43,537 Speaker 1: this war on social media when this war in the media. 217 00:13:43,777 --> 00:13:47,817 Speaker 1: So I think they're inflating Russian casualties, but I wouldn't 218 00:13:47,857 --> 00:13:51,497 Speaker 1: doubt if the Russians have taken thousands gilled or wounded. 219 00:13:52,337 --> 00:13:55,497 Speaker 1: Watching clips like this is very instructive. We see an 220 00:13:55,497 --> 00:13:59,617 Speaker 1: attack on a Russian column, we see Russian tanks being destroyed, 221 00:13:59,937 --> 00:14:03,617 Speaker 1: but it's a piece of the puzzle. It's not the 222 00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:06,937 Speaker 1: entire picture. Do there's Russian tanks as they're moving? Are 223 00:14:06,977 --> 00:14:11,257 Speaker 1: they advancing or they retreating? The Russians, I believe, have 224 00:14:11,457 --> 00:14:16,697 Speaker 1: calculated that they will take losses, but they're taking those losses, 225 00:14:16,697 --> 00:14:19,537 Speaker 1: but they're continuing as that even the Defense Department has 226 00:14:19,577 --> 00:14:23,177 Speaker 1: stated they're moderately gaining ground. This is this is part 227 00:14:23,217 --> 00:14:25,537 Speaker 1: of the stiff defense. What we're seeing in that video 228 00:14:25,577 --> 00:14:28,097 Speaker 1: as part of the stiff defense that the Ukrainians are 229 00:14:28,097 --> 00:14:30,737 Speaker 1: putting up. But the question is is it enough to 230 00:14:30,777 --> 00:14:36,177 Speaker 1: stop the Russian advance? What would be a game changer 231 00:14:36,337 --> 00:14:39,697 Speaker 1: at this stage short of a no fly zone. Is 232 00:14:39,697 --> 00:14:45,137 Speaker 1: there anything that outside outside actors here, NATO, America, the 233 00:14:45,177 --> 00:14:49,417 Speaker 1: West could do, could provide, could assist with that might 234 00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:52,257 Speaker 1: actually bring the Russian war machine, if not to defeat, 235 00:14:52,537 --> 00:14:57,177 Speaker 1: to something like a stalemate situation. Is there anything? I 236 00:14:57,177 --> 00:15:00,177 Speaker 1: don't think there is short of an intervention from NATO 237 00:15:00,297 --> 00:15:05,697 Speaker 1: forces right now, the Russians, as things stand, and we 238 00:15:05,737 --> 00:15:09,857 Speaker 1: have to understand these wars a dynamic situation and you know, 239 00:15:10,137 --> 00:15:13,977 Speaker 1: Richins can change tomorrow. But as I'm observing this operation, 240 00:15:14,337 --> 00:15:17,857 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing is the Russians are slowly advancing, slowly 241 00:15:17,897 --> 00:15:23,097 Speaker 1: grinding down the Ukrainian forces. We see a lot of 242 00:15:23,177 --> 00:15:27,897 Speaker 1: reporting on Russian casualties, Russian destruction of Russian vehicles. We 243 00:15:28,057 --> 00:15:31,577 Speaker 1: don't get any We have zero sense of Ukrainians are losing. 244 00:15:31,617 --> 00:15:35,217 Speaker 1: This is not being covered. So this is all the 245 00:15:35,257 --> 00:15:39,137 Speaker 1: fog of war. But short of NATO going to war, 246 00:15:39,257 --> 00:15:42,537 Speaker 1: and this would require going to war with Russian imposing 247 00:15:42,577 --> 00:15:46,017 Speaker 1: a no fly zone, is going to war with Russia. 248 00:15:46,257 --> 00:15:48,897 Speaker 1: That's what it would take at this stage to turn 249 00:15:48,977 --> 00:15:52,977 Speaker 1: the time. What's the situation of the Russian Air force 250 00:15:53,017 --> 00:15:56,297 Speaker 1: and their use of close air support here. I've been 251 00:15:56,337 --> 00:16:00,537 Speaker 1: seeing conflicting analysis bill that the Russians are holding back 252 00:16:00,937 --> 00:16:04,297 Speaker 1: their air superiority at some level. They haven't gotten total 253 00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:07,657 Speaker 1: control of the skies over Ukraine quite yet. I've also 254 00:16:07,697 --> 00:16:11,417 Speaker 1: seen people say, no, the Russians are having problems coordinating 255 00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:15,177 Speaker 1: complex air to ground support and operations. Do we have 256 00:16:15,217 --> 00:16:17,457 Speaker 1: a sense of that? Can you tell us what the 257 00:16:17,497 --> 00:16:22,937 Speaker 1: reality is? What I believe is happening is that the 258 00:16:23,017 --> 00:16:27,737 Speaker 1: Russians are gaining air superiority in tactical situations. So if 259 00:16:27,777 --> 00:16:31,097 Speaker 1: they're going to advance on this road or in this area, 260 00:16:31,137 --> 00:16:33,817 Speaker 1: or push on this front, they can gain air superiority 261 00:16:33,897 --> 00:16:36,177 Speaker 1: when they choose to do it. What they haven't done 262 00:16:36,257 --> 00:16:40,097 Speaker 1: is provided a blanket air superiority. We could only guess 263 00:16:40,257 --> 00:16:42,657 Speaker 1: as to why this is the case. Is it the 264 00:16:42,697 --> 00:16:45,657 Speaker 1: problem of the Russians not wanting to do this? Is 265 00:16:45,697 --> 00:16:48,697 Speaker 1: it a problem of the Russians being unable to do it? 266 00:16:49,177 --> 00:16:52,777 Speaker 1: I suspect it it's a combination of both. I wonder 267 00:16:52,897 --> 00:16:58,137 Speaker 1: how much of Russia's military leadership wants to commit the 268 00:16:58,177 --> 00:17:02,617 Speaker 1: Russian air force into this battle because it knows it's 269 00:17:02,617 --> 00:17:05,377 Speaker 1: going to take losses. I think it's more willing to 270 00:17:05,417 --> 00:17:09,857 Speaker 1: do things like losed tanks and armored personnel barriers and 271 00:17:10,097 --> 00:17:13,657 Speaker 1: vehicles and infantryman that it is to lose key assets 272 00:17:13,737 --> 00:17:17,417 Speaker 1: like the aircraft. But you know, this is like getting 273 00:17:17,417 --> 00:17:19,817 Speaker 1: into the mind of Putin. What are in his intentions? 