Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crude is just sort above one hundred and thirty dollars
- 0:03Speaker 1: a barrel. The price of oil surged, putting pressure on
- 0:07Speaker 1: gasoline prices and inflation West Texas sentiment. At crude futures,
- 0:13Speaker 1: the US benchmark rose to one hundred and thirty dollars
- 0:17Speaker 1: and fifty cents of barrel at one point in the
- 0:20Speaker 1: last several hours. That is the highest price since nineteen
- 0:25Speaker 1: eighty three. Yeah, adjusted for inflation compared to what it
- 0:32Speaker 1: was in nineteen eighty three, when it hit for a
- 0:33Speaker 1: moment one hundred and forty three dollars a barrel. In
- 0:36Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, for example, that is the highest
- 0:39Speaker 1: I should say, and adjust for inflation. However, that would
- 0:43Speaker 1: have been a one hundred and eighty six dollars a
- 0:45Speaker 1: barrel crude futures, the global benchmark was trading it as
- 0:49Speaker 1: high as one hundred and thirty nine on Sunday evening
- 0:54Speaker 1: has come back down a little bit to one twenty
- 0:56Speaker 1: six a barrel. Why is this happening? Because we are
- 0:59Speaker 1: not energy independent. We're refusing to be energy independent. This
- 1:03Speaker 1: also is Russia forces are preparing to take Ukrainians capital.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. I'll say it again, if you're
- 1:11Speaker 1: posting the Ukrainian flag on social media like you're doing something,
- 1:17Speaker 1: and you're boycotting Russian vodka like you're doing something, but
- 1:22Speaker 1: you're still going to vote for these Democrats that are
- 1:24Speaker 1: allowing for these policies to happen, and you're still going
- 1:28Speaker 1: to vote for these Democrats, and you still won't support
- 1:32Speaker 1: oil production in the United States of America, please kindly
- 1:37Speaker 1: just shut the hell up, because you are nothing but
- 1:41Speaker 1: a ridiculous virtue signaling phony. There are so many liberals
- 1:48Speaker 1: out there right now that are like, oh, I stand
- 1:51Speaker 1: with Ukraine. If if you're not in favor of supporting
- 1:54Speaker 1: us in this country, if you're not in favor of
- 1:56Speaker 1: supporting oil production in this country to take away money
- 1:59Speaker 1: from Russia, if you're not in support of helping America
- 2:05Speaker 1: take on Russia. And you sit there and you're like, oh, well,
- 2:09Speaker 1: I've got you know this is And again, if you
- 2:12Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump, good for you. You're standing with
- 2:19Speaker 1: the people of Ukraine. Have you voted for this guy
- 2:22Speaker 1: right now? You're supporting this Thousands of Ukrainian children are
- 2:30Speaker 1: sleeping and makeshift shelters are walking twenty thirty forty fifty
- 2:35Speaker 1: sixty seventy miles. And why did this happen. It's pretty
- 2:41Speaker 1: simple because eighty one million low information liberal voters in
- 2:47Speaker 1: America didn't like a man's tweets. If that offends you,
- 2:52Speaker 1: I don't care. And do not be fooled by the media.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Do not be fooled by the world leaders who are
- 2:59Speaker 1: acting like they're doing something right now by seizing yachts
- 3:03Speaker 1: and taking assets or freezing assets of oligarchs. It's not
- 3:07Speaker 1: doing anything to stop Vladimir Putin. You want to stop
- 3:12Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, you stop buying foreign oil. You stop buying
- 3:16Speaker 1: that oil from Russia. For the first time since two
- 3:19Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Remember who was the present then it
- 3:21Speaker 1: was Yeah, you guessed it, Barack Obama. Gas prices have
- 3:26Speaker 1: hit four hours a gallon nationwide. They're gonna go up
- 3:29Speaker 1: this week, will be close to hitting five dollars a
- 3:31Speaker 1: gallon nationwide. You want to know who did that? The
- 3:36Speaker 1: White House? The White House did that. Their policies have
- 3:42Speaker 1: allowed for Vladimir Putin to continue moving forward. Now, Biden
- 3:47Speaker 1: energy policy is tanking America. We know that as a
- 3:50Speaker 1: national gas price of gas has reached an average four
- 3:53Speaker 1: hours agallon for the first time since so eight, and
- 3:56Speaker 1: he's still refusing to open the Keystone pipeline. California is
- 4:02Speaker 1: now hitting five hours and twenty eight cents a gallon.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Bunch of liberals out there, you kind of deserve it.
