1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: To day number one, ninety two and two hundred and 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: five days since Joe said he would not leave Americans behind. 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: He did. God only knows. When Ukraine is all said 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: and all that was done, how many Americans might get 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: trapped mine enemy lines there? Who knows, or in Taiwan. 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Once China they'll they'll they'll see the green light of 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: a minor incursion reunification argument. And the world's not going 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: to lift a finger or do a thing. And we'll 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: get to all of that in the course of the 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: program today. I start with a sad note personally on 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: this program. Many of you know Bob Beckel, who was 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: on Fox for many years, started the five Hit Show. 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: He was also a dear personal friend and I don't 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: know why, but we would just we always got along. 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: He was a fun guy. He was an interesting you know, 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: he wrote a book that he just opened his heart. 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he'd struggled most of his life with addiction 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: issues and then went through periods where he really was 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: was optimizing what he had learned and to help so 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: many other people. He leaves behind an incredible son and daughter, 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Alex's son. I talked to him at length last night 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: and earlier yesterday. I knew about this, and he was 23 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: just a dear friend. And when he started on the five, 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: I just gave him a key to my house. He 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: used to come over. When do you remember these these stories. 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: I used to come back and tell you about him. 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I get up at five to six seven 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: in the morning and it's Bob in the you know, 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: out in the swimming pool. Bob had it. Didn't Bob 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: have his own room at one time because guys were 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: so close had he I love the jacuzi in your house. 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you mean I don't have a 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: jacuzi and he goes, no, yeah, you do. He takes 34 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: me into We called it the Bob Becko Wing. It 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: was just the room in the house. And I didn't 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: know that that particular tub, because I had used like 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: four rooms in the house, actually had jacuzzi jets in it. 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: I had no idea when I bought the house. I mean, 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: he was a riot. He loved that house. He loved 40 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: being around you and the child and my kids called 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: him at the time uncle Bob and um. He came 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: on these freedom concert tours with us, and he was 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: just a barrel of laughs. A lot of fun. I 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: have so many incredible memories of him, and um, he 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: went through some tough years. Um without going into detail, 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: but he had a heart of gold. And then it 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: was cal Thomas that started talking to him about God 48 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: and Jesus and changing his life and really brought him 49 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: to faith to the point where it was like such 50 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: an important part of his life. And you know, I 51 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: just I just missed my friend. He was an amazing 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: fun guy. He was probably America's most liked liberal, if 53 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: you can even say such a thing. And and he 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: he used to sit outside of Fox before every show 55 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: smoking his cigars. He had these little shorty cigars that 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: he smoked all the time, and he just sit out 57 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: there and just talked to everybody. Everybody would come up 58 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: to hey, Bob, what's up, Bob, how are you Bob. 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: It's like he was holding court all day long. It 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: was hilarious. And I put this together. It's kind of interesting. 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: I read this story in the Epic Times today. The 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: headline is atheist dad is transformed after Glimpse of Heaven 63 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: as a toddler's son has taken off life support. Say tragic, 64 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: sad story about things. Two year old little boy, and 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: he was very, very sick, and they knew that they 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: had to take him off life support and that he 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: was brain dead, and that they made a decision. They 68 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: had a time. He was an atheist at the time, 69 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: and anyway, so he's laying next to his son, knowing 70 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: that this kid is going to be taken off life 71 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: support in just a few hours, and he wrote about 72 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'll read it, he said. Right there. At 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: that moment, I was gone, lifted out of my body, 74 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: gone traveling with him. He was ahead of me. He 75 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: was looking back at me. He had his right hand 76 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: behind him and my left hand was holding his hand. 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: We were traveling. It felt fast, but it wasn't the wind. 