Why is that? 12 00:00:55,537 --> 00:00:57,937 Speaker 1: What's going on? And people are starting to realize things 13 00:00:57,977 --> 00:01:04,097 Speaker 1: about COVID policies that they probably should have known all along. 14 00:01:04,217 --> 00:01:07,097 Speaker 1: In fact, I bet they did know it all along. 15 00:01:07,297 --> 00:01:11,177 Speaker 1: We will dive into this in a moment.

On the one hand, you're 42 00:02:27,177 --> 00:02:31,577 Speaker 1: hearing people say that there is a need for greater 43 00:02:31,897 --> 00:02:35,977 Speaker 1: US involvement in Ukraine. With each passing day, I'm hearing 44 00:02:36,017 --> 00:02:40,217 Speaker 1: more people suggest that that needs to occur. On the 45 00:02:40,257 --> 00:02:43,377 Speaker 1: other hand, there are many who are starting to recognize 46 00:02:44,057 --> 00:02:46,777 Speaker 1: this isn't like other wars we've been involved in recently. 47 00:02:47,377 --> 00:02:50,977 Speaker 1: This is a different kind of conflict in many respects. 48 00:02:50,977 --> 00:02:53,537 Speaker 1: But the biggest way in which it differs is that 49 00:02:53,577 --> 00:02:57,377 Speaker 1: there is a combatant here that has the third most 50 00:02:57,417 --> 00:03:01,377 Speaker 1: capable military in the world really or the third most 51 00:03:01,377 --> 00:03:07,377 Speaker 1: powerful military as any individual state, and also has thousands 52 00:03:07,417 --> 00:03:10,497 Speaker 1: of nuclear weapons, among other things, among other w MD. 53 00:03:10,777 --> 00:03:12,697 Speaker 1: We don't even really know the full scope of what 54 00:03:13,497 --> 00:03:18,777 Speaker 1: the Russians have. I mean, here is UN Secretary General Gutaires, 55 00:03:18,857 --> 00:03:23,097 Speaker 1: for example, saying straight up, the prospect of nuclear conflict 56 00:03:23,137 --> 00:03:27,017 Speaker 1: here is high. Further escalation of the war, whether by 57 00:03:27,097 --> 00:03:32,617 Speaker 1: accident or design, threatens all of humanity. Raising the alert 58 00:03:32,657 --> 00:03:37,017 Speaker 1: of Russian nuclear forces is a bone shilling development. The 59 00:03:37,097 --> 00:03:41,817 Speaker 1: prospect of nuclear conflict, once and thinkable, is now back 60 00:03:41,897 --> 00:03:45,937 Speaker 1: within the realm of possibility. The security and safety of 61 00:03:46,057 --> 00:03:50,937 Speaker 1: nuclear facilities must also be preserved. It's time to stop 62 00:03:50,977 --> 00:03:53,937 Speaker 1: the order unleashed on the people of Ukraine and get 63 00:03:53,977 --> 00:03:59,777 Speaker 1: on the paths of diplomacy and peace. That is chilling 64 00:03:59,817 --> 00:04:02,097 Speaker 1: to hear, isn't it. There's been a run. I've seen 65 00:04:03,697 --> 00:04:07,537 Speaker 1: seeing stories about this as well, that people are buying 66 00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:14,337 Speaker 1: buying pills that one could take to avoid to avoid 67 00:04:14,457 --> 00:04:18,097 Speaker 1: the poisoning that you get from radiation. But there's a 68 00:04:18,177 --> 00:04:22,577 Speaker 1: run on these right now. People are so worried about 69 00:04:22,617 --> 00:04:26,577 Speaker 1: this that they're actually going out and preparing for what 70 00:04:26,697 --> 00:04:31,257 Speaker 1: could happen here. Potassium iya died pills is what people 71 00:04:31,297 --> 00:04:33,777 Speaker 1: are buying up and the price on it has gone 72 00:04:33,817 --> 00:04:36,297 Speaker 1: way up. I mean, this is one year into the 73 00:04:36,297 --> 00:04:40,897 Speaker 1: Biden presidency and we're talking about in America that is poorer, weaker, 