Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 05-04-22

on buck Sexton. The meltdown is happening all over the place from these libs the mere prospect of the end of their make believe constitutional right to abortion, because even honest leftists and liberals Democrats know that the Supreme Court decision in nineteen seventy three Roe v. Wade was just legal fantasy fiction. It was absolutely cobbled together using verbal smoke screens and nonsense. So that may go away, which means that they would have to actually explain to the

American people. They should explain to the American people what it is they actually believe. And just to give you a sense of it, it's gone quite a long distance here because the Democrat Party until about the last fifteen years or so, had been holding to this notion. They agree that abortion is not something that is a good thing. It's a sad thing, a life maybe even as lost that they would say, but it was necessary for women to be able to make this choice. Essentially, again, a

lot of euphemisms and speaking around the issue. And if you're wondering who took those kinds of positions, I mean, here was Joe Biden back in two thousand and six, little over fifteen years ago saying, well, watch, I do not view abortion as a as a choice and a right. I think it's always a tragedy, and I think that it should be rare and safe, and I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions, and there ought to be able to have a common

ground and consensus as to do that. Oh, it's always a tragedy. Remember that was Joe Biden not too long ago. He's currently the president who acts like the possible overturning of Rov Wade and it has not happened yet, folks. And there's a lot of pressure. We gotta remember, there's a lot of pressure that the left is bringing to bear right now. The whole purpose of the leak was to try to get a change in the decision before the decision is official, So that has to be in

the background of this entire conversation. But Biden then was saying it was a tragedy. Now Biden is part of the chorus of hysteria saying that, oh my gosh, if they overturned Row, you know, they might even ban lgbt children from being in the same classroom as other children. Watch this what happens if you have st chase the law saying that that children who are LGBTQ camp being classrooms with other children? Is that legit under the way that the decisions written. What are the next things that

are going to be attacked? Because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history. There's so much just intellectual dumpster fire going on in that one clip that we played you from the current president United States. First of all, it's not MAGA extreme to be opposed to Row the Wade, the pro life movement, Republicans, conservatives have been opposed to Row v. Wade for fifty years.

There's absolutely nothing in fact, one of the core one of the core tenants, one of the primary goals of the conservative legal movement has been to finally give an honest assessment of the constitutionality of the right to abortion established in Row the Wade, because it's so obviously non exist There is no right to abortion in the Constitution which anybody can see, and there was certainly no implied

right to abortion either. And when you ask people about this to try to even explain why they're so adamant that this exists, you hear all these different explanations because they don't even know. They're just making it up as they go along. But you know the problem with listening to Joe Biden for it. Remember he is technically a lawyer and has been a member of the United States Senate for decades, then was Vice president, now as president.

Has just been just pushed ahead by a Democrat party that loves an empty suit with a big grin, which is what Joe Biden is, and now one in cognitive decline. But to be fair, not only is Joe Biden in a state of cognitive decline. Even in his moments where he seems pretty clear, you are reminded that his legal analysis is what you would expect from somebody who has an IQ that is at about room temperature. Listened to his explanation here of well, the current constitution debate over abortion.

Watch As I said, when I when this his, I was getting on the plane to go down to Alabama. This is about a lot more than abortion. I hadn't read the whole opinion at that time, but this reminds me of the debate with Robert Borke. Borke believed the only reason you had any inherent rights is because the government gave him to you. If you go back and

look at the opening comments. But Biden, when I was questioned him as chairman, I said, I believe I have the rights that I have, not because the government gave him to me, which you believe, but because I'm just a child of God. I exist. So there's a natural law right to abortion? Is Joe Biden make what is he even? What does Joe Biden think he is arguing here?

Forget about what he's actually saying. What in that mind as well as it continues to function with all the cobwebs and the screeching of the mechanism as it just grows more rust over time, what does he think he's saying? Not even clear? It doesn't even matter it's just blather to go on the blather heap of Well, the left wants that the Democrats want this, so they should have it.

