Breaking news launches more uniform now is a special military ration it's goal is the protection of people for eight years suffered from abuse and genocide.

We urge you to lay down bombs immediately and go want to hear from you, Sharon poster, call 1-800-684-3110 morning has gone down in history but it is a different history for us and for Russia.

We have seven diplomatic relations with Russia, Ukraine is defending itself and shall not see its freedom, whatever they might think in most go to Ukrainian independence and the right to live on nylon is the highest value.

So whatever you thought about. They could invade what will it look like we now know what it looks like it's a full-scale invasion lease by air right now but we also have troops on the ground. Russian troops and keep the capital of Ukraine may Russian troops in Odessa. They taken over the port there. That's cubes of Ukraine's only port city from the Black Sea. So by Russia taking that over. They now control anything is going in and out of Craig by a shipping container set course you understand the importance of that.

But if you look at a map. Let's put the map up right now I don't want to talk through it. This was not just centered around Eastern Ukraine.

You see that small area, but it represents the disputed area was already held by the separatist kind of like Crimea. They actually utilize Crimea and the areas held by the separatist. They launched attacks all the way through Belarus use Belarus as well to launch attacks. They got paratroopers in their their Russian troops on the ground there was some resistance by Ukraine on the air, but most of their air structures like the airports I have been taking out a lot of their communications have been taken out. Now I want to say right off the bat.

You might say well what okay this is happening in Ukraine and Russia.

This is how it could affect you to be more expensive. Fill up your car to be more special to heat your house every cost of goods are going to go up there were already at inflation kind of environment.

The stock market is almost fresh and we see the 2% drop.

And this is just the beginning of the conflict.

If this gets bloodier and nastier if there is some insurgency in Ukraine. We don't know if there really is water not this is going to be something it's very significant. The only thing comparable this in modern history was the US invasion of Iraq was shock and awe.

You go in with heavy air troops walk-in the takes role and that's what Putin is following similar bottle of take out all the major air structures and enroll in with the troops in the tanks and basically heirs-at-law resistance that the government is gone.

So when a report apparently were taught to military experts about this, but Vladimir Putin apparently tape the message that he released last night around midnight the East Coast time. The same day.

He gave that speech two days ago I wake up at three history of Russia speech. So this was all premeditated. He also said it was a limited special operation into those disputed territories. However, 10 minutes after he said that this is what's important for everybody and are spent literally 10 minutes after he said that there were bombs falling and missile strikes in Kenya have Odessa was an amphibious landings in which the port was taken over, which is the big control port and the major military, especially with regard to the Air Force was significantly compromised literally within hours of all of this happening, so it's now night in Steve so that's when you expect more of the heavier military artillery.

The question will be, does Zielinski's government go to exile really quickly here. We don't know the arms that survive in cave routes others. Russian troops literally on the ground and keep it. A lot of us again. This can be happy and nighttime in weighing their deep inside of Ukraine right now in every major city in every port. I encourage people click over. Are you seeing your Facebook chat watch on Facebook click over to watch on rumble as well so were to try that out today as well, but I we might be. I don't let me make the decisions of what whatever you're on right now because of the other will be back with more in just a moment. Again, ACLJ.org for information impacts you, you, regardless of how you feel about food and how you feel about the invasion and impact your pocketbook problems and challenges facing Americans or substantial time in our valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades now ACLJ on the front lines protecting your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success.

ACLJ.org where you can learn more about our life changing become a member today ACLJ only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice.

Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free and powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission life will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the motion industry and what Obama care means to the prone life in many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission life today online/life is planning to speak to the nation later on debut hour on air. We get some of that for you. Yesterday's comments were not very long, and they were dancing at some sections that were we Artie discussed were not so devastating to the Russian economy will see what is announced today on top of that the focus of the war angle of this really getting next segment into how this impacts you house impacts the economy, the US economy.

Russians Artie threatening cyber attacks on the US electrical grid or anyone else that in Vegas yet another terrific young banks and electrical grids and anyone any other country that interfered with their same interferes yes so that I would lay sanctions being interfered somewhere, Artie interfering, which means the Russians believe they got the green light to carry out cyber attacks on us. And of course I can be devastating. Also economically, also was wintertime and electrical grid start going down on top of that will get into the pocketbook issues to visit get it just do a 10,000 feet approach year however you feel about how the US should be involved in this. Guess what it's happening and it's going to impact you. Let's go to the what's actually happening on the ground is okay joining right now is our military analysts and military asked Carla Smith and Col., I want to talk to you initially because this is something that's not being reported, but NATO countries.