274 00:17:20,257 --> 00:17:23,017 Speaker 1: We could only surmise we don't know the true answer 275 00:17:23,017 --> 00:17:26,537 Speaker 1: in this case. And what do you think of the 276 00:17:26,617 --> 00:17:29,697 Speaker 1: chances that Vladimir Putin if there was a decision in 277 00:17:29,737 --> 00:17:33,817 Speaker 1: the future. For right now, the Democrats, the Republican seam 278 00:17:33,897 --> 00:17:36,537 Speaker 1: united at least in leadership. The American people by polling 279 00:17:36,617 --> 00:17:39,617 Speaker 1: support a no fly zone. But I think the more 280 00:17:39,657 --> 00:17:41,657 Speaker 1: they know about what a no fly zone would entail, 281 00:17:42,497 --> 00:17:45,937 Speaker 1: very rapidly, that support would would drop off. In your mind, 282 00:17:46,097 --> 00:17:48,057 Speaker 1: if if there was a NATO declaration of a no 283 00:17:48,177 --> 00:17:50,337 Speaker 1: fly zone, even let's say over the western half of 284 00:17:50,377 --> 00:17:56,657 Speaker 1: the country to protect humanitarian corridors, etc. Leviv, for example, 285 00:17:56,777 --> 00:17:59,697 Speaker 1: the western city. There's been calls for NATO to just 286 00:17:59,817 --> 00:18:02,737 Speaker 1: create a protectorate there. Do you think do you think 287 00:18:02,737 --> 00:18:06,297 Speaker 1: that Vladimir Putin would order for his forces, his air 288 00:18:06,337 --> 00:18:09,297 Speaker 1: force for example, or surfaced air missiles to engage and 289 00:18:09,337 --> 00:18:11,457 Speaker 1: to shoot down West and NATO planes. I mean, what 290 00:18:11,617 --> 00:18:13,457 Speaker 1: level of certainty in your mind is there that Putin 291 00:18:13,497 --> 00:18:18,097 Speaker 1: would actually go to that length? I think the on 292 00:18:18,217 --> 00:18:20,417 Speaker 1: the issue a no fly zone. In order to enforce 293 00:18:20,457 --> 00:18:23,937 Speaker 1: the no flize no flies one, you would need to 294 00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:27,577 Speaker 1: target Russian troops on the ground, not just in Ukraine, 295 00:18:27,617 --> 00:18:29,777 Speaker 1: but in Russia because you need to insurface the airmis 296 00:18:29,857 --> 00:18:33,417 Speaker 1: if you need to hit you know, the missile launchers themselves, 297 00:18:33,417 --> 00:18:35,977 Speaker 1: anti aircraft guns. A lot of this equipment is not 298 00:18:36,097 --> 00:18:39,617 Speaker 1: based in Ukraine because these equipments have ranges of hundreds 299 00:18:39,617 --> 00:18:45,097 Speaker 1: of miles. They've shot down Ukrainian aircraft from Russia. So 300 00:18:46,257 --> 00:18:49,177 Speaker 1: you know, the idea of a note fly zone is great, 301 00:18:49,417 --> 00:18:52,177 Speaker 1: but I think that the devils in the details here, 302 00:18:52,617 --> 00:18:55,497 Speaker 1: and you know, there's no such thing as a partial 303 00:18:55,537 --> 00:18:58,257 Speaker 1: note fly zone. Even if you were to put that, 304 00:18:58,297 --> 00:19:01,097 Speaker 1: you know, to declare it in the far western half 305 00:19:01,097 --> 00:19:03,577 Speaker 1: of Ukraine, you would have to reach into Russia and 306 00:19:03,617 --> 00:19:06,937 Speaker 1: into western Ukraine. I think that if this did happen, 307 00:19:07,377 --> 00:19:11,217 Speaker 1: as long as this wasn't reaching over to Ye, I 308 00:19:11,217 --> 00:19:15,257 Speaker 1: would guess that that Putin would probably let this go. 309 00:19:15,297 --> 00:19:19,097 Speaker 1: We haven't seen a ton of military operations occurring far 310 00:19:19,217 --> 00:19:21,937 Speaker 1: west of Ye. It might be one. He won't be 311 00:19:22,017 --> 00:19:24,777 Speaker 1: happy about it, but I doubt that he wants to 312 00:19:24,857 --> 00:19:28,337 Speaker 1: risk in a direct intervention with you as sports so 313 00:19:28,457 --> 00:19:30,457 Speaker 1: but we're playing a game at chicken at that point. 314 00:19:30,497 --> 00:19:33,617 Speaker 1: But Bill, we'll have more on this sum with you. 315 00:19:33,737 --> 00:19:37,137 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, always a pleasure of thanks for having me, Buck. 316 00:19:39,337 --> 00:19:42,537 Speaker 1: Disney is weighing in on Florida's parental Rights and Education Bill, 317 00:19:42,577 --> 00:19:45,377 Speaker 1: adding its name to the list of woke corporations that 318 00:19:45,457 --> 00:19:49,017 Speaker 1: believe six year old should learn about gender identity in schools. 319 00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:52,057 Speaker 1: We'll have more on that with Newsweek Opinion editor Josh 320 00:19:52,137 --> 00:20:02,417 Speaker 1: Hammer coming up. As a controversy over Florida's Parental Rights 321 00:20:02,417 --> 00:20:05,417 Speaker 1: and Education Bill continues to grow all over the country. 322 00:20:05,817 --> 00:20:08,777 Speaker 1: Governor Ronda Santist is standing firm on his support for it, 323 00:20:08,817 --> 00:20:13,337 Speaker 1: even despite a concerted effort from the left to attack 324 00:20:13,417 --> 00:20:16,777 Speaker 1: him and a concerned phone call from Disney CEO Bob 325 00:20:16,937 --> 00:20:21,697 Speaker 1: Chapek and his company executives. The Disney chief had been 326 00:20:21,697 --> 00:20:24,377 Speaker 1: criticized earlier in the week for not condemning the bill 327 00:20:24,457 --> 00:20:27,937 Speaker 1: in strong enough terms. Chapek now claims that Governor de 328 00:20:28,057 --> 00:20:31,297 Speaker 1: Santis has agreed to meet with him and the LGBTQ 329 00:20:31,497 --> 00:20:36,617 Speaker 1: plus members of Disney's executive team.

I mean the 334 00:20:52,057 --> 00:20:54,697 Speaker 1: question why, obviously is the question that every American with 335 00:20:54,737 --> 00:20:56,537 Speaker 1: a four one K, with any kind of pension plan, 336 00:20:56,577 --> 00:20:58,457 Speaker 1: any kind of retirement plan, really kind of any skin 337 00:20:58,457 --> 00:21:01,377 Speaker 1: in the game whatsoever in the stock market, and Disney 338 00:21:01,377 --> 00:21:03,377 Speaker 1: in particular, of course, Really that's what we should be 339 00:21:03,377 --> 00:21:06,057 Speaker 1: asking right now. Okay, but will capital And we've seen 340 00:21:06,137 --> 00:21:09,137 Speaker 1: kind of the succession of this very toxic ideology over 341 00:21:09,177 --> 00:21:12,257 Speaker 1: the past five to ten years, where the spread of 342 00:21:12,297 --> 00:21:14,777 Speaker 1: the woke ideology, which I think kind of started obviously 343 00:21:14,817 --> 00:21:17,337 Speaker 1: in kind of fringe chectors of the American Academy. It 344 00:21:17,417 --> 00:21:19,817 Speaker 1: kind of has its start, It has its origins obviously 345 00:21:19,817 --> 00:21:22,657 Speaker 1: income the Frankfurt School back in the nineteen sixties and 346 00:21:22,697 --> 00:21:25,017 Speaker 1: a door known and the various theorists. It has now 347 00:21:25,057 --> 00:21:27,697 Speaker 1: exploded not just onto the college campus but into the 348 00:21:27,697 --> 00:21:30,177 Speaker 1: corporate boardroom and time and time again here we saw 349 00:21:30,177 --> 00:21:33,537 Speaker 1: where when Delta Airlines kind of boycotted Georgia with respect 350 00:21:33,537 --> 00:21:35,737 Speaker 1: to their pro life