1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: NATO is holding firepower drills and LATFIA. Why because there 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: are real concerns now that we are in not down 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: the verds, but we're actually in the beginnings of war 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: War three. President Joe Biden also came out and said 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: that G seven nations are going to take steps to 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 1: deny Most Favored Nation status to Russia, not just the 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: United States of America. The US will also ban imports 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: on Russian seafood, Russian alcohol, and diamonds. The question you 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: should be asking yourself right now is why did this 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: take so long? Now? A quick reminder, if you're listening 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: to this podcast, please make sure you hit the subscriber 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: auto download button and tell your friends about this podcast, 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: share this on social media, and if you would write 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: us a five star review to help us as Democrats 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: have been attacking our podcasts recently with bad reviews. Now 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: Here is part of the present announcement to the world. 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: As food continues. As merciless assault, the United States and 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: our allies and partners continue to work and lockstep to 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: ramp up the economic pressures on Putin and to further 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: isolate Russia and the global stage. Later today, together with 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: other NATO allies in the G seven, Canada, France, Germany, 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Italy and Japan, the United Kingdom, as well as the 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: European Union. We're going to jointly announce several new steps 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: to squeeze Putin and hold them more even more accountable 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: for his aggression against Ukraine. And I want to speak 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: to a few of those points today. First, each of 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: our nation is going to take steps to the NYE 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: Most Favored Nations status to Russia. Our Most Favored Nations 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: status designation means two countries have agreed to trade with 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: each other under the best possible terms, low tariffs, a 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: few barriers of trade, and the highest possible imports allowed. 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: In the United States, we call this Permanent Normal Trade 33 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: Relations PNTR, but it's the same thing. Revoke PNTR for 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: Russia is going to make it harder for Russia to 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: do business with the United States, and doing it in 36 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: unison with other nations to make up half of the 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: global economy will be another crushing blow to the Russian economy. 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: It's already suffering very badly from our sanctions. And I 39 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: want to thank Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader Schumer, and 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: McConnell and Senators Widen and Crapo represent as Neil and 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: Brady for their bipartisan leadership on this in the Congress. 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: I would like to offer a special thanks to Speaker Pelos, 43 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: who's been a strong advocate for revoking PNTR and who 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: agreed to hold off on that in the House until 45 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: I could line up all of our key allies to 46 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: keep us in complete unison. Unity among our allies as 47 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: critically important, as you all know, and from my perspective, 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: least many issues divided us in Washington, but standing for 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: democracy in Ukraine pushing Russia's aggression should not be one 50 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of those issues. The free world is coming together to 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: front puttin. Are two parties here at home are leading 52 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: the way, and with that bipartisan cooperation, I'm looking forward 53 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: to sign in the law, the bill revolking p and TR, 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: which is again most people think of his most favorite 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: nations status. We're also taking a further step abandon imports 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: of goods from several signature sectors of the Russian economy, 57 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: including seafoods, vodka, and diamonds. Now, the question you should 58 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: be asking is what took so long? How is it 59 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: taking this long? We've seen videos coming out, and those 60 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: videos are very clear of the atrocities that are being 61 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: committed by Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin has started World War three. 62 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: The question is are we going to stop it? Are 63 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: we going to help defeat him? Are we going to 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: push him back within his own borders? Are we going 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: to allow him to continue to act like a madman 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: who is killing innocent women and children, attacking hospitals, children's hospitals, 67 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: maternity wards. Are we going to out for more mass 68 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: graves to be dug and bodies to be thrown in 69 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: them in Ukraine? Now, this is there very new, real 70 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: concerns about chemical weapons. There was only one question that 71 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: Joe Biden would answer at the end of his press 72 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: conference right banning all of these things. And the question 73 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: is one that has been brought up a lot in 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the last twenty four to forty eight hours, and that 75 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: is there is intelligence now and people are very concerned 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: that chemical weapons may be used by Vladimir Putin. Would 77 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: that be a red line? Now? The White House Press 78 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: Secretary bungled that one as well when she was asked 79 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the question and would not answer if that was a 80 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: red line? Now, remember I don't want them to say 81 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: it's a red line if it's not. I want to 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: be clear about that, Okay, I don't want them to 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: say it's a red line if we don't back it up. 84 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: I remember when Syria and there was a red line 85 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: question asked. You remember that of Barack Obama. You may 86 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: remember that red line question where he was asked about 87 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: would it changed the calculus if chemical weapons were used? 88 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: And he said, yes, that would change our calculus, as 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: Obama put it back then, then they were used, and 90 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: what did we do? We did nothing, you know. I 91 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: remember I go back to twenty seventeen when Donald Trump 92 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: was asked about that red line and he said, I'm 93 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: not like Obama where I draw a red line and 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: then don't act. And this is the reason why Vladimir 95 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: Prutent other people didn't screw with Donald Trump. It's a president. 96 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. Let's start with North Korea. 97 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have been talking about it. 98 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: You mentioned it over the weekend with CBS. Kim Jong Un? 99 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Is there a red line for President Trump with North Korea? Well, 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: I'm not like President Obama where you drew a red line, 101 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: as he said a red line in the sand, and 102 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: then lots of bad things happened, and he never goes 103 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: over the red line. In fact, I actually covered his 104 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: red line for him with Syria. But I will say 105 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: that you see what's going on, it's very very bad. 106 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: It's very threatening to us and to many many other allies. 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: If you look at South Korea, if you look at 108 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: Japan and others, it's a very horrible thing that's going on. 109 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: In the statements are very inflammatory, they're horrible. So we'll 110 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: have to see. I don't like doing red lines, but 111 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: I active, I have to act. I like the way that. 112 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: By the way, Donald Trump answered at the time, he said, look, 113 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm not like Obama, where if I do draw a 114 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: red line and it's cross, I'm going to actually act. 115 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit back. You know. Even Barack 116 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: Obama was asked after the fact about that, he said, 117 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't regret it at all, laying down red line 118 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: with Syria, and the media helped him get out of 119 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: this when he was doing a CBS interview back in 120 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: twenty and seventeen, and he says, well, I don't regret it. Well, 121 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: the world responds when you are weak, and they realize 122 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: that when you lie and you say there's a red 123 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: line on human rights abuses, there's a red line on 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: chemical weapons, and then you don't act that, there will 125 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: be consequences, raising questions about his credibility. I want to 126 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: go back to like two thousand and twelve. Yeah, I 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: wanted to two words red line. Yeah, you didn't have 128 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: to say that. Yeah, And there have been reports that 129 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't in your speech. Wasn't that you just sort 130 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: of ad libbed it if you could pull but it 131 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: created it created problems for you with the with the 132 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: military people. Would you take those words back? You didn't 133 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: have to say them. Yeah, Look, if you're putting all 134 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: the weight on that particular phrase. And then in terms 135 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: of how it was interpreted in Washington, I think you 136 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: make a legitimate point. By the way, I love how 137 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: they always says, this is how it's interpreted in Washington. 138 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: A red line should not have any other interpretation except 139 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: for the fact that it's a red line. You know, 140 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: Barack Obama was literally saying, well, the betway established miss 141 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: establishment misconstrued my red line on Syries. Yeah, that's what 142 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: he was saying. That's what that's literally what He's saying, well, 143 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the Beltway establishment and they misconstrued it. Now you've got 144 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: a president they were watching now and then and again 145 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: the White House's like, well, we don't know, all right, 146 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: So where are we with this president? Right? If chemical 147 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: weapons are used? What does that mean? We now have 148 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: a response. This is the response to the president one question, 149 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: one question only of him from the White House Press 150 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Corps before he walked out of the room after saying 151 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: that Russia, will you know it's gonna lose the ability 152 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: to sell us alcohol and diamonds and fish because that's 153 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: gonna stop Putin? And what the US have a military 154 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: response if Whutin does launch the chemical weapons attack. I'm 155 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: not going to speak about the intelligence, but Russia would 156 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: pay severe price of the use chemical President there announcing 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: new economic steps, notably in conjunction with partners, namely removed. 158 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: I love it, right, oh, Laurashia would pay a severe 159 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: price if they use chemical weapons. I'm not gonna speak 160 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: about the intelligence, but they pay a severe price. What 161 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: is that, superior? What is that severe price, mister president? 162 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Because so far you hadn't made him pay for anything 163 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: he's done so far, so far, this has not been 164 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: a very big deal, mister President. So far, this has 165 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: been pretty easy. You guys are not just a day 166 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: late in dollars short. You're like a month late and 167 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: billions of dollars short of what the people in Ukraine 168 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: needed protect and defend themselves. And now all of a sudden, 169 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: you're like, Wow, there's gonna be a there's gonna be 170 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: a real thing here that happens, like, they better not 171 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: screw with us.

