BIDEN: Secure the Border, Fund the Police

Sick, you won't find this confusing state of the union secure the border and fund the police talk about that more today. Now you Sharon's most common call one 800 68311 secular nobody wants to fund the police knowing that secure the border and fix our broken immigration system tells how he would get that done with Democrats in his party, who cheered for that Republicans is about the only I wouldn't call a bipartisan moment. You just again stalking Republican talking points.

No behind know how you get to do that when you got your party that wants to define the police in your party that wants to keep the border open again just words present. Biden had a unique opportunity that not every President gets stating union. Most estate union addresses. To be honest with you are born, they are kinda perfunctory. They go through what they've accomplished what they want to accomplish.

There are moments in time in history so she wartime when present in this unique object is not just addressing the American people present. By last night knew going into this and his advisors that Ukrainians were watching the people Ukrainian Pres. Putin in the Kremlin said he would be going through the read out of it.

So he knew he had that audience and the Russian people their audience. Europe plus America and the Chinese are watching what were doing with Ukraine because of what they want to do and I want and what did you do.

He spent a few minutes at the beginning of stating union acknowledging the Ukrainian investor to the US.

That's nice, but announcing no new moves, no real threats, never calling out Hooton directly never calling out again saying how bad it is how great Ukrainians are fought back but not living the reality that Russia right now is carpet bombing Ukraine. The cities barely exist anymore. This government will fall if if things remain the same. And why can't he get Europeans to take out that convoy without the US unbeliever having to do everything.

So again he failed. That's all.

The entire state of the union was a failure on every point because that his aspirations were all voted on and voted down, even by members of his own party by Joe mansion.

So all that stuff like great step free this free that free that you think the Republicans when they take back the house are even going to send that to the Senate which will also be Republican-controlled. No please try to hoodwink the American people a time when inflation is high and people are freaked by the Kobe does exist for them anymore.

That was nice. Leslie except for the staff's assistance, which we talked about throughout, but think about this world war in the work war in Europe teetering on world war talks of nuclear and he's what he spent most of his time on the parts to build that battery to get past noon. No, I think it was a total favorable thing I bought loan was used must be a railing moment a confidence building measures. It was not a lot of false hopes and dreams and maybe just a cousin stumbles through different things throughout the entire speech. Again, compare this to maybe the 2020.

Madrid was last normal state of the union gets at least we had eye which was sort of the pomp and circumstance. Pres. Trump one with the Tuskegee airmen and Rush Limbaugh and all that. That's really the only honestly all the students only what I can even really recall. They'll even edit some of the guys a been there forever like they all got a blur together that it will remember from last night. A lot of our concepts without a lot of action will also really remember is that the Russian Ukraine crisis was just essentially added to the script first five pages get through that and then go back. Probably what was that script that is been written for about those really interesting to see not a huge pivot from what was probably good to be the predict the speech that we are kinda needed during wartime. All right, what will be back in just a moment, you can give us a call.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the state of the union. That's at 1-800-684-3110, 1-800-684-3110. I'm sure you got a lot to say and we want to hear the American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.

Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those who are persecuted for their faith. Uncovering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy and fighting to protect life in the courts and in Congress. ACLJ would not be able to do any of this without your support for that.

We are grateful.

Now there's an opportunity for you to help me way for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift becomes 20 oh $50 gift becomes 100. This is a critical time for the ACLJ. The work we do. Simply would not occur without your generous support to Courtney and her matching challenge today make a difference in the work we do.

Protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most important to you and your family. You forgive today online ACLJ only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is protecting. 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 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 support, and publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist the ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the abortion industry and what Obama care means to the pro-life discover the many ways your membership in the ACLJ is powering the right to life question free copy of mission life today online ACLJ/secular to the more surprising lines that cruises saving and sharing ethic if you're watching my said, I agree with that except for believe I should do anything about this because they were like throwaway lines to conservatives because they were literally one sentence. Here's Biden on the police by 23. We should all agree the answer is not to define the police know all the sudden Joe Biden is this true police. Prolonged order candidate God present intrinsic assembling a candidate actually what it did remind me of the fact of the matter is, candidate for high school principal or Pres. like a you get an extra recess where you have candy for free. That's what felt like again savings like any prescription drugs have free prescription drug market sentiment.

No ideational alligator is a wonder just what things could be great, except for there's no explanation of how to get that this is one explanation that would be going with this.