74 00:04:41,057 --> 00:04:44,617 Speaker 1: and threatened with not only being brought into another war, 75 00:04:44,777 --> 00:04:49,857 Speaker 1: but also the possibility of a major nuclear exchange happening 76 00:04:49,937 --> 00:04:53,377 Speaker 1: here if we make the wrong moves. It's very important 77 00:04:53,857 --> 00:04:57,097 Speaker 1: to get this right. I understand that there is It 78 00:04:57,217 --> 00:04:59,337 Speaker 1: is true that there are countries that are testing America 79 00:04:59,417 --> 00:05:03,097 Speaker 1: that sense weakness right now and a lack of vision 80 00:05:03,097 --> 00:05:06,017 Speaker 1: and that is because we have a decrepit old buffoon 81 00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:09,017 Speaker 1: as the commander in chief. They never should have done this, 82 00:05:09,377 --> 00:05:12,137 Speaker 1: what they have put us through by making Joe Biden 83 00:05:12,977 --> 00:05:16,057 Speaker 1: the member. They hit him in the basement during the election, 84 00:05:16,697 --> 00:05:19,377 Speaker 1: and it was all very scripted, and they just knew 85 00:05:19,417 --> 00:05:22,017 Speaker 1: he was attached to the Obama presidency as the vice president. 86 00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:24,537 Speaker 1: He had the name recognition, and they just figured, we 87 00:05:24,577 --> 00:05:27,337 Speaker 1: can make this guy president. They thought so long and 88 00:05:27,417 --> 00:05:29,897 Speaker 1: hard about whether or not they could. They never stopped 89 00:05:29,937 --> 00:05:33,737 Speaker 1: to think about whether or not they should. And we 90 00:05:33,817 --> 00:05:36,817 Speaker 1: are seeing this now, we're dealing with the results of it. 91 00:05:36,817 --> 00:05:42,337 Speaker 1: It's not just Russia that has obviously weighed the White 92 00:05:42,337 --> 00:05:45,057 Speaker 1: House under the Biden regime and founded wanting. It's also 93 00:05:45,097 --> 00:05:50,257 Speaker 1: what's going on with China, with Saudi Arabia, with the UAE, 94 00:05:50,257 --> 00:05:54,817 Speaker 1: with Syria, with Venezuela. We're being slapped down all over 95 00:05:54,857 --> 00:05:59,537 Speaker 1: the world. No one is afraid of upsetting this administration 96 00:05:59,617 --> 00:06:03,177 Speaker 1: because they realize this administration is limited in what it 97 00:06:03,177 --> 00:06:05,017 Speaker 1: can do. You know why, because the left wing base 98 00:06:05,057 --> 00:06:09,457 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party is insane. They're completely insane. Why 99 00:06:09,497 --> 00:06:13,297 Speaker 1: won't they just open the floodgates to all the fossil 100 00:06:13,297 --> 00:06:17,417 Speaker 1: fuel energy production that we can have well, because that 101 00:06:17,457 --> 00:06:20,137 Speaker 1: would upset the environmentalist left. That's just one issue, but 102 00:06:20,177 --> 00:06:22,617 Speaker 1: there are there are many places where a change in 103 00:06:22,657 --> 00:06:26,097 Speaker 1: policy admitting Trump was right absolutely unacceptable to the left 104 00:06:26,137 --> 00:06:29,857 Speaker 1: wing base, really to the Democrat Party overall. In fact, 105 00:06:29,897 --> 00:06:32,017 Speaker 1: there are idiots running around that are still trying to 106 00:06:32,057 --> 00:06:35,217 Speaker 1: blame Trump for what has happened on Biden's watch. It's 107 00:06:35,257 --> 00:06:37,417 Speaker 1: just not going to work. Folks. They can try that, 108 00:06:38,017 --> 00:06:41,457 Speaker 1: but people understand, they see this for what it is. 109 00:06:42,737 --> 00:06:46,017 Speaker 1: Even people who are quite dim witted, even some very 110 00:06:46,897 --> 00:06:51,217 Speaker 1: limited individuals like the view Zone Joy Behar, recognize the 111 00:06:51,337 --> 00:06:53,577 Speaker 1: stakes here in Russia couldn't be hired. You don't mess 112 00:06:53,617 --> 00:06:55,857 Speaker 1: around with somebody who's got a whole lot of nukes. 