I'm not afraid of 173 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: the United States of America right now because they don't 174 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: seem to have the stomach to do anything. I'm talking 175 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: directly about Joe Biden, his leadership. No one's afraid of 176 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: him right now. I mean, why would you be afraid 177 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: of him right now? Is there anything that he said 178 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: so far that you would be afraid of? I don't 179 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: see it. I don't understand what we're trying to do. 180 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't understand our strategy right now because we are 181 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: always behind on everything that we are doing. Right now, 182 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't comprehend what they're trying to accomplish. And I 183 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: think I'm not the only one. Right now, Russia would 184 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: pay a severe price if they use chemical weapons. Not 185 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna tell you what that is, but it's gonna be severe, 186 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: and we're announcing that. Let me talk about severity, right, 187 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you you just took away most favored nation 188 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: satus from Russia. That's not severe. You just said we're 189 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: not gonna buy their alcohol, that's not severe. You just 190 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: said we're not gonna buy their seafood. That's not severe. 191 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: So what's next? Because so far we've done pretty much 192 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: nothing to really hammer Vladimir Putin. If anything, we're we're 193 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: letting him take the lead on every scenario, which also 194 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: includes the fighter jets with Poland, which has also been 195 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: another disaster. The White House, by the way, is also 196 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: really loving this conflict between Ukraine and Russia because they're 197 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: getting to use it to blame Russia for all of 198 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the problems we're having here domestically. They're getting to also 199 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: use Russia and Ukraine to implement their Green New Deal, 200 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: mandating that you submit to what it is they want 201 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: you to do with green energy. With buying an electric vehicle, 202 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got seven dollars plus the gallon gas, right, 203 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: now in California, how many people are going to look 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: at electric vehicles now a lot? And that's exactly what 205 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: they want. So if you think that this war in 206 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: Ukraine is all bad news for Joe Biden, it's not. 207 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: In many ways, it's a get out of jail free 208 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: card for them, which is also really what was admitted 209 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: by the White House Pressinger Tierry when she was asked 210 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: a question by Peter Ducey like, are you guys gonna 211 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: blame everything, all of your failures, all of your domestic 212 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: failures and Vladimir Putin until the midterms, And her honest 213 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: answer should have been hell, yeah, we are heard you 214 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: say again that you think inflation is going to be temporary. 215 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: We've heard you say that it was going to be 216 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: temporary since last spring. So how long do you guys 217 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: think of temporary? Is well, again, Peter, I think what 218 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: we do as we rely on the assessments of the 219 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve and of outside economic analysts who give an 220 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: assessment of how long will last the expectations and their 221 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: assessment at this point continues to be that it will 222 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: moderate by the end of the year. There's also no 223 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: question that when a foreign dictator invades a foreign country, 224 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: and when that foreign dictator is the head of a 225 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: country that is the third largest supplier of oil in 226 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: the in the world, that that is going to have 227 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: an impact. And it is so to that point inflation 228 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: goes up. Today. The president's statement blames the Putin price hype. 229 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Are you guys just going to start blaming Putin for 230 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: everything until the midterms? Well, and by the way, he's right, 231 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: because everything now is like blame Putin, Blame Putin, Blame Putin. 232 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: They're exploiting this tragedy that her to fit tragedy what 233 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: could very well be the start of World War three. 234 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: And I think I think if you ask Ladimir puting 235 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: those around, they would say, yeah, we started World War three. 