That's countries that we are in relationship with as part of NATO have exercise with you always hear about article 5, which is an attack on one NATO countries and attack on all there has been an article for invocation of NATO countries right now. Something on your lot about we want to tell you what that means you out of the 30 NATO countries for them today invoked article 4 of the NATO charter, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania of Poland is a former Warsaw Pact donation. The other three are former Soviet republics.

They border Russia and article 4 is there if any country feels like their territorial territories being violated potentially or their political independence if they if they believe they are threatened on either of those things territory our independence they can invoke article for me what it means is that it calls for a mandatory meeting of all 30 member states immediately and of course that the member states they all have permanent representatives in Brussels is called the North Atlantic Council, they might meet.

Usually what is a result of this J is that more equipment and more troops are sent to those countries that are about the possibility of a escalation of military personnel and armament that is the likely result of this, including the possibility that the 40,000 man. You're the NATO response force might be activated as well in article 4 also says that they feel like their territories or their political operations are under jeopardy now it's very interesting when you look at this Wes on as to what exactly happened here and that is the strike that Russia engaged input gives an announcement saying it's can be limited to the region of the two disputed regions, as they call it and then literally 10 minutes later he starts having major engagements in Cave Odessa with the Navy we had Air Force maybe special operations Black Hawk helicopters and now ground down the pre-assault farces are called literally were not in the eastern port in Ukraine where I thought was going to happen. They were all over the country of Ukraine that the port city of Edessa was occupied by Russian troops. There were airstrikes in the Western side, not far from the Polish border and of course armored troops and attacks your present fire started on the northern border going towards the capital city of This was a major attack over the entire country of Ukraine particular cause about this China people project questions have the military approach the economic impact this will have on the US gives a call 1-800-684-3110 that's 1-800-684-3110 one of our peers on rumble of you watching on rumble and we appreciate mobile hosting a seven runner homepage right now. Said very clearly put in plan. The total invasion of Ukraine is looking to rebuild the failed USSR, Poland's boggy Romania coming next concern is the likelihood of a significantly talk about like a World War III year. Watch out for China and there's some concerns there. How do you view this Col. Smith right now.

Militarily, what kind of level of engagement is this well for Ukraine. It is total engagement that the threat that we don't know the complete outcome is how far put will go after this I don't think he will attack another country right off, but you look at the former Balkan state. You know, of Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia.

You look at the former members of the Soviet Republic that have invoked article 4 of NATO. They are feeling threatened NJ. What is happened the world today is a much more dangerous place in which to live absolute right to the phones we are to your phone calls 164 3110 Jan in Texas on my one Jan I saw your comment. I will get right to thinking very much and I'm calling in reference to my son's girlfriend, who in a safe place at her home in the province in Ukraine. My son is in Kiev right now and has opted to stay there. He's a war veteran and he's with other war veterans, and one that has been on Fox News getting some comments back to at any rate in and he had a business there and we had to shut it down.

Two weeks ago. His girlfriend tried to apply for D's in November was turned down nine cents and it was probably cultivated.

I don't we don't know the reason why she was current turn down truthfully that John is will I do have her drivers line where the location is you know that she safe. Yes, she's in her product. Okay, so she is. She's Ukrainian okay this is interesting because from you know the displaced person aspect of this is the is also becomes an issue here is very significant in showing people are pouring out of Ukraine as we speak. Some of found is that they'll safe haven, but the roads out of Kyiv are packed. Guess what that does opens up the roads into care for the Russian tanks and know the Russian tanks are the latest model of the things guilty 14.

They are rolling into the country as we speak. The refugee crisis on this is going to be huge. I will say this about the Russian attack so far is very targeted their charting command-and-control government buildings. Those kinds of things that the rampant just attacking everyone with not no concern for civilian casualties has not happened yet strikes this far have been massive.

They been all over the country largely targeted at government facilities. Col. Smith, but they grabbed the ports right away right so two things happen last night as we were watching and looking at this think they went in with amphibious landings, Navy to take over the port in Odessa.