You know fund the police and you know to secure the borders and immigration reform that sounds great now were in favor of funding. The police were in favor of securing the border and were in favor of immigration from you could say all of those things. Meanwhile, over in Europe there is a war between Russia and Ukraine and we talk about these unbelievably tough sanctions with Joe Biden is responsible. The present United States tough sanctions on Russia except we exempted out their energy transactions so they can sell oil guess who's buying that oil barrels of oil, 600,000 to 800,000 a day. The United States of America Joe Biden closed down the XL pipeline closed it down. It what it produced 830,000 barrels a day.

When is somebody gonna say it is your policies that have allowed Vladimir Putin to do exactly what he's doing and it's really getting bad over there folks in the next day's really bad already. Is it significantly worse than it was even 24 hours ago as a UN has voted to censure Russia that's breaking now and that that's unique because there are a lot of UN member states that would be persuaded by China and Russia and would not be considered part of the West, so the fact they take that step know that's not that the really mean anything.

What is it mean for it's kind like a resolution, Congress it does it, but it's a step forward in the potential war crimes. So if you are devoted to censure when this conflict is over and Vladimir Putin and others could be charged crimes against humanity other war crimes because the targeting of civilians. These, the cluster bombs a music etc. and we don't know how bad it will get this just what's happened so far and you would then need a general assembly because neither Russia nor Ukraine are part of the International Criminal Ct., General silhouettes actually vote to send it to the ICC. This vote is important for that purpose of ultimately holding the Russian aggressors accountable.

We already are team our international team is already looking at the possibility that a referral from wheel wielding the general jurisdiction. We don't believe there's universal jurisdiction with the ICC on nonmember states Russian and Ukrainian. Neither one of which are members of the profession was a nice day for the general assembly can make a referral of what's interesting here loving you.

So what's the significance of it. The significance of it.

It's telling Vladimir Putin.

He is isolating himself from the rest of the world now is I can to stop him from what is going Ukraine right now is a look at the pictures. I don't think it stops them, but it does send a message, but we have to toughen up the sanctions work we have to bring the Russian economy to its knees. Literally, we need to see a financial collapse in Russia. You will see if that happens I think this is at least it's a step at a look.

Everyone's kind of debated even with our own staff here were all a bit split on what the next steps should be what we do need to do.

How far do you go to escalate this and it's a tough time people see these images just like they did Afghanistan, which by the way got your reference during the state of the union. Maybe the biggest blunder mistake in our lifetime are not a reference and you wheel we've produced your that we produced a film series audit and the President didn't even put it into a sentence in the speech, but people see the imagery that's coming out of Ukraine and the American people. They want help. They want to do something they don't just want to sit around and say oh it's so bad. You see, everyone sitting in there last night. Speech with her Ukrainian flags and you wonder how much is just virtue, signaling, and how much is real and you want to be able to really step up when you need to. What that means is his very different. It can mean many different things yet why what I am a catchers on this UN vote just so people understand the kind of depth was 141 to 5 with 35 extension so that means in the future if there was a vote on sending that the ICC it was that the votes are there which means Russia's loss lot influence as well as China on these atrocities that would be a much more serious vote would be what worked a lot more different differently than this censure vote you out.

I wouldn't say it's a guarantee that it does, but it certainly shows at the world is moving global saying that not exactly sure what to do. Everybody in the world. But they know there's a note letting them know they are going to be just giving Russia passing this within this verse would've been fairly quiet, kind of like will be by predict which was the role and with a little violence in not take over the government. I don't think you would give these folks even at you and I know it was Venkat of units, an interesting commentary, though also on presence eludes him want to get Logan's comments on this because as a guy that was a lawyer by training, by the way to practice law. He was a he was an entertainer and his ability to communicate, I think, has done the Ukrainian people a tremendous benefit. Yeah, everyone is very very pro Ukraine around the world. Sure there's issues with Ukraine you can go into those but people art because it doesn't matter they're not seeing the killing of children from the other side from Ukraine. So clearly there is a good and bad. There certainly bad and way worse in the way worse is certainly the fact that Russia has gone and done this so much so that you saw political commentators yesterday not questioning the health and well-being of Vladimir Putin and from Pelosi and Rubio both of them were saying we think something is dramatically roughly the two with this guy because he has changed so dramatically in his tone and rhetoric over the last few months that what could possibly have a lot of speculation but I don't know partners feel like the guys a dictator and eventually these guys get this way you will eat certainly unite big yogis was KGB trained KGB rents a phone call one 800 684 30 went in your reaction of the state of the Union message, your reaction to the state of the world right now will take your calls and 800 684 30 went to make an interesting call already coming and let take it David is calling for Miller David Maryland earlier morning but why not go near their line. Okay, why would UN peacekeeping troops not sent him a month or two ago. What happened to the UM and why can't they be sending now and marched right up to the borders of the two providences that the provinces that are said to be Russian UN peacekeeping troops when you usually have either a resolve situation that cease-fire for cease-fire to going to to protect they ceased to cut a hole the cease-fires they go into the no man's land area between like if you if was Russian Ukraine see go into the no man's land. There may a buffer zone, and they put troops there.