law a few years ago. We've 351 00:21:35,737 --> 00:21:38,977 Speaker 1: seen time and time again how these massive, mega fortune 352 00:21:38,977 --> 00:21:41,417 Speaker 1: five hundred companies put their thumb on the scale and 353 00:21:41,457 --> 00:21:43,617 Speaker 1: try to dictate public policy in a way that has 354 00:21:43,657 --> 00:21:47,657 Speaker 1: nothing whatsoever to do with the actual value of the stock, 355 00:21:47,737 --> 00:21:50,177 Speaker 1: the actual value of the company, which obviously was Milton 356 00:21:50,217 --> 00:21:52,017 Speaker 1: Freeman's theory of the firm, and I think is still 357 00:21:52,057 --> 00:21:54,217 Speaker 1: kind of corporate law is still good law, we would 358 00:21:54,257 --> 00:21:58,657 Speaker 1: say most jurisdictions today, So it's obviously totally nonsense. Disney 359 00:21:58,697 --> 00:22:01,337 Speaker 1: should stick to its fundamental business line and get the 360 00:22:01,377 --> 00:22:03,377 Speaker 1: hell out of the way of politics. It's also a 361 00:22:03,417 --> 00:22:06,137 Speaker 1: total fundamental misreading of the law as well, which a 362 00:22:06,177 --> 00:22:08,537 Speaker 1: lot of people have pointed out as well. But Disney 363 00:22:08,537 --> 00:22:09,737 Speaker 1: needs to just get the hell out of the way. 364 00:22:09,737 --> 00:22:12,497 Speaker 1: I mean, worry about your shares of your company, worry 365 00:22:12,537 --> 00:22:15,457 Speaker 1: about your shareholders to who you have the food cheery duty. 366 00:22:15,777 --> 00:22:18,377 Speaker 1: What is going on here with respect to an education 367 00:22:18,457 --> 00:22:20,657 Speaker 1: bill in the Florida legislature has nothing to do with 368 00:22:20,657 --> 00:22:24,617 Speaker 1: that whatsoever. And so are people, you think, because this 369 00:22:24,697 --> 00:22:27,137 Speaker 1: has gotten a lot more attention For days and days 370 00:22:27,257 --> 00:22:29,377 Speaker 1: you had the media is saying that don't say gay bill. 371 00:22:29,417 --> 00:22:32,377 Speaker 1: They were repeating this talking point that's not the name 372 00:22:32,417 --> 00:22:35,537 Speaker 1: of the bill. The bill doesn't say that, but every question, 373 00:22:35,577 --> 00:22:38,457 Speaker 1: every news headline that don't say gay bill. It seems 374 00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:41,577 Speaker 1: that now, because of the controversy around it, there's at 375 00:22:41,617 --> 00:22:44,497 Speaker 1: least some hope that people will understand what's in it 376 00:22:44,577 --> 00:22:48,417 Speaker 1: what's not. Are you seeing a change in the awareness 377 00:22:48,457 --> 00:22:51,697 Speaker 1: of what's actually contained in this in Florida and beyond, 378 00:22:53,737 --> 00:22:55,937 Speaker 1: you know, buck never I think in my adult's life 379 00:22:56,017 --> 00:22:58,657 Speaker 1: have I seen kind of the entirety of the corporate media, 380 00:22:58,697 --> 00:23:01,097 Speaker 1: the entirety of kind of the left leaning talking head 381 00:23:01,177 --> 00:23:07,217 Speaker 1: chattering head class unify on a slandering, very obviously misnaming 382 00:23:07,297 --> 00:23:09,937 Speaker 1: of a bill basically before the bill has even signed 383 00:23:09,937 --> 00:23:12,017 Speaker 1: in law. This bill has literally not been signed into 384 00:23:12,097 --> 00:23:15,457 Speaker 1: law yet, and everyone from from NBC to CNN, to 385 00:23:15,497 --> 00:23:17,737 Speaker 1: the New York Times, even to kind of fairly kind 386 00:23:17,737 --> 00:23:19,577 Speaker 1: of centrist outlets, I mean, even kind of the Wall 387 00:23:19,577 --> 00:23:21,817 Speaker 1: Street Journal, they are all kind of referring to this 388 00:23:21,897 --> 00:23:24,137 Speaker 1: as they don't say gay bill. But let me read 389 00:23:24,257 --> 00:23:26,657 Speaker 1: to you so your viewers can hear what the actual 390 00:23:26,817 --> 00:23:31,137 Speaker 1: allegedly controversial provision says. Okay, the law says, quote classroom 391 00:23:31,137 --> 00:23:35,497 Speaker 1: instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation 392 00:23:35,657 --> 00:23:40,377 Speaker 1: or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three, 393 00:23:40,617 --> 00:23:43,057 Speaker 1: or in a manner that is not age appropriate or 394 00:23:43,097 --> 00:23:47,497 Speaker 1: developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards. That's it. 395 00:23:47,777 --> 00:23:49,577 Speaker 1: The word gay does not appear on there. It has 396 00:23:49,617 --> 00:23:51,937 Speaker 1: nothing to do in there whatsoever. What the law is 397 00:23:51,977 --> 00:23:54,937 Speaker 1: saying is that if you are a kindergarten, first, second 398 00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:58,257 Speaker 1: or third grade teacher, you cannot talk to your students 399 00:23:58,497 --> 00:24:00,857 Speaker 1: about what it means to be gay or to be transgender. 400 00:24:00,897 --> 00:24:05,017 Speaker 1: Because these are young kids. Okay, these are young, easily shaped, 401 00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:08,977 Speaker 1: easily influenced, easily manipulate kids, and these are very sensitive 402 00:24:08,977 --> 00:24:12,177 Speaker 1: conversations that are best had in the comforts of one's 403 00:24:12,177 --> 00:24:14,617 Speaker 1: own home. That is all the bill is saying here. 404 00:24:14,857 --> 00:24:16,937 Speaker 1: This is not a controversial thing. But Buck, you're a 405 00:24:16,937 --> 00:24:19,177 Speaker 1: student of history just like I am. You know how 406 00:24:19,217 --> 00:24:20,857 Speaker 1: far back this goes. This goes back to kind of 407 00:24:20,897 --> 00:24:24,337 Speaker 1: Bolshevik Soviet erasocial theory. It's all about kind of breaking 408 00:24:24,377 --> 00:24:26,737 Speaker 1: down the family, given the government more and more power. 