Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / America Last: Biden puts Ukraine AHEAD of East Palestine!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is going to cost you billions of dollars our
- 0:04Speaker 1: new commitment to Ukraine and the war against Russia. This
- 0:09Speaker 1: after the United Kingdom had their Prime Minister come out
- 0:12Speaker 1: saying it's time for the world to stand up. And
- 0:15Speaker 1: then what happened. Clearly this was all choreographed orchestrated. The
- 0:20Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, shows
- 0:23Speaker 1: up in Ukraine. Now the uk knew that they needed
- 0:27Speaker 1: to play a role and probably give the presents some
- 0:30Speaker 1: cover acting like, hey, we're really leading this way, So
- 0:34Speaker 1: America doesn't want to look like we're leading per se,
- 0:38Speaker 1: because we as a country are very concerned about us
- 0:41Speaker 1: getting into another war. We also have seen that the
- 0:44Speaker 1: poll numbers have showed the majority of Americans are not
- 0:47Speaker 1: in favor of getting into a war with Russia through Ukraine,
- 0:53Speaker 1: a proxy war. We're afraid of leading also on going
- 0:58Speaker 1: into a war pole whole numbers clearly show us that
- 1:01Speaker 1: as well. Why because we saw what happened after we
- 1:04Speaker 1: went into Iraq in Afghanistan. So this is why this
- 1:08Speaker 1: rollout clearly seems to be different, and this was orchestrated.
- 1:13Speaker 1: This was not an accident. Ukraine says we need help.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The UK comes out says yes, then France says yes,
- 1:24Speaker 1: and then Germany says yes. And then the President of
- 1:28Speaker 1: the United States of America shows up in Ukraine. That
- 1:32Speaker 1: is all done purpose fleet, that is all a orchestrated
- 1:38Speaker 1: How do we sell this? And I'm sure Joe Biden said, Look,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I cannot look like I am the one that is leading.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I need someone else to lead. It also shows how
- 1:48Speaker 1: weak our president actually is. But in this scenario, there
- 1:52Speaker 1: is some pretty smart politics that's playing into this. Now.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the UK Prime Minister
- 2:00Speaker 1: I had to say over the weekend, calling for the
- 2:03Speaker 1: world to come behind Ukraine, stand with Ukraine. We must
- 2:09Speaker 1: help Ukraine to shield its cities from Russian bombs and
- 2:12Speaker 1: Iranian drones. And that's why the United Kingdom will be
- 2:16Speaker 1: the first country to provide Ukraine with longer range weapons.
- 2:21Speaker 1: And it's why we're working with our allies to give
- 2:24Speaker 1: Ukraine the most advanced air defense systems and build the
- 2:29Speaker 1: air force they need to defend their nation. But to
- 2:32Speaker 1: win the peace, we also need to rebuild the international
- 2:37Speaker 1: order on which our collective security depends. First, that means
- 2:42Speaker 1: upholding international law the whole world must hold Russia to account.
- 2:48Speaker 1: We must see justice through the ICC for their sickening
- 2:52Speaker 1: war crimes committed, whether in Bucha, Urpan, Mariopol or beyond.
- 2:59Speaker 1: And Russia must all be held to account for the
- 3:01Speaker 1: terrible destruction it is inflicted. This was not an accident.
- 3:09Speaker 1: This president knows what he's doing. He's leading by not leading,
- 3:14Speaker 1: he's calling in favors. Hey, we'll do this, and I'll
- 3:19Speaker 1: go to Ukraine and I'll go to Kiev and I'll
- 3:21Speaker 1: talk about how important it is. But I just need
- 3:24Speaker 1: someone else to say we're gonna do it. First. Now,
- 3:27Speaker 1: before I get into more of that, I want to
- 3:28Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick.