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I could only see the blue, and there was communication 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: happening with me. I'd get lots of information of what 80 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: seemed like the atmosphere. My initial response to Griffin, his son, 81 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: was I can't believe this is happening. And he would 82 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: look at me and smile. His smile was just so large, 83 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: so alive. But when he would look away from me, 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: I'd become very ill. Similar to the state I was 85 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: in then, what I felt I wasn't tough enough to 86 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: comfort him, and then he would look at me again 87 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: enough feeling would go away. It was so intense the 88 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: love I felt. And then he would look away. And 89 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: the third time he looked away, I was so sick 90 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: and nauseating by my own feelings of not being enough. 91 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, you've got a tough enough. 92 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: This is a rare moment you're getting with your son. 93 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: He's alive. And this time Griffin looked at me as 94 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: young boy, and he laughed, and he knew my thoughts 95 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: and he knew them deeply, and he chuckled and said, Dad, 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: you're not sick. I knew all of what he meant 97 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: at that moment. Spiritually, emotionally, I was not sick. And 98 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: then he says, I experienced the love of God. He 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: was everywhere. He was. The blue that I saw totally 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: encompassed me. And I could see the things that I 101 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: had done in my life, the things that I thought 102 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: were good decisions, but they weren't. I could see the 103 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: business decisions I made that were so wrong because the 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: perspective with which I made them had been selfish. I 105 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: was supposed to be my brother's keeper. I didn't take 106 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: care of people like I should have. I felt God 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: say that he put people in my life to take 108 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: care of them, but I hadn't. And I could see 109 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: these things play out, and God showing me in a 110 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: very peaceful and very loving, not a critical way. It 111 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: was harsh, but so loving at the same time. It 112 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: all made sense. And he said, I could see eternity 113 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: and see it precisely. It was outside night of time. 114 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: And it was very clear to me that Griffin in 115 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: his two years did more than most men in one 116 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: hundred years could conceivably do. His life was truly precious 117 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: and accomplished. And then they said, we got to what 118 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: seemed like the end, and it seemed Griffin was trying 119 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: to introduce me to someone and his attention went somewhere. 120 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: He looked back at me and he said, Daddy, may 121 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: I stay. It was a yes or no question. I 122 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: knew I could not say no, and that he would 123 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: would have been alive when I got back. It was 124 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: crystal clear. But I said no, you could stay. I 125 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: mean just and I thought of that because if you 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: have a belief in God, faith, Heaven, you know, it 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what religion. You know. I'm a Christian. Christian 128 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: want to be really, because no one's a good Christian. 129 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: We have all sent them fallen short. But you know, 130 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: the Bible says to the effect that the eye had 131 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: not seen, nor has the year heard, nor has it 132 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: ever entered into the hearts of man what God has 133 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: planned for those that love the truth. And that guy 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: was an atheist. And I just thought of it in 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: the context of losing Bob and knowing Bob believed all 136 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: of this, and then I just if I just have 137 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: this belief that we'll all see each other again, But 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: when you lose a friend on earth, it's just painful. 139 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And Bob was a dear, dear friend, and for the 140 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: times that we spent together, I mean he was. He 141 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: was just you want to hang around from people, I'll 142 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: give you three Bob Beckel, Geraldo Rivera, and Bodeedle, and 143 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: you'll never be the same again, each in their own 144 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: unique way. God speed, Bob. We miss you and we 145 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: love you, and I know that you're in a better 146 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: place today. I really believe that Joe Biden said this 147 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: is the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That's 148 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: what he said today. And I'm going to as I 149 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: indicated in an asked permission to be able to, you know, 150 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: do this. I'm going to begin to impose sanctions and 151 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: response far worse than the steps we and our allies 152 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: used in twenty fourteen. There were no consequences in twenty fourteen. 153 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: Nobody talks about CRIMEA anymore. If Russia goes further with 154 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: this invasion, we stand prepared to go further with other sanctions. 