At the very same time they struck right at the Kyiv airport and also in the military but the Kyiv international Airport, which is the commercial aviation civilian travel but also went right directly after the military aircraft and supposedly had direct strikes you absolute today they they had flown reconnaissance missions course they have satellite they they knew what their targets were going to be.

They've engaged these targets. Unfortunately very effectively and the reports are that even the air defense system of of Ukraine has been totally obliterated so that they cannot even sell patients us and we know at this point do not know exactly. I do know that the Ukrainian Army. They have quit using cell phones completely. They use old landline military radios and telephones in order to not be shut down, they can still communicate sources civilian cell phone service I'm not sure excellence is impose martial that was Marshall on because of the humor was a biphasic IA FaceTime video he did not have the production capability to address the nation in a normal kind of video message or life message she was using his phone to do so, such as you have imperiled the leadership of Ukraine is I want to show this image fairly haunting image.

This is right before the airstrikes really began very early morning yesterday in Ukraine. It was a group of people that CNN just noted, had come together in prayer Ukrainians. There's Ukraine, like Russia's two has died. There's there's the Orthodox Church, but there's other Christian denominations there. I don't know if those Orthodox Christians are evangelical Christians in a manner somewhat but it showed you that I get all over the world when there's this crisis looming it in and they said it was below freezing up just yet. Freezing cold and yet they knew they could do this to be unseated by the way, and another care was a catch them.

They did this to prayer and to and that's I get a lot of what people's hope is left will be in Ukraine is is prayer the right things happen to slow this invasion down or give Putin pause because again once you start wars.

Wes and I think this is very important. You really can't predict. It was a start now, even if you're the bigger Army right so many mistakes and missteps can happen. People reacted to the war activities like this and you just don't know like it.

That's what I mean when I say the world today is a much more dangerous place you look at China's new Wednesday for yes for the United States at the cyber wars going to kick into high gear.

Welcome to the Cold War to is what it comes down to. You have course, China's threat with Taiwan. They flew nine fighter jets and one reconnaissance plane into Taiwan airspace. While this attack was going on in Ukraine. Also we talked about this the next segment.

But while this is our current fiber. Putin is meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan about a new pipeline from Russia natural gas pipeline from Russia working on the sanctions already in a way that Iran and other countries that have the infrastructure do.

He does 330 planning for large-scale way to work around US and Western European sections. We encourage if you're watching this to be listening on radio. Thank you, and continue to do that. We encourage you call your friends, listen it during labor, social media platforms right now including rumble we want to share this with your friends. With your hopes on those very social media platforms very important piece they engaged on this coming up what is this mean for you for us in the United States of America and our way of life to talk about that with two of her experts.

We come right back in the right remember later in the broadcast. Former Secretary of State Michael Moore in a moment only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free and powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later there would Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission life today online/challenges facing Americans is freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice ACLJ on the front lines projecting your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress to get in the public arena and exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do her work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms then remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member.

Thank you.

Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us. ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ secularists. We talked military side of this course. The more that with Sec. Pompeo, we write to you because a lot of that there was a lot of talk about this at what happened will will not happen will really go this far Valley has so how will this impact us.

You think this is what's most important to the American people is your guest war in Europe is bad. How is this going to impact me now stock market, but also at the gas pump, grocery store, I gas bill. It's wintertime Mid-America gas bills are higher than they normally are not all of that travel cost spring break is coming up soon will you be able to afford that the trip with your family and this is that I think really how it connects right now to the average American who's got a get through their day. The kids are in school to go to work his fit all the time focused on Ukraine and Russia, but it will impact that it's going to impact them only to proposer Harry Hutchinson's law and economics professor because Prof. Hutchison.

Here's one of the issues that expectant look.