- 3:31Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone, then you need to
- 3:33Speaker 1: make the switch to the only Christian conservative cell phone
- 3:36Speaker 1: coming to the US. Why because when you pay your
- 3:38Speaker 1: bill and every time you make a phone call or
- 3:40Speaker 1: send a text message, you're supporting conservative Christian causes that
- 3:44Speaker 1: you believe in. If you are fed up with woke
- 3:47Speaker 1: companies that don't care about your values, then stand with
- 3:51Speaker 1: a company that actually does make the switch. Today, you're
- 3:54Speaker 1: going to get a free month of service plus free
- 3:57Speaker 1: activation with Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative
- 4:02Speaker 1: wireless provider. They use the same towers that you're on
- 4:05Speaker 1: right now. You get to keep your same phone many
- 4:07Speaker 1: times and your same phone number. Plus they defend and
- 4:12Speaker 1: protector First and Second Amendment rights. They also make sure
- 4:15Speaker 1: they send up for the unborn. They offer nationwide coverage,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and they are an amazing company. When you pay your bill,
- 4:22Speaker 1: you are supporting what you believe in. Now, right now,

- 4:44Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben. Let's Patriot Mobile dot
- 4:49Speaker 1: com slash ben. Now, a lot of what the UK
- 4:54Speaker 1: has just put out means that they're going to be
- 4:57Speaker 1: in this conflict and let's just call it what it
- 4:59Speaker 1: is now war for a long time. Same with France,
- 5:02Speaker 1: same with Germany. But who's going to really flit the bill.
- 5:04Speaker 1: It's going to be the United States of America and
- 5:08Speaker 1: the UK love saying what they said, right we're going
- 5:11Speaker 1: to become the first state to hand Ukraine longer range weapons.
- 5:16Speaker 1: So it does look like we're really leading again. The
- 5:20Speaker 1: UK loving taking this credit because America doesn't want this
- 5:23Speaker 1: credit at this moment. In these comments made on Saturday,
- 5:27Speaker 1: as the President's trip had already clearly been planned to
- 5:31Speaker 1: go to Ukraine, you also had a conference, a Munich
- 5:34Speaker 1: security conference. Germany and France have come together and said
- 5:40Speaker 1: we're going to get involved. The United Kingdom quote is
- 5:43Speaker 1: ready to help any country to provide Ukraine planes they
- 5:47Speaker 1: need today, but we must also train Ukrainian pilots to
- 5:51Speaker 1: use advanced jets. Is what was said by the Prime Minister. Now,
- 5:56Speaker 1: this escalation comes at a precarious moment for Krane's western backers.
- 6:02Speaker 1: This goes into the politics. The US Secretary of State
- 6:05Speaker 1: Anthony Blincoln over the weekend express concern that the communists
- 6:09Speaker 1: China are also considering graduating from providing rhetorical, political and
- 6:14Speaker 1: diplomatic support to Russia to providing lethal support to Russia,
- 6:19Speaker 1: a move which would have quote serious consequences for our
- 6:22Speaker 1: relations with China. That is what was said by Blincoln. Now,
- 6:27Speaker 1: to be clear, why would China want to get involved
- 6:31Speaker 1: Why would China want to back Russia. Why would China
- 6:35Speaker 1: want to escalate this war? I can answer that question
- 6:39Speaker 1: for you. It's called a distraction. If the United States
- 6:43Speaker 1: of America can get bogged down in another type of
- 6:45Speaker 1: war like we saw in Afghanistan at this time in Ukraine,
- 6:49Speaker 1: and they can get China to be are the world
- 6:53Speaker 1: to be distracted from what China's doing in Taiwan and
- 6:57Speaker 1: every other shady thing they're doing. This is a great
- 7:01Speaker 1: thing for China. What China learned after nine to eleven
- 7:04Speaker 1: is you can get a lot done if the world's
- 7:06Speaker 1: not paying attention. You can do a lot of things.
- 7:09Speaker 1: If the world's not paying attention, you can do egregious
- 7:12Speaker 1: things like build islands in the middle of the ocean, right,
- 7:15Speaker 1: build them up without people caring what you're doing. If
- 7:20Speaker 1: you are distracted by what's happening somewhere else and they
- 7:24Speaker 1: need another distraction. I think China understands also something that's
- 7:29Speaker 1: very important, and that is this, They have become the
- 7:32Speaker 1: center of attention of the United States of America and others,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and they don't like that. They do not want to
- 7:39Speaker 1: be the focal point of America. They don't want to
- 7:42Speaker 1: be the focal point of Europe and they sure as
- 7:44Speaker 1: hell don't want to be the focal point of sanctions.
- 7:48Speaker 1: So what is China decided to do? I mean, how
- 7:50Speaker 1: look at TikTok now for example, where there's been a
- 7:52Speaker 1: lot of talk over TikTok lately, and just how you
- 7:57Speaker 1: know this is a spying apparatus basically for the Chinese
- 8:00Speaker 1: Communist Party, they need a distraction so they can continue
- 8:04Speaker 1: to expand globally the way that they are expanding globally.