155 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: What are you going to do, Joe. There's not a 156 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: thing that Joe Biden can do. And this is the 157 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: sad part of all of this to me. You know, 158 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: they're trying to act tough, and there's nothing tough about 159 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: what Joe Biden is doing. And I look at all 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: of this. I'm going to play a tape at the 161 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: bottom of this half hour of Donald Trump with NATO 162 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen beating the crap out of NATO and 163 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: how the United States is paying for security for all 164 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: NATO aligned countries. We're paying the bulk of the bill 165 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: to protect them from Russia. And then they're going and 166 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: making Russia and Vladimir Putin rich again by buying all 167 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: of Vladimir Putin's oil, which is everything that I was 168 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: telling you yesterday. What is at the heart of all 169 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: of this. You know, Trump instinctively knew, and he did 170 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: not stop. It was five straight minutes of a beatdown. 171 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: He pulverized these people and said, this is not gonna stand. 172 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna pay a fair share, You're gonna stop making 173 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: Putin rich again. I'm not gonna wait. I'm not going 174 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: into the Nord stream to pipeline. How stupid is that 175 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: if the whole purpose of NATO is for us to 176 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: help secure you from your perceived enemy of Russia or 177 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: a real enemy in real life. And he was right, 178 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: just like he was right when he said, watch out 179 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: for this guy, Osama bin Laden. You know it's you 180 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: know down Putin is out there, you know, calling it 181 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: a peacekeeping mission. No, it's not. It's an invasion. And 182 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: now he's gonna take the world's temperature. He's only going 183 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: to see weakness, and it's only going to embolden him. 184 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, there was then candidate Biden has said, Vladimir 185 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: Putin doesn't want me to be president, doesn't want me 186 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: to be our nominee. If you're wondering why, it's because 187 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm the only person in this field has ever gone 188 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: toe to toe with him. You know, when I look 189 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: at I am predicting China will take Taiwan, and I 190 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: don't think the world will do a thing. I'm predicting 191 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: that Putin will go further into Ukraine and maybe maybe 192 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: even beyond that. I can't say for sure. You know, 193 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: Pete Putin watched as Biden refused to hold China accountable 194 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: in any way for COVID, the crackdown in Hong Kong. 195 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: Nobody's held China responsible for their hostile you know, they 196 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: are fighter jets flying into Taiwan airspace day in and 197 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: day out. You know. Putin watched as Biden lifted sanctions 198 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: and allowed the waiver for the nord Stream to pipeline. 199 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: How stupid is that? I mean, you know, he announced 200 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: his intentions back on July twelfth, as I told you yesterday, 201 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: Russian troops and equipment and have been amassing for every forever. 202 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: And people say, no, he just wants to use it 203 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: for leverage. I'm like, well, maybe you're right. I tend 204 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: to doubt it because Putin never acknowledge that Ukraine was 205 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: even a country. You know, Moscow, by the way, one 206 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: of the ambassadors said to Sweden, Yeah, we don't give 207 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: an atom shift about sanctions. They don't care because now 208 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden artificially reducing the world's supply of energy, 209 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: that has jacked up the price to nearly a hundred 210 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: bucks a barrel of oil, that has now made Putin 211 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: rich again, and it has pushed our Western, European and 212 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: NATO allies into Putin's arm because they need his oil. 213 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: And we should be outproducing Vladimir Putin because we've got 214 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: more natural resources than he does. And unfortunately it is 215 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden that blocked the Keystone XL pipeline. While he 216 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: gave the waiver to Vladimir, he put drilling efforts in 217 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Alaska and more on a permanent hold. He disrupted all 218 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: new exploration and development auctions in the entire country. He 219 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: suspended new exploration on federal lands. He hurt American liquefied 220 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: natural gas production by lifting sanctions of the nord Stream too. 221 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's at this point in time where do 222 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: you think, What do you think inflation is mostly being 223 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: caused by Joe Biden's economic and energy policies. What is 224 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: emboldened and enriched Vladimir Putin? Joe Biden's economic and energy policies. 