409 00:24:27,057 --> 00:24:29,537 Speaker 1: Here that's being done in the left of eyes through 410 00:24:29,537 --> 00:24:32,737 Speaker 1: obviously the public school of bureaucracy, the teachers, the teachers unions, 411 00:24:32,737 --> 00:24:35,217 Speaker 1: and the principles. That is what the ultimate eng goal 412 00:24:35,297 --> 00:24:36,737 Speaker 1: here obviously is to kind of a road of the 413 00:24:36,777 --> 00:24:39,817 Speaker 1: family rode, the family as the unit that is responsible 414 00:24:39,857 --> 00:24:42,177 Speaker 1: for teaching these very sensitive subjects and putting in the 415 00:24:42,217 --> 00:24:46,577 Speaker 1: hands of Wilke bureaucrats and Wilke teachers. Here is going 416 00:24:46,617 --> 00:24:50,697 Speaker 1: back to the Disney dust stop. Now with the Descentists 417 00:24:51,337 --> 00:24:54,977 Speaker 1: administration and the possible signing of this bill, Descantists team 418 00:24:55,017 --> 00:24:57,377 Speaker 1: put out this statement about the call with the Disney CEO. 419 00:24:57,857 --> 00:25:00,897 Speaker 1: The Governor's position has not changed. Disney is known as 420 00:25:00,897 --> 00:25:03,577 Speaker 1: a family family company that creates wholesome entertainment for kids. 421 00:25:04,057 --> 00:25:06,897 Speaker 1: The same Florida parents who take their families to Disney 422 00:25:06,977 --> 00:25:09,737 Speaker 1: also support parential rights and education because they do not 423 00:25:09,817 --> 00:25:12,817 Speaker 1: want to have their young children exposed to inappropriate content 424 00:25:12,897 --> 00:25:16,897 Speaker 1: about sex and gender theory at school. Kind I say, 425 00:25:17,097 --> 00:25:19,657 Speaker 1: I think the tide is turning on this as people 426 00:25:19,737 --> 00:25:23,377 Speaker 1: understand more about what's actually going on here, Josh. And 427 00:25:23,457 --> 00:25:26,457 Speaker 1: it also shows I think the left is very sensitive 428 00:25:26,537 --> 00:25:30,497 Speaker 1: right now too. They've been losing badly the battle over 429 00:25:30,537 --> 00:25:33,777 Speaker 1: parental rights. They've you know, when you look at Glenn 430 00:25:33,897 --> 00:25:38,297 Speaker 1: junkin his victory in Virginia and CRT, which they largely 431 00:25:38,417 --> 00:25:40,377 Speaker 1: now have backed away from that fight too, saying that 432 00:25:40,657 --> 00:25:42,977 Speaker 1: there was no CRT. CRT is good. You don't know 433 00:25:42,977 --> 00:25:45,177 Speaker 1: what CRT is. They couldn't even come up with a 434 00:25:45,217 --> 00:25:47,977 Speaker 1: coherent narrative, And it feels like this is the first 435 00:25:47,977 --> 00:25:50,537 Speaker 1: time the left has tried to push back on we 436 00:25:50,697 --> 00:25:52,777 Speaker 1: care about parental rights, or at least we have a 437 00:25:52,777 --> 00:25:55,977 Speaker 1: way of fighting back against parental rights. And maybe the 438 00:25:56,017 --> 00:25:59,897 Speaker 1: tide is turning on this one. So I think in general, 439 00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:01,977 Speaker 1: the tide and some of these kind of culture war 440 00:26:02,137 --> 00:26:05,217 Speaker 1: issues we might say, is turning a little bit towards 441 00:26:05,217 --> 00:26:06,857 Speaker 1: the right. Okay, I think we're starting to make more 442 00:26:06,897 --> 00:26:09,137 Speaker 1: inroads here, and you know what it ultimately takes. I 443 00:26:09,137 --> 00:26:12,057 Speaker 1: think it ultimately takes graphic images. So when we kind 444 00:26:12,097 --> 00:26:14,097 Speaker 1: of saw that video, this is obviously a slightly different issue, 445 00:26:14,097 --> 00:26:16,217 Speaker 1: but it's nonetheless very related. When a lot of us 446 00:26:16,217 --> 00:26:19,257 Speaker 1: saw that video of Leah Thomas of having the Nacre 447 00:26:19,497 --> 00:26:22,817 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania swimmer kind of beating the entire field 448 00:26:22,817 --> 00:26:25,697 Speaker 1: by twenty thirty seconds in these races, that is a 449 00:26:25,937 --> 00:26:28,577 Speaker 1: jarring visual. Okay. That is the kind of image that 450 00:26:28,617 --> 00:26:31,377 Speaker 1: one does not soon forget. Here, when we see kind 451 00:26:31,417 --> 00:26:34,457 Speaker 1: of literally from the drag queen's story hours. Okay, I 452 00:26:34,457 --> 00:26:37,697 Speaker 1: mean what happened in Virginia was very much coming backlash 453 00:26:37,857 --> 00:26:41,577 Speaker 1: against kind of the drag queen's storyization or the attempted 454 00:26:41,697 --> 00:26:45,377 Speaker 1: drag queen's storyization of kits. Whether it's critical race theory, 455 00:26:45,377 --> 00:26:47,657 Speaker 1: whether it's a sexualization of children, it's the same thing 456 00:26:47,737 --> 00:26:49,977 Speaker 1: that you are two sides of the exact same coin here. 457 00:26:50,017 --> 00:26:52,457 Speaker 1: And the end goal, of course, again is to kind 458 00:26:52,457 --> 00:26:57,337 Speaker 1: of indoctrinate. It's into rebelling against a family unit, structures, 459 00:26:57,377 --> 00:27:00,337 Speaker 1: traditional structures, religion, community, and ultimately kind the nation state 460 00:27:00,377 --> 00:27:02,337 Speaker 1: and really, if you want to extrapolate ultimately God himself, 461 00:27:02,377 --> 00:27:04,417 Speaker 1: I would argue at least but the left, I think 462 00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:06,137 Speaker 1: is on the defensive here, and it's because that we 463 00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:08,897 Speaker 1: on the right week in conservative media Newsweek ray at 464 00:27:08,937 --> 00:27:10,977 Speaker 1: a various kind of platforms, we have I think, done 465 00:27:11,017 --> 00:27:13,097 Speaker 1: a decent job of getting the message out here. We're 466 00:27:13,137 --> 00:27:15,297 Speaker 1: running a great outbed on this on Newsweek on Monday 467 00:27:15,617 --> 00:27:17,897 Speaker 1: by my good friend Max Eden on this topic. So 468 00:27:17,977 --> 00:27:19,897 Speaker 1: it'd tell the viewers of the show to not miss 469 00:27:19,937 --> 00:27:22,257 Speaker 1: that outbed for sure. It's real quick, is government of 470 00:27:22,257 --> 00:27:24,417 Speaker 1: scientists about to sign this. Do we know what the 471 00:27:25,417 --> 00:27:28,457 Speaker 1: status of the bill is. He's in the kid he 472 00:27:28,497 --> 00:27:31,297 Speaker 1: will sign it, but hopefully any day now. It's a 473 00:27:31,337 --> 00:27:33,257 Speaker 1: good bill in my perspective, it should definitely get sign 474 00:27:33,257 --> 00:27:36,497 Speaker 1: into law, but hopefully any day now. Josh Ammer, good 475 00:27:36,497 --> 00:27:39,217 Speaker 1: to see you man, Thanks so much, any time, Buck. 476 00:27:41,017 --> 00:27:44,417 Speaker 1: The Biden administration still has no coherent plan to ease 477 00:27:44,497 --> 00:27:46,377 Speaker 1: prices at the pump, but we know there's one thing 478 00:27:46,377 --> 00:27:49,697 Speaker 1: they're not considering energy independence. More on that, we'll talk 479 00:27:49,737 --> 00:27:52,217 Speaker 1: to the host of Counterculture on the Epic Times, Danielle 480 00:27:52,257 --> 00:27:54,297 Speaker 1: de sus A Guilt.