- 4:07Speaker 1: You voted for this guy. This is what you get
- 4:10Speaker 1: when you say, oh, I'm not voting for somebody because
- 4:12Speaker 1: I don't like his tweets. You're welcome you did this.
- 4:19Speaker 1: This morning, the national average price for a gallon of
- 4:23Speaker 1: gasoline has skyrocketed to the highest national level in fourteen years.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Had a forty jump per gallon since last week, and
- 4:34Speaker 1: they're expecting this week it can be as high as
- 4:36Speaker 1: seventy five cents in a week, fifty seven cent increase
- 4:42Speaker 1: from just a month ago. On March the sixth of
- 4:46Speaker 1: last year. To put it in perspective for you, price
- 4:49Speaker 1: has averaged two hours and seventy six cents per gallon nationally.
- 4:55Speaker 1: The national average is the highest has been since July
- 4:58Speaker 1: of eight. That month, gas prices averages max at at
- 5:02Speaker 1: four eleven, which was an all time record and it
- 5:05Speaker 1: was under Obama. States in the West coast and the
- 5:09Speaker 1: Northeast are seeing the highest prices in the country. Triple
- 5:11Speaker 1: A penn California's average gas price at five dollars and
- 5:15Speaker 1: twenty eight cents a gallon right now, while neighboring Liberals
- 5:19Speaker 1: states including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, all had average prices of
- 5:23Speaker 1: over four forty a gallon, highest ever on record. Additionally,
- 5:28Speaker 1: in Northeast States, another liberal state Maryland Delaware up through Maine,
- 5:33Speaker 1: their averages have exceeded well over four hours a gallon
- 5:35Speaker 1: as well. According to Triple A GOP representive Mike Rodgers Alabama,
- 5:40Speaker 1: the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, so
- 5:44Speaker 1: that prices have jumped because of the Russian invasion Ukraine.
- 5:48Speaker 1: The fact is, and this is true of all of
- 5:51Speaker 1: our listeners, he said on a local news talk station, saying, quote,
- 5:54Speaker 1: our gas prices are going up because of what's happening Ukraine,
- 5:58Speaker 1: because of the disruptive nature it has had on the
- 6:01Speaker 1: energy sector period. He went on to call for reopening
- 6:04Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline so Americans can begin producing its
- 6:08Speaker 1: own oil again. He said, quote, and when we stop
- 6:11Speaker 1: buying Russian oil, it will go up even more. It
- 6:14Speaker 1: is going to be painful, but we should not be
- 6:16Speaker 1: giving money to Russia to kill Ukrainians in this illegal war.
- 6:21Speaker 1: What we need to be doing is reopening drilling on
- 6:23Speaker 1: federal lands, reopening the XL pipeline that Biden stopped when
- 6:27Speaker 1: he agreed to open the North Stream two pipeline from Russia.
- 6:31Speaker 1: We've got a lot of resources in this country. We
- 6:33Speaker 1: can dramatically increase our production natural gas and oil and
- 6:36Speaker 1: be self sustaining. But he's still not willing to do that,
- 6:39Speaker 1: so not willing to have the strength to tell the
- 6:41Speaker 1: environmental climate change lobbyists that we've got to do this
- 6:44Speaker 1: because he's on the cut and they will cut off
- 6:50Speaker 1: his power. When he took the presidency, he made this
- 6:55Speaker 1: deal and now we're paying a price for it. And
- 6:57Speaker 1: also all the things that are about to happen, as
- 7:00Speaker 1: far as the highest energy prices can be remedied here
- 7:03Speaker 1: at home. If he'll just have the will and the
- 7:06Speaker 1: leadership to make the decisions to make this happen, he
- 7:10Speaker 1: could do it, but he's not. Rogers and others are
- 7:15Speaker 1: calling on Biden to open up domestical production. The Biden
- 7:19Speaker 1: administration has not been keen on that solution. While peering
- 7:22Speaker 1: on MSNBC's Eleventh Hour, the Secretary of Transportation. Transportation Secretary
- 7:27Speaker 1: Mayor Pete said opening the pipeline would be galloping after
- 7:32Speaker 1: quote permanent solutions to immediate short term problems. So apparently
- 7:38Speaker 1: they don't want to actually fix any of these problems.