225 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: You know, how many of you know the United States 226 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: import in twenty twenty one, Joe's first year as president, 227 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two million barrels of oil. Guess 228 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: where we got it from? Anyone want to guess, Linda, 229 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: where we get it from? Two hundred and thirty two 230 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: million barrels of oil? We want to under Trump No. 231 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one, where did we get the Where did 232 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: we import two hundred and thirty two million barrels of 233 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: oil from? From Russia? Russia? Yeah, and in Europe, you 234 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: know a third of Germany's gas comes from Russia. We 235 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: have more natural re sources. But he's beholden to this 236 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: this climate change, New Green Deal, socialist cult, and he 237 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: will not bring us back to energy independence by artificially 238 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: reducing the world supply as demand remains constant and gets 239 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: even higher. That's why we're all that's why we're in 240 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: a forty year high of inflation too. It's good for 241 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: national security, it's good for economic security, it's good for 242 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: job creation, it's good to reduce inflation. He's not going 243 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: to do any of these things. Maybe maybe politically I 244 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: should be happy and Kamala. What an embarrassment. Oh my gosh, 245 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: it was humiliating this weekend. Think of it this way. 246 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: How much leverage can Joe have? Joe is out there 247 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: saying we're gonna act together and we're gonna We're gonna 248 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: put more sanctions. This is a violation of international law. 249 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: Do you think Putin cares what Joe Biden thinks. He 250 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: doesn't care. You know, we're gonna put sanctions on sovereign debt. 251 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,239 Speaker 1: That means that if the Russian government once Western financing, 252 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: he doesn't need your financing, Joe, because your energy policies 253 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: made him richer than he's been in twenty years. Great job, 254 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: So it's not going to matter. And where are you 255 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: going to get the two hundred and sixty eight million 256 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 1: barrels of oil that you got last year from Russia 257 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: if you put all these sanctions? Maybe he says, you know, 258 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: what the hell with you, I'm not going to do 259 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: a thing. OPEC has already turned you down, what five, six, seven, 260 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: eight times already in terms of saying no to increasing 261 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: oil production as a means of reducing the price. And 262 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden his party will not let him go back 263 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: to the energy policies he inherited. We were energy independent, 264 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: were net exporters of energy, and that's just not going 265 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: to happen. European natural gas futures especially sensitive to the 266 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: latest news. They jump nearly fifteen percent today. It's not good. 267 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,119 Speaker 1: By the way, Michael Bloomberg is warn warning the Democrats 268 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: are headed for a wipeout in November unless an immediate 269 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: course correction is implemented. And we all know that's not 270 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. You know, it's sad Biden saying, well, 271 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to get you out 272 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: of Ukraine if you get trapped behind enemy lines. And 273 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: now we have nonprofit groups stepping up. There's a combat 274 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: veteran guy, I don't know who he is, Brian Stein, 275 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: co founded a project to rescue Americans left behind in Afghanistan. 276 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Now they're switching to Ukraine while they still have maybe 277 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: a fighting chance to get people Americans out of there. 278 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you something, this never would 279 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: have happened under Donald Trump. And when we play this 280 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: tape after the news at the bottom of the hour, 281 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: you will fully understand the difference between a cognitively aware 282 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: and up to speed President versus this guy who is 283 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: a complete and utter cognitive mess that probably doesn't know 284 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: today's Tuesday. Oh all right, twenty five to the top 285 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: of the hour. Get to give a shout out to 286 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: our New York affiliate home base station. It is the 287 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: one hundred year anniversary of wo R. I grew up 288 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: listening to this radio station, rambling with Gambling, especially on 289 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: a winter snowy day, and waiting for my school's name 290 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: to be called out by John Gambling. There's three generations 291 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: of Gamblings that had hosted the morning show on this 292 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: great station. Anyway, fifty thousand watt Flamethrower and anyway. It 293 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: was the first news talk station in New York and 294 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,359 Speaker 1: just an amazing history and still to this day impactful 295 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: as ever in the city of New York and beyond 296 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey, Long Island, you name it, and 297 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: all across the East Coast at night. Congratulations to all 298 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: our friends, Tom Cutty, all the guys that are on 299 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: the air marks a moment. I can't name everybody, but 300 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: we love you and we're honored to be a part 301 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: of this team. Um, I want to play this tape 302 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: for you now. Hannity, where are you going to play 303 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: a five minute tape of Donald Trump? Because it is 304 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: so relevant and I'm gonna show it tonight. When you 305 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: see it, it's even better. And this is Donald Trump 306 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, just brutalizing NATO and there the lack 307 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: of them paying their fair share, how we are treated horribly, 308 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: that we are bearing the brunt of protecting their countries 309 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: from Russia and they're doing all these energy deals with 310 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin and Russia. I mean, it is so relevant 311 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: to where we are now. This is the antithesis of 312 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: what Biden and Lincoln, Blincoln would be capable of. Mike 313 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: Pompeo sitting right next to Donald Trump and Donald Trump 314 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: does not stop. He brutalizes them. Listen. Well, it's very said. 315 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: When Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia, 316 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be guarding against Russia, and Germany 317 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a 318 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: year to Russia. So we're protecting Germany, We're protecting France, 319 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: We're protecting all of these countries. And then numerous of 320 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with 321 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: Russia where they're paying billions of dollars into the Conference 322 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: of Russia. So we're supposed to protect you against Russia, 323 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia. And I 324 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: think that's very inappropriate. And the former Chancellor of Germany 325 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: is the head of the pipeline company that's applying the 326 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: gas is ultimately Germany will have almost seventy percent of 327 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. So you 328 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: tell me is that appropriate. I mean, we've been complaining 329 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: about this from the time I got it. It should 330 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: have never been allowed to have happened. But Germany is 331 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: totally controlled by Russia because they were getting from sixty 332 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: to seventy percent of their energy from Russia and a 333 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: new pipeline, And you tell me if that's appropriate, because 334 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: I think it's not, and I think it's a very 335 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: bad thing for native and I don't think it should 336 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: have happened, and I think we have to talk to 337 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: Germany about it. On top of that, Germany is just 338 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: paying a little bit over one percent, whereas the United 339 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: States and actual numbers is paying four point two percent 340 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: of a much larger GDP. So I think that's inappropriate. Also, 341 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: you know, we're protecting Germany, we're protecting France, We're protecting everybody, 342 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: and yet we're paying a lot of money to protect Now, 343 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: this has been going on for decades. This has been 344 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: brought up by other presidents, but other presidents never did 345 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: anything about it because I don't think they understood it 346 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: or they just didn't want to get involved. But I 347 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: have to bring it up because I think it's very 348 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: unfair to our country. It's very unfair to our taxpayer, 349 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: and I think that these countries have to step it up. 350 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: Not over a ten year period, you have to step 351 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: it up immediately. Germany is a rich country. They talk 352 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: about thinking eight pieced a tiny bit by twenty thirty. Well, 353 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem. 354 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to the United States. So 355 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do something because we're not going 356 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: to put up with it. We can't put up with it, 357 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: and it's inappropriate. So we have to talk about the 358 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars that's being paid in the 359 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: country that we're supposed to be protecting you against. You know, 360 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: everybody's everybody's talking about it all over the world. They'll say, well, 361 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: wait a minute, wiship us gonna be protecting you from Russia. 362 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: But why are you paying billions of dollars to Russia 363 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: their energy? Why are countries in NATO, namely Germany, having 364 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: a large percentage of their energy needs paid you to 365 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: Russia and taking care of by Russian. Now, if you 366 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia because 367 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: they supply they got rid of their call plans, they 368 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: get rid of their nuclear They're getting so much of 369 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: the oil and gas from Russia. I think it's something 370 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: that NATO has to look at. I think it's very inappropriate. 371 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: You and I agree that it's inappropriate. I don't know 372 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: what you can do about it now, but it certainly 373 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to make sense that they paid billions of 374 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: dollars to Russia and now we have to defend them 375 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: against Russia. You know, NATO is the ninons of twenty 376 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: nine nations, and there are some clients, differences and different 377 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: news and also some disagreements. And gas partown from Russia 378 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: to Germany is one issue where allies disagree. But the 379 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: strength on NATO is that at this point of these differences, 380 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: we have always been able to unite around our your 381 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: cost to protect and defend each other because you understand 382 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: that we are stronger together than a part. I think 383 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: that two world wars and the Cold War vocals that 384 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: we are strongly together than a part. But how can 385 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: you be together? What in country is getting its energy 386 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: from the person you want protection against or from the 387 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: group that you want to protect. They cause you understand 388 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: that when we stand together. Also, in dealing with Russia, 389 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: we are stronger. I think, well, we have seen it's no, 390 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: you're just making Russia. Richard Well, they're dealing with Russia. 