They're 498 00:28:52,017 --> 00:28:55,897 Speaker 1: saying that the pump issues are exclusively the fault of 499 00:28:56,017 --> 00:28:59,657 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, as we use as Energy Secretary Jennifer Graholm 500 00:28:59,697 --> 00:29:02,617 Speaker 1: called claims that drilling would ease the growing burden on 501 00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:07,177 Speaker 1: American households BS watch. I mean, there are some here 502 00:29:07,897 --> 00:29:13,497 Speaker 1: or maybe at least lobbyist or Beltway politicians, who seem 503 00:29:13,577 --> 00:29:16,657 Speaker 1: to think that this is the time to recycle old 504 00:29:16,777 --> 00:29:21,137 Speaker 1: talking points. You know this. I mean, people are arguing 505 00:29:21,217 --> 00:29:23,497 Speaker 1: that if a pipeline that wouldn't have even been in 506 00:29:23,577 --> 00:29:26,617 Speaker 1: operation by now we're still under construction, the situation with 507 00:29:26,657 --> 00:29:29,977 Speaker 1: today's oil prices would be different, or that President Biden's 508 00:29:30,057 --> 00:29:34,817 Speaker 1: policies have decreased production when we're actually at record levels 509 00:29:34,857 --> 00:29:37,857 Speaker 1: of natural gas and LNG and will be at record 510 00:29:37,977 --> 00:29:43,577 Speaker 1: levels of oil production hopefully by next year. We all 511 00:29:43,617 --> 00:29:50,497 Speaker 1: know that that is the same old dc BS. Is 512 00:29:50,817 --> 00:29:52,177 Speaker 1: that a good thing, by the way, or a bad thing? 513 00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:55,057 Speaker 1: To Jennifer Grantall and the Energy Secretary that we assuming 514 00:29:55,057 --> 00:29:57,297 Speaker 1: what you're saying is even true. It's interesting, isn't it. 515 00:29:57,457 --> 00:30:00,217 Speaker 1: They can't even tell you. The Biden administration has pushed 516 00:30:00,217 --> 00:30:02,937 Speaker 1: its green energy policy into overdrive, as we all know, 517 00:30:03,057 --> 00:30:07,057 Speaker 1: because apparently it believes transitioning the entire economy from fossil 518 00:30:07,097 --> 00:30:11,217 Speaker 1: fuels to solar panels and windmills that's the real solution. Yeah, join, 519 00:30:11,257 --> 00:30:14,017 Speaker 1: I mean now to discuss as the host of counterculture 520 00:30:14,017 --> 00:30:17,537 Speaker 1: on the Epic Time is Danielle just choose a gil Danielle, 521 00:30:17,577 --> 00:30:22,497 Speaker 1: thanks so much, thanks for being here. So what's going 522 00:30:22,537 --> 00:30:24,977 Speaker 1: on here? It feels like, on the one hand, they 523 00:30:25,057 --> 00:30:26,777 Speaker 1: tell us that they're going to save the world with 524 00:30:26,777 --> 00:30:30,377 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal and cutting back on leases on 525 00:30:30,457 --> 00:30:33,697 Speaker 1: federal land, offshore drilling, cancer with the castone XL pipeline. 526 00:30:33,737 --> 00:30:35,297 Speaker 1: They do all this stuff and they say, hey, man, 527 00:30:35,897 --> 00:30:38,057 Speaker 1: we don't have any problem with fossil fuels. Is great, 528 00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:39,937 Speaker 1: right now, it feels like it can't be both of 529 00:30:39,937 --> 00:30:44,817 Speaker 1: these things. Yeah, well, she mentioned recycling old talking points, 530 00:30:44,817 --> 00:30:46,417 Speaker 1: and I think they're the ones who are doing that. 531 00:30:46,497 --> 00:30:49,137 Speaker 1: They're basically the ones who are saying, let's blame Putin 532 00:30:49,217 --> 00:30:52,577 Speaker 1: for everything. Let's act like inflation is Putin's fault, even 533 00:30:52,617 --> 00:30:56,657 Speaker 1: though recently they were experiencing this way before everything happened 534 00:30:56,657 --> 00:30:58,657 Speaker 1: with this in Ukraine. They're going to blame the gas 535 00:30:58,657 --> 00:31:01,737 Speaker 1: prices on Putin basically everything that they can possible because 536 00:31:01,777 --> 00:31:03,737 Speaker 1: they know how much they're going to be struggling in 537 00:31:03,777 --> 00:31:05,937 Speaker 1: the midterms. But I think that when it comes to this, 538 00:31:06,017 --> 00:31:08,137 Speaker 1: we actually see that this is all Biden's fault because 539 00:31:08,177 --> 00:31:11,817 Speaker 1: he's the one who's chosen to open the North two pipeline. 540 00:31:11,857 --> 00:31:14,417 Speaker 1: He's the one who's choosing to have us get oil 541 00:31:14,417 --> 00:31:17,617 Speaker 1: and gas from Iran or Venezuela when he's not allowing 542 00:31:17,697 --> 00:31:20,537 Speaker 1: us to have the Keystone XL pipeline open here. So 543 00:31:20,577 --> 00:31:23,057 Speaker 1: he's not against oil and gas. He's only against American 544 00:31:23,137 --> 00:31:26,657 Speaker 1: oil and gas. Here is jen Psaki by the way, 545 00:31:26,697 --> 00:31:28,257 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things we've heard a lot 546 00:31:28,657 --> 00:31:34,017 Speaker 1: Danielle is shifting explanations for why one inflation is happening, 547 00:31:34,017 --> 00:31:37,097 Speaker 1: and now, of course also why gas prices are at 548 00:31:37,137 --> 00:31:39,377 Speaker 1: an all time high right now into the Bide administration. 549 00:31:39,497 --> 00:31:43,577 Speaker 1: And what they'll say about it is it was COVID, 550 00:31:43,977 --> 00:31:49,857 Speaker 1: it's Putin's fault, or originally it was temporary. Jensaki was 551 00:31:49,897 --> 00:31:52,177 Speaker 1: trying that one today again. So I mean, I guess 552 00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:55,217 Speaker 1: life is also temporary. But anyway, here's what she says 553 00:31:55,617 --> 00:31:58,617 Speaker 1: regular basis. But in terms of prices going up, we 554 00:31:58,697 --> 00:32:02,017 Speaker 1: do anticipate the gas prices and energy prices will go up. 555 00:32:02,057 --> 00:32:05,017 Speaker 1: That is something that the President has conveyed very clearly 556 00:32:05,057 --> 00:32:07,537 Speaker 1: to the American public. We also believe it will be 557 00:32:07,697 --> 00:32:13,177 Speaker 1: temporary and not long lasting. I mean, what does that even? Yeah, 558 00:32:13,737 --> 00:32:16,057 Speaker 1: prices go up, they come down. If the price days 559 00:32:16,097 --> 00:32:18,217 Speaker 1: high for six to twelve, eighteen months, that's going to 560 00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:21,617 Speaker 1: hurt a lot of people. Yeah, I mean it is temporary. 561 00:32:21,617 --> 00:32:23,337 Speaker 1: It's going to be as long as the Democrats are 562 00:32:23,417 --> 00:32:25,697 Speaker 1: in office. That's how long Invlation's going to last. That's 563 00:32:25,697 --> 00:32:27,377 Speaker 1: how long all of this is going to keep going on. 564 00:32:27,617 --> 00:32:29,697 Speaker 1: And just because she's telling us ahead of time, hey 565 00:32:29,897 --> 00:32:32,337 Speaker 1: this is going to happen, well we see it's already happening. 566 00:32:32,337 --> 00:32:34,577 Speaker 1: That doesn't, you know, give them any kind of good 567 00:32:34,577 --> 00:32:36,737 Speaker 1: faith backing out of this. But of course they're going 568 00:32:36,777 --> 00:32:39,977 Speaker 1: to try to distance themselves from everything that they've caused. 569 00:32:40,137 --> 00:32:42,657 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I think doctor Fauci has disappeared. 570 00:32:42,697 --> 00:32:45,737 Speaker 1: They realize, whoa, people don't like the bat hole, you know, 571 00:32:45,937 --> 00:32:48,737 Speaker 1: all the COVID crackdowns. They don't like everything going on 572 00:32:48,857 --> 00:32:50,777 Speaker 1: at the gas pumps. So they're just trying to distance 573 00:32:50,817 --> 00:32:54,017 Speaker 1: themselves from it. Basically create these other bad actors as 574 00:32:54,017 --> 00:32:56,137 Speaker 1: if they're the people to blame. Who else can they 575 00:32:56,137 --> 00:32:59,537 Speaker 1: blame if not themselves? I mentioned this by the way, 576 00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:03,017 Speaker 1: They really are specifically trying to just blame this all 577 00:33:03,097 --> 00:33:05,057 Speaker 1: on food. Look that the war in Ukraine clearly has 578 00:33:05,057 --> 00:33:10,057 Speaker 1: had a recent effect on prices and and gas prices 579 00:33:10,097 --> 00:33:13,497 Speaker 1: typically prices generally too, but it was going on a 580 00:33:13,537 --> 00:33:15,337 Speaker 1: lot longer than that. It's kind of funny to see 581 00:33:15,377 --> 00:33:19,417 Speaker 1: Jensaki just go, yeah, high inflation, it's Putent's fault. Watch 582 00:33:19,457 --> 00:33:22,337 Speaker 1: this one. So this is temporary. You've noted before that 583 00:33:22,377 --> 00:33:24,377 Speaker 1: inflation is going to wane or is expected to wane 584 00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:26,417 Speaker 1: by the end of the year. Is that still you're 585 00:33:26,457 --> 00:33:30,337 Speaker 1: believing these that continues to be the projection of the 586 00:33:30,337 --> 00:33:33,777 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve of outside economists and we really rely on 587 00:33:33,857 --> 00:33:36,897 Speaker 1: them for their projections. But there is also no question 588 00:33:37,377 --> 00:33:40,257 Speaker 1: that inflation may be higher for the next few months 589 00:33:40,257 --> 00:33:43,097 Speaker 1: than it would have been without the Russia, without President 590 00:33:43,097 --> 00:33:46,537 Speaker 1: Putin and Russia's further invasion into Ukraine, particularly due to 591 00:33:46,977 --> 00:33:50,017 Speaker 1: higher energy prices. And obviously they will watch that and 592 00:33:50,057 --> 00:33:52,777 Speaker 1: we are watching that, but that is definitely having an impact. 593 00:33:54,177 --> 00:33:57,497 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's fascinating to watch all 594 00:33:57,537 --> 00:34:01,937 Speaker 1: the excuses and really no answers from Jensaki, from Biden, 595 00:34:01,937 --> 00:34:05,537 Speaker 1: from this whole White House, no answers at all. I 596 00:34:05,537 --> 00:34:07,817 Speaker 1: think that's why they've just they just have nothing to 597 00:34:07,857 --> 00:34:10,777 Speaker 1: really run on this time. I think that whoever is next, 598 00:34:10,777 --> 00:34:13,217 Speaker 1: whoever is going to try to run in twenty twenty 599 00:34:13,257 --> 00:34:15,097 Speaker 1: four on their side, is going to have to either say, 600 00:34:15,697 --> 00:34:17,937 Speaker 1: pay our support Biden's policies. You know, I'm kind of 601 00:34:17,937 --> 00:34:20,577 Speaker 1: continuing the great things Biden did. Of course that's not 602 00:34:20,617 --> 00:34:22,217 Speaker 1: going to work, or they're going to have to pivot 603 00:34:22,217 --> 00:34:24,177 Speaker 1: and say, you know, this is horrible, we have to 604 00:34:24,217 --> 00:34:26,457 Speaker 1: come up with something new. But in the meantime, there's 605 00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:29,417 Speaker 1: just going to be this vacuum, this emptiness where there's 606 00:34:29,417 --> 00:34:31,337 Speaker 1: really no messaging. I mean, if you listen to Jen 607 00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:34,257 Speaker 1: Saki half the time, like we said, she's either blaming 608 00:34:34,337 --> 00:34:37,097 Speaker 1: someone or she isn't even offering a real explanation. She's 609 00:34:37,137 --> 00:34:38,897 Speaker 1: just saying, this is having an impact. Well, we all 610 00:34:38,937 --> 00:34:41,417 Speaker 1: know that, we all know that what Russia's doing in 611 00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:43,977 Speaker 1: Ukraine is having an impact, but it doesn't solve anything. 612 00:34:44,097 --> 00:34:45,937 Speaker 1: So I would ask her, well, what are you doing 613 00:34:45,977 --> 00:34:49,297 Speaker 1: to actually solve this problem? As far as the gas crisis. 614 00:34:49,817 --> 00:34:53,297 Speaker 1: Jennifer Granholm, the Energy Secretary, earlier on As we Know, 615 00:34:53,497 --> 00:34:56,257 Speaker 1: said that the talking points are being recycled. One big 616 00:34:56,297 --> 00:35:00,457 Speaker 1: talking point from the Biden administration has been wages are rising, 617 00:35:00,457 --> 00:35:02,537 Speaker 1: That's what they've been saying. Meanwhile, when we actually look 618 00:35:02,537 --> 00:35:05,937 Speaker 1: at this, inflation, which is almost eight percent now is 619 00:35:06,017 --> 00:35:09,457 Speaker 1: outstripping wage growth for the last twelve months, you look, 620 00:35:09,457 --> 00:35:11,897 Speaker 1: wages are up five percent. That would normally be a 621 00:35:11,937 --> 00:35:15,177 Speaker 1: great thing, except inflations up almost eight percent. So even 622 00:35:15,257 --> 00:35:19,857 Speaker 1: people who have gotten an increase in their wages, everybody, 623 00:35:19,897 --> 00:35:24,777 Speaker 1: everybody is suffering a three percent cut in the actual 624 00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:28,497 Speaker 1: in the actual buying power that they have, and is 625 00:35:28,537 --> 00:35:33,697 Speaker 1: also suffering through higher prices all over the place. Of course, 626 00:35:33,737 --> 00:35:35,897 Speaker 1: and this is actually so much worse than I think 627 00:35:35,937 --> 00:35:38,577 Speaker 1: if we had had a Bernie Sanders or a socialist 628 00:35:38,577 --> 00:35:40,937 Speaker 1: because at least with their arguments, I mean, it's horrible. 629 00:35:40,937 --> 00:35:43,177 Speaker 1: You would think that someone would get something in return, 630 00:35:43,497 --> 00:35:45,817 Speaker 1: perhaps if you're paying more taxes or whatever it is. 631 00:35:45,857 --> 00:35:49,417 Speaker 1: But in this situation, people aren't making enough money to 632 00:35:49,417 --> 00:35:52,137 Speaker 1: outweigh this inflation, so their lives are actually just worse off. 633 00:35:52,177 --> 00:35:53,857 Speaker 1: Anything that they could have bought last year is now 634 00:35:53,897 --> 00:35:56,577 Speaker 1: going to be more expensive. The same dollar that someone 635 00:35:56,617 --> 00:35:58,417 Speaker 1: has put in their bank account to save is now 636 00:35:58,457 --> 00:36:01,257 Speaker 1: worthless if they were to use it this year. So 637 00:36:01,377 --> 00:36:02,737 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people are going to 638 00:36:02,777 --> 00:36:05,097 Speaker 1: be so hurt by the end of this whole Biden administration. 639 00:36:05,137 --> 00:36:07,537 Speaker 1: I just I couldn't even imagine what the next few 640 00:36:07,577 --> 00:36:09,377 Speaker 1: years are going to be like as long as Biden, 641 00:36:09,457 --> 00:36:13,097 Speaker 1: Harris or whoever is in office until twenty twenty four. 642 00:36:13,177 --> 00:36:15,257 Speaker 1: But I just really hope that they do not take 643 00:36:16,177 --> 00:36:18,817 Speaker 1: drastic action, because I think anything that they do they 644 00:36:18,817 --> 00:36:21,537 Speaker 1: pretty much bungle, and just like how they did in Afghanistan. 645 00:36:21,657 --> 00:36:25,057 Speaker 1: So I just really look forward to twenty twenty four 646 00:36:26,617 --> 00:36:29,217 Speaker 1: Yellen telling everybody, by the way, Americans are in good 647 00:36:29,217 --> 00:36:33,817 Speaker 1: financial shape. Watching this point really protected most Americans from 648 00:36:34,217 --> 00:36:40,257 Speaker 1: severe financial christ consequences of the pandemic, so that if 649 00:36:40,257 --> 00:36:47,377 Speaker 1: you're buying large in good financial shape, sixty four Americans 650 00:36:47,377 --> 00:36:51,577 Speaker 1: live paycheck to paycheck. Danielle, Yeah, they're not in good 651 00:36:51,617 --> 00:36:54,057 Speaker 1: financial shape. And I think that that just shows the 652 00:36:54,137 --> 00:36:57,257 Speaker 1: great disconnect between a lot of American elites and the 653 00:36:57,297 --> 00:36:59,257 Speaker 1: American worker. And I think this is such a huge 654 00:36:59,297 --> 00:37:01,337 Speaker 1: contrast with when we had Trump and office who really 655 00:37:01,377 --> 00:37:04,617 Speaker 1: spoke on behalf of the you know, the regular American family. 656 00:37:04,657 --> 00:37:07,497 Speaker 1: And I think that seeing things from the perspective of 657 00:37:07,537 --> 00:37:10,337 Speaker 1: someone who's just living their lives is what these politics 658 00:37:10,337 --> 00:37:12,257 Speaker 1: need to start doing. But they're never going to do 659 00:37:12,297 --> 00:37:14,857 Speaker 1: that because I mean Biden, he probably only listens to 660 00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:17,057 Speaker 1: his advisors who tell him everything to say, and jen 661 00:37:17,097 --> 00:37:20,177 Speaker 1: Saki is the expert out avoiding questions and never circling 662 00:37:20,177 --> 00:37:23,937 Speaker 1: back to any question. Danyelle, thanks for your perspective. Good 663 00:37:23,937 --> 00:37:28,697 Speaker 1: to see it. Thank you. The White House is pushing 664 00:37:28,737 --> 00:37:31,897 Speaker 1: Americans to buy electric cars, but does Joe Muscle Calar 665 00:37:31,977 --> 00:37:36,097 Speaker 1: Biden actually own one. Will have video of Jensaki struggling 666 00:37:36,097 --> 00:37:37,857 Speaker 1: to answer that one and quick hits stay with us. 667 00:37:44,297 --> 00:37:47,377 Speaker 1: Jensaki can't answer whether or not Joe Biden practices what 668 00:37:47,417 --> 00:37:50,457 Speaker 1: he preaches, and Vice President Kamala Harris has an awkward 669 00:37:50,577 --> 00:37:53,577 Speaker 1: moment when she's asked about the Ukrainian refugee crisis on 670 00:37:53,737 --> 00:37:57,577 Speaker 1: Paul for the course those stories in tonight's Quick Hits. 671 00:37:58,897 --> 00:38:04,697 Speaker 1: So look, Kamala Harris is not good at her job. 672 00:38:05,337 --> 00:38:09,017 Speaker 1: Not surprising, but not very good at this. And she 673 00:38:09,137 --> 00:38:11,377 Speaker 1: has a laugh that people have pointed out. And this 674 00:38:11,417 --> 00:38:14,697 Speaker 1: may sound superficial, but you know, they're politicians and we're 675 00:38:14,737 --> 00:38:17,017 Speaker 1: going to talk about them. She has a laugh that 676 00:38:17,057 --> 00:38:20,697 Speaker 1: people find often unsettling because it's kind of awkward the 677 00:38:20,697 --> 00:38:24,817 Speaker 1: way she does it well. She's asked about the Ukrainian 678 00:38:24,937 --> 00:38:30,297 Speaker 1: refugee crisis, which is a situation where people are fleeing warfare. 679 00:38:30,617 --> 00:38:34,577 Speaker 1: Some of them have lost homes, lost family members. They're terrified, 680 00:38:35,057 --> 00:38:36,817 Speaker 1: they don't know what the future holds for them. They 681 00:38:36,897 --> 00:38:39,777 Speaker 1: may have lost everything in a sense except their lives. 