- 7:40Speaker 1: They want you to suffer. Now, I want you to
- 7:46Speaker 1: really think about where we are. We're buying oil twenty
- 7:50Speaker 1: five million or more today alone from Vladimir Putin, while
- 7:55Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is slaughtering the people in Ukraine. We are
- 8:01Speaker 1: funding this war. This president is funding this war. We
- 8:07Speaker 1: could stop funding this war if we would just wake
- 8:11Speaker 1: up and say no more. If the President would say,
- 8:14Speaker 1: we've got to start drilling here, We've got to open
- 8:17Speaker 1: up the Keystone pipeline, if he would just say this
- 8:20Speaker 1: is clearly a national security issue, which it clearly is
- 8:23Speaker 1: a national security issue. We all know it is, but
- 8:28Speaker 1: he is refusing to change it because he is beholden
- 8:34Speaker 1: to the hardcore leftist activists and the global warming community.
- 8:42Speaker 1: There's a very good chance because the West hasn't gotten
- 8:45Speaker 1: our act together, NATO has not gotten their act together,
- 8:49Speaker 1: the UN has not gotten their act together. The Vladimir
- 8:52Speaker 1: Putin will not stop in Ukraine. He will go further.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Ukrainian parliament member was warning the world all of that
- 9:00Speaker 1: this morning. Take a listens off. And one of the
- 9:03Speaker 1: things that's held up the delivery of planes to Ukraine
- 9:06Speaker 1: is that NATO clearly is concerned about this war spreading
- 9:10Speaker 1: beyond Ukraine's border. In interviews, you've said that's already going
- 9:13Speaker 1: to happen, that NATO shouldn't fool itself, that this can
- 9:17Speaker 1: be contained to the country, the territorial country of Ukraine.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Can you explain why you think NATO might be misreading
- 9:25Speaker 1: Russia here, Well, let's look at it this way. Putin
- 9:30Speaker 1: already said that he doesn't like Poland and Hungary nature.
- 9:34Speaker 1: We do remember that weeks leading to the war, he
- 9:36Speaker 1: was making statements that he doesn't just want Ukraine to
- 9:40Speaker 1: claim it's neutrality. Though even that is a lie because
- 9:43Speaker 1: he attacked us in two fourteen when we were fision
- 9:46Speaker 1: in neutral state. So this is just a Borgus argument
- 9:49Speaker 1: that he is making up. But at the same time,
- 9:51Speaker 1: he was also saying that he wants nature to return
- 9:54Speaker 1: to its borders prior to twenty years before. That means
- 9:59Speaker 1: that he wants voland out of nature, that he wants
- 10:01Speaker 1: hunger out of nature, that he wants the Baltic states
- 10:04Speaker 1: out of nature, and that is why those countries are
- 10:07Speaker 1: now extremely concerned and are so supportive of Ukraine's efforts
- 10:10Speaker 1: to fight back against that, because, let's imagine, worst case scenario,
- 10:14Speaker 1: he devastates the whole land of Ukraine, he kills everyone
- 10:18Speaker 1: in here, and he gets close to eastern border of Poland.
- 10:22Speaker 1: We have to understand that he will go in there.
- 10:25Speaker 1: He is crazy enough to do that. So what we're
- 10:27Speaker 1: asking to do now is just help us fight him
- 10:30Speaker 1: on our territory. We do already have a war here.
- 10:33Speaker 1: We are just asking to avoid many casualties that can
- 10:37Speaker 1: proceed further because he will not stop. There is nothing
- 10:41Speaker 1: to stop him. Is completely out of his mind. He
- 10:44Speaker 1: has nothing left to that is human in him, and
- 10:47Speaker 1: he will go further if he has not stopped here. Yeah,
- 10:50Speaker 1: I go back to what I was saying back at Seapack,
- 10:52Speaker 1: and I said this on the radio. I believe that
- 10:55Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is genuinely acting off a different timeline. The
- 10:59Speaker 1: way that he is acting right now is not normal.