This is legally speaking, an indefensible position they've managed to maintain for over fifty years because they say, shut up, we're in charge. We've got what we wanted. Now it can never change. Well, that's actually not how the system works. But as I said, that's what they're planning right now, just to shout down everybody and to even pressure a Supreme Court justice into changing his or her opinion on this one. That's the whole purpose of the leak of

the draft opinion. We all see it. And then there are true morons out there. A Congressman Swallow Welton, among the dumbest members of Congress, which is saying a lot because there are a lot of dumbasses in the Congress. Here he is saying that Republicans won't stop with banning abortion. They want to ban interracial marriage. Do you want to save that, well, then you should probably vote. What is this idiot talking about. No one wants to ban interracial

marriage in the Republican party. This is just distraction, smear tactics and lunacy, lunacy, But what else they gonna do argue the indefensible proposition that abortion was implied in the Constitution. Why Well, because reasons Jamie Raskin, another member of Congress, If Alida's majority destroys the right to privacy, states could jail women and doctors for abortion and contraception offenses. They could also compel women to be sterilized for unfitness to reproduce,

as Virginia sterilized thousands in last century. So their argument now seems to be I hate this Supreme Court decision. Therefore I'm just going to make up that they're going to do crazy things in the Supreme Court that no one's arguing for because it will scare people. That seems to be. Yes, there have been poor Supreme Court decisions in the past, and then they were overturned. And what they can't seem to figure out is that plan is that planned parenthood be Casey and Roe v. Wade is

on the wrong side of the Constitution. It has now been righted. So they don't seem to get it right. They keep saying, oh my gosh, we could just do the same thing. Them say, so, wait, are they are they plus a versus Ferguson advocate separate versus equal, or are they Brown v. Board of Education, Equal and due process for all, Equal rights for all. I'm just wondering,

is that where do they come down on this issue? Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just scare tactic and planned parenthood of course, which has been running abattoirs for infants for

decades now. It's disgusting. Here they are with the CEO saying, don't worry, We're going to get all the rage out there from particularly from women who go home to sad houses that they're alone in with cat watch that when they found out what was happening in Texas, they started filling state houses in Florida, they started filling state houses in other places because they know that the fight right

now is on the ground and in these states. And so we're going to continue to capture that rage, and we're going to continue to make sure that they understand who is accountable right now. The last administrative at last administration appointed three justices who are will be responsible for us losing a constitutional right that we have held for

forty nine years because it was a lie. That right was a lie all along well, I'm more on the fallout from the league decision, with author and columnist David Marcus coming up here in a moment, let's talk about protecting your home. I'm not somebody who gets all freaked out about things I don't have to, but when I heard about home title this is really worried because it's so easy for the bad guys to do this. Some cyber thief forges your name off the title of your

home because your home title exists online. Then they take out loans against your home and guess what, you don't find out until the payment demands arrive or perhaps even the viction notice. Well, can you need to protect yourself normal identity? That programs don't work. You need home title lock. All you have to do right now is go to hometitlelock dot com and you can check and see if you're a victim of this crime and don't even know it. Go to home titlelock dot com again. That's home title

loock dot com. Protect your home today. Protect your title with hometitle lock dot com. David Marcus up next, those Republican leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women. What we say, how dare they? How dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? How dare they? How dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? How dare they try to deny women they

are rights and their freedoms. Vice President Kamala Harris expressing outrage at the prospect of Americans losing the right to kill the unborn or as Democrats called menstruating persons rights. Of course, Supreme Court has seemingly prepared to correctly decide that this was never a constitutional right in the first place.

We know the left is claiming the recently leaked Supreme Court decision or would be decision is just the latest evidence of extremism within the Republican Party, even though Conservatives have been openly campaigning to overturn row for over fifty years. Email Democratic lawmakers promising to introduce legislation to codify the right to an abortion without limitation to federal law, positions so extreme that it's been rejected by nearly every single

Western nation on the planet. Who are really the radicals here? What I mean now is author and columist David Marcus.

David good to have you thanks, Bud. I have to say one of the challenges here in this now, this this sort of frenzy, in this moment of hysteria, is that the people that claim that they're so certain that they have the answers here on the left about why abortion is so important and there are even say sacred to them, have a whole variety of different arguments that are offered up, that are offering even in contradiction to the other arguments from their own side, like oh, no,

one's actually saying that a third trimester abortion would be okay, what in fact that is what a lot of Democrats an activists say. Oh yeah, I mean there are there are activists who think that killing a baby after they've already been born is something that ought to be on the table. You know, Look, there's a huge shift in the language of the Democratic Party over the last twenty

five years in regard to abortion. We don't hear safe legal and rare anymore right that that was the go to and safe legal and rare acknowledged that there was a tragic loss of a human life when an abortion took place, but it said, look, this is a nuanced situation. Today. We're in the age of celebrate your abortion, you know, go to brunch with your friends, get a cake. You know. Yeah, it's it's sad and disturbing, but it's it's not new buck, I mean, we've been I think kat Apollock wrote the