There's job is to monitor both the troop movements on both sides and to make sure because their arm didn't and they are troops that if someone tries to be aggressive to prevent that from happening, but ultimately you know that those peacekeepers unfortunately not in the these have had tough situations. If war breaks out, they move out because that's not their job is not to stop worth one side starts going full full speed ahead. And so this is not the situation with that they would be prepared to go it ultimately profit maybe if there's pastry but there has to be some kind of cease-fire list the other end of history.

The other aspect of this ignoring into later. The broadcast is the whole middle aspect of this and that is if NATO country were to send in troops. That's not an attack that will be distilled same pole and said you know we got in. This is getting out of hand. More the country being involved. That's different than an attack on one is an attack on all the there's a whole dispute about how that would actually plant plan output to the possibility of escalation here is really serious in my view, because I think Vladimir Putin is in a corner and he's got this big convoy on the how they can take that convoy out of it if it's me it's mind-boggling to me but maybe stop we just don't know but that's what concerned but was no confidence that you don't like personalities like my report getting backed into a corner because if you can't indwell it doesn't end well so that is honestly a big concern is much different, so we'll see what happens with that. But you're right it was a tacked on part of the speech, the beginning talk about Ukraine moved on to other things moved on to the border, moved on to the police here saves all that we have to do for the board gets wrapped up lost innovation.

Meantime, the Democrats are blocking for an offer being rescheduled to a drug that matters is that there's a where everyone sees through it. People throwing stuff at their television because they know what they're saying is just certainly not true. If you even have the other outlets, not just a conservative news outlet before the speech going once again to say how thinking to make anyone feel better and that we know he did know he did not and he said what he did was he squandered his best opportunity to look like a President like commander-in-chief of the most powerful country in the world to address our country and the world. There's a people really watching Ukraine you with immediate response was, that's not what they wanted to hear that. I know that they may want something so we don't want to do it and feel like that was any had a confidence building, and in any kind of threat to Vladimir either so internationally. The speech was panned domestically by the way, I mean they were Democrats watching commenting after they were like trying to find something about refinancing. Everyone said destroyed only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is, 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 and 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 abortion industry and what Obama care means to the pro-life in many ways your membership is empowering the right question free copy mission life today online ACLJ/American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.

Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those who are persecuted for their faith. Uncovering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy fighting to protect life reports and in Congress.

ACLJ would not be able to do any of this without your support for that. We are grateful. Now there's an opportunity for you to help me way for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift comes 20 oh $50 gift becomes 100. This is a critical time for the ACLJ. The work we simply would not occur without your generous take part in our matching challenge make a difference in protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most important to you. You forgive today online ACLJ to secular. We are a tearful close to 164 3110 about where to get to some of the NATO talk last night by present by because he got real emotional and it's about that except for grades on a NATO member, other countries that Russia might want to look to next are also not NATO members. Yet there are some down the line that did against smaller NATO countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, but we even saw Lukashenko from Belarus. He was giving them a presentation about the Russian invasion with maps and on the map he had mulled over Mark.