- 11:03Speaker 1: As one you know person put it, Michael mcfoley said,
- 11:07Speaker 1: nobody supports this war. This war is stupid. Yet we're
- 11:11Speaker 1: sitting back and we're not doing a whole lot right now.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in touch with lots of Russians through intermediaries,
- 11:19Speaker 1: Jonathan Lemier said, and he said, they all say this
- 11:21Speaker 1: is stupid. All the majority of Russian people, they do
- 11:24Speaker 1: not want this. I've talked to several people, by the way,
- 11:28Speaker 1: over the weekend in Russia. They're saying the same thing
- 11:30Speaker 1: to me, like the Russian people are not in favor
- 11:33Speaker 1: of what's happening right now. This is Vladimir Putin. This
- 11:36Speaker 1: is not normal. They don't understand this. And this goes
- 11:40Speaker 1: back to what I said, it's epact. There's something different
- 11:43Speaker 1: about Vladimir Putin right now. I don't know if it's
- 11:46Speaker 1: a medical condition that's changed his timeline in life, but
- 11:51Speaker 1: this is not how Vladimir Putin traditionally operates. This is
- 11:57Speaker 1: a different timeline and it's a manifest destiny to put
- 12:02Speaker 1: back the USSR. And I do believe that that Ukrainian
- 12:04Speaker 1: member of parliament you just heard from is absolutely right
- 12:08Speaker 1: in what she just said. I don't think he's going
- 12:11Speaker 1: to stop there, because if he realizes that NATO's not
- 12:13Speaker 1: going to do anything, I mean, you have Zelensky begging
- 12:17Speaker 1: to help start, you know, to put up a no
- 12:19Speaker 1: flies I'm begging the United Nations because they're gonna lose
- 12:22Speaker 1: their country this week. They are what we're witnessing right
- 12:27Speaker 1: now from It's going to happen Ukrainian. A Ukrainian member
- 12:34Speaker 1: of parliament says there has to be a no flies
- 12:37Speaker 1: one in Ukraine and if there's not, then it's game over.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Listen to what she had to say from Kiev, Kiev,
- 12:43Speaker 1: I should say this morning saying there's nothing I can
- 12:46Speaker 1: do to protect myself from the missiles that are coming
- 12:48Speaker 1: from the air. And she is right. The breaking news
- 12:51Speaker 1: Russians bombing cities across Ukraine. Ukrainians say that includes evacuation
- 12:56Speaker 1: roots or civilians. Despite please from Ukrainian President of a
- 12:59Speaker 1: lot of the Zelenski, the Biden administration has opposed a
- 13:02Speaker 1: no fly zone because it says that enforcing a no
- 13:05Speaker 1: fly zone would likely mean a direct military conflict between
- 13:08Speaker 1: the US and Russia. Joining me now as someone who
- 13:11Speaker 1: would like to see a no fly zone imposed over Ukraine,
- 13:14Speaker 1: Kira Ruddick. She is a member of the Ukrainian Parliament
- 13:17Speaker 1: and the leader of the Golos Party. Kira, thank you
- 13:20Speaker 1: so much for being with us again. I'm wondering how
- 13:23Speaker 1: you hear you hear this argument coming from the US,
- 13:27Speaker 1: coming from NATO countries, they say they enforce this no
- 13:30Speaker 1: fly zone and then you end up with World War three.
- 13:33Speaker 1: What do you say to that, Well, I'm saying to
- 13:37Speaker 1: that that it's an illusion that this war has not
- 13:40Speaker 1: begun yet. We already see that. The question here is
- 13:45Speaker 1: is NATO able to protect themselves and able to stop
- 13:50Speaker 1: Putium or NATO is not able to do that. And
- 13:53Speaker 1: what we see right now this tentativeness, these questions, attempts
- 14:00Speaker 1: to not be involved in the conflict. They are just
- 14:03Speaker 1: showing that Putin can do whatever he wants. Look, thirty
- 14:07Speaker 1: years ago Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum and we gave
- 14:10Speaker 1: up our nuclear weapons. We gave them up for the
- 14:14Speaker 1: security guarantees that US included NATO gave us. And right
- 14:19Speaker 1: now we when we are asking for the protection, we
- 14:22Speaker 1: are hearing, oh, we don't want to do to be involved.