book pro in twenty fourteen. I might be off on that it's something like that, but that really announced this of like, this is not something that we apologize for anymore. This is something that we think is an unreconstructed good. Kirsten Powers, who I believe is a Yeah, she's a Democrat strategist whatever that means at CNN. Yes, same idea I said. If you think abortion is wrong, don't get an abortion. It's not okay to impose is your religious

views on others. Why should a Jew, a Muslim, etc. Have to live according to your interpretation of the Bible. If you don't get this, please don't ever use the phrase religious freedom again. And it's amazing how many people in public life that are supposed to understand politics and at some level constitutional law, even if they're not actually lawyers, just don't know what the hell they're talking about. I mean,

just just blather on. They clearly never read the draft decision that you know, Alito was writing for the five justices who we believe are going to be voting to over term. This hasn't happened yet. There's so much ignorance from people that are supposed to know, and I find that troubling too, David. Yeah, I mean, murders illegal, you know, and in the Ten Commandments that says thou shalt not kill. That's not some conflict of church and state. It's absurd.

I mean, look, yes, there are religious reasons why people oppose abortion. There are also very strong scientific reasons, you know, including the fact that these babies can feel pain is they're being ripped apart. So yeah, it's it's I think the response is troubling, and I think that we've reached a point where, you know, I wrote an article two years ago for The Federalist and I said, this is war now. And I do think it's war. I think either you believe that killing babies is bad or you

don't believe the killing babies is bad. I think all the nuance has been lost out of this conversation. And then of course you hear some of the some of the I guess constitutional or legal analysis that's out there. I get here. Here's an example. MSNBC's Ellie Misstall on how the reason the Founding Fathers I don't know if you know this, David. The reason the Founding Fathers didn't write in an abortion constitutional rights which clearly does not exist,

but they pretended it did. But anyway, the reason they didn't do it is because they're they're bad people. Watch Alito's fundament. It's a legal reasoning is that abortion is not a fundamental right because it doesn't go back to the Founding because the Founding Fathers didn't recognize abortion as a fundamental right. And he's right about that. The Founding Fathers didn't recognize abortion as a fundamental right because the Founding Fathers were racist, misogynist jerk faces who didn't believe

that women had any rights at all. I mean, there there you go. Wait, knew, I mean, I I what do you mean? I knew that the Founding Fathers are racist, misogynist jerk faces. You didn't know that. We all know that at this point, right, I mean, that's the that's but but but that really but that speaks to the point, right, So, uh, the Founders were racist, misogynist jerk faces. I'm sure I'm that as well. Um, and so now we have to

abandon everything that they did. Uh, you know, David, somehow there was the rowe created the belief that the Founding Fathers actually did create somehow a constitutional right. It was a constitutional right. They didn't argue it was a natural law right. It was a constitutional right to abortion. So it used to be the Founding Fathers were geniuses beyond the likes of which we could have never They essentially

had a time machine. They could go in the future and see that this procedure would happen, and they wrote it into the Constitution. Now that they lose it though their their jerk faces, that's what I mean. Look, look, look, look, I don't know have you ever seen a picture of the Supreme Court that decided row. Yeah, because it's not a Banatton had my friend, you know, it's seven seven white guys were allowed to come up with the abortion

law initially, right, that's how. Yeah, that was fine. That was totally okay for those seven white guys to express their opinion on rob wage. Do you think it's fair to say now because I put this out there and I know this really annoys people on the left. But I think it's actually true. I think that the left is a political ideology is just turned into a lot

of verbal smoke screens and winding around. I want what I want, and the system, politics, the law, whatever it is, has to give me what I want or else throw the whole system over. No, it's exactly right. You know, I have a piece up at Fox at Fox News today, you know where I talk about all these baseless accusations of racism, right, Elon Musk's a racist and Tucker Carlson's a racist. And what's most insidious about this it is not the fact that these are baseless, ridiculous claims, even

though they are. What's most insidious is that the message the left sends is not only does their racism allow you to not engage with their ideas, it compels you to do so. To engage with the ideas of you or me or Tucker or Elon are these people, is to legitimize systemic racism. And so you just can't do it. It's the death of discord and it's the death of democracy. And I mean that's what we're seeing. Eli Mistell isn't

making serious arguments. We know he's not. What I don't know is whether this is a cynical political tactic or whether this is something these people actually believe. But either way, the result is the same, and it's really bad. I always going to see you, David. Appreciate the perspective. Thanks Buck. Conservative author jd.