113 00:06:56,097 --> 00:06:58,777 Speaker 1: I will consider that an act of war. We're already 114 00:06:58,777 --> 00:07:00,777 Speaker 1: in a war with him, and then where do we go. 115 00:07:00,937 --> 00:07:05,537 Speaker 1: We're not in a war now. We don't want World 116 00:07:05,577 --> 00:07:07,697 Speaker 1: War three in this world. This is a country that 117 00:07:07,737 --> 00:07:10,697 Speaker 1: has nuclear weapons. We've been under this guy of nuclear 118 00:07:10,737 --> 00:07:16,097 Speaker 1: weapons since I'm a child. You can't. You cannot screw 119 00:07:16,137 --> 00:07:19,737 Speaker 1: around with a crazy person who is knew. I'm not 120 00:07:19,777 --> 00:07:23,057 Speaker 1: sure the prudent's crazy, but he is vicious, and he 121 00:07:23,177 --> 00:07:26,497 Speaker 1: is cold and calculating, and he does have a lot 122 00:07:26,497 --> 00:07:29,617 Speaker 1: of nukes, and there's no reason to believe that if 123 00:07:29,657 --> 00:07:32,097 Speaker 1: he felt pushed into a corner, he would be unwilling 124 00:07:32,137 --> 00:07:35,897 Speaker 1: to use them. So Joy behar Despite all the idiocy 125 00:07:35,977 --> 00:07:38,337 Speaker 1: that you often hear on the view, she's actually right 126 00:07:38,457 --> 00:07:41,297 Speaker 1: on this one. You're seeing bigger forces at work though. 127 00:07:41,337 --> 00:07:46,297 Speaker 1: Right now you're seeing a realignment of the world order 128 00:07:46,337 --> 00:07:49,897 Speaker 1: as it is, Russia and China becoming much closer, much 129 00:07:49,937 --> 00:07:52,417 Speaker 1: closer allies. I think as a result of all of this, 130 00:07:53,417 --> 00:07:57,257 Speaker 1: already there are rumors out there that maybe Saudi Arabia 131 00:07:57,377 --> 00:08:01,257 Speaker 1: might start to sell oil denominated in the yuan Chinese 132 00:08:01,257 --> 00:08:04,297 Speaker 1: currency instead of the dollar. We've been talking about this 133 00:08:04,337 --> 00:08:08,817 Speaker 1: for decades. If the US loses its reserve currency status 134 00:08:08,857 --> 00:08:12,537 Speaker 1: and buying oil would be a big indicator of that, 135 00:08:13,137 --> 00:08:16,417 Speaker 1: we all become a much poorer country and much poorer 136 00:08:16,457 --> 00:08:19,857 Speaker 1: as individuals very rapidly. I mean, the reason we've been 137 00:08:19,897 --> 00:08:22,857 Speaker 1: able to engage in so much financial engineering, and the 138 00:08:22,897 --> 00:08:24,417 Speaker 1: FETE has been able to print money and do all 139 00:08:24,457 --> 00:08:27,257 Speaker 1: these things and run up a basically thirty trillion dollars 140 00:08:27,337 --> 00:08:33,297 Speaker 1: debt is because the global economy uses dollars as its baseline. 141 00:08:34,217 --> 00:08:39,057 Speaker 1: The international transactions are overwhelmingly denominated in dollars. This is 142 00:08:39,097 --> 00:08:41,937 Speaker 1: what has allowed us to be the global superpower that 143 00:08:42,017 --> 00:08:44,177 Speaker 1: we are. If you start to see a move away 144 00:08:44,177 --> 00:08:48,257 Speaker 1: from that, the whole world changes and changes very rapidly. 145 00:08:48,377 --> 00:08:51,977 Speaker 1: China's watching the situation and views everything with the US 146 00:08:52,017 --> 00:08:55,937 Speaker 1: as zero sum, and they're gaining right now, They're gaining. 