236 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: You guys are just too stupid to realize it. You're 237 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: you're I mean, we've got gas prices hitting a record 238 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: high again five days in a row. And what are 239 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: they telling you to go by that green car? We've 240 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: been telling you we're gonna punish you until you submit 241 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:31,359 Speaker 1: to our ideology. That's what they're doing. And they understand 242 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity here. They get it. You know. Russia 243 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: also is being said, is saying now we'll fine, all right, 244 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: you all your companies that are pulling out virtue signaling, right, 245 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: the same companies are still doing work in China, which 246 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: with their human rights abuses. Yeah, we're gonna seize all 247 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: the assets left behind by the existing the exiting foreign 248 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: companies that are leaving. They they've come out and said this, 249 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: And it's so funny to see all these companies virtue 250 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: signal when the same type of atrocities are happening at 251 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: the hands of the Chinese, and child labor and forced labor, 252 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: and internment camps and death of people based on their religion. 253 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: All the things that we're witnessing Russia do right now, 254 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: they do in China. And all these companies are happy 255 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to do business in China, but they're virtue signaling now 256 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: in Russia.

Way the United States government has no 306 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: idea what's actually happening. Why is that. Let's go back 307 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: to jen Psaki for a moment. Jen Psaki understands it. 308 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: As long as Russia is the front page of the news, 309 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: they can blame everything that they've screwed up in this 310 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: country on Russia. The price of gas go up at 311 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: least seventy five cents since President Putin lines up troops 312 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: on the border of Ukraine. And last month the statement 313 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: didn't mention the Putin price that I could mentioned inflation 314 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: because of the pandemic. Why is that, Well, Peter, last year, 315 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: last two years, there was a global pandemic. Everyone who's 316 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: a global economists have all agreed that that has been 317 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: the biggest contributor to dates of inflation because of the 318 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: impact on the supply chain. Obviously, global events impact the economy, 319 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: the global economy, as well as global inflation and the 320 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: price hikes as a result that have escalated over the 321 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: course of time of President Putin's further invasion of the 322 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: impact on the global aisle markets are of course having 323 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: an impact. President Biden has hosted electric vehicle stakeholders here 324 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: at the White House. Would he host foil and gas producers, 325 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: the people who are the most affected by the Putin 326 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 1: price hike? By the way, simil question, you've got an 327 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: energy crisis, you would think, right, any man in the 328 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: right mind that runs the United States of America government 329 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: and watching what's happening would immediately say, of course, I'm 330 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: going to meet with them. Why wouldn't I We got 331 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: to figure this out because we got to undermine Vladimir Putin. 332 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: We got to make sure that this guy isn't making 333 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: more money. Like, of course we're going to do that. 334 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: Why would you? You know, it's a great question, Peter, Well, 335 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: remember they want you to be suffering right now because 336 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: you haven't done what they told you to do. You 337 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: haven't submitted to their green new ideology, their religion. So 338 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: if you think that she was going to respond with 339 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: anything outside of what she responded with which was, of course, 340 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: we're not meeting with him. We're not. There's a there's 341 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: a plan on the books to meet with the people 342 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: that make natural gas and oil that drill these companies. 343 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: Why would we do that because we like seven dollars 344 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: gallon gas, Peter, and we get to blame it on 345 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin right now, But we're gonna make you go 346 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: buy that damn car that we told you to buy. Well, 347 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: the oil and gas. I have nothing to preview or 348 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: predict for you in terms of him hosting oil company executives. 349 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: I don't have anything planned on the schedule for that front. 350 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: But I will tell you that the president has been 351 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: clear that he believes they have the tools they need 352 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: nine thousand unused permits, they have the uh, the capacity 353 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: they need to go get more oil here in the 354 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: United States, and he'd encourage them to do that. Go ahead. 355 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: Electric vehicles, You guys are pushing electric vehicles today. This 356 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: is a president who always talks about the power of 357 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: our example, does he own an electric vehicle. Presidents of 358 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: the United States don't do a lot of driving. He's 359 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: posted videos where he's riving the engine of his Corvette 360 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: and well LinkedIn Heald's cars, and he also has driven 361 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: electric vehicles as president as to give a model to 362 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the country. I love this right now. 363 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: So now you just drive an electric vehicle, and that's 364 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: model enough for the left. Right, you got to buy one, 365 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: and you can't afford the gas to put in your 366 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: car now. But we don't have to buy them because 367 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: we're rich, we're important. We play by a different set 368 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: of rules. But just no, we're cracking down, folks. We're 369 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: not screwing around anymore. We're gonna ban seafood from Russia, 370 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: and we're gonna ban alcohol from Russia Bay Gali, and 371 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: that's gonna stop all this. By the way, we're gonna 372 