- 14:25Speaker 1: We don't want to be in this conflict. By the way,
- 14:28Speaker 1: when everybody's obsessed with nuclear you know, pull downs. You
- 14:35Speaker 1: look at Ukraine, this would not have happened in Ukraine.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I truly believe that if they had nuclear weapons, they
- 14:43Speaker 1: gave them up and the world said, oh, if you
- 14:45Speaker 1: give them up, then we're going to help you. We're
- 14:48Speaker 1: going to protect you. Right if you give them up,
- 14:50Speaker 1: we're going to protect you. If you give them up,
- 14:54Speaker 1: we're going to protect you. I wouldn't give up my
- 14:58Speaker 1: nuclear weapons and trust countries that have presents that change
- 15:02Speaker 1: every four years. Look at what happened in Afghanistan. I
- 15:05Speaker 1: wouldn't trust the United States of America ever again. Because
- 15:09Speaker 1: you may have a great policy under a guy like
- 15:12Speaker 1: Donald Trump who would not let this happen, and then
- 15:15Speaker 1: you get a guy like Joe Biden, you get a
- 15:18Speaker 1: guy like Barack Obama, you get a Jimmy Carter that's elected,
- 15:23Speaker 1: and this is what happens. You get what you pay
- 15:27Speaker 1: for him when you elect a president that is incompetent.
- 15:31Speaker 1: But the people of Ukraine deserve better than what they're
- 15:34Speaker 1: getting right now. The country was promised by the world
- 15:38Speaker 1: that they gave up their nuclear weapons, we would protect them,
- 15:42Speaker 1: and everything that we have done has been too late,
- 15:47Speaker 1: too delayed. We should have put the sanctions on putting
- 15:49Speaker 1: before he invaded. We didn't. We should have given them
- 15:52Speaker 1: everything they needed militarily before and the airplanes they need
- 15:55Speaker 1: to protect their airspace because we knew that they were
- 15:58Speaker 1: going to have air superiority Russia that is over Ukraine.
- 16:01Speaker 1: We didn't do it. We should have had NATO countries
- 16:05Speaker 1: and we should have had a conversation given them the
- 16:07Speaker 1: green light to send in fighter jets to Ukraine to
- 16:09Speaker 1: protect the no fly zone. We didn't do it. Everything
- 16:13Speaker 1: this administration has done has been after the fact. Vladimir
- 16:17Speaker 1: Putin is committing war crimes, and this president still will
- 16:20Speaker 1: not say that he's committing war crimes. And if you
- 16:24Speaker 1: think that Vladimir Putin canna stop with Ukraine, you're crazy.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Anthony blinkoln has come out what I mean, what an
- 16:30Speaker 1: empty suit Secretary of State. He's now saying that the
- 16:34Speaker 1: United States has given the green light to NATO countries
- 16:37Speaker 1: who have wanted to provide fighter jets to Ukraine. By
- 16:40Speaker 1: the time these fighter get jets get there, it's gonna
- 16:43Speaker 1: be over folks. This is this is again another example
- 16:46Speaker 1: of virtue signaling. It's the same stupid thing I see
- 16:48Speaker 1: in this country right now. All these people you know,
- 16:51Speaker 1: putting up these pictures on social media with Ukrainian flag
- 16:55Speaker 1: and there that these same morons that voted for Joe
- 16:57Speaker 1: Biden to the same idiots that said, oh I don't
- 17:00Speaker 1: like mean tweets. Now, where did that get us? They're
- 17:02Speaker 1: the same people that refuse to admit that we need
- 17:04Speaker 1: to be energy independent and support people like this administration
- 17:08Speaker 1: when they say things like, wow, we don't want to
- 17:09Speaker 1: permanent solution this problem with that with gas prices. We
- 17:13Speaker 1: don't need a permanent solution because a permanent solution would
- 17:15Speaker 1: take away too much power from places like Venezuela, places
- 17:19Speaker 1: like Iran, places like Russia. We keep giving money these leaders.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Biden is begging, Let's be very clear right now, Iran,
- 17:30Speaker 1: Venezuela and Opec for oil rather than producing our own,
- 17:34Speaker 1: straight up evil and completely intentional. It's also completely incompetent.
- 17:39Speaker 1: But it is a fact that Biden is begging Iran,
- 17:42Speaker 1: Venezuela and Opec, the people that hate us the most
- 17:45Speaker 1: and want to kill us. Okay, the people that want
- 17:48Speaker 1: to kill us, the people that hate us the most,
- 17:51Speaker 1: begging for oil. Anthony Blincoln on face the nation listen
- 17:56Speaker 1: to this. Vladimir Putinas has said that sanctions amount to
- 18:01Speaker 1: a declaration of war. They are impacting his economy, but
- 18:05Speaker 1: they're not stopping his military. When will sanctions stop the fight, Margaret?