391 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: You're making rustied Richard Well. I think that even due 392 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: to the Cold War, nay lamas we're trading with Russia, 393 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: then they have been disagreements about what count of trade 394 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: arrangements we should. I think trade is wonderful. I think 395 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: energy is a whole different story. I think energy is 396 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: a much different story than normal trade. And you have 397 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: a country like Poland that won't accept the yess you 398 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: take a look at some of the countries. They weren't 399 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: accepted because they don't want to be captive to Russian. 400 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: But Germany as far as I'm concerned, it's captive to 401 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: Russia because it's getting so much of its energy from Russians. 402 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: So what's amost the protect Germany? But they're getting their 403 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: energy from Russian explained that, And it can't be explained, 404 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: you know, they can't be explained. I mean, he just 405 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: he had it down. Could you imagine any moment that 406 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden could ever be that tough? I mean, this 407 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: was Biden today announcing sanctions on Russia. Who in the 408 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: Lord's name does Putin think gives him the right? And 409 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it is. This is what 410 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: it's like that you just heard America first. You just 411 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: heard make America great. You just heard what peace through 412 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: strength is, and you compare it to this cognitive mess. 413 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: You know. I had a General Kellogg one last night 414 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: and I said, well, what's the difference. You know, why 415 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: did they go into Crimea with Obama Biden? They did 416 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: nothing during the Trump years and now Trump's out and 417 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: immediately they go back, you know, back to their territorial ambitions. 418 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: And he said, it's simple, they believe Trump. And there 419 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: was a genuine fear and a reality and unpredictability of 420 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: Trump and that he would act and a belief that 421 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: he would act in a forceful way that meant something. 422 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: You know what's Biden doing, all right? He evacuates State 423 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: Department personnel from Ukraine and Poland, he pulls our delegation 424 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: out of Moscow. Okay, none of this, It doesn't mean 425 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: anything to the Russians. And yet even Biden is still 426 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: importing oil. You know, when we can produce as much 427 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: oil as we need for ourselves in this country, why 428 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: what difference If your argument is it impacts the environment, 429 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: does it really make a difference if you drill the 430 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: oil in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, OPEC Nations, 431 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: Russia or the US. But if we're do in the US, 432 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: it benefits our national security concerns because then we don't 433 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: have to we don't have to worry about what happens 434 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Now, of course we'll defend our 435 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: friends Israel. We should be stopping rand from getting a bomb. 436 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: That's that's the third leg of this, you know, unholy 437 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: trio of Russia, China and Iran. I mean, and the 438 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: world is watching and there's no leader. And this is 439 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: just setting the stage now for the next step, and 440 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: the next step will be I think to take over 441 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: the entire country of Ukraine. Belarus. Watching troops now align 442 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: on their border, what are the intentions there? If you'll 443 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: listen to the same rhetoric of Putin on the Baltics, 444 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: you get the same kind of feeling that he's got 445 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: territorial ambitions there. This can spit out of control really 446 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: really quickly, and then what do we do? He ad 447 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: another huge embarrassment of a vice president on the world 448 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: stage in Munich on Sunday, you know, literally contradicting herself, 449 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: totally unprepared with this stupid mask on, gives a rambling, 450 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: incoherent answer, falsely claiming that Europe spent a piece for 451 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: seventy years. I've already corrected that record. And then it 452 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: gets forced because then she says that sanctions will absolutely 453 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: deter Putin, and then in the next breath saying that 454 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: Putin already made up his mind he's gonna invade Ukraine. Okay, 455 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: what is it? Tell us Kamala, which one is it? 456 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: I'd really like to know. Russian lawmakers, they've just fallen 457 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: in line. Not that Vladimir needs permission from Russian legislators. 