- 8:07Speaker 1: How do you do that? You get the world focused
- 8:10Speaker 1: on Ukraine. This benefits I would argue China more than
- 8:14Speaker 1: anyone else. Now, let's also talk about what Russia is
- 8:18Speaker 1: getting out of this. They're very happy, Okay, Russia is
- 8:22Speaker 1: extremely happy. Russia is extremely proud. Right, Russia is beyond
- 8:29Speaker 1: excited over what's happening because they're now getting allies that
- 8:35Speaker 1: they desperately need in their country. Their number one ally
- 8:41Speaker 1: is now going to end up being China and Iran. China,
- 8:46Speaker 1: Iran and Russia all have things they can use from
- 8:49Speaker 1: one another. Iran would love to have more nuclear information
- 8:52Speaker 1: from Russia and also from China. They need technology, they
- 8:56Speaker 1: need weaponry and these are just and they also need
- 9:00Speaker 1: protection in the Middle East. This would check all of
- 9:03Speaker 1: those boxes. What does Russia need from China. Russia needs weaponry,
- 9:08Speaker 1: advanced weaponry, and they also need intelligence, not just intelligence gathering. Okay,
- 9:15Speaker 1: understand that, not just Russian intelligence, but they also need
- 9:20Speaker 1: literal technology from Russia. A Russian needs it from China desperately,
- 9:26Speaker 1: so they're getting something out of this. And then when
- 9:29Speaker 1: you look at Iran, you also have to look at
- 9:32Speaker 1: another issue here. They do need protection, they need allies
- 9:35Speaker 1: in the Middle East, but they also need distractions so
- 9:38Speaker 1: they can get their ran nuclear program off the ground.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And if we're focused on Ukraine and we're focused on
- 9:44Speaker 1: Russia and then China's all this is happening, right, all
- 9:47Speaker 1: this is going on, they get closer to their nuclear
- 9:50Speaker 1: program without them being the focus of the world. So
- 9:53Speaker 1: if you back up here and you think about this strategically,
- 9:58Speaker 1: Iran needs a distraction to finish nuclear program. China needs distractions.
- 10:02Speaker 1: They continue to push for their world dominance and they
- 10:05Speaker 1: don't want to be the focal point of American policy
- 10:07Speaker 1: and the Republicans. They don't want to be the focal
- 10:10Speaker 1: point of uk either. China sees Russia is the perfect
- 10:16Speaker 1: proxy for them to get all the attention off of them,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and at the same time they can actually back the
- 10:23Speaker 1: Russian and so that they even get more attention. This
- 10:26Speaker 1: is a brilliant geopolitical move by Iran and a brilliant
- 10:31Speaker 1: geopolitical move by Russia as well as China. They've all
- 10:37Speaker 1: hit a home run here. They've all really hit a
- 10:39Speaker 1: grand slam here, and the president showing up is proof
- 10:43Speaker 1: of just what a big success this was. They have
- 10:46Speaker 1: played us and it's brilliant. Now this is also going
- 10:49Speaker 1: to cost us a lot of money, how much President
- 10:53Speaker 1: Joe Biden announced in this quote historic visit to Ukraine
- 10:59Speaker 1: that your tax are going to be used indefinitely in
- 11:04Speaker 1: this war with Ukraine and Russia. He was in Kiev
- 11:09Speaker 1: and it's the same guy. By the way, they gave
- 11:10Speaker 1: billions of dollars and loans to Ukraine, and what are
- 11:12Speaker 1: they do in response? They fired that prosecutor that was
- 11:15Speaker 1: looking into corruption at the exact company where his son
- 11:18Speaker 1: was working. Brisman. Never forget that as a background for this.
- 11:21Speaker 1: He also talked about his love for Ukraine, and I'm
- 11:24Speaker 1: sure he does love Ukraine because it has made his
- 11:28Speaker 1: family extremely wealthy. It is made his family have unbelievable
- 11:36Speaker 1: amounts of money that they could have never gotten without
- 11:39Speaker 1: the corruption in Ukraine. And there's one side note about
- 11:42Speaker 1: Ukraine that I just must mention before I let you
- 11:45Speaker 1: hear the President talk about it, the billions and open
- 11:48Speaker 1: ended financial paychecks we're going to be sending right aid
- 11:51Speaker 1: to Ukraine. There's one other thing that you do need
- 11:54Speaker 1: to understand, and that is this, This administration has as
- 12:00Speaker 1: a great opportunity here to show transparency where is our
- 12:04Speaker 1: money going after it gets to Ukraine. We've already given
- 12:07Speaker 1: them billions of dollars. There have been zero questions that
- 12:12Speaker 1: it would have been answered by reporters that have asked
- 12:14Speaker 1: the White House for transparency in this aid, this Ukrainian
- 12:18Speaker 1: aid to fight Russia. We have no idea how much
- 12:21Speaker 1: of this money is disappearing. We have no idea how
- 12:23Speaker 1: much of this aid is going into the bank accounts
- 12:26Speaker 1: of people, even including Zolensky and the people around him.
- 12:30Speaker 1: We have no idea how much money is being funneled off.
- 12:32Speaker 1: But what I can tell you is if you look
- 12:34Speaker 1: at Ukraine and you take emotion out of it, and
- 12:37Speaker 1: everybody's obsession with Zelensky, you'll understand that Ukraine quite possibly,
- 12:44Speaker 1: and I'm talking about just basic corruption, is probably more
- 12:48Speaker 1: corrupt historically, especially in the last five years, ten years,
- 12:53Speaker 1: fifteen years, twenty years. When it comes to they are
- 12:56Speaker 1: extremely corrupt. More corrupt in Russia is as a country.
- 13:03Speaker 1: That's the inconvenient truth. I was ad the pleasure of
- 13:06Speaker 1: going over to Hungary, which obviously neighbors Ukraine, and was
- 13:11Speaker 1: got asked to speak at CEPAC Hungary. Was able to
- 13:14Speaker 1: meet with a lot of people in Ukraine. There are
- 13:19Speaker 1: people that were in Hungary from Ukraine. I was able
- 13:21Speaker 1: to talk to a lot of leaders in the parliament there.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I was able to talk even and spend some quality
- 13:26Speaker 1: time with Victor Orban, the Prime minister in Hungary. And
- 13:29Speaker 1: what I learned from all of that information is this,
- 13:34Speaker 1: you think Russia's corrupt, You've seen nothing until you look
- 13:38Speaker 1: at what's happened in Ukraine. Ukraine has a huge and
- 13:46Speaker 1: also very consistent, okay, very very very very very consistent
- 13:53Speaker 1: history of extreme corruption by its leaders, its government. So
- 13:59Speaker 1: now the president wants to tell you open endedly, we're
- 14:02Speaker 1: sending billions and there will be more after this, going
- 14:05Speaker 1: to Ukraine to fight Russia. Freedom is priceless. It's worth
- 14:12Speaker 1: fighting for as long as it takes. And that's how
- 14:16Speaker 1: long we're going to be with you, mister President. For
- 14:19Speaker 1: as long as it takes, We'll do it. Wow, We're
- 14:27Speaker 1: going to give you billions of dollars. Freedom is priceless,
- 14:30Speaker 1: worth fighting for as long as it takes. And that's
- 14:32Speaker 1: how long we will be with you, mister President, for
- 14:35Speaker 1: as long as it takes. Does that remind you a
- 14:37Speaker 1: lot of what we said in Iraq? Is that I'll
- 14:39Speaker 1: remind you a lot of what we said in Ukraine.
- 14:41Speaker 1: And we tried to export this freedom right and it
- 14:45Speaker 1: didn't work. It was a massive foreign policy failure for us.
- 14:49Speaker 1: So why would we believe now that somehow it's going
- 14:52Speaker 1: to work differently. It's not going to work differently. But
- 14:55Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to matter because this president is vowing
- 15:00Speaker 1: billions of dollars billions for Ukraine. I'm delighted to be
- 15:08Speaker 1: able to repay your visit to our country in Washington.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Not long ago you told us, you told the Congress quote,
- 15:16Speaker 1: we have no fear, nor should any in the world
- 15:19Speaker 1: have it. End of quote. You and all Ukrainians mister President,
- 15:27Speaker 1: remind the world every single day with the media of
- 15:31Speaker 1: the word courages, all sectors of your economy, all walks
- 15:38Speaker 1: through all life. It's astounded, astounded, remind us that freedom
- 15:46Speaker 1: is priceless, it's worth fighting for as long as it takes.
- 15:53Speaker 1: And that's how long we're going to be with you,
- 15:55Speaker 1: mister President, for as long as it takes. I mean
- 15:58Speaker 1: reiterating this again. What about the American people? Are you
- 16:04Speaker 1: putting American interests out there that we maybe aren't interested
- 16:11Speaker 1: in the answers. Yes, Data clearly shows that the majority
- 16:16Speaker 1: of the American people are not in favor of getting
- 16:18Speaker 1: into a world conflict with Russia via a proxy war
- 16:22Speaker 1: with Ukraine. The second thing is you've got to talk
- 16:26Speaker 1: about priorities here. The President United States of America has
- 16:29Speaker 1: still not visited what is in essence many have referred
- 16:33Speaker 1: to as a mini nuclear bomb that went off last
- 16:35Speaker 1: week with a massive spill, right, a huge spill that
- 16:39Speaker 1: took place of toxic materials. And this is a big
- 16:45Speaker 1: deal in Ohio. You've got poor air quality, you have
- 16:50Speaker 1: poor water quality, and the President still has not gone
- 16:55Speaker 1: there to look at the people. And there are many
- 16:57Speaker 1: that are saying right now. Let me get this straight,
- 16:59Speaker 1: mister President, you're not willing to come to Ohio and
- 17:03Speaker 1: talk about what has just happened to us here, but
- 17:06Speaker 1: you're willing to fly in the middle of the night
- 17:08Speaker 1: to Ukraine to give billions of dollars in a when
- 17:11Speaker 1: you wouldn't even declare natural a natural disaster in Ohio
- 17:15Speaker 1: where the spill took place. Now, this is starting to
- 17:19Speaker 1: again backfire on the president very quickly. This pr nightmare,
- 17:23Speaker 1: and people are asking a lot of questions, as they should,
- 17:26Speaker 1: and one of the things that they're asking right now,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and the press has been doing this like, hey, how
- 17:32Speaker 1: can you fly halfway around the world but not go
- 17:34Speaker 1: talk to these people in America who are suffering? Right now,
- 17:38Speaker 1: we've now been told that quote next week after he
- 17:41Speaker 1: comes back from giving billions and billions of dollars basically
- 17:45Speaker 1: a blank check indefinitely to Ukraine that you and I
- 17:48Speaker 1: are going to pay for. Okay, he's gonna then go
- 17:53Speaker 1: to Ohio and vid those people. My guess is he
- 17:55Speaker 1: will finally at that point declare disaster only because of
- 17:59Speaker 1: public shame and not giving a crap about the American
- 18:03Speaker 1: people and what the American people believe in now. Zelenski,
- 18:07Speaker 1: by the way, he's loving all of this. This is
- 18:11Speaker 1: the same guy that used to wear a suit and
- 18:13Speaker 1: a tie when coming to America to meet with Donald Trump,
- 18:17Speaker 1: who's now doing the complete opposite of that, wearing his
- 18:21Speaker 1: military asks fatigues because he's that guy. Now he has
- 18:26Speaker 1: a personal stylists who styles him every day, so it
- 18:30Speaker 1: looks like he's the tough guy that's fighting the evil
- 18:33Speaker 1: read Russians. And I'm not saying that Russians aren't evil
- 18:36Speaker 1: the government, I want to make that clear. I'm not
- 18:38Speaker 1: saying that we shouldn't be concerned about Russia. But what
- 18:41Speaker 1: I am saying is that this is a lot of
- 18:44Speaker 1: this as political theater, and it's costing you billions and
- 18:48Speaker 1: billions of dollars that we as Americans just don't have.
- 18:52Speaker 1: We don't have it. I'm gonna say it again, we
- 18:54Speaker 1: don't have it. The money we're sending to Ukraine right now,
- 18:57Speaker 1: we're borrowing every damn dime of it. I'm gonna say
- 18:59Speaker 1: that again. We are borrowing every damn dime that we
- 19:06Speaker 1: are sending to Ukraine. So what did Zelensky have to say? Everybody? Today?
- 19:12Speaker 1: We host President buyer. That is so important signal for
- 19:17Speaker 1: us and all we are proud of it. Thank you
- 19:22Speaker 1: very much for coming President. That is a huge moment
- 19:25Speaker 1: of supporting of the grain. And what can I say,
- 19:30Speaker 1: I really appreciate that President Biden, American society being from
- 19:36Speaker 1: the very beginning of this tragedy, from the word beginning
- 19:40Speaker 1: of this full scale world, from the first days being
- 19:45Speaker 1: together with us fists important lost from White House, do
- 19:52Speaker 1: Ukraine and thank you for your leadership. Thanks by parts
- 19:57Speaker 1: and support text Congress. I think that is historical moment
- 20:02Speaker 1: for our for our country and very important today will
- 20:07Speaker 1: speak de tibll this scation on the battlefield, I think
- 20:11Speaker 1: almost will speak about people of ugradis mold Clericans. I
- 20:17Speaker 1: think that is huge and so so they become beautiful
- 20:24Speaker 1: societies and what we have to do to solve the world,
- 20:28Speaker 1: to have success in this world, to make Craying more stronger,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and how to build this year. You're very welcome, Thanks,
- 20:43Speaker 1: thank you. I mean it's amazing, isn't it. They're just
- 20:48Speaker 1: playing the United States President like a fiddle, giving all
- 20:52Speaker 1: these accolades and then saying, hey, give me some money.
- 20:55Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna tell you more about this in
- 20:57Speaker 1: a second, but I do need to tell you about
- 20:58Speaker 1: our friends that I got to Press Medals. If you've
- 21:01Speaker 1: been saving for a long time for retirement, you know
- 21:04Speaker 1: that you need to protect your money and one way
- 21:07Speaker 1: to do that is with a gold ira. I'm excited
- 21:10Speaker 1: about telling you about a company that I actually use.
- 21:13Speaker 1: I have actually worked with a Gust of Precious Medals.
- 21:16Speaker 1: They are different because they will even tell you if

- 22:35Speaker 1: this decision, and the presidential election is gonna clearly involve
- 22:39Speaker 1: Ukraine in this new policy of intervention that can turn
- 22:43Speaker 1: into all out War three with Russia. Governor Ron De
- 22:46Speaker 1: Santis was asked about it this morning on Fox News Channel.
- 22:49Speaker 1: He's obviously guy that's looking at the presidency and this
- 22:52Speaker 1: is what he had to say about Biden's surprise visit
- 22:56Speaker 1: to Ukraine. You know, but sir, we've seen incoherence from
- 22:59Speaker 1: this administration, no defined policy on Ukraine, no defined objective
- 23:03Speaker 1: of what winning you know, looks like I think a
- 23:05Speaker 1: lot of Americans are asking, you know, how much more money,
- 23:08Speaker 1: how much more time, how much more human suffering. Well,
- 23:12Speaker 1: they have effectively a blank check policy with no clear
- 23:16Speaker 1: strategic objective identified, and these things can can escalate and
- 23:21Speaker 1: I don't think it's in our interest to be getting
- 23:24Speaker 1: into proxy war with China getting involved over things like
- 23:27Speaker 1: the border lands or over crimea. So I think it
- 23:31Speaker 1: would behoove them to identify what is the strategic objective
- 23:35Speaker 1: that they're trying to achieve, But just saying it's an
- 23:38Speaker 1: open ended blank check that is not acceptable. So, Governor,
- 23:42Speaker 1: what does a win look like for US in Ukraine?
- 23:45Speaker 1: For Ukraine, Well, I think it's important to point out.
- 23:50Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the fear of kind of Russia
- 23:52Speaker 1: going into NATO countries and all that and steamrolling you know,
- 23:56Speaker 1: that has not even come close to happening. I think
- 23:58Speaker 1: they've shown themselves to be a third rate military power.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I think they've suffered tremendous, tremendous losses. I got to
- 24:06Speaker 1: think that the people in Russia are probably disapproving of
- 24:10Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't think they can speak up
- 24:11Speaker 1: about it for obvious reasons. So I think Russia has
- 24:14Speaker 1: been really really wounded here, and I don't think that
- 24:18Speaker 1: they are the same threat to our country, even though
- 24:21Speaker 1: they're hostile. I don't think they're on the same level
- 24:23Speaker 1: as a China, right, Governor. By the way, you notice
- 24:27Speaker 1: what you just said there, I don't think they're on
- 24:29Speaker 1: the same level as a threat as they are as
- 24:32Speaker 1: China is. Now why did he say that, Because he's
- 24:35Speaker 1: telling you exactly what I just told you. This is
- 24:38Speaker 1: a big distraction, That's what this is. And to say
- 24:44Speaker 1: it's unacceptable to give an open in a blank check,
- 24:48Speaker 1: that's not acceptable to the American people. And I don't
- 24:51Speaker 1: think it's in our interest, as he said, getting into
- 24:53Speaker 1: a proxy war with China, getting involved over things like
- 24:56Speaker 1: borderlands or over crimea. And the American people, by the way,
- 25:01Speaker 1: are not in favor of this type of intervention. How
- 25:04Speaker 1: do I know that? Well, look no further than MSNBC.
- 25:09Speaker 1: MSNBC even today talked about this. Poles across the board
- 25:14Speaker 1: show that the majority of the American people do not
- 25:18Speaker 1: want to be involved, and we're losing support for the
- 25:20Speaker 1: war in Ukraine as the President goes and gives a
- 25:23Speaker 1: blank check. Listen, throw it forward a little bit, a
- 25:26Speaker 1: bit more on that speech we've been hearing during the
- 25:28Speaker 1: course of this morning. How there is a need of
- 25:31Speaker 1: course to rally the Europeans behind this and the global
- 25:34Speaker 1: effort behind this, but there's also very much at this
- 25:36Speaker 1: moment and need to rally Americans behind this war effort.
- 25:41Speaker 1: At least Jordan was pointing out earlier the polls showing
- 25:43Speaker 1: that across the board, Americans are losing support for the
- 25:47Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. How important is it tomorrow that President
- 25:52Speaker 1: Biden finds something to say to the American public that
- 25:55Speaker 1: perhaps he hasn't managed to find so far to persuade
- 25:59Speaker 1: them of the case that you just made that this
- 26:01Speaker 1: is a global effort and the Ukrainians of fighting on
- 26:04Speaker 1: behalf of the rest of the world. Yeah. Well, on
- 26:09Speaker 1: the one hand, the United States feels fairly good about
- 26:12Speaker 1: the way that they have been able to hold together
- 26:16Speaker 1: support for Ukraine for a full year. I mean, some
- 26:20Speaker 1: of the predictions where that it would be just a
- 26:22Speaker 1: matter of months into the war before Americans would get
- 26:26Speaker 1: tired of supporting Ukraine, and certainly Europeans who are much
- 26:29Speaker 1: more directly feeling the impacts the ramifications of sanctions and
- 26:33Speaker 1: the other steps taken to try to punish Russia. And
- 26:36Speaker 1: we have seen, you know, there was an ap North
- 26:39Speaker 1: Pole that just came out that showed that the level
- 26:41Speaker 1: of support for providing security assistance to Ukraine's dropped from
- 26:45Speaker 1: about sixty percent last year to just forty eight percent,
- 26:49Speaker 1: And although some House Republicans have started grumbling about the
- 26:54Speaker 1: need to no longer give a blank check to Ukraine,
- 26:57Speaker 1: we're also starting to see Republican leadership try to make
- 27:00Speaker 1: the case that that is a minority opinion and does
- 27:03Speaker 1: not broadly represent the party, including Michael mccaull, the chairman
- 27:08Speaker 1: of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Republican, over the
- 27:11Speaker 1: weekend saying it's time to increase support. So yes, there
- 27:15Speaker 1: are murmurings both in Europe and in the West and
- 27:19Speaker 1: in the United States about perhaps some folks who are
- 27:24Speaker 1: less supportive than they were before, but by and large
- 27:27Speaker 1: I love this right. They're they're admitting polls across the
- 27:30Speaker 1: border showing that Americans are losing support for the war.
- 27:33Speaker 1: The level of quote, the level of support for providing
- 27:35Speaker 1: security assistance to Ukraine has dropped from about sixty percent
- 27:39Speaker 1: last year to forty eight percent this year. The level
- 27:44Speaker 1: of support for providing security assistant to Ukraine has dropped
- 27:49Speaker 1: from about sixty percent last year to forty eight percent
- 27:52Speaker 1: this year, and it's gonna even go lower because no
- 27:55Speaker 1: one wants to give a blank check to Ukraine. I
- 27:58Speaker 1: actually believe this is a by partisan issue. I think
- 28:02Speaker 1: the majority of Americans right, regardless of what the President
- 28:07Speaker 1: keeps saying. Right. One year later, Keith stands, and Ukraine stands,
- 28:11Speaker 1: and Americans stand with you. That's the headline. It's like
- 28:14Speaker 1: a campaign rally from the president. One year later, Keith
- 28:19Speaker 1: stands and Ukraine stands, Democracy stands, the American stands with you,
- 28:28Speaker 1: and the world stands. Which. There it is. We're in
- 28:31Speaker 1: this thing, right. We just made it happen. We had
- 28:33Speaker 1: we had the UK lead, then we had Germany jump
- 28:36Speaker 1: in and France jump in, and now we're here, right
- 28:41Speaker 1: and we're gonna stand with you. The world's gonna stand
- 28:43Speaker 1: with you. This is this is classic Biden. I think
- 28:48Speaker 1: this is going to be a very defining moment. I
- 28:51Speaker 1: think the way that the Scantists described it was a
- 28:53Speaker 1: very smart way of putting it politically right. I mean,
- 28:58Speaker 1: I understand standing up to the Russians is something in
- 29:01Speaker 1: principle that we say, well, of course, as a country,
- 29:04Speaker 1: we would love to try to do that, but with
- 29:09Speaker 1: no accounting, right with with with with no understanding of
- 29:16Speaker 1: where the money's going or what's happening. I want to
- 29:21Speaker 1: know that there is another interesting article that's come out
- 29:26Speaker 1: while all of this is happening, and I just, you know,
- 29:29Speaker 1: want to make sure you understand this. We're not all stupid.