- 18:11Speaker 1: The impact of the sanctions is already devastating, which is
- 18:14Speaker 1: presumably why he said what he said. But at the
- 18:17Speaker 1: same time, we continue to see President Putin doubling down
- 18:21Speaker 1: and digging in on this aggression against Ukraine that's continuing.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I think we have to be prepared, unfortunately tragically, for
- 18:29Speaker 1: this to go on for some time. NATO has said
- 18:32Speaker 1: for some time. You hear that it's gonna go on
- 18:35Speaker 1: for some time. All right, So you guys are admitting
- 18:38Speaker 1: now that we're going to have one hundred and thirty
- 18:42Speaker 1: barrel gas. We're gonna keep funding the war against Ukrainians
- 18:45Speaker 1: by buying oil from Russia directly, which is funding their war,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and they need more. They don't have enough guns right
- 18:51Speaker 1: now in Ukraine. We could fix that problem overnight if
- 18:53Speaker 1: we wanted to. We're not. We're not even giving them targeting,
- 18:57Speaker 1: which we should be giving the Ukrainian people. I would argue,
- 19:00Speaker 1: we need to let them know what's happening in their country.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We could easily give them what they need when it
- 19:04Speaker 1: comes to targeting. We could give them target coordinates. We
- 19:08Speaker 1: could tell the people in Ukraine where the Russians are
- 19:11Speaker 1: at least so they could go kill the Russians. But
- 19:14Speaker 1: we're not doing that. Either. These are the same Russians
- 19:16Speaker 1: that had no problem or an entire time Afghanistan Iraq
- 19:19Speaker 1: helping kill Americans. Do not ever forget that they were
- 19:23Speaker 1: had no problem. They had no issue giving advice, giving intel,
- 19:30Speaker 1: giving information to kill American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- 19:34Speaker 1: They have no problem doing that. But we're sitting here
- 19:37Speaker 1: holding back intel that could help save innocent people's lives
- 19:40Speaker 1: in Ukraine because we're afraid of Vladimir Putin, because this
- 19:45Speaker 1: president is they was. This president won't even drill in America.
- 19:49Speaker 1: We're still buying oil from this guy, subsidizing the slaughtering
- 19:52Speaker 1: of the people in Ukraine. None of its thirty members
- 19:55Speaker 1: are willing to set up a no fly zone. President
- 19:57Speaker 1: Biden has been very clear he has no interest in
- 19:59Speaker 1: that combat troops. But what more can the United States
- 20:03Speaker 1: do here? If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member,
- 20:07Speaker 1: wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green
- 20:10Speaker 1: light from the US? Or you were afraid that that
- 20:12Speaker 1: will escalate tension. No, that that gets a green light.
- 20:17Speaker 1: In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now
- 20:21Speaker 1: about what we might be able to do to backfill
- 20:23Speaker 1: their needs if in fact they choose to provide these
- 20:26Speaker 1: fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What can we do, How
- 20:29Speaker 1: can we help to make sure that they get something
- 20:32Speaker 1: to backfill the planes that they're handing over to the Ukrainians.
- 20:35Speaker 1: We're in very active discussions with them about that. Look,
- 20:37Speaker 1: I've been in Europe the last couple of days, working closely,
- 20:41Speaker 1: as always with our allies and partners at NATO, the
- 20:44Speaker 1: European Union, the G seven countries, and all of us
- 20:48Speaker 1: together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure
- 20:51Speaker 1: on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very
- 20:55Speaker 1: actively under discussion and will be implemented in the coming days,
- 21:00Speaker 1: as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians
- 21:04Speaker 1: what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I love this. We're what two weeks into this war
- 21:09Speaker 1: and we're now talking about getting them what they need
- 21:11Speaker 1: to defend themselves. It's almost like they're doing everything you
- 21:15Speaker 1: can to make sure that the country falls isn't it.
- 21:18Speaker 1: It's almost like they're doing everything it can to make
- 21:20Speaker 1: sure that the people fail. I mean, if you really
- 21:24Speaker 1: listen to what this administration is doing, they're they're they're
- 21:27Speaker 1: coming up late every single time. It's almost like they're
- 21:29Speaker 1: coming up late on purpose. Tell me I'm wrong on
- 21:33Speaker 1: this one. Tell me I'm wrong. Every single thing that
- 21:38Speaker 1: they just talked about, every single thing they just said,
- 21:41Speaker 1: every single bit of it seems to be consistent with
- 21:44Speaker 1: what they've been doing. Now from the very beginning. We'll
- 21:48Speaker 1: act like we're doing something. Once we know it's too
- 21:50Speaker 1: late to do it, once we know it'll have no
- 21:52Speaker 1: impact on what's actually happening on the ground, that's when
- 21:56Speaker 1: we'll do it. That's when we'll pull the trigger. That's
- 21:58Speaker 1: when we'll have the converse. That's when we'll talk. Now,
- 22:03Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna get them what they need that
- 22:05Speaker 1: they may not need it anymore because they've been totally
- 22:08Speaker 1: overtaken as a nation. You know, there's been a scary
- 22:12Speaker 1: conversation that I've been hearing about which also makes me
- 22:15Speaker 1: extremely angry, and that is apparently we're trying to figure
- 22:18Speaker 1: out who we're gonna point if Zelenski's captured or killed.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Does that sound like we're really backing that guy. Remember,
- 22:24Speaker 1: Zelenski is not liked by this president. It's very personal.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Zelenski's the guy that backed up Donald Trump on that
- 22:29Speaker 1: phone call saying there was nothing wrong with that phone call.
- 22:32Speaker 1: The phone call they impeach the president over, Remember that
- 22:35Speaker 1: that was Zelenski. Zelenski's a guy that was looking at
- 22:39Speaker 1: a corruption of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. If you
- 22:42Speaker 1: if you think that Joe Biden has really wanted to
- 22:45Speaker 1: back up Zelenski right now, you're wrong. That's the reason
- 22:48Speaker 1: why you're hearing what you're hearing right now from Zelenski.
- 22:51Speaker 1: It's exactly the reason why. The only reason why you're
- 22:53Speaker 1: hearing what you're hearing from Zelenski right now. What Zelenski
- 22:57Speaker 1: has decided to do right well, what Ki has moved
- 23:01Speaker 1: has moved forward with is abundantly clear administrations wanting him
- 23:10Speaker 1: to hang out to drive. I think they'd rather have
- 23:12Speaker 1: somebody else there in charge, even if it's a puppet
- 23:14Speaker 1: to putin. They just want this to kind of, you know,
- 23:17Speaker 1: go away. They don't want there to be any real
- 23:21Speaker 1: fight from the people in Ukraine. If they did, they
- 23:24Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing everything they're doing. Delayed by weeks on end,
- 23:26Speaker 1: after they've already invaded. We've got twenty thousand. We've been
- 23:31Speaker 1: told foreigners who showed up to fight on behalf of
- 23:33Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people and the problem is they don't even
- 23:36Speaker 1: have guns for them. We could fix that problem in
- 23:37Speaker 1: two seconds, but we're not. You know, we could have
- 23:42Speaker 1: a no fly zone that NATO could do, but no,
- 23:45Speaker 1: we're not going to do it. There's some country saying,
- 23:48Speaker 1: let us do the no fly zone, just give us airplanes.
- 23:50Speaker 1: We need to do it, and we're not doing it.
- 23:52Speaker 1: We keep delaying, and we keep pausing. And the question
- 23:57Speaker 1: is why why do we keep delaying and why do
- 24:00Speaker 1: we keep pausing, Because it's almost like we are okay
- 24:03Speaker 1: with the whole entire country being massacred and and we're
- 24:08Speaker 1: okay with it. For whatever reason that is because they
- 24:12Speaker 1: don't want to what become energy independent in America, or
- 24:16Speaker 1: maybe it's just because and I think there's a very
- 24:18Speaker 1: good chance what I'm about to say is totally accurate.
- 24:21Speaker 1: It could be as simple as Joe Biden doesn't like
- 24:25Speaker 1: Zelenski and Joe Biden wants Zelenski to die or be
- 24:30Speaker 1: captured by the Russians so they can put in their
- 24:33Speaker 1: new guy, who then can be a puppet for Putin.
- 24:36Speaker 1: And at least we got rid of the guy that
- 24:38Speaker 1: was investigating his son. Because everything we're doing right now, well,
- 24:44Speaker 1: what we're not doing right now is very clear to
- 24:46Speaker 1: undermine Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, and undermine Zelenski. That's a fact,
- 24:54Speaker 1: all right. Lastly, please make sure you hit that subscribe