458 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: To invade Ukraine, but he got it anyway. Russian lawmakers 459 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: earlier today authorized Putin to use military force outside the country, 460 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: and that could obviously be off for a broader attack 461 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: on Ukraine. The upper house of the Federal Council vote 462 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: unanimously to allow Putin to use military force. Shortly after, 463 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: Putin laid out three conditions to end the crisis that 464 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: has threatened to plunge Europe back into war, raising the 465 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: specter of massive casualties. He called for the an international 466 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: recognition of Crimea's part of Russia and then to Ukraine's 467 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: NATO membership bid and a halt to weapons shipments there. 468 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: The West has to cried Russia's annexation otherwise, Tulsa Gabert 469 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: actually thought that just saying that they would never be 470 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: being NATO members, he doesn't recognize them as the country. 471 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: So that's a little problem in his proposal. If he 472 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: wanted to have a peaceful solution, well, everyone was kissing 473 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: his ass and begging him to have a pretty please, 474 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: pretty pretty, pretty pretty please. And Putin warned yesterday Western 475 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: rejection of Moscow's demands give Rush of the right to 476 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: take steps to protect their security they're on a peacekeeping mission. 477 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: They say, okay, we'll believe that lie too. Putin doesn't care, 478 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now about Biden's sanctions. He doesn't 479 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: care about international law. And all these people making these 480 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: arguments are ridiculous. You know, Russia foresaw every single move 481 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: the West was likely to make, and they're playing chess 482 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: and these idiots are trying to kiss the ass of 483 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: a dictator who has territorial ambitions. Weakness like that is 484 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: never gonna work. Now, Germany, okay, give him credit. They 485 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: suspended Nordstream two pipelines, but you know what crime is 486 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: long and forgotten. And they still went into business with Putin, 487 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: So why would they not? Why would they stop? Now? 488 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: Tell me why give me the reason? Putin, by the way, 489 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: is expected to use trapped American citizens as bargaining chips, 490 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: according to some people that I've been listening to. I 491 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: hope that's not true. What are we doing to get 492 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: Americans out? Joe? Still no plan, I'm assuming, but Putin 493 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: is going to interpret Biden's weak response in this ridiculous 494 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: speech he had today. You know, Pompeo was right. He 495 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: said we could have stopped Nordstream two months ago, when 496 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: it was much further away from completion. They could have 497 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, we could do we could 498 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: blow the thing up too well. So I don't know 499 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: how that happened, you know, covert operation, plausible deniability. They 500 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: could have begun to put real sanctions in place before 501 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: it happened. As he was building up his troops on 502 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: the border. You know, well, maybe it'll only be a 503 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: minor incursion. That seemed like a green light to me, 504 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: as I said, this is not the first time the 505 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: Biden whine. I was claiming over the last few weeks 506 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: it would be the largest military operation of its kinds 507 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: since World War Two. The only problem is the fifty 508 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: six Soviet Union led by Nikita Khrushchov putting down the 509 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: Hungarian Revolution. That would actually count as one anyway. European 510 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: leaders are even disagreeing with Biden over whether Russia has 511 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine because they all they're all beholden to Russia 512 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: because and Joe's energy policies pushed our allies right into 513 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: Russia's arms. Now, Robert Kahili Trafalgar Group did a poll. 514 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: Overwhelmingly I agree with them. The American people opposed sending 515 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: troops to Ukraine. No, we shouldn't. Only fifteen point three 516 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: percent of people polled said the US troops. No. The 517 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: way to defeat Russia is simple. We literally got to 518 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: ratchet up and I would call it warp speed and 519 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: production and outproduced Russia. That will scare Putin, and that 520 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: will get Putin's attention. You know, he's Biden's issuing executive 521 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: orders barring Americans from doing business in the rebel enclaves. 522 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: What is that? What kind of sanction is that he's violating? 523 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: You know, for Lord's sake, what's your what's he think 524 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: he is the right to do this? This is a 525 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: violation of international law. We're putting eighty five hundred troops 526 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: on a heightened state of preparedness for what. What are 527 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: you gonna do? Joe? I think Vladimir is even taken 528 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: that seriously, because he's not. That's the point. He just 529 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: sees weakness, weakness with NATO, and he'd love to break 530 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: that up. He sees people dependent on him. He thanks 531 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden for all of the gifts that Joe Biden's 532 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: given him, and now is the moment to act. Now, 533 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: the question is what's China going to do with Taiwan, 534 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: because I don't think that's far or off in the 535 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: future either.