147 00:08:55,937 --> 00:08:59,697 Speaker 1: They recognize that while we talk about how unified the 148 00:08:59,697 --> 00:09:03,257 Speaker 1: West is against Russia, we also realize how long will 149 00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:06,697 Speaker 1: that really last? Russia is the third largest producer of 150 00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:12,177 Speaker 1: oil in the world. How long will this go? It's 151 00:09:12,217 --> 00:09:13,697 Speaker 1: not going to last very long. I can tell you 152 00:09:13,737 --> 00:09:16,497 Speaker 1: that much. Putin is just essentially looking at this as 153 00:09:16,977 --> 00:09:19,257 Speaker 1: he has a time period through which to get his 154 00:09:19,297 --> 00:09:22,897 Speaker 1: will in Ukraine, to get it done, to carve up 155 00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,977 Speaker 1: the country, which I do believe is his goal. And 156 00:09:25,057 --> 00:09:27,617 Speaker 1: once he gets there, I'll turn around and say, all right, 157 00:09:27,657 --> 00:09:30,417 Speaker 1: now we have peace negotiations. You don't want me to 158 00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:33,137 Speaker 1: go even further in Ukraine? Do you? Let's have normalization, 159 00:09:33,577 --> 00:09:36,377 Speaker 1: Let's open up, let's open up the gas pickets. Everybody 160 00:09:36,657 --> 00:09:40,177 Speaker 1: and the world will do it. I'm here to tell 161 00:09:40,177 --> 00:09:42,017 Speaker 1: you the world will do it as much as we 162 00:09:42,057 --> 00:09:45,257 Speaker 1: all sit around now and feel so united in our 163 00:09:45,297 --> 00:09:48,457 Speaker 1: support of Ukraine, and all these people in America have 164 00:09:48,617 --> 00:09:51,817 Speaker 1: got their Ukraine flags everywhere and all the rest of it. 165 00:09:52,817 --> 00:09:55,777 Speaker 1: Russia will not be excluded from the international community for long. 166 00:09:56,857 --> 00:10:01,377 Speaker 1: And now we have the State Department under the spokesman 167 00:10:01,577 --> 00:10:05,337 Speaker 1: Ned Price, someone I actually used to know pretty well 168 00:10:05,497 --> 00:10:09,097 Speaker 1: back in my DC days. He says that the US 169 00:10:09,177 --> 00:10:12,977 Speaker 1: will not stand by if China provides any support for Russia. 170 00:10:13,177 --> 00:10:17,217 Speaker 1: A country that, by the way, has tremendous leverage with Russia, 171 00:10:17,337 --> 00:10:20,657 Speaker 1: has a relationship with Russia that is distinct from the 172 00:10:20,697 --> 00:10:23,617 Speaker 1: relationship that we are just about any other country on 173 00:10:23,657 --> 00:10:26,857 Speaker 1: the planet has with Russia, and with that in mind, 174 00:10:26,977 --> 00:10:30,537 Speaker 1: could do more than probably many other countries to bring 175 00:10:30,577 --> 00:10:34,377 Speaker 1: an end to this senseless violence, to this brutality, to 176 00:10:34,817 --> 00:10:41,417 Speaker 1: Putin's premeditated war of choice. We have communicated very clearly 177 00:10:41,537 --> 00:10:46,497 Speaker 1: to Beijing that we won't stand by if we will 178 00:10:46,497 --> 00:10:50,737 Speaker 1: not allow any country to compensate Russia for its losses. 179 00:10:51,217 --> 00:10:53,297 Speaker 1: Let's have a little real world lesson here for the 180 00:10:53,337 --> 00:10:57,337 Speaker 1: Biden regime, folks, China does not care at all about 181 00:10:57,337 --> 00:11:00,057 Speaker 1: the suffering in Ukraine. The Chinese government could care less. 182 00:11:00,057 --> 00:11:04,337 Speaker 1: The Chinese Communist Party puts its own people into concentration camps, 183 00:11:04,457 --> 00:11:07,977 Speaker 1: had a one child policy, did force sterilization. The Chinese 184 00:11:07,977 --> 00:11:11,577 Speaker 1: Communist Party presided over millions of its own people starving 185 00:11:11,617 --> 00:11:15,337 Speaker 1: to death and using starvation as a weapon of politics. 186 00:11:15,377 --> 00:11:17,857 Speaker 1: In living memory, you think they care about Ukraine on 187 00:11:17,937 --> 00:11:21,497 Speaker 1: humanitarian grounds, that's absurd. You can wag your finger at 188 00:11:21,497 --> 00:11:24,457 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party all day unless you have leverage, 189 00:11:24,657 --> 00:11:27,817 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This is what the idiot's in charge 190 00:11:27,817 --> 00:11:29,977 Speaker 1: in this White House and in this State department do 191 00:11:30,057 --> 00:11:33,857 Speaker 1: not understand. Unless you're gonna hit the bully, the bully 192 00:11:33,977 --> 00:11:38,337 Speaker 1: keeps on bullying. This is the fundamental problem. They don't 193 00:11:38,337 --> 00:11:41,057 Speaker 1: have an understanding of the real world as it exists. 194 00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:44,057 Speaker 1: That extends to their energy policies as well.

Here's 218 00:12:44,937 --> 00:12:47,297 Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge saying, you know, the Biden administration can't 219 00:12:47,297 --> 00:12:49,497 Speaker 1: really do very much about the price of gas. As 220 00:12:49,497 --> 00:12:51,657 Speaker 1: you know, the President has taken a lot of steps 221 00:12:51,697 --> 00:12:55,257 Speaker 1: to bring relief and to help stabilize oil prices, including 222 00:12:55,297 --> 00:12:58,177 Speaker 1: that big release from the strategic petroleum reserve. Of course, 223 00:12:58,177 --> 00:13:01,137 Speaker 1: the long term solution for this is energy independence and 224 00:13:01,217 --> 00:13:04,617 Speaker 1: a shift to renewable energy here in this country. But 225 00:13:04,737 --> 00:13:08,177 Speaker 1: let's also remember that while oil prices and gas prices 226 00:13:08,257 --> 00:13:12,457 Speaker 1: are famously something that is largely outside of the direct 227 00:13:12,537 --> 00:13:14,817 Speaker 1: control of any political figure, there are a lot of 228 00:13:14,817 --> 00:13:17,177 Speaker 1: things that we could be doing right now that would 229 00:13:17,177 --> 00:13:20,177 Speaker 1: bring direct relief to the pocketbooks of American families that 230 00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:23,857 Speaker 1: are greater than most any families. Gasoline bill, that includes 231 00:13:24,097 --> 00:13:26,497 Speaker 1: lowering the cost of insulin. Presidents for it. We're getting 232 00:13:26,497 --> 00:13:28,697 Speaker 1: a lot of pushback from it, or on it. Lowering 233 00:13:28,737 --> 00:13:30,937 Speaker 1: the cost of childcare, We're for it. We're getting a 234 00:13:30,937 --> 00:13:33,217 Speaker 1: lot of pushback, often from the very same people who 235 00:13:33,217 --> 00:13:37,817 Speaker 1: are criticizing us over inflation or gas prices. Yeah, forget 236 00:13:37,857 --> 00:13:41,017 Speaker 1: about gas prices inflation. We're gonna lower the price of insulin. 237 00:13:41,777 --> 00:13:45,177 Speaker 1: How many of you listening need insulin? Now. It's great 238 00:13:45,217 --> 00:13:47,377 Speaker 1: for the people who do, But I don't think that's 239 00:13:47,457 --> 00:13:50,777 Speaker 1: dealing with the eight percent inflation rate we're seeing and 240 00:13:50,817 --> 00:13:53,457 Speaker 1: the record high gas prices, which affect pretty much everybody. 