Speaker 1: Updates on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They are gathering
Speaker 1: their forces around Kiev as well as other cities, and
Speaker 1: now the big conversation is will there be a no
Speaker 1: fly zone and as a part of this as well,
Speaker 1: will Ukraine decide that it will give a guarantee of
Speaker 1: not joining Nadhousing that discussion, what's China doing about all this?
Speaker 1: Plus inflation and gas prices remain very high? Why is that?
Speaker 1: What's going on? And people are starting to realize things
Speaker 1: about COVID policies that they probably should have known all along.
Speaker 1: In fact, I bet they did know it all along.
Speaker 1: We will dive into this in a moment. Tax filing
Speaker 1: deadlines a little more than a month away on April
Speaker 1: eighteenth of this year. This filing deadline always brings out

Speaker 1: check it out all right. On the one hand, you're
Speaker 1: hearing people say that there is a need for greater
Speaker 1: US involvement in Ukraine. With each passing day, I'm hearing
Speaker 1: more people suggest that that needs to occur. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, there are many who are starting to recognize
Speaker 1: this isn't like other wars we've been involved in recently.
Speaker 1: This is a different kind of conflict in many respects.
Speaker 1: But the biggest way in which it differs is that
Speaker 1: there is a combatant here that has the third most
Speaker 1: capable military in the world really or the third most
Speaker 1: powerful military as any individual state, and also has thousands
Speaker 1: of nuclear weapons, among other things, among other w MD.
Speaker 1: We don't even really know the full scope of what
Speaker 1: the Russians have. I mean, here is UN Secretary General Gutaires,
Speaker 1: for example, saying straight up, the prospect of nuclear conflict
Speaker 1: here is high. Further escalation of the war, whether by
Speaker 1: accident or design, threatens all of humanity. Raising the alert
Speaker 1: of Russian nuclear forces is a bone shilling development. The
Speaker 1: prospect of nuclear conflict, once and thinkable, is now back
Speaker 1: within the realm of possibility. The security and safety of
Speaker 1: nuclear facilities must also be preserved. It's time to stop
Speaker 1: the order unleashed on the people of Ukraine and get
Speaker 1: on the paths of diplomacy and peace. That is chilling
Speaker 1: to hear, isn't it. There's been a run. I've seen
Speaker 1: seeing stories about this as well, that people are buying
Speaker 1: buying pills that one could take to avoid to avoid
Speaker 1: the poisoning that you get from radiation. But there's a
Speaker 1: run on these right now. People are so worried about
Speaker 1: this that they're actually going out and preparing for what
Speaker 1: could happen here. Potassium iya died pills is what people
Speaker 1: are buying up and the price on it has gone
Speaker 1: way up. I mean, this is one year into the
Speaker 1: Biden presidency and we're talking about in America that is poorer, weaker,
Speaker 1: and threatened with not only being brought into another war,
Speaker 1: but also the possibility of a major nuclear exchange happening
Speaker 1: here if we make the wrong moves. It's very important
Speaker 1: to get this right. I understand that there is It
Speaker 1: is true that there are countries that are testing America
Speaker 1: that sense weakness right now and a lack of vision
Speaker 1: and that is because we have a decrepit old buffoon
Speaker 1: as the commander in chief. They never should have done this,
Speaker 1: what they have put us through by making Joe Biden
Speaker 1: the member. They hit him in the basement during the election,
Speaker 1: and it was all very scripted, and they just knew
Speaker 1: he was attached to the Obama presidency as the vice president.
Speaker 1: He had the name recognition, and they just figured, we
Speaker 1: can make this guy president. They thought so long and
Speaker 1: hard about whether or not they could. They never stopped
Speaker 1: to think about whether or not they should. And we
Speaker 1: are seeing this now, we're dealing with the results of it.
Speaker 1: It's not just Russia that has obviously weighed the White
Speaker 1: House under the Biden regime and founded wanting. It's also
Speaker 1: what's going on with China, with Saudi Arabia, with the UAE,
Speaker 1: with Syria, with Venezuela. We're being slapped down all over
Speaker 1: the world. No one is afraid of upsetting this administration
Speaker 1: because they realize this administration is limited in what it
Speaker 1: can do. You know why, because the left wing base
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party is insane. They're completely insane. Why
Speaker 1: won't they just open the floodgates to all the fossil
Speaker 1: fuel energy production that we can have well, because that
Speaker 1: would upset the environmentalist left. That's just one issue, but
Speaker 1: there are there are many places where a change in
Speaker 1: policy admitting Trump was right absolutely unacceptable to the left
Speaker 1: wing base, really to the Democrat Party overall. In fact,
Speaker 1: there are idiots running around that are still trying to
Speaker 1: blame Trump for what has happened on Biden's watch. It's
Speaker 1: just not going to work. Folks. They can try that,
Speaker 1: but people understand, they see this for what it is.
Speaker 1: Even people who are quite dim witted, even some very
Speaker 1: limited individuals like the view Zone Joy Behar, recognize the
Speaker 1: stakes here in Russia couldn't be hired. You don't mess
Speaker 1: around with somebody who's got a whole lot of nukes.
Speaker 1: I will consider that an act of war. We're already
Speaker 1: in a war with him, and then where do we go.
Speaker 1: We're not in a war now. We don't want World
Speaker 1: War three in this world. This is a country that
Speaker 1: has nuclear weapons. We've been under this guy of nuclear
Speaker 1: weapons since I'm a child. You can't. You cannot screw
Speaker 1: around with a crazy person who is knew. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure the prudent's crazy, but he is vicious, and he
Speaker 1: is cold and calculating, and he does have a lot
Speaker 1: of nukes, and there's no reason to believe that if
Speaker 1: he felt pushed into a corner, he would be unwilling
Speaker 1: to use them. So Joy behar Despite all the idiocy
Speaker 1: that you often hear on the view, she's actually right
Speaker 1: on this one. You're seeing bigger forces at work though.
Speaker 1: Right now you're seeing a realignment of the world order
Speaker 1: as it is, Russia and China becoming much closer, much
Speaker 1: closer allies. I think as a result of all of this,
Speaker 1: already there are rumors out there that maybe Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: might start to sell oil denominated in the yuan Chinese
Speaker 1: currency instead of the dollar. We've been talking about this
Speaker 1: for decades. If the US loses its reserve currency status
Speaker 1: and buying oil would be a big indicator of that,
Speaker 1: we all become a much poorer country and much poorer
Speaker 1: as individuals very rapidly. I mean, the reason we've been
Speaker 1: able to engage in so much financial engineering, and the
Speaker 1: FETE has been able to print money and do all
Speaker 1: these things and run up a basically thirty trillion dollars
Speaker 1: debt is because the global economy uses dollars as its baseline.
Speaker 1: The international transactions are overwhelmingly denominated in dollars. This is
Speaker 1: what has allowed us to be the global superpower that
Speaker 1: we are. If you start to see a move away
Speaker 1: from that, the whole world changes and changes very rapidly.
Speaker 1: China's watching the situation and views everything with the US
Speaker 1: as zero sum, and they're gaining right now, They're gaining.
Speaker 1: They recognize that while we talk about how unified the
Speaker 1: West is against Russia, we also realize how long will
Speaker 1: that really last? Russia is the third largest producer of
Speaker 1: oil in the world. How long will this go? It's
Speaker 1: not going to last very long. I can tell you
Speaker 1: that much. Putin is just essentially looking at this as
Speaker 1: he has a time period through which to get his
Speaker 1: will in Ukraine, to get it done, to carve up
Speaker 1: the country, which I do believe is his goal. And
Speaker 1: once he gets there, I'll turn around and say, all right,
Speaker 1: now we have peace negotiations. You don't want me to
Speaker 1: go even further in Ukraine? Do you? Let's have normalization,
Speaker 1: Let's open up, let's open up the gas pickets. Everybody
Speaker 1: and the world will do it. I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you the world will do it as much as we
Speaker 1: all sit around now and feel so united in our
Speaker 1: support of Ukraine, and all these people in America have
Speaker 1: got their Ukraine flags everywhere and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Russia will not be excluded from the international community for long.
Speaker 1: And now we have the State Department under the spokesman
Speaker 1: Ned Price, someone I actually used to know pretty well
Speaker 1: back in my DC days. He says that the US
Speaker 1: will not stand by if China provides any support for Russia.
Speaker 1: A country that, by the way, has tremendous leverage with Russia,
Speaker 1: has a relationship with Russia that is distinct from the
Speaker 1: relationship that we are just about any other country on
Speaker 1: the planet has with Russia, and with that in mind,
Speaker 1: could do more than probably many other countries to bring
Speaker 1: an end to this senseless violence, to this brutality, to
Speaker 1: Putin's premeditated war of choice. We have communicated very clearly
Speaker 1: to Beijing that we won't stand by if we will
Speaker 1: not allow any country to compensate Russia for its losses.
Speaker 1: Let's have a little real world lesson here for the
Speaker 1: Biden regime, folks, China does not care at all about
Speaker 1: the suffering in Ukraine. The Chinese government could care less.
Speaker 1: The Chinese Communist Party puts its own people into concentration camps,
Speaker 1: had a one child policy, did force sterilization. The Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party presided over millions of its own people starving
Speaker 1: to death and using starvation as a weapon of politics.
Speaker 1: In living memory, you think they care about Ukraine on
Speaker 1: humanitarian grounds, that's absurd. You can wag your finger at
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party all day unless you have leverage,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This is what the idiot's in charge
Speaker 1: in this White House and in this State department do
Speaker 1: not understand. Unless you're gonna hit the bully, the bully
Speaker 1: keeps on bullying. This is the fundamental problem. They don't
Speaker 1: have an understanding of the real world as it exists.
Speaker 1: That extends to their energy policies as well. By the way,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that in just a moment. Here Pete Buddha,
Speaker 1: Judge Transportation Secretary, back from paternity leave, no doubt after
Speaker 1: months or whatever it was, wants to tell you that
Speaker 1: they have no control over energy policy. The Biden administration
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. Yeah, sure, right. Look, if

Speaker 1: dot Com again, Done for You Buck dot Com. Here's
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge saying, you know, the Biden administration can't
Speaker 1: really do very much about the price of gas. As
Speaker 1: you know, the President has taken a lot of steps
Speaker 1: to bring relief and to help stabilize oil prices, including
Speaker 1: that big release from the strategic petroleum reserve. Of course,
Speaker 1: the long term solution for this is energy independence and
Speaker 1: a shift to renewable energy here in this country. But
Speaker 1: let's also remember that while oil prices and gas prices
Speaker 1: are famously something that is largely outside of the direct
Speaker 1: control of any political figure, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: things that we could be doing right now that would
Speaker 1: bring direct relief to the pocketbooks of American families that
Speaker 1: are greater than most any families. Gasoline bill, that includes
Speaker 1: lowering the cost of insulin. Presidents for it. We're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of pushback from it, or on it. Lowering
Speaker 1: the cost of childcare, We're for it. We're getting a
Speaker 1: lot of pushback, often from the very same people who
Speaker 1: are criticizing us over inflation or gas prices. Yeah, forget
Speaker 1: about gas prices inflation. We're gonna lower the price of insulin.
Speaker 1: How many of you listening need insulin? Now. It's great
Speaker 1: for the people who do, But I don't think that's
Speaker 1: dealing with the eight percent inflation rate we're seeing and
Speaker 1: the record high gas prices, which affect pretty much everybody.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about some other non sequitur. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: doing this other thing. Oh, wait, I thought they did
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of control over energy when it
Speaker 1: came to telling the Green New Deal lunatics what they
Speaker 1: wanted to hear. They had a lot of control over energy.
Speaker 1: But they lie to you now right, I said, I'll
Speaker 1: get to this real quick. Here is Trevor Noah who
Speaker 1: all of a sudden has realized that the rules at
Speaker 1: the NBA is instituted that don't allow Kyrie Irving to play,
Speaker 1: but allow him to be in the stadium in the stands,
Speaker 1: and if he was a visiting player, not a New
Speaker 1: York Nets player, he would be able to play, even
Speaker 1: if he's unvaccinated. Trevor Noah goes, wait a second, that
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. I don't care, like how COVID compliant
Speaker 1: you are, Like, this makes zero sense. Can we agree
Speaker 1: on that? So Kyrie can go inside, not wear a mosque,
Speaker 1: even hugged teammate, but he cannot play. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Why does the ball have a weak immune system? What's
Speaker 1: going on? I mean, it's crazy. Just think about it.
Speaker 1: Just think about Kyrie kan play, but he can sit
Speaker 1: in the stands right like a fan, and then as
Speaker 1: a fan, what happens if he gets picked to take
Speaker 1: the half court shot to win the car, can you
Speaker 1: do that? Let me just point out, it's not that
Speaker 1: this became crazy now. It's been crazy all along. A
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff has been crazy all along. But
Speaker 1: now the Libs are acting like, oh, we just discovered,
Speaker 1: we just discovered that these policies make no sense. They
Speaker 1: keep no one safe. They're terran Nicole, they're idiotic. Buck
Speaker 1: was right about everything. They're just figuring this out. Apparently
Speaker 1: they're pretending that that they're figuring it out they've known
Speaker 1: all along. But they're cowards. We will hold them to account.
Speaker 1: That's what we got for today. Team back with more
Speaker 1: tomorrow Shields high