I went to let my think with their and it's it's breathtaking. I mean, and his issues with our strategic reserves precisely in his issues as to what the sanctions really, what can be next and what the next immature sense of personal the economic impact. Well, I think the economic impact, particularly in the short run will indeed be huge and so we are seeing forecast of gas prices going up to up to eight dollars per gallon of gas, particularly in California and New Jersey and so this will have a very significant impact on travel, it will have an impact. For instance on the leisure industry hotels. It will also have an indirect impact on food price. So for instance as petroleum prices rise, then transportation costs rise and so I think at the end of the day the American people will pay a huge price, but they will be paying a price at least in part because the Biden administration did not adequately forecast this problem. So for instance we should have opened up all of our pipelines. We should have maintain energy independence. We should've A barrel of oil at about $40 per barrel is supposed to about $100 per barrel and even the Biden administration. I think today would admit it made a strategic risk mistake in tap and tapping the strategic oil reserve, not because that was necessarily a mistake, but because we are sending oil, at least as of November 20, 21 to India and China as opposed to the American people, which I undressed his Biden administration so Vladimir Putin though has already he's had to do this. He's had a figure out the unity sanctions are coming in there to be more sanctions. Today he's doing work around.

Absolutely. And so, for instance, there is some talk about imposing so-called Swift banking sanctions, essentially, that would mean Russian customers could not transfer funds from lots a bank aid to bank be because those banks are no longer part of the Swift transaction system. However, Russia already has a workaround in place with Pakistan with Iran with Turkey with China and so at the end of the day for those Swift banking sanctions to work. You would also have to impose sanctions on all these other countries but my question is this. Usually we think if if we can shut you out of the US market US banking system Western banking systems. The stock market that in the past that would cripple your country's economy. In some countries, it still does, because they don't have these workaround but are what we saying is that Russia can work around that. And it may be a little not be perfect for them but long term they can think they figure out a longer play here. I think that's right. So what we are doing right now.

Even assuming that we impose the maximum Swift banking sanctions possible as we are causing an inconvenience, but we have also given Russia.

Lots of leverage on international markets because we have allowed through a deliberate US policy we've allowed the price of petroleum to explode. That essentially is a hard currency and so Russia can trade petroleum or other assets through out the world and we have become dependent. If you help on Russian oil. We have been importing Russian oil.

It makes no sense. But that's the Biden ministry and the same time Russia knowingly, willfully and wantonly is by violating international law and that's exactly right. Russia and the Ukraine are parties to the 1949 Geneva Convention and indeed to the Hague convention of 1907 regarding the methods and means of conducting warfare and the one of the basic principles is that you do not violate sacrosanct borders and what the Russians have done is invaded the Ukrainian violated the borders which are sacrosanct and so now we have come into play, and I look very carefully at this the basic principles of the law of war because that's what were involved in the Ukraine and foremost is the role of the parties to the conflict have got to distinguished at all times between combatants and civilians.

That's one of the things that comes into play combatants. Civilians may never be the deliberate subjects or targets of attack, and the parties to the conflict have to minimize the attack on civilians, human rights still apply in the Ukraine under the laws of war. Lawful targets have got to be objective eyes you can to destroy, capture or neutralize things that are not of the military nature. Vladimir Putin is saying is all right at CNS all right right okay Vladimir put in thing with my 4711 would try to stop us and for the create threats to our country to all people should know that Russia's response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history, we are ready for any outcome. I understand like the Biden ministrations approach are not. He's got a kick Putin is going to consider the sanctions as an interference that means he's got a green light.

Potentially the attacks on our electrical grid. Think about that. The time is 30° lot place. The country are: the the Celtic cell infrastructure.

The Internet meant he could green light massive attacks, cyber attacks on the US they could cripple our communications and ability to heat our homes on top of that, on top of that it green lights bad actors that are aligned with Russia were much closer to us. The Cubans who have been relied with the Russians, the Venezuelans of course bad actors like Iran and which was about Sec. Pompeo was loving this right out the Chinese because all this attention is over here and they got flights going over Taiwan military placement over Taiwan and by the way, that takeover would be let short of this is taking. Let me put any quickly here laid up with the nationalist believe that the deterrent of what knowing is not a disregard that he doesn't care what it is is already made the statement definitively to do what it takes to accomplish is go and Eric from an economic standpoint.

Here is there any sanctions I can be impose on Russia that will have the kind consequences to deter him from going further, at least I don't think so.

Certainly not in the short run and so we should've started imposing sanctions if we're going to go down this pathway in March, 20, 21, when put troops on the Ukrainian border right folks really take your calls 164 3110 second half hour coming up. You don't want to miss the Secretary of State RC accounts for global affairs Mike Pompeo live thorniest by the way, we also note during a live broadcast day present by 30% back in our second bickering about where live on the be right back.