- 29:34Speaker 1: There is quote generational warfare is now threatens to rock
- 29:38Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four presidential race. A new headline from Axios.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Both Democrats and Republicans are getting louder about old age
- 29:46Speaker 1: and a reason to head off a rerun between Biden
- 29:49Speaker 1: and Trump. Why it matters, Democrats tell posters. Biden ages
- 29:53Speaker 1: too is a big reason. So many one another nominee,
- 29:57Speaker 1: and now some of the GOP are using Trump's age
- 30:00Speaker 1: to push the party past his divisive error of government.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Now I disagree with that statement. I just want to
- 30:05Speaker 1: be clear, but this is what the polls are saying.
- 30:08Speaker 1: They're also say they're very concerned in this poll about
- 30:13Speaker 1: world conflicts. They don't want it to happen. They don't
- 30:19Speaker 1: want world conflicts. They're concerned about world conflicts. They're afraid
- 30:24Speaker 1: of these conflicts. And that's another aspect of all of
- 30:28Speaker 1: this that the younger voters are saying, we've watched the
- 30:32Speaker 1: tail end of these wars. And when we watch the
- 30:35Speaker 1: tail end of these wars, the war in Iraq the
- 30:38Speaker 1: war in Afghanistan. We don't like what happened, we don't
- 30:42Speaker 1: like what came out of it, we don't like how
- 30:44Speaker 1: it went down, and we don't like the financial toll
- 30:47Speaker 1: slash burden. I couldn't agree more. By the way, my
- 30:53Speaker 1: foreign policy has changed drastically from two thousand and one,
- 30:56Speaker 1: two two, two, three tis and four tiers and five. Look,
- 31:01Speaker 1: I understand Ukraine, I really do. Okay, I understand what's
- 31:06Speaker 1: at stake here. I also understand that this could be
- 31:09Speaker 1: just a straight up distraction, and I also understand that
- 31:12Speaker 1: you're asking me to pay for it. And China understands this.
- 31:16Speaker 1: They understand this can weaken us even more. And they're
- 31:19Speaker 1: the ones, by the way, they own a lot of
- 31:20Speaker 1: our debts, so they love this. They own us. China,
- 31:24Speaker 1: by the way, has come out playing this game perfectly.
- 31:27Speaker 1: China now claims America is the real threat to the
- 31:29Speaker 1: world amid Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite much being made
- 31:33Speaker 1: of China's apparent lack of support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
- 31:37Speaker 1: That's all I now. We now know that they're involved heavily.
- 31:40Speaker 1: There's one question that Russia or China keep saying and
- 31:43Speaker 1: that is, well, don't look at Russia, look at America.
- 31:46Speaker 1: They're now claiming that America is the biggest threat to
- 31:49Speaker 1: the world. They're not doing this by accident. They're playing
- 31:55Speaker 1: us and this is going to cost us a lot
- 31:59Speaker 1: of money, especial actually if we go all the way
- 32:01Speaker 1: in to World War three because of this. And the
- 32:05Speaker 1: question is is this worth fighting or taking us into
- 32:08Speaker 1: World War three? I would argue, based on what we
- 32:11Speaker 1: know know, China is what we should be focusing on,
- 32:15Speaker 1: not Ukraine and Russia. Make sure you share this podcast
- 32:19Speaker 1: with your family and friends and I'll see it back
- 32:21Speaker 1: here tomorrow.