Night and Ohio as GOP senate candidate JD. Vance won convincingly in the state primary against the strongest opponent, Josh Mandel. Vance vaulted to the lead in this primary after winning former President Donald Trump's endorsement last month, which came as a surprise to many since Vans not too long ago was an outspoken critic of both Trump and the Trump agenda, but last night he had nothing but praise for Trump

during his victories. Phy, I have absolutely got to think the forty five the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, Ladies and gentlemen. A lot of the fake news media out there, and there are some good ones in the back. There there's some bad ones too, Let's be honest. But they wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of Donald Trump's America First Agenda, Ladies and gentlemen, it ain't the death of the America First Agenda.

Is one of the first big primary races in the books. Here is this giving us a hint of what is going to unfold in the months ahead and leading into these midterms. Let's talk to the man who's got answers on this and a lot of things. CEO of American Majority Ned Ryan Ned. Good to see you, buddy, a book. So big win for Jady Vans, but big win in a sense for Donald Trump too. Tell us about it. Yeah, last night was incredible for Trump. He went twenty two

and oh in the Indiana and Ohio primaries. Of course, the one that was getting all the attention on the national front was the Ohio Republican Ohio Senate primary, in which it was JD. Vance and Josh Mandel and five or six other candidates. Pretty interesting to see the dynamics playout book over the last two and a half weeks called eighteen Days, in which you know, JD got the endorsement on April fifteenth. My only quibble was that that

I wish it had happened about thirty days earlier. JD gets the endorsement Club for Growth doubles down on their backing of Josh Mandel. But a lot of people don't know is that over the last twelve days or so, Club for Growth spent three to four million on television ads in defiance of Trump endorsement. Trump also doubled down. Obviously, Donald Trump Junior doubled down, was in Ohio working very

hard on behalf of JD vance. I mean this shows that Trump is still the kingmaker in Republican primaries, despite the fact that Club for Growth spent all that money against JD in the last call it two weeks, But it was about thirty million that was spent on behalf of Josh Mandel or by Josh to actually try and win this nomination, outspending JD by best I can dell

by about a two to one margin. So pretty incredible when you realize there was fourteen points made up over the last eighteen days by JD from the endorsement until his victory last night, he was down six points. Got the endorsement wins by just over eight last night, and it's pretty impressive what Trump is able to do in these Republican primaries. Here is the percentage breakdown you just

kind of alluded to it there. Ned jd Vance got thirty two percent of the Ohio Senate primary vote and Josh Mendel twenty three percent, So not only a win, but a pretty considerable margin. Here it is, you said, a flip of what had seemed to be the case not long ago based on the polling. With that in mind, I mean, now the most important thing is obviously with a very I mean, I think it's gonna be. And I'm actually curious what your predictions are for how we're

looking in general for GOP control of the Senate. But Tim Ryan on the Democrat side, he's gonna be. He is their nominee, and he took a little shot Advance last night. Watch this. The work is just beginning, The fight is just beginning. We're gonna heal the country, heel Ohio and in turn, heal the United States of America. I will promise you victory. Let's go, let's make this happen. Let's get this seed now. Obviously you and I are Republicans,

were conservatives, so we're rooting for Vance here. But how do you think, I mean, if you're just giving me the you know, the pre the pre fight highlights here or rather prefight analysis, pardon me, not highlights, tell me how you think he stacks up against Vance. He's gonna

get crushed. I mean, this is a state that Trump won by eight points both times in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, and tack onto it a year like twenty twenty two in which you have a deeply unpopular Democratic president in the White House, in which in platitions out of control, and you're telling me that you think Tim Ryan's going to be competitive in a state like Ohio, Buck, I would think is probably going to be seven eight point.

When for JD, I said publicly in an op ed not too long ago, and which I said, first of all, is a great endorsement by Trump or j D. Because I believe in Road to Damascus a fifth piece, did j D sayson some ridiculous stuff six years ago? Yeah, and we go through it actually multiple times, and which I said, you better double down on the America first

and go for it. That all to say in this ot ed I said, if whoever wins the primary, Republican primarily is on the path to almost assuredly winning the general election because of the dynamics of Ohio, because of the dynamics of twenty twenty two, and further that point, Buck, I think we've got an excellent shot in picking up

seats in Arizona. In Georgia, there's breaking news that the Nevada and Nevada the Police Order of Police have switched their endorsement of now endorse a Republican candidate Adam Laxalt's look at New Hampshire as well. I think we're gonna hold with Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. So I wouldn't be surprised if we have a called breta four seat pickup at a minimum in the US Senate this fall. Now we've got the PA Pennsylvania Senate primary coming up here shortly.

Doctor Oz is running. Who is the Trump endorsