1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Crude is just sort above one hundred and thirty dollars 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: a barrel. The price of oil surged, putting pressure on 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: gasoline prices and inflation West Texas sentiment. At crude futures, 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: the US benchmark rose to one hundred and thirty dollars 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: and fifty cents of barrel at one point in the 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: last several hours. That is the highest price since nineteen 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: eighty three. Yeah, adjusted for inflation compared to what it 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: was in nineteen eighty three, when it hit for a 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: moment one hundred and forty three dollars a barrel. In 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, for example, that is the highest 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: I should say, and adjust for inflation. However, that would 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: have been a one hundred and eighty six dollars a 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: barrel crude futures, the global benchmark was trading it as 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: high as one hundred and thirty nine on Sunday evening 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: has come back down a little bit to one twenty 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: six a barrel. Why is this happening? Because we are 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: not energy independent. We're refusing to be energy independent. This 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: also is Russia forces are preparing to take Ukrainians capital. 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. I'll say it again, if you're 20 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: posting the Ukrainian flag on social media like you're doing something, 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: and you're boycotting Russian vodka like you're doing something, but 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: you're still going to vote for these Democrats that are 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: allowing for these policies to happen, and you're still going 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: to vote for these Democrats, and you still won't support 25 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: oil production in the United States of America, please kindly 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: just shut the hell up, because you are nothing but 27 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: a ridiculous virtue signaling phony. There are so many liberals 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: out there right now that are like, oh, I stand 29 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: with Ukraine. If if you're not in favor of supporting 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: us in this country, if you're not in favor of 31 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: supporting oil production in this country to take away money 32 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: from Russia, if you're not in support of helping America 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: take on Russia. And you sit there and you're like, oh, well, 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: I've got you know this is And again, if you 35 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump, good for you. You're standing with 36 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: the people of Ukraine. Have you voted for this guy 37 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: right now? You're supporting this Thousands of Ukrainian children are 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: sleeping and makeshift shelters are walking twenty thirty forty fifty 39 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: sixty seventy miles. And why did this happen. It's pretty 40 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: simple because eighty one million low information liberal voters in 41 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: America didn't like a man's tweets. If that offends you, 42 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't care. And do not be fooled by the media. 43 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: Do not be fooled by the world leaders who are 44 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: acting like they're doing something right now by seizing yachts 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: and taking assets or freezing assets of oligarchs. It's not 46 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: doing anything to stop Vladimir Putin. You want to stop 47 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, you stop buying foreign oil. You stop buying 48 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: that oil from Russia. For the first time since two 49 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Remember who was the present then it 50 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: was Yeah, you guessed it, Barack Obama. Gas prices have 51 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: hit four hours a gallon nationwide. They're gonna go up 52 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: this week, will be close to hitting five dollars a 53 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: gallon nationwide. You want to know who did that? The 54 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: White House? The White House did that. Their policies have 55 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: allowed for Vladimir Putin to continue moving forward. Now, Biden 56 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: energy policy is tanking America. We know that as a 57 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: national gas price of gas has reached an average four 58 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: hours agallon for the first time since so eight, and 59 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: he's still refusing to open the Keystone pipeline. California is 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: now hitting five hours and twenty eight cents a gallon. 61 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Bunch of liberals out there, you kind of deserve it. 62 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: You voted for this guy. This is what you get 63 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: when you say, oh, I'm not voting for somebody because 64 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't like his tweets. You're welcome you did this. 65 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: This morning, the national average price for a gallon of 66 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: gasoline has skyrocketed to the highest national level in fourteen years. 67 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: Had a forty jump per gallon since last week, and 68 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: they're expecting this week it can be as high as 69 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: seventy five cents in a week, fifty seven cent increase 70 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: from just a month ago. On March the sixth of 71 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: last year. To put it in perspective for you, price 72 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: has averaged two hours and seventy six cents per gallon nationally. 73 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: The national average is the highest has been since July 74 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: of eight. That month, gas prices averages max at at 75 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: four eleven, which was an all time record and it 76 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: was under Obama. States in the West coast and the 77 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: Northeast are seeing the highest prices in the country. Triple 78 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: A penn California's average gas price at five dollars and 79 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: twenty eight cents a gallon right now, while neighboring Liberals 80 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: states including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, all had average prices of 81 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: over four forty a gallon, highest ever on record. Additionally, 82 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: in Northeast States, another liberal state Maryland Delaware up through Maine, 83 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: their averages have exceeded well over four hours a gallon 84 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: as well. According to Triple A GOP representive Mike Rodgers Alabama, 85 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, so 86 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: that prices have jumped because of the Russian invasion Ukraine. 87 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: The fact is, and this is true of all of 88 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: our listeners, he said on a local news talk station, saying, quote, 89 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: our gas prices are going up because of what's happening Ukraine, 90 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: because of the disruptive nature it has had on the 91 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: energy sector period. He went on to call for reopening 92 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline so Americans can begin producing its 93 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: own oil again. He said, quote, and when we stop 94 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: buying Russian oil, it will go up even more. It 95 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: is going to be painful, but we should not be 96 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: giving money to Russia to kill Ukrainians in this illegal war. 97 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: What we need to be doing is reopening drilling on 98 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: federal lands, reopening the XL pipeline that Biden stopped when 99 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: he agreed to open the North Stream two pipeline from Russia. 100 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of resources in this country. We 101 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: can dramatically increase our production natural gas and oil and 102 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: be self sustaining. But he's still not willing to do that, 103 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: so not willing to have the strength to tell the 104 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: environmental climate change lobbyists that we've got to do this 105 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: because he's on the cut and they will cut off 106 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: his power. When he took the presidency, he made this 107 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: deal and now we're paying a price for it. And 108 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: also all the things that are about to happen, as 109 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: far as the highest energy prices can be remedied here 110 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: at home. If he'll just have the will and the 111 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: leadership to make the decisions to make this happen, he 112 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: could do it, but he's not. Rogers and others are 113 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: calling on Biden to open up domestical production. The Biden 114 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: administration has not been keen on that solution. While peering 115 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: on MSNBC's Eleventh Hour, the Secretary of Transportation. Transportation Secretary 116 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete said opening the pipeline would be galloping after 117 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: quote permanent solutions to immediate short term problems. So apparently 118 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: they don't want to actually fix any of these problems. 119 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: They want you to suffer. Now, I want you to 120 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: really think about where we are. We're buying oil twenty 121 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: five million or more today alone from Vladimir Putin, while 122 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is slaughtering the people in Ukraine. We are 123 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: funding this war. This president is funding this war. We 124 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: could stop funding this war if we would just wake 125 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: up and say no more. If the President would say, 126 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: we've got to start drilling here, We've got to open 127 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: up the Keystone pipeline, if he would just say this 128 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: is clearly a national security issue, which it clearly is 129 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: a national security issue. We all know it is, but 130 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: he is refusing to change it because he is beholden 131 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: to the hardcore leftist activists and the global warming community. 132 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: There's a very good chance because the West hasn't gotten 133 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: our act together, NATO has not gotten their act together, 134 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: the UN has not gotten their act together. The Vladimir 135 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: Putin will not stop in Ukraine. He will go further. 136 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: Ukrainian parliament member was warning the world all of that 137 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: this morning. Take a listens off. And one of the 138 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: things that's held up the delivery of planes to Ukraine 139 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: is that NATO clearly is concerned about this war spreading 140 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: beyond Ukraine's border. In interviews, you've said that's already going 141 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: to happen, that NATO shouldn't fool itself, that this can 142 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: be contained to the country, the territorial country of Ukraine. 143 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: Can you explain why you think NATO might be misreading 144 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: Russia here, Well, let's look at it this way. Putin 145 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: already said that he doesn't like Poland and Hungary nature. 146 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: We do remember that weeks leading to the war, he 147 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: was making statements that he doesn't just want Ukraine to 148 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: claim it's neutrality. Though even that is a lie because 149 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: he attacked us in two fourteen when we were fision 150 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: in neutral state. So this is just a Borgus argument 151 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: that he is making up. But at the same time, 152 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: he was also saying that he wants nature to return 153 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: to its borders prior to twenty years before. That means 154 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: that he wants voland out of nature, that he wants 155 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: hunger out of nature, that he wants the Baltic states 156 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: out of nature, and that is why those countries are 157 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: now extremely concerned and are so supportive of Ukraine's efforts 158 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: to fight back against that, because, let's imagine, worst case scenario, 159 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: he devastates the whole land of Ukraine, he kills everyone 160 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: in here, and he gets close to eastern border of Poland. 161 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: We have to understand that he will go in there. 162 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: He is crazy enough to do that. So what we're 163 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: asking to do now is just help us fight him 164 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: on our territory. We do already have a war here. 165 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: We are just asking to avoid many casualties that can 166 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: proceed further because he will not stop. There is nothing 167 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: to stop him. Is completely out of his mind. He 168 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: has nothing left to that is human in him, and 169 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: he will go further if he has not stopped here. Yeah, 170 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: I go back to what I was saying back at Seapack, 171 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: and I said this on the radio. I believe that 172 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is genuinely acting off a different timeline. The 173 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: way that he is acting right now is not normal. 174 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: As one you know person put it, Michael mcfoley said, 175 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: nobody supports this war. This war is stupid. Yet we're 176 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: sitting back and we're not doing a whole lot right now. 177 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in touch with lots of Russians through intermediaries, 178 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Lemier said, and he said, they all say this 179 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: is stupid. All the majority of Russian people, they do 180 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: not want this. I've talked to several people, by the way, 181 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: over the weekend in Russia. They're saying the same thing 182 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: to me, like the Russian people are not in favor 183 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: of what's happening right now. This is Vladimir Putin. This 184 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: is not normal. They don't understand this. And this goes 185 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: back to what I said, it's epact. There's something different 186 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: about Vladimir Putin right now. I don't know if it's 187 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: a medical condition that's changed his timeline in life, but 188 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: this is not how Vladimir Putin traditionally operates. This is 189 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: a different timeline and it's a manifest destiny to put 190 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: back the USSR. And I do believe that that Ukrainian 191 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: member of parliament you just heard from is absolutely right 192 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: in what she just said. I don't think he's going 193 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: to stop there, because if he realizes that NATO's not 194 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: going to do anything, I mean, you have Zelensky begging 195 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: to help start, you know, to put up a no 196 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: flies I'm begging the United Nations because they're gonna lose 197 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: their country this week. They are what we're witnessing right 198 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: now from It's going to happen Ukrainian. A Ukrainian member 199 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: of parliament says there has to be a no flies 200 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: one in Ukraine and if there's not, then it's game over. 201 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Listen to what she had to say from Kiev, Kiev, 202 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: I should say this morning saying there's nothing I can 203 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: do to protect myself from the missiles that are coming 204 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: from the air. And she is right. The breaking news 205 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: Russians bombing cities across Ukraine. Ukrainians say that includes evacuation 206 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: roots or civilians. Despite please from Ukrainian President of a 207 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: lot of the Zelenski, the Biden administration has opposed a 208 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: no fly zone because it says that enforcing a no 209 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: fly zone would likely mean a direct military conflict between 210 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: the US and Russia. Joining me now as someone who 211 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: would like to see a no fly zone imposed over Ukraine, 212 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: Kira Ruddick. She is a member of the Ukrainian Parliament 213 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: and the leader of the Golos Party. Kira, thank you 214 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: so much for being with us again. I'm wondering how 215 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: you hear you hear this argument coming from the US, 216 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: coming from NATO countries, they say they enforce this no 217 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: fly zone and then you end up with World War three. 218 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: What do you say to that, Well, I'm saying to 219 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: that that it's an illusion that this war has not 220 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: begun yet. We already see that. The question here is 221 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: is NATO able to protect themselves and able to stop 222 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: Putium or NATO is not able to do that. And 223 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: what we see right now this tentativeness, these questions, attempts 224 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: to not be involved in the conflict. They are just 225 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: showing that Putin can do whatever he wants. Look, thirty 226 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: years ago Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum and we gave 227 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: up our nuclear weapons. We gave them up for the 228 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: security guarantees that US included NATO gave us. And right 229 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: now we when we are asking for the protection, we 230 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: are hearing, oh, we don't want to do to be involved. 231 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: We don't want to be in this conflict. By the way, 232 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: when everybody's obsessed with nuclear you know, pull downs. You 233 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: look at Ukraine, this would not have happened in Ukraine. 234 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: I truly believe that if they had nuclear weapons, they 235 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: gave them up and the world said, oh, if you 236 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: give them up, then we're going to help you. We're 237 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: going to protect you. Right if you give them up, 238 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: we're going to protect you. If you give them up, 239 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: we're going to protect you. I wouldn't give up my 240 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons and trust countries that have presents that change 241 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: every four years. Look at what happened in Afghanistan. I 242 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't trust the United States of America ever again. Because 243 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: you may have a great policy under a guy like 244 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump who would not let this happen, and then 245 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: you get a guy like Joe Biden, you get a 246 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: guy like Barack Obama, you get a Jimmy Carter that's elected, 247 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: and this is what happens. You get what you pay 248 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: for him when you elect a president that is incompetent. 249 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: But the people of Ukraine deserve better than what they're 250 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: getting right now. The country was promised by the world 251 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: that they gave up their nuclear weapons, we would protect them, 252 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: and everything that we have done has been too late, 253 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: too delayed. We should have put the sanctions on putting 254 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: before he invaded. We didn't. We should have given them 255 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: everything they needed militarily before and the airplanes they need 256 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: to protect their airspace because we knew that they were 257 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: going to have air superiority Russia that is over Ukraine. 258 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: We didn't do it. We should have had NATO countries 259 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: and we should have had a conversation given them the 260 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: green light to send in fighter jets to Ukraine to 261 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: protect the no fly zone. We didn't do it. Everything 262 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: this administration has done has been after the fact. Vladimir 263 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: Putin is committing war crimes, and this president still will 264 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: not say that he's committing war crimes. And if you 265 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: think that Vladimir Putin canna stop with Ukraine, you're crazy. 266 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: Anthony blinkoln has come out what I mean, what an 267 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: empty suit Secretary of State. He's now saying that the 268 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: United States has given the green light to NATO countries 269 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: who have wanted to provide fighter jets to Ukraine. By 270 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: the time these fighter get jets get there, it's gonna 271 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: be over folks. This is this is again another example 272 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: of virtue signaling. It's the same stupid thing I see 273 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: in this country right now. All these people you know, 274 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: putting up these pictures on social media with Ukrainian flag 275 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: and there that these same morons that voted for Joe 276 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: Biden to the same idiots that said, oh I don't 277 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: like mean tweets. Now, where did that get us? They're 278 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: the same people that refuse to admit that we need 279 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: to be energy independent and support people like this administration 280 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: when they say things like, wow, we don't want to 281 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: permanent solution this problem with that with gas prices. We 282 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: don't need a permanent solution because a permanent solution would 283 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: take away too much power from places like Venezuela, places 284 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: like Iran, places like Russia. We keep giving money these leaders. 285 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: Biden is begging, Let's be very clear right now, Iran, 286 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Venezuela and Opec for oil rather than producing our own, 287 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: straight up evil and completely intentional. It's also completely incompetent. 288 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: But it is a fact that Biden is begging Iran, 289 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: Venezuela and Opec, the people that hate us the most 290 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: and want to kill us. Okay, the people that want 291 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: to kill us, the people that hate us the most, 292 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: begging for oil. Anthony Blincoln on face the nation listen 293 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: to this. Vladimir Putinas has said that sanctions amount to 294 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: a declaration of war. They are impacting his economy, but 295 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: they're not stopping his military. When will sanctions stop the fight, Margaret? 296 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: The impact of the sanctions is already devastating, which is 297 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: presumably why he said what he said. But at the 298 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: same time, we continue to see President Putin doubling down 299 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: and digging in on this aggression against Ukraine that's continuing. 300 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: I think we have to be prepared, unfortunately tragically, for 301 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: this to go on for some time. NATO has said 302 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: for some time. You hear that it's gonna go on 303 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: for some time. All right, So you guys are admitting 304 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: now that we're going to have one hundred and thirty 305 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: barrel gas. We're gonna keep funding the war against Ukrainians 306 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: by buying oil from Russia directly, which is funding their war, 307 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: and they need more. They don't have enough guns right 308 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: now in Ukraine. We could fix that problem overnight if 309 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: we wanted to. We're not. We're not even giving them targeting, 310 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: which we should be giving the Ukrainian people. I would argue, 311 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: we need to let them know what's happening in their country. 312 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: We could easily give them what they need when it 313 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: comes to targeting. We could give them target coordinates. We 314 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: could tell the people in Ukraine where the Russians are 315 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: at least so they could go kill the Russians. But 316 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: we're not doing that. Either. These are the same Russians 317 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: that had no problem or an entire time Afghanistan Iraq 318 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: helping kill Americans. Do not ever forget that they were 319 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: had no problem. They had no issue giving advice, giving intel, 320 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: giving information to kill American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. 321 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: They have no problem doing that. But we're sitting here 322 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: holding back intel that could help save innocent people's lives 323 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: in Ukraine because we're afraid of Vladimir Putin, because this 324 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: president is they was. This president won't even drill in America. 325 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: We're still buying oil from this guy, subsidizing the slaughtering 326 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: of the people in Ukraine. None of its thirty members 327 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: are willing to set up a no fly zone. President 328 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: Biden has been very clear he has no interest in 329 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: that combat troops. But what more can the United States 330 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: do here? If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member, 331 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green 332 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: light from the US? Or you were afraid that that 333 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: will escalate tension. No, that that gets a green light. 