So the question is, is that the next place they want to go. Which by the way, borders Ukraine and is not a member of NATO, so would not invoke article 5 I want to take Linda's competency in line to get into more the NATO issue by think I'm tickling the first table and welcome to secular you're on the will thank you for taking my collar away from last night that I'd like to hear you guys have to say. The first lien was when he said that you cannot build a wall high enough and then he stopped and then referred to code. I thought that was the thing that saves word and then secondly something that bothered me for a long time is that at the end of every speech he only said God bless our troops. He never said countless American debates going on, you know, here's the thing that Lynn did it appreciate your call. Look, there's a lot we could take a partier when I'm worried about right now and I asked Col. Smith this is the speech only one play this let's play the this is the this is the NATO statement from Joe Biden legislator site seven and gay and will not engage in a conflict of Russian forces in Ukraine are forces not going to Europe to fight Ukraine to defend our NATO allies event the Putin decides to keep moving west for that purpose we mobilized American ground forces air squadrons ship deployments to protect NATO countries, including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. As I made crystal clear United States and our allies will defend every inch of territory that is NATO territory for that.

Sounds really great. We will go to defend this but as I talked to Col. Smith.

When we were in a radio prep meeting. This means that American troops if this were to happen. What everybody understand this would be shooting at Russian troops and vice a versa. Yeah you not talk this when I went back and little more research on that article 5 of the NATO charters only been invoked once that was on September 13, two days after we were attacked, but you go back and you read the article and what it says is that your an attack on one is an attack on all. However, each ally is responsible for deterrent for determining what it deems necessary to respond in an attack. It doesn't but not all are automatically included military force. Interesting enough.

Also, the pew research foundation did a poll would do you think you should include military force.

This is done before you are Ukraine was invaded 40% of German said yes military force, 53% of Brits and 53% of the French only 62% of Americans said that should include military force to the bottom line. James you and I talked earlier, it is not a given that military forces would be sent and is not a given that all 30 NATO countries would agree to do that and it's certainly not a given that it would be popular how in America. How do you how do you control if there was an incursion into even if it was by Gen. going rogue Russian military leader going wrong. How do you control a military conflict at that point between the United States military and the Russian military think you do. I think what he says will fund you Europeans or fight your battles and yet I forget countries there when I die in the Russians like you and I talked early. It could mean World War III and the use of some point of nuclear weapons. I mean this yes I know she would night and I know this is contrary. But I do not see now sending American troops.

I think you think what you take to defend yes but not to you think.

I think you take what Lester said what we could do is provide unbelievable support financially militating to go die for their country's that this is not doesn't have to become World War III if they're unwilling to do that in their countries fall behind. I cannot think that's where we are right now it's they can provide him with every weapon much better than we did in Ukraine because these are NATO allies again at 35 think they could pose real threat, but they have to be willing to die for their country's embarrassed sons and daughters to go die for their countries freedom if they're unwilling to do it with all the support we could give them why do we have to send our guys to do it for them when we heard from again. We heard from a lot of our friends in these regions have no militaries that's their problem. The rich countries unwilling to spend on firepower right know that Joe is a lie. We finally say okay we do have to step in. Because we did it with God enough to decide, okay, so what, what's the definition of mass mass targeted execution of civilians like concentrations and start leveling. Ukraine decided to work but also because he had so much time to leave well. Article 6 the following article in a charter actually defines what is considered an attack and is an attack on territory is an attack on forces vessels or aircraft of any of the NATO countries. It does not spell out anything other than an armed attack for minute it's in Washington, New York you're in Washington you wouldn't take with you and the New York Jets voted surprisingly did I mean I was surprised that Tom tells what's happened here.

Yeah, this is a pretty overwhelming vote in J. Typically, if Russia were to be condemned or censored, which by the way, it's almost never any country other than Israel.

The tougher center, but it was Russia. This time, and typically their dominance in providing energy to move multiple segments of the world would mean that they would win a vote like this J but were on the floor of the Gen. assembly because Russia blocked the resolution at the Security Council on Friday. Jenny just took the vote in 141 members of the hundred and 93 members of the Gen. assembly voted to condemn this invasion.

There were only five that voted no. Was Belarus North Korea Eritrea Russia and Syria now 33 did abstain, but Jake is quickly doing the math, you need two thirds to pass a resolution like this so they needed somewhere around 120 vote votes.

They got 141, and J. Interestingly enough, Switzerland voted yes they almost never do that for something like this in China abstained with China not stating actually is is is almost an accomplished Midwest as you look at right now militarily what is look like in the next couple of days. Say what you know, Ukraine is pushing for us to to provide a no-fly zone over the country. I think that is that is a no go.