Second half hour for decades.

ACLJ is been on the frontline protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member thanking God's well this is the perfect time to stand with us, ACLJ.org, where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today ACLJ keeping you informed any day now, this is Jordan secular to secular. So we have seen a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

All the talk about what it might be what it might not be will ask do hazard magic solution off the table now that the differences the ground troops are just beginning to move.

It takes her charge are just now beginning to move and so the out there were some on the ground efforts in Odessa to take the port they did the if they did that with amphibious landing to be slamming vehicles and use paratroopers in the central parts Ukraine like give a troops on the ground as well as tanks beginning to roll in.

There is a mass migration occurring so you can see a mass migration of people Ukrainians were in denial about this until he woke up. They were in denial. They really did not believe in their leaders were telling them not to believe that that really people I do consider brothers and sisters would covet them. This kind of firepower and this was a very strategic move by Putin.

He also get engaged in which the Russians are known for a disinformation campaign. Let me be clear what that is. He gave a speech. It was prerecorded was the same day. He gave the speech allowed three days of a long three hours before he gave the whole history of of of Russia. Since the time of the Czars and were he laid out his vision for a reunited Soviet Union. Basically, then he's evidently this will all the indications are that he recorded speech that he then released last night same coat same time same place sitting the same where he said I only authorize a special operation, limited engagement military actions in the two young portions of Ukraine network is in dispute. Supposedly 10 minutes later. 10 minutes later, rockets and missiles were fired upon TF Odessa was attacked by amphibious landing of Russians and the port was taken over the Kyiv airport. The both the commercial airport in the military were completely rendered meaningless useless showing pictures of it on the screen right now, surgical strikes, shock and awe, but decapitated.

A lot of the military engagement that they can engage in.

Now the question is how long the Zielinski is even still, there would be joined by by the way coming up on the next thing the broadcast is the former secretary of state Mike Pompeo is our senior counsel for global affairs of your watching or listening. I would encourage appear in any of our media applications share this with your friends or not you want to miss my Pompeo voice sat next to Vladimir Putin in negotiations and laptop. You know you have for him is is this. It's or where was put want to go next. There are few only three really countries are former Soviet countries have not joined NATO other than Ukraine Serbia Kosovo Albanian anorectal Elsworth a lot between Kosovo and Albania, one of two of those are in a predominantly one of those phenomenally Muslim to productively Orthodox Christian.

So again, the other places are talking about the countries that have invoked that article for Vado their part of NATO, but certainly would be in Vladimir Putin's eyes. If this goes well for him that what we don't know is what happens when his troops could be shot at by people from their Windows is in the insurgency a lot of military for same. The only hope Ukraine has now you don't engage the Russians right now you fall back on your troops in their homes very much guerrilla style, and then with their sit there on the streets you go if you go after them like we see our troops have to fight with many people and erect right live in Afghanistan and Iraq. What was leading those insurgent efforts. Radical Islam behind barter kind of idea that's different than in a predominately Christian Orthodox Christian country where most people just don't want to fight and they been under this Russian puppet governments for for many times throughout their short history. So if food is able to do this relatively is the blood spilt. You know that thousands of people being killed and he's able to put in about 50 people is totally destabilize the military and the government.

Yet Sophie puts it, a puppet government is that conflicts have radiant health that allow them to Caleb, as is Liles not to ask my Pompeo does that affect us, folks, I don't care whose side you're on anything I I do think is public if it doesn't matter it's can affect your pocketbook, all of you pay lower and all of us.

We pay more for gas bill pay more natural gas in your home pay more to pump your paper for food and it's already with the placer country Mike Pompeo coming up next.

If you watch the broadcast shared with your friends and family challenges facing Americans are substantial time and are now freedom and sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades now ACLJ is on the frontlines checking your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress and in the public and we have an exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do her work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms that remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us. ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ only one.

A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission life will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists ramifications. 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the worship ministry and what Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question free copy of mission life today online ACLJ/secular. We are joined by a senior counsel for global affairs. If you a better person. Talk to right now former Secretary of State for CIA director for Congressman West Point grad Mike Pompeo, senior counsel for global affairs, Mr. Sec., we now talk about this for two weeks, is now happen. I want to get urinalysis first on the nature of this attack that Dublin report is launched on Ukraine overnight and it's ongoing now you have met with him you have been at the table with him and also with lateral update Foreign Minister.

What is your analysis of the nature of this attack so far while Jay, this is a big attack is highly complex is using every element of Russian power. The cyber they abused Erin see artillery attacks as well liberal vehicles and land equipment. There's attacks through the C&S as well.

This is that this is a high-end concerted effort to overthrow the regime in Ukraine. I think we we've all seen this coming for weeks. We implored our administration to everything it could to deter change the calculus for Vladimir Putin, clearly waiting to do the sanctions failed to do that. Vladimir is made this choice. It's a war of aggression on his part needs to be made to pay the price for that you think secretary Pompeo that if that government falls in Ukraine that's that's all Putin wanted or are you concerned that this is just the beginning of a new style of Russian aggression will we have to remember history just a bit. He thinks of himself in many ways is Peter the Great to restore greater Russia is that this isn't the first time he's done this right.

He he drops troops into Syria equipped private forces into Libya. He took Georgia appeasing Geordie to Crimea so this is part of a pattern move see what the response of the West is that the cost is relatively low and continue the mission. The mission being creating a Russian buffer space and that recreation of at least a 570 unit. This is like a Safeway company to achieve and today he is not paid a price. But I up to full?

And that is one you negotiated with him you been at the table with him as secretary of state courts are also CIA so I want our audience to understand the kind of person he is and you just said he's trying to build legacy so that's kind of question one question two is this was a very calculated move that he made when he issued that state which was obviously prerecorded. The saint was a limited engagement special operations in one portion of Ukraine, while his Amphibious Landing Was Taking Pl. in Odessa and he was bombing Keefe also obviously Russian disinformation here.

You negotiated with him using the tactics what your assessment document that the law is entirely consistent with the black curtain that I came to know is one thing Jay is power and force and brutality. I was criticized for saying he should be kind.

You can see that you is not about admiring him for that. I despise him. He is evil he is like the incredible harm on the Ukrainian people. They are the victims, but you can't put your head in the sand.

You can't do what Barack Obama said you guess Alice is just JV Internet cut off. This is a serious adversary, and we should have taken this more seriously.

We now find ourselves in a place where he is on the march like he is in control and worse on our backlight very much up the tools to regain control to use the great power status that we have enormous costs in the coming day advised and if it's acquired in the coming years. While what Mike what does that mean immediately put in the kind of sanctions you would do if you were present in the United States and Secretary of State. What is it that would deter this point from where he is right now in Ukraine. I know doesn't look like Emmett looking at it as were looking at it now. We do a lot of work in this region does not look like Zielinski's government survives in cave may be in exile, but what would what are the kind of sanctions that could be put in place that would deter further aggression here measure the sanctions alone no matter how stiff can actually turn metric. That's not to say they should be step to do every bit of that. I saw the Germans today say that they would support us with this that's outrageous we should do it. We do without them we can. We should put enormous sanctions.

I have hates oligarchs. Everyone who was in the room is a human rights violations use global magnetic you're familiar with NJ is a powerful powerful sanctions that impact the lives but there's so much more than that, I would start with this I would announce this morning not to send a few barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. That's just silly. West America's economic power playlist to open up energy resources everywhere. Let's take the price accrued from one of 599 where we sit and as we speak. I think back to 52 is when we left office is economy and consumers. People all throughout America. There are many statistical tools we have that we can use the understand power by one last thing, Jay would add, it could be that you will country which is very clear that he is the rightful leader of Ukrainian people. We should support him. But this is government. We should not recognize them and we should operate in a weighted how was the resistance that government every day until the cost of his estate. There are former Soviet states, which are members of NATO. Now he's talked about in that longer speech of more expansive approach.

So if this goes relatively easy for Vladimir Putin, and the sanctions like the Swift vexations are put in by the US and and and and even if they are, but there's not buying for the entire world. He's got he's very tight at building a pipeline to Pakistan. Now the head of Pakistan is in Russia as as this is going on to discuss that.

I could see potentially trying to endanger NATO member states directly that he believes are part of the bigger Russia and Soviets conglomerate during the next most likely place are the Baltic states, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are most at risk is calculus will be much like it was this time I want to get that back. This is an important part of Russian history. This is this part of the greater Russian or Soviet empire. What's it going to cost me with the risk associated with my continued power. My by the rest of my resume in Russia falls the VEP calculate that he can do this with relative impunity. There's real rest that he will move on and begin to snivel and NATO in the same way he's not consuming all of Ukraine.

You know Mike when we talk about Orlando broadcast a course in a total disregard for the law of armed conflict. Total disregard for international law of war of aggression that can make the list. If you're going to be an actual criminal court, and I'm no fan at court, to say the least.

And I've appear before multiple times but II say all of that to put you in this to enlighten our audience are you been in that situation room in the White House. If you are there right now. What would you tell Pres. Biden needs to be done to protect the interests also of the United States as though everything for the Roxy schedule again this afternoon. Need to be to unify the United States and make clear why this matters wide is the case that ability in Europe matters. Bryson said the reasons Arlington.

Second, I would as I said earlier, I would make sure that we are producing every ounce of career when we click every cubic meter of natural gas that we can ship across the state to make sure that we move heaven and earth. Europeans not be that under the jacket she backlight the sanctions we would then demand data do its job is central tack is to push against ruptured name and date of latest resources and money soldiers is that Ray's auto Betty and make sure that there's no further aggression beyond what Lambert has already committed to Sec. Pompeii was always an associate in the sky. These troubled times. It's great to have you as part of the team at the max of largess or senior counsel for global affairs.

I know will be getting back to you regularly as this subpart continues to progress.

I think one thing that signatory Pompeii and said clearly as anybody knows more about it can speak freely now that is not in administration.

Currently, is that NATO countries are at risk yet if Putin will do a judgment call. He'll say you know what you didn't do much with Ukraine and I NATO the small smaller NATO countries met with their friends who live in Lafayette that they could be next is a very small country sale with a are limited NATO which would invoke article 5, if attacked, yes. If NATO is willing to actually go towards Russia and those of the countries that already exist calculate yes in those countries is, was missed at a military analyst for the children said that they've already implemented article for so article 4. Of course, is that they feel like they are territorial sanctity is in dispute were in danger and that the military could be called upon and that their political risk, which means that the government could be taken over. So the question is, and you just heard from the former Secretary of State. If you're watching your new DOS on rumble. Let me take something Mike Pompeo is a senior counsel with the ACLJ global affairs were now able to give you analysis.

He's also letting us gives us tremendous insight and this is all part of our work here at the American Center for Law and Justice not a member of the ACLJ you should become one do that ACLJ.org.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you, are not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ with this conflict is that already looking past Ukraine almost had said, okay, Ukraine is is done like it's a matter of just typing it for Putin when he wants to send enough troops to take out the government.

Whether that government is even there we probably need to see if Zielinski is even operating in Kyiv as we speak we don't last time we saw was a video some hours and hours ago. It is by phone it did look like it was from his office still but literally he was having a broadcast. Like you, you would do a video posted to Instagram means or Facebook or rubble and that's how he was able to get a message Ukraine so they've lost their ability to communicate in a formal way like threats you need hours because we saw was targeted first by the Russians was all of the satellites air air support anything that would commit anything involving communications, including medications with aircraft that second though because were talking about this. We just talk to sec. Pompeii. I think what he said is it's what should really double down on the concern for Americans because I again I don't really care what you think about food and then there's all this talk about Republicans being split on that this is going to cost you money that some of that because of who's in the White House as a made good decisions, some of that is because there could be expanded war in Europe and so that's a bed I was.

I get very nervous when Sec. Pompeo says that there could be NATO countries includes target, he'd be willing to risk they really invoke article 5 fight by Russian troops, will you know the NATO treaty has a series of articles article for which the governor sleep before article 5 says if you you could notify the NATO countries you can exercise article 4, which requires a meeting of NATO immediately and that means that there territorial integrity is at risk or an issue certainly and that there are their country is at risk does not require engagement. Although it does notify troop employment take capabilities. Article 5 is one NATO country is attacked, all NATO countries are attacked and that would employ 40,000 NATO troops at a minimum before other troops would be engaged to be looking at a World War III. That's what that would be. I don't think Vladimir Putin can do that but we are not giving strong indications. I wanted to write to Washington DC with our offices across the street from the United States Alternator was watching on rumble. I want to let you know that our offices are literally across treatment On this report, then that is our director of governmental affairs is not a lot of reaction out of Washington is been a lot of back and reaction out of Europe as well. What are you hearing. Thank you. Been talking offices this morning. Yeah. First, while Jim and I think the top line. Take away that I have is actually on the point you were just talking about with Jordan. These international entities, whether it's NATO or the United Nations they need. American leadership really bad right now jamming yesterday when the United Nations Security Council met who is chairing the Security Council.

It was the Russian Federation, so look, that's the top line take away I'm hearing for members of Congress, but I would tell you this J and I think we need to say this pretty clearly there's a big divide right now on Capitol Hill between us a tough talk right basically every elected member is tough is talking tough on this, but J there's a big difference between that and the action that they've taken before they left town. None of them are here right now. Maybe they will get called back early. I don't know but J everything that's happening today. It was clearly forecast before they left town and they didn't take the opportunity to back up that tech tough talk with action that would listen. Would Vladimir… Here's Prudence talk about NATO countries. This is talking about NATO countries were part of NATO folks listen to this league-leading 90 countries have supported extreme nationalists and neo-Nazi pursuing Daniel and those forces trained with Will Nava for ghee try medians for the free choice and they will push for Crimea and then do it. Just like they did in the Don boss they will push for a war that just like the picture I sent advancing you crying you love Cuba even hold a note will would suit and elucidate claims to some other Russian territory. Talk very tough talk when you are comparing your enemy to Nazis. Your basically saying I'm justified in killing every single one of them, which again this is that's what is talking to his domestic audience what his domestic audience is no longer seeing his income reporting at Ukraine. It's about what's happening in Ukraine because a lot of people in Russia citizens would see those Ukrainians is very much there a lot of relatives there people. It will between both countries. That's why think Ukrainians are still so surprised that it was this kind of force. The art supplies and said that he would like to destabilize the government put in a puppet regime which is the norm. There, that's happened over there entire short history, but what they're shocked with is that he's going to kill the P please call them brothers and sisters in Christ. He's killing so the propaganda doesn't add up to what's on the ground. But again, we know that this impact here folks on us. Regardless of this blessed no more new sections. That's by buying more sage just by buying is going to be significant in and he sees us as an enemy right now you want us any set interfere with the night with Russia. You are an enemy that we have because we put in sections in place that gives him the green light if he wants to take a tax it's our electrical grid, which we seen them try before it's been successful in small-scale and also attacks on our tele-communications so the fold Lawrence Nebraska online what he wants.

Hello how are you I have a question and I want to know why I haven't checked the quote sheet open up the pipeline close to close up little Biden took office, one that Trump gave us independence with why don't they open that, we should you listen we went on air no matter the Keystone was ever complete operational they stop some of the construction on that's on but you raise the point if you reopened it. The futures were now that that this would start flowing and help with that would bring their prices immediately because they would know that if they can get away with this promise.

Right now we had to go to OPEC mankind Frank and beg for oil reserves and this is the difficult spot, horrible spot.

The Joe buying this person and that's what I'm interested then again with all the top talk, you know what girl I've been meeting that his report to the talking American people about this is been put off. I that happens all the time was in looking at things on the ground, yes, but yes, especially his situation because they don't have a cohesive policy disc.

How do they not know this is what I asked, and speaking to one it was taken to 130 this morning. Yeah, after the attack ointment will the intelligence briefings from the administration for weeks now had indicated this, and yet no action was taken. So II think they did know was coming a distant take the action looks both on the punitive side when it comes to energy you're talking about nor stream to, or just getting us less dependent on it, that would be the Keystone pipeline that the caller is talking about a J you had Sen. Langford on this broadcast earlier in the week and this is one of the things he said you've got to hit them where it hurts and when it comes to Russia. That's the energy sector ever but Mike Pompeo just set it up on the sector state nursing her counsel for global affairs. The ACO JV sanctions didn't much of a deterrent right now unfortunately and then you guy am very concerned about what Mike said about NATO countries possibly being in harm's way. Look at the flight of people. I will be pictures of that leaving Kia and I mean in droves is only three hours: there get now and this is to create a huge humanitarian crisis right thing.