334 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now 335 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: about what we might be able to do to backfill 336 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: their needs if in fact they choose to provide these 337 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What can we do, How 338 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: can we help to make sure that they get something 339 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: to backfill the planes that they're handing over to the Ukrainians. 340 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: We're in very active discussions with them about that. Look, 341 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: I've been in Europe the last couple of days, working closely, 342 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: as always with our allies and partners at NATO, the 343 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: European Union, the G seven countries, and all of us 344 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure 345 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very 346 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: actively under discussion and will be implemented in the coming days, 347 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians 348 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression. 349 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: I love this. We're what two weeks into this war 350 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: and we're now talking about getting them what they need 351 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: to defend themselves. It's almost like they're doing everything you 352 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: can to make sure that the country falls isn't it. 353 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: It's almost like they're doing everything it can to make 354 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: sure that the people fail. I mean, if you really 355 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: listen to what this administration is doing, they're they're they're 356 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: coming up late every single time. It's almost like they're 357 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: coming up late on purpose. Tell me I'm wrong on 358 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: this one. Tell me I'm wrong. Every single thing that 359 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: they just talked about, every single thing they just said, 360 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: every single bit of it seems to be consistent with 361 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: what they've been doing. Now from the very beginning. We'll 362 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: act like we're doing something. Once we know it's too 363 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: late to do it, once we know it'll have no 364 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: impact on what's actually happening on the ground, that's when 365 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: we'll do it. That's when we'll pull the trigger. That's 366 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: when we'll have the converse. That's when we'll talk. Now, 367 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna get them what they need that 368 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: they may not need it anymore because they've been totally 369 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: overtaken as a nation. You know, there's been a scary 370 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: conversation that I've been hearing about which also makes me 371 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: extremely angry, and that is apparently we're trying to figure 372 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: out who we're gonna point if Zelenski's captured or killed. 373 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: Does that sound like we're really backing that guy. Remember, 374 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: Zelenski is not liked by this president. It's very personal. 375 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Zelenski's the guy that backed up Donald Trump on that 376 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: phone call saying there was nothing wrong with that phone call. 377 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: The phone call they impeach the president over, Remember that 378 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: that was Zelenski. Zelenski's a guy that was looking at 379 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: a corruption of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. If you 380 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: if you think that Joe Biden has really wanted to 381 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: back up Zelenski right now, you're wrong. That's the reason 382 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: why you're hearing what you're hearing right now from Zelenski. 383 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: It's exactly the reason why. The only reason why you're 384 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: hearing what you're hearing from Zelenski right now. What Zelenski 385 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: has decided to do right well, what Ki has moved 386 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: has moved forward with is abundantly clear administrations wanting him 387 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: to hang out to drive. I think they'd rather have 388 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: somebody else there in charge, even if it's a puppet 389 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: to putin. They just want this to kind of, you know, 390 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: go away. They don't want there to be any real 391 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: fight from the people in Ukraine. If they did, they 392 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing everything they're doing. Delayed by weeks on end, 393 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: after they've already invaded. We've got twenty thousand. We've been 394 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: told foreigners who showed up to fight on behalf of 395 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people and the problem is they don't even 396 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: have guns for them. We could fix that problem in 397 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: two seconds, but we're not. You know, we could have 398 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: a no fly zone that NATO could do, but no, 399 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: we're not going to do it. There's some country saying, 400 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: let us do the no fly zone, just give us airplanes. 401 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: We need to do it, and we're not doing it. 402 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: We keep delaying, and we keep pausing. And the question 403 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: is why why do we keep delaying and why do 404 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: we keep pausing, Because it's almost like we are okay 405 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: with the whole entire country being massacred and and we're 406 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: okay with it. For whatever reason that is because they 407 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: don't want to what become energy independent in America, or 408 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: maybe it's just because and I think there's a very 409 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: good chance what I'm about to say is totally accurate. 410 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: It could be as simple as Joe Biden doesn't like 411 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Zelenski and Joe Biden wants Zelenski to die or be 412 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: captured by the Russians so they can put in their 413 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: new guy, who then can be a puppet for Putin. 414 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: And at least we got rid of the guy that 415 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: was investigating his son. Because everything we're doing right now, well, 416 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: what we're not doing right now is very clear to 417 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: undermine Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, and undermine Zelenski. That's a fact, 418 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: all right.