That means that our US pilots would be countering Russian pilots in helicopters and fixed wing aircraft over Ukraine. I think Ukrainians are holding on by the skin of their teeth. I am proud of what you're doing unless the world stepped in with more. Really sanctions that have real teeth and then that include Russian energy energy which right now does not unless it happens, Ukraine will ultimately fall. We hope that doesn't happen Jordan. If it does include Russian energy, their country will follow up Russia will fall apart, it will be in serious financial doesn't it doesn't clue if it doesn't could see right now. This is the big scam being pulled on the American people as we think we've done these unbelievable sanctions on Russia. What that's that's extra earnings for the Russian people. The leaders in Russia. So long as they could sell their gas with providing still in an oil guess what, that's that that's 1/3 of their economy so as long as that is okay to stop the invasion into Ukraine to lighten up.

This is the state of the union that gave prison by the opportunity speak to the world they were tuning in. That's not common only in times of war, usually so the world was tuning in, Ukrainians, Ukrainian President, the Russians potent the Europeans are allies and of course the American people. Most importantly, he spends about 10 minutes talk about Ukraine the beginning but gets to know resolution about what were actually going to do or has he gotten Europe to decide to do anything outside of the US to better secure the Ukrainians who are being having the cities leveled as we speak right now and again. This idea you know he was as fervent about defending NATO countries as he was about not sending US troops into Ukraine. You know I II do soup agree with that. I just wonder this seems like there's a build up here to war and he's saying that now he's waiting for something to happen that they would be as effort Tulsa GABA like say this military-industrial complex likes to would seize on is a reason why to say you know what nevermind getting away know this is the end of the great concern here.

We we were in a work very animated on this because we have offices around the globe at the American Center for Law and Justice. We are very active at the United Nations in the year ahead two years and we have a lot more active up there over there in a parent and the fact of the matter is I think we have to be clear here in West Col. Smith and the last thing we gave a no percentages on the pupil of Americans lesson was a lesson about 40% of supporting sending US troops to defend the NATO country if attacked. Jordan took the view and I think I and I agree with that is I would fund the Europeans as much as they needed. I get them as much ammo as I knew it would do at church church was begging in World War II for the United States to send the ammunition to send the ship suspended that the of the finances.

I will make the Europeans beg for it.

I would say listen at your war working upon you every way we can. But the days of the United States going into just doing this, especially when you're looking at the photo is Russia that is a big big deal. So the question is the President of United States you're talking really tough except work taking it 800,000 barrels of Russian oil a day in the United States a day in your closed the pipeline that would've allowed us to produce 830,000 barrels a day, so work monster energy independence at a time when Russia aggressions is is incredibly on display for the world to see and alive think Ukrainian militaries been very brave and Zelinski's done a great job. We know what were we deal in these regions of the world.

This is not the United States. This is in France or Europe. This is Ukraine I'm praying for those people praying for the leadership but in there and they put up a valiant fight. So far, but Russia has not let yet unleashed their military might and that's where I'm concerned. This holding escalates up out of control of diving that builds ecstasy said one 1001 1000th of what the Russians could release unleash on Ukraine.

So when you hear statements like this from the present was played quickly diving from the state of the union. It's it's not like confidence by 32 Circle K tanks but I'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people who never love of freedom and he will never never weaken the resolve of the free world.

So I guess what documents yet Iranian people, but also hearts and souls of people at a barbecue. They were to be crushed at that point is just giving you To see was ultimately one day there might be a spirit much Ukraine is to take back their home but what kind of it already. You really listen to it. It's like it's over already and and that is not inspiring.

Ukrainians who are just looking for more military assistance, you know that your European countries voluntarily into this that invoking NATO and they can go in a no-fly zone at the planes you give them credit for not willing to do it their own neurocognitive American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.

And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice defend the rights of life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission will show you how you personally. Publication includes a look at all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the worship ministry and what Obama care means to the many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission life today online/secular joy right now by Congressman Gary LaHood from Illinois 18th initial district Congressman LaHood. We appreciate be aware that city serve the House Intel committee use. You were at the state of the union. Let me just ask Eddie put out a statements about the state of the union.

A lot of failed policies already in it. I thought it was this unique opportunity for present United States because they don't always get this Congressman where it such as the American people that might be turning in.

But Vladimir Putin, the Russian people Ukrainian people Ukrainian present in our European allies.