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: make sure that you don't remember the gas prices are 373 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: up two dollars since Biden took office. And we're gonna 374 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: blame all of that on one person as well, who 375 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna blame it on Putin. We've got what we 376 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: need to blame Putin for everything. Even MSNBC was actually 377 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: praising on TV today the brilliance of Democrats blaming Putin 378 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: for the problems that we're having in our economy, and 379 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: they also said it's a brilliant distraction, like they're not 380 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: even lying about they're just saying, like a great move, 381 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: very smart to tell the American people that Putin's the problem, 382 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: not Joe Biden. They're openly having this discussion on TV. 383 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: Oh and if you think, by the way, that we're 384 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: actually trying to fix this problem or really unite the 385 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: world against Vladimir Putin, you're wrong. You want to know 386 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: what proof I have to show you, Vice President United 387 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: it's America's who we sent to go to Warsaw to 388 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: speak with our allies. And what did she have to 389 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: say about what is happening right now in Ukraine? That 390 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: listen to this. This is a real unedited response to 391 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: a question about what's happening in Ukraine right now. We 392 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: all watched the television coverage of just yesterday. That's on 393 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: top of everything else that we know and don't know 394 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: yet based on what we've just been able to see. 395 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: And because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it 396 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: hasn't happened, but just limited to what we have seen, 397 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: pregnant women going for healthcare being injured by I don't 398 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: know Missila bum, I don't know a missile or a 399 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: bamb I don't know. This is not sending our best. 400 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: Her exact quote, I'm going to read it for you. 401 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: We all watch the television coverage just yesterday. That's on 402 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: top of everything else that we know and don't know 403 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: yet based on what we've just been able to see. 404 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: And because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it 405 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: hasn't happened. What in the hell are you talking about? 406 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: We are not sending our best. By the way, it's 407 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: the same woman that awkwardly starts laughing when asked about 408 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: Ukrainian refugee crisis. People are still trying to figure out 409 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: what was so funny, Kamala Harry. So we're not sending 410 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: our best because we're not actually trying to stop war. 411 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: War Three about some reporting that my colleague here in 412 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: Poland noticed He recently spoke with the mayor of the 413 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: largest border town, who told him that the refugee system 414 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: is essentially not set up for this, that it will collapse. 415 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: It's an improvised system that can work for maybe two weeks, 416 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: but not indefinitely. And I'm wondering what the United States 417 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: is going to do more specifically to set up a 418 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: permanent infrastructure and Relatedly, is the United States willing to 419 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees and for President Judah, 420 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to know if you think and if you 421 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: asked the United States to specifically accept more refugees. Okay, 422 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: a friend in need is a friend. Indeed, you start 423 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: awkwardly laughing when asked about a Ukrainian refugee crisis because 424 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: I think you don't know how to answer the question, 425 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: and you cackle. We're not sending our best, because we're 426 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: not trying to stop this, because I think Democrats actually 427 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: understand there is a genuine opportunity here to fundamentally change 428 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: this country and blame Putin for it all the way 429 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: until the midterms. The White House March tenth their tweet 430 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 1: when we have electric cars powered by clean energy. This 431 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: is an actual tweet. We will never have to worry 432 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: about gas prices again, and audiocrats like Putin won't be 433 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: able to use fossil fuels as weapons against our nations. 434 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: They actually tweeted this out, how anyone, how everyone missed it. 435 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: They're exploiting this death and destruction of World War three again. 436 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: White House as actual words, tweeted out, when we have 437 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: electric cars powered by clean energy. We will never have 438 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: to worry about gas prices again, won't have to worry 439 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: about people like Putin, won't be able to use fossil 440 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: fuels as weapons against our nations. So no, we're not 441 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: going to fix this problem. We're going to quickly move 442 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: forward to make sure that this problem is used to 443 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: force you to change the way you're doing things. We're 444 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: gonna exploit what is happening to the people in Ukraine, 445 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: and we're gonna let him die, and if he moves 446 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: on to another place, we'll exploit again, saying, see, we 447 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: told you you should have bought an electric car, because 448 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: if you don't, you're not trying to help the people out. 449 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: As the president on an electric car can't answer that question, 450 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what if he uses chemical weapons? Is that 451 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: a thin red line won't answer that question either. In fact, 452 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: I would argue right now, there's not a single question 453 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: that has substance that they will answer because they don't 454 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: want this to end. Revoking Most Favored Nation status from 455 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: Russia is not going to stop this war. Okay, saying 456 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: no to their vodka is saying no to their fish. 457 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: It's not going to stop this war. And I keep 458 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: asking this question because it's a question that you should 459 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: be asking yourself each and every day. When was the 460 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: last time a madman woke up one day and said, Okay, 461 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna stop? When was the last 462 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: time that happened? The Finnished Prime Minister Sonna she was 463 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: asked earlier today about what's happening over there and how 464 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: concerned she is. This is her response. I think we 465 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: have to get rid of Russian fossil fuels as soon 466 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: as possible. It's it's a very difficult situation that in 467 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: one hand we have these financial sanctions that are very hard, 468 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: but in the other hand, we are supporting and actually 469 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: financing Russia's war, purchasing oil and gas another fossil fuels 470 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: from Russia. So the situation isn't a very good one, 471 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: and we have to get rid of the fossil fuels 472 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 1: coming from Russia as soon as possible. The condition. By 473 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: the way, the rest of the world seems to be 474 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: waking up to this, understanding what she just said. The 475 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: rest of the world is understanding what we need to 476 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: do right now, and they're understanding that we need to 477 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: do it quickly and America is not doing anything quickly 478 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: because they don't mind this happening. They don't care if 479 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: people die. How do I know that. I know it 480 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: because I watched and witnessed what this administration, what Democrats 481 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: did when we were leaving Afghanistan. They don't care for 482 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: Americans die. They didn't care that our American soldiers died. Hell, 483 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: the guy was looking at his watch, Joe Biden, when 484 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: he was when accepting the bodies back of Americans who 485 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: died in that explosion at that airport in Afghanistan. We 486 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: left people behind to be slaughtered. This administration doesn't care. 487 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: But you notice how these other nations are starting to 488 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: talk with much more urgency because they're understanding what I've 489 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: been warning you about now for days. Something has changed 490 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin. This is not the guy of a 491 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: year ago. So if you're Finland right now, yeah, i'd 492 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: be scared. If I was Sweden right now, I'd be scared. 493 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: If I was Norway right now, I'd be scared. Not 494 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: because I'm Paranoi, but for good reason, because I think 495 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: that Russia's said, hey, guys, we've started World War three. 496 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: You guys are just too stupid to understand it. If 497 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: I lived in Estonia, I'd be terrified. If I lived 498 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: in Lafia, I'd be terrified. If I lived in Lithuania, 499 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: especially with belarus Is doing it, I'd be terrified. If 500 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: I was in Poland, I would be terrified. If I 501 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: was in Ukraine, I would be beyond terrified. Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czechsnia, 502 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: all of these places right now you should be terrified. 503 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Germany you're idiots. Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium you're morons. France, you're morons. 504 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: You're buying this oil from this guy, and he's coming 505 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: towards you with his tanks and with his army, and 506 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: you're too stupid to understand it, and you keep giving 507 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: him the money he needs to keep moving forward with 508 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: this war. I was asked to speak at a event 509 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: in Hungary, and if you look at Hungry, Hungry years 510 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: a border with Ukraine, and we know what's happening, and 511 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: they had to delay this event, and they may delay 512 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: it again, and I will probably go to Hungary because 513 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: I think the people in that part of the world 514 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: needs to know that America stands with him. For what 515 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: they are up against right now with Russia and Moscow. 516 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: They need to understand. And if you look at what 517 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: this what Putin is trying to do right now, notice 518 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: where he's going. He's going to the West to areas 519 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: that have value. He's not going to places like Kagistan 520 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: or Uzbekistan, right He's not going to Afghanistan or or 521 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: Georgia or are these areas per se. He's going back 522 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: to the old USSR because he sees value there. And 523 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: our president is pretty much saying, let him keep doing it, 524 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: because we've got to have something. In the Democratic Party 525 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: I think is saying let him keep doing let him 526 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: keep doing this, because the more he does it, the 527 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: more we get to blame him for stuff that we've 528 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: screwed up in our own country, and we can say 529 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: everything is the is the problem Vladimir Putin. You know, 530 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: Jen Psaki just doubled down on not sending jets to Ukraine. 