682 00:38:39,937 --> 00:38:43,457 Speaker 1: Fortunately they're still alive, but other than that, they've left 683 00:38:43,457 --> 00:38:47,217 Speaker 1: it all behind. And the world is watching people like 684 00:38:47,377 --> 00:38:49,897 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris in a moment like this, and here's how 685 00:38:49,977 --> 00:38:53,257 Speaker 1: she responds. And to ask you about some reporting that 686 00:38:53,337 --> 00:38:56,377 Speaker 1: my colleague here in Poland noticed He recently spoke with 687 00:38:56,457 --> 00:38:59,337 Speaker 1: the mayor of the largest border town who told him 688 00:38:59,377 --> 00:39:02,697 Speaker 1: that the refugee system is essentially not set up for this, 689 00:39:02,777 --> 00:39:05,617 Speaker 1: that it will collapse. It's an improvised system that can 690 00:39:05,657 --> 00:39:08,417 Speaker 1: work for maybe two weeks, but not indefinitely. And I'm 691 00:39:08,417 --> 00:39:10,457 Speaker 1: wondering what the United States is going to do more 692 00:39:10,457 --> 00:39:14,177 Speaker 1: specifically to set up a permanent infrastructure. And relatedly, is 693 00:39:14,217 --> 00:39:17,657 Speaker 1: the United States willing to make a specific allocation for 694 00:39:17,817 --> 00:39:22,177 Speaker 1: Ukrainian refugees? And for President Judah, I wanted to know 695 00:39:22,337 --> 00:39:25,337 Speaker 1: if you think and if you asked the United States 696 00:39:25,417 --> 00:39:35,177 Speaker 1: to specifically accept more refugees. Okay, a friend in need 697 00:39:35,297 --> 00:39:48,577 Speaker 1: is a friend indeed. Okay, so this time now look 698 00:39:48,577 --> 00:39:50,497 Speaker 1: for a moment there there was the nervous laughter that 699 00:39:50,497 --> 00:39:55,177 Speaker 1: that even the other gentleman there had, But then she 700 00:39:55,257 --> 00:39:57,617 Speaker 1: really kind of leaned into it. It's just just feels 701 00:39:57,657 --> 00:40:00,177 Speaker 1: tone deaf. That's all feels tone deaf, which I think 702 00:40:00,177 --> 00:40:03,657 Speaker 1: this White House suffers from on a regular basis. Speaking 703 00:40:03,697 --> 00:40:07,217 Speaker 1: of tone deaf, let them drive Tesla's seems to be 704 00:40:07,257 --> 00:40:10,497 Speaker 1: the rallying cry of the Democrat apparatus the these days 705 00:40:10,537 --> 00:40:12,817 Speaker 1: when cash prices are so high, you know, put a 706 00:40:12,857 --> 00:40:16,417 Speaker 1: solar panel on your house, peasant. That's pretty much their attitude. 707 00:40:16,617 --> 00:40:19,257 Speaker 1: Some people had enough of that, and so they're asking 708 00:40:19,337 --> 00:40:21,697 Speaker 1: Jen Saki, will hold on a second, does Joe Biden 709 00:40:22,177 --> 00:40:24,057 Speaker 1: even own electric cars? You're just talking about how great 710 00:40:24,097 --> 00:40:26,217 Speaker 1: electric cars are, and there's this big electric power grid 711 00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:27,817 Speaker 1: push from the Libs and they want to do all 712 00:40:27,817 --> 00:40:30,297 Speaker 1: this stuff. Here's Saki trying to answer that one. You 713 00:40:30,297 --> 00:40:33,017 Speaker 1: guys are pushing electric vehicles today. This is a president 714 00:40:33,017 --> 00:40:36,257 Speaker 1: who always talks about the power of our example, does 715 00:40:36,297 --> 00:40:39,097 Speaker 1: he own an electric vehicle? Presidents of the United States 716 00:40:39,137 --> 00:40:41,697 Speaker 1: don't do a lot of driving. He posted videos where 717 00:40:41,697 --> 00:40:43,777 Speaker 1: he's reving the engine of his Corvette and Will Linton 718 00:40:43,857 --> 00:40:47,177 Speaker 1: heals cars and he also has driven electric vehicles. As 719 00:40:47,217 --> 00:40:49,457 Speaker 1: presidents is to give a model to the rest of 720 00:40:49,497 --> 00:40:53,417 Speaker 1: the country. I think the president's record on this is clear. 721 00:40:53,497 --> 00:40:56,457 Speaker 1: Peter Presidence of the United States current and when they 722 00:40:56,497 --> 00:41:00,737 Speaker 1: are no longer typically or not doing a lot of driving. Yeah, 723 00:41:00,777 --> 00:41:02,737 Speaker 1: but you see, he does like he owns houses even 724 00:41:02,777 --> 00:41:05,777 Speaker 1: though he lives in the White House, he owns cars 725 00:41:05,817 --> 00:41:07,777 Speaker 1: even though he's the president. Does he own electric about 726 00:41:07,777 --> 00:41:09,497 Speaker 1: the answers know, of course, but she doesn't want to 727 00:41:09,497 --> 00:41:12,537 Speaker 1: answer it because you know that would that's no fun. 728 00:41:12,937 --> 00:41:15,497 Speaker 1: It's no fun to get content. Great work by by 729 00:41:15,857 --> 00:41:20,137 Speaker 1: Peter Doocey. They're doing good stuff. CNBC's Rick Santelli, the 730 00:41:20,177 --> 00:41:22,977 Speaker 1: man who launched the tea Party. People forget that it 731 00:41:23,057 --> 00:41:24,857 Speaker 1: was Rick Santelly who went on a rant on the 732 00:41:24,857 --> 00:41:28,257 Speaker 1: floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and boom Tea Party 733 00:41:28,297 --> 00:41:31,977 Speaker 1: twenty ten CMCs. Rick Santelli has gone off again, this 734 00:41:32,097 --> 00:41:36,497 Speaker 1: time about Biden's excuses for inflation. Watch this one, and 735 00:41:36,657 --> 00:41:39,177 Speaker 1: of course this inflation news is going to be tough 736 00:41:39,177 --> 00:41:43,777 Speaker 1: for the administration. Nothing, Joe, nothing has been more politicized 737 00:41:44,017 --> 00:41:47,697 Speaker 1: than inflation. Just let's hearken back to all the things 738 00:41:47,697 --> 00:41:52,337 Speaker 1: we've been through. First it was transitory, then inflation is good, 739 00:41:52,577 --> 00:41:55,337 Speaker 1: Then we went to corporate greed. Now we're at Putin. 740 00:41:56,617 --> 00:41:59,577 Speaker 1: He's right. They just keep changing the storyline because otherwise 741 00:41:59,577 --> 00:42:03,737 Speaker 1: it would be why are you so incompetent, Biden regime? 742 00:42:03,777 --> 00:42:07,697 Speaker 1: Why are you so bad at this being president thing? 743 00:42:08,657 --> 00:42:12,217 Speaker 1: I think that's speaks for itself at some level. And 744 00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:15,417 Speaker 1: then there's this a guy in Russia shows off his 745 00:42:15,497 --> 00:42:19,857 Speaker 1: refrigerator full of McDonald's ahead of the restaurant closures. So 746 00:42:20,777 --> 00:42:22,737 Speaker 1: was this just guys because he loves McDonald's so much, 747 00:42:22,777 --> 00:42:24,377 Speaker 1: How did this make it into quick hit? It's kind 748 00:42:24,377 --> 00:42:29,497 Speaker 1: of curious. It seems like, what just guy loves McDonald's 749 00:42:29,497 --> 00:42:33,657 Speaker 1: that much, that's what this is. Wow, And apparently he's 750 00:42:33,697 --> 00:42:35,937 Speaker 1: just stacking himself up there with as much McDonald's as 751 00:42:35,937 --> 00:42:39,897 Speaker 1: he can get. You know, personally, I'm I'm more of 752 00:42:39,937 --> 00:42:41,617 Speaker 1: an in and out guy. I'm just gonna say, but 753 00:42:41,897 --> 00:42:45,777 Speaker 1: it is what it is that I'm rapping. Thanks everybody 754 00:42:45,817 --> 00:42:47,977 Speaker 1: for hanging here with us. Good to see you back tomorrow. 755 00:42:48,217 --> 00:42:50,097 Speaker 1: That's it.