What did you take from the state of the union last night a personal banker have me on good to be with you and your listeners a couple things that I thought you know is beginning of the union talking about Ukraine I thought was pretty good on being united supporting Zelinski supporting the Ukrainian people.that was good. Obviously, 90% of the speech was based on domestic policy and I think it was lot of empty rhetoric.

We talked about defunding police meet. Why wasn't he mentioned that two years ago when BLM was burning down federal buildings and desecrating them in committing crime. So it's a little hard to listen to that talking about, you know, securing the southern border, you know, his rhetoric hasn't matched any of that. You know he Torah President trumps Mexico contractual obligation on day one. He continued to do everything to keep the door open so listen. I'm all for being united on Ukraine. I think there's many events that want to be there on that.

I thought that was positive but you know in terms of the state of our union when it comes to our domestic policy. It is very very weak like to talk about the go back to Ukraine for moment were still importing from Russia, a 600,000 800,000 barrels of oil a day. Now here's what is mind-boggling to me.

If we are really trying to put on sanctions that really matter in court the President President and close down the pipeline that would produce 830,000 barrels a day here in United States. If we were really trying to do crippling sanctions. That's the word that everybody likes to use.

You would think one would think that we would stop taking their royal which is what propping their economy up right now which is in real trouble and probably would bring it to its knees.

What you're exactly right on that we are getting everything obey on those 600,000 barrels of oil were given $75 million a day that goes directly into its coffers mean that's actually that could happen tomorrow, it can happen on Friday.

It can happen on Saturday. We have the ability to shut that off now to your point yet where we get to make up those 500 600,000 barrels, about me. This should been thought about a year ago or two years ago when Biden came in initially 14 months go check on the Keystone pipeline on day one should been thought about when we had energy and independence under present truck but clearly that wasn't thought of insult where network amoebae and put us in a very very tough spot because if we cut out that oil gas prices skyrocket and but it in some ways, cutting off that $75 million from who I think is worth doing, but because there wasn't a lot of forethought that went into this and a lot of planning left with again decisions being made by Biden that put us in a very tough spot. So the House Intel committee picture classified information that you been getting a lot of briefings with a lot of briefings from the Congress on those committees and the American people. I think they see the image that Ukraine they do understand how horrific it is, there is still I think it's not even fair to say division about whether American support engaging in a no-fly zone, which is like getting into war, but they certainly are bit confused. Where are your colleagues right now where you and your colleagues right now when it comes to further assistance. Ukraine well we we hear a lot of J we hear a lot about lethal weapons and getting them to Ukraine. Her great javelins are great assault weapons are fine, but when we had when they have to face the light and the power of Russia.

Unfortunately, those are going to work until Loretta real inflection point J on what we do if we went had some sense and insight and what it planned accordingly and been doing things a year ago we could give me a Black Hawk helicopter. Right now there is nobody in Ukraine to comply Black Hawk helicopter giving a missile defense system. I'm sorry patriot missile defense systems. The missiles were coming into Russia they don't have those looking at further high capacity drones and UAVs have the capacity to apply those looking at Hillcrest F-16 but none of those can be flown by anybody in Ukraine right elsewhere in a tough spot and so what is Nino going to do to step up. What else can we do to give them the firepower that they need and frankly J that really concerns me.

I know I look at passing a package next week it's going to continue to give more weapons, but you know what what were up against with Russia is that you know it's it's very very difficult to overcome, with what Ukraine has right now I want to go to a domestic issue for moment because the President mentioned securing the border and fixing the immigration situation. United States now. I got working on this for 30 years in the border was being secured in the previous administration, and an present binding stop that some try to figure out Congressman of your colleagues who see talking to hear well you know that it's an election year and he knows he's on the wrong side of the American people on this by a large margin. I mean J you look at we were letting in 400,000 people a month. Last summer, absolutely crazy people blatantly violating the law. We had the lowest levels of immigration on our southern border. Under present trump under the policy that you and lots of others were engaged with because we work with the Mexicans we work that Central American company country we got it under control.

You know, we worked on the border wall. We worked with our border patrol agent that work supporting the rule of law work, his rhetoric last night. I don't believe one word of it.

I think it's because he knows he's in a very, very difficult election cycle and so far underwater in the post of ethically and in its again I don't think you'll see any stop policies put forth, or any changes in terms of what he's doing at 740 to go against his radical socialist left you spoke to these issues. Issues that a party failed in Congress party voted down in Congress and for all the cases looks like there'll be a lot of Republicans in the house serving with you the majority and likely the Senate as well and yet present. Biden went back to basically go back better. He didn't say build back better, but it was the parts of bill back better than a party failed in Congress. What I mean when you when I talk to people in Peoria, Illinois where I represent me. They can't believe the high cost of paying their electric bill filled the car up with gas going to buy groceries.

It's crazy and so the way you would do when you fix that if you stop spending money we spent $7 trillion of taxpayer money in the last two years that deficit spending so much money/around the economy. I know that's what leading to inflation and supply chain issues and not getting people to work. We just incentivize people work I need to stop anybody but to your point J what he talked about last night more government programs, raising the minimum wage, more government programs for healthcare more when it comes to education taxing businesses and corporations going the wrong way. The exacerbate all of these things that are driving inflation and unfortunately we have to capital I should say fortunately we as Republicans have to capitalize on this election year and make sure that we rub his nose in it was 18th congressional district. Thanks so much for joining us your thoughts on the state of the union as you as you attended and because your role that house until committee. I know all that information Ukraine that you shared the people just want this kind information, appreciate you.

I join this Congressman was correct, the phones 100-684-3110 Tim in Virginia on line 1 a Tim Jordan. Nice talking to you. I want to make the American people aware of an agreement that we have with Ukrainians is called the Budapest 1994 memorandum and its final that the United Nations as a treaty but basically it was a deal brokered by the Clinton Administration for Ukraine to give up over 4000 ICBMs on their soil.

In exchange for security promise to buy us in the United Kingdom. In the event that Russia invaded what is happened it was.

There were opportunities that's going to effect under under Pres. Obama and a member 2014. You also had a secrecy of the annexation of Crimea.

They get a didn't do anything there. Then in 2014 there is a revolution.

Ukraine overthrew the pro-Kremlin government support and said that memorandum now is null and void because the government that signed that agreement is a different is is no longer present. They were thrown out illegally by revolution, not by vote and because of that he doesn't see it as holding any weight on the other hand, the US didn't do anything either sober through opportunities to do it right with Crimea and with the Eastern Ukraine invasion. So with both of those opportunities came from the Obama administration. They didn't act so you start not acting on these agreements. Yes of those agreements become meaningless now is interesting. Ukraine did the nuclear eyes, but if you really want to know the story. There they had no operational control. This goes back to this whole issue over those weapons to Russian nukes. The Russians had the codes they were just in Ukraine that tells you the partnership. There was one that existed in the post-Soviet world into the 1990s between Russia and Ukraine Ukrainian nukes that they gave up Russian nukes were decommissioned because Ukrainians had no control over. These are all things you need to know to get deeper and deeper into this, only one.

A society can agree most vulnerable invoice is, 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, called mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists ramifications. 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the street and what Obama care means many ways your membership is powering the right question mission life today online/American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.

Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those covering corruption in Washington fighting to protect life and the court said in Congress. ACLJ would not be able to do any of this.

For that we are grateful.

Now there's an opportunity to help way time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift comes 20 $50 gift becomes 100. This is a critical time for the ACLJ. The work we simply would not occur without your generous matching challenge make a difference in protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms you forgive today online okay back to secular 01 for the domestics which I wanted to get to because it feels just absurd and others want to play for you and it was about the US economy and basically a little bit of America first by Joe Biden. We heard from Congressman LaHood would talk to everybody in selection year present by nose that sister throw these keywords out meticulous.

Despite this does not sound like the Joe Biden ran for President.

It certainly doesn't like the Democrat party.

One way to fight inflation is drive down wages make Americans poor.

I think have a better idea to fight inflation low cost matching wages or jobs regenerate a good living in America. Instead of relying on foreign supply chains that make it in America seals the and he said to go to Columbus, Ohio. The springlike $20 billion but then he said if you pass legislation so you been working to be spending $20 billion for Intel, or private company rights of these companies will not invest in the US unless we are paying for thoroughly paying a significant something that they needed something when do without legislation with tax breaks or others as is going.