531 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: Why is she doing this? Because I really don't think 532 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: they mind if Ukraine falls. If you wanted to stop 533 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: what's happening in Ukraine and you'd be doing it differently. 534 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they're this stupid either, you know, there's 535 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: some people that say they're incompetent. No, I think this 536 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: is purposeful. I think this is being done deliberately. I 537 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: really do. I think that they're looking at this and 538 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: they're saying, this is a great opportunity for us in 539 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: America to blame all of what we've screwed up in 540 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: the first year on him, and we'll use it for 541 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: the midterms, which might save us from the blood bath 542 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: of the midterms. First and foremost, and number two, we 543 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: get to implement some of our policies with a Green 544 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: New Deal because of what's happening right now with gas prices. 545 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: They are not trying to fix this. They're going to 546 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: exploit it. And if a bunch of people get thrown 547 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: into mass graves, I really think their rentality is so 548 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: be it. This is an opportunity for them, That is 549 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: how they see it, and they are going to continue 550 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: to move forward with this opportunity. Most Favored Nation status 551 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: being pulled down doesn't mean anything to Russia today watches 552 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: this continues to play out. Folks, you know we're not 553 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: serious about fighting Vladimir Putin when we actually come out 554 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: with individual names of oligarks that we're gonna really target 555 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: We're not playing at the same level the other side's playing. 556 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't care about the yachts and I don't care 557 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: about the oligarks. I care about stopping a nation. It's 558 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: trying to take back over all of what used to 559 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: be the USSR. And what are we sitting here, Well, 560 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: we're sitting here. We're going to step up the pressure 561 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: on corrupt Russian billionaires. Vladimir Putin doesn't care. We're not 562 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: playing at the same level of the game they're playing. 563 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: We're child's played down here. It's almost like we are 564 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: and I'll say it again, purposely trying to allow Putin 565 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: to keep going. So taking a further step abandoning imports 566 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: of goods from several signature sectors of the Russian economy, 567 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: including seafoods, vodka, and diamonds. And we're going to continue 568 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: to squeeze Putin. The G seven will seek to deny 569 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: Russian the ability to borrow from leading multinational institutions such 570 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. By 571 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: the way, the sluring of the words is getting worse. 572 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: I just want to say that on the record, keep 573 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: listening is an aggressor, is the aggressor, and Putin must 574 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: pay the price. He cannot pursue a war that threatens 575 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: the very foundations which he's doing, the very foundations of 576 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: international piece and stability, and then ask for financial help 577 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: from the international community. The G seven is also stepping 578 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: up pressure on corrupt Russian billionaires. We're adding new names 579 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: to the list of oligarchs and their families that we're targeting, 580 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: and we're increasing coordination among the G seven countries to 581 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: target and capture their ill begotten gains. They support Putin, 582 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: they steal from the Russian people, and they seek to 583 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: hide their money in our countries. They're part of that 584 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: kleptocracy that exist in Moscow, and they must share in 585 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: the pain of these sanctions. And while we're going after 586 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: these suit their super yachts in their vacation homes and 587 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: worth hundreds of million millions of dollars, we're also going 588 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 1: to make it harder for them to buy high end 589 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: products manufacture in our country. We're banning the export of 590 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: luxury goods to Russia. They're also the latest steps we're taking, 591 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: but they're not the last steps we're going to take. 592 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: And as I said at the beginning, of all these steps, 593 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna hit Putin harder because the United States and 594 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: our closest allies and partners are acting in unison the 595 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: totality of our sank I just I just had to say, 596 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 1: this is child's ban on Russian alcohol, seafood, and diamonds. 597 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: They don't give a crap. We're not playing this to 598 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: even act like we're winning. We're just playing it to 599 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: allow him to continue to do what he's doing. And 600 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: you have to start asking yourself the question, why why 601 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: are we getting it so? Why? Why why has this 602 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: become such an an embarrassment for us? Because they're doing 603 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: it on purpose. They don't want him to stop. We 604 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: need Vladimir Putin or the Bidens do the Biden administration 605 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: to justify their horrific, they're horrific policies in this country. 606 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: They need a cover story, and he's the guy. I 607 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: hope you'll share this podcast with your family and friends. 608 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: Hit that share button, hit that auto download or subscribe button, 609 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: and I'll see it back here tomorrow