241 00:13:54,177 --> 00:13:57,337 Speaker 1: But let's talk about some other non sequitur. Yeah, we're 242 00:13:57,377 --> 00:14:00,257 Speaker 1: doing this other thing. Oh, wait, I thought they did 243 00:14:00,257 --> 00:14:02,297 Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of control over energy when it 244 00:14:02,337 --> 00:14:05,377 Speaker 1: came to telling the Green New Deal lunatics what they 245 00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:07,337 Speaker 1: wanted to hear. They had a lot of control over energy. 246 00:14:07,857 --> 00:14:10,617 Speaker 1: But they lie to you now right, I said, I'll 247 00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:13,457 Speaker 1: get to this real quick. Here is Trevor Noah who 248 00:14:13,497 --> 00:14:15,497 Speaker 1: all of a sudden has realized that the rules at 249 00:14:15,537 --> 00:14:18,697 Speaker 1: the NBA is instituted that don't allow Kyrie Irving to play, 250 00:14:18,777 --> 00:14:20,817 Speaker 1: but allow him to be in the stadium in the stands, 251 00:14:20,977 --> 00:14:22,577 Speaker 1: and if he was a visiting player, not a New 252 00:14:22,657 --> 00:14:24,537 Speaker 1: York Nets player, he would be able to play, even 253 00:14:24,537 --> 00:14:27,497 Speaker 1: if he's unvaccinated. Trevor Noah goes, wait a second, that 254 00:14:27,497 --> 00:14:30,777 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. I don't care, like how COVID compliant 255 00:14:30,777 --> 00:14:33,137 Speaker 1: you are, Like, this makes zero sense. Can we agree 256 00:14:33,177 --> 00:14:36,377 Speaker 1: on that? So Kyrie can go inside, not wear a mosque, 257 00:14:36,577 --> 00:14:39,937 Speaker 1: even hugged teammate, but he cannot play. I don't get it. 258 00:14:39,977 --> 00:14:42,057 Speaker 1: Why does the ball have a weak immune system? What's 259 00:14:42,057 --> 00:14:44,257 Speaker 1: going on? I mean, it's crazy. Just think about it. 260 00:14:44,257 --> 00:14:46,697 Speaker 1: Just think about Kyrie kan play, but he can sit 261 00:14:46,737 --> 00:14:49,657 Speaker 1: in the stands right like a fan, and then as 262 00:14:49,697 --> 00:14:51,617 Speaker 1: a fan, what happens if he gets picked to take 263 00:14:51,617 --> 00:14:53,577 Speaker 1: the half court shot to win the car, can you 264 00:14:53,657 --> 00:14:57,577 Speaker 1: do that? Let me just point out, it's not that 265 00:14:57,657 --> 00:15:00,817 Speaker 1: this became crazy now. It's been crazy all along. A 266 00:15:00,857 --> 00:15:02,977 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff has been crazy all along. But 267 00:15:03,057 --> 00:15:05,457 Speaker 1: now the Libs are acting like, oh, we just discovered, 268 00:15:05,977 --> 00:15:08,577 Speaker 1: we just discovered that these policies make no sense. They 269 00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:11,977 Speaker 1: keep no one safe. They're terran Nicole, they're idiotic. Buck 270 00:15:12,097 --> 00:15:14,657 Speaker 1: was right about everything. They're just figuring this out. Apparently 271 00:15:14,697 --> 00:15:16,697 Speaker 1: they're pretending that that they're figuring it out they've known 272 00:15:16,697 --> 00:15:19,817 Speaker 1: all along. But they're cowards. We will hold them to account. 273 00:15:20,217 --> 00:15:21,937 Speaker 1: That's what we got for today. Team back with more 274 00:15:21,977 --> 00:15:23,377 Speaker 1: tomorrow Shields high