Yet there tells not to do this was we pay for. So that was but that that that's the politics that yesterday we talked on the broadcast was just breaking that there was reports that Ukraine had been granted candidacy status at European Union which would bring in all kind of mutual defense treaties. We got into it. Our team got into its annual what's the status right now, Percival of Ukraine as a baseline application. While the President formally for the presence of Linsky formally applied to join the European Union and is asked for fast-track admittance due to the Russian invasion would tentative course in seventh day to day what I can report to you is that the European Parliament which is the European Union's legislative branch gave a boost to Ukraine's hopes of one day joining it by urging the leaders to block to buy by voting by 637 to 13 to give recommending that the 27 member nation of the EU give Ukraine candidate status. They have not yet achieved candidate status decisions on admitting new members to the EU must be taken unanimously by the blog will have a plan, national governments, the expectation is that the vote could take place on Friday, which then brings in old it was like a call, but that brings in the whole treaty issues that we talked about in the mutual defense which could complicate it more. Although to Jordan's point maybe gets the Europeans to do what they're supposed to do yet.

I don't think anybody right now in America would be with the's with B against Gordo country like the UK or France or Germany saying Hugo is way better weapons go fight the war fighter your people voluntarily enter don't you attack no NATO you go put your troops and you got in a refueling at 20 30,000 a pilot they have sophisticate five fighter pilot. They could take out that chit supply chain.

They could probably not, but that would mean them time to protect your not us that we could give them everything they need to do it, but some of them would be killed. They're unwilling to do that was written to let them drag us into being there hammer think this is not in the since World War II was as these are countries that have militaries that have sophisticated aircraft that have sophisticated arms that some have nuclear weapons. The list goes on. We need to be clear, we need to be clear, we would find and probably support those efforts to voluntarily enter the conflict. But they're not willing to do it here. Not yet. So far they've not been willing to live with brings up an interesting question will take a call among your brain and that is what is the prospect of the assessment unanimously set has to be unanimous. 27 member nations of the European Union have to unanimously vote and when they vote.

They know that that triggers the defendant tried under article 47, 42.7 of the mutual defense because the treaty is triggered. In addition to what's called article 222 the solidarity clause and that includes the implementation of the meters rated military resources made available by the member states. George talk about Laura in Idaho online to a lot Ukraine fight about the trend dollar Ukraine clarified that clocking out bowling on the playground a kindergartner when I am watching and what happened and what think that Elizabeth take out anything that then the next day I will look the other way. Likely good training and blood" will he go back to bed. Mentally continue buying gasoline. This Laura cleric is trying to get the audience is thinking would you be in favor of let's say Ukraine unfortunately does fall, so to Russian control and would you want US troops put in to defend okay that's fine. But that means you're fighting the Russians at that point US troops to the mighty powers of nuclear powers, staring each other down. You will learn how that could escalate right very complicated and very creative. We could be dealing creative time to get the Europeans you engage this not directly because it's a European war they failed to do this for themselves throughout modern history. They've always knew the US believe that we back them up with the weapons that we have the capabilities we can get it in today that entire Russian convoy to be taken out by a number of different European countries.

I would hasn't been as unreal voluntarily entering see there too afraid to do that because they're not willing to die like Americans are Americans were willing to fight and die for liberty is Europeans never really been willing to do that always needed us to fight their battles that sublets because other countries are smaller like the UK they been willing to fight and die, but there's a small. That being said, that being said, they could have the they can have the weapons that the Jets let them fight the battle and I think that the US complete unbelievable role in backing up the economies of those countries, so I think Jordan is actually right. We've in the 20th century, twice taken the Europeans lines and save them if you will. In World War I we did that we came into the world with American troops in World War II. We did that when we came in with American side and there was a lot of the it's a different situation, but this is a European war and the Europeans are going to have to step up to the plate and defend themselves and be interesting to see if they do actually on Friday just because were used to these wars are not try to take away any like where was seen three or 4000 US troops killed over over longer time here.

This would be three or 4000 killed the day because you be having countries that both have the mother of all bombs dropping back and forth, back and forth when those drop everyone that surrounded his debt so it would just be a fighter pilot here risking their life or a soldier there you're talking about.

Entire infantry divisions. It can be on both sides wiped out by very similar weaponry what the rut. We have a better ground force the Russians that's been shown that world with very similar capabilities when it comes to missiles, rockets, and nuclear weapon and that's why we need, pray, pray for peace paper for resolution, but folks is not paid by the Royal I know to arise raise gas prices for a while. I'd rather do that than sitting Americans into harm's way about the American Center for Law and Justice were critical issues at home and abroad for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift becomes $20, $50 gift becomes 100 you can make a difference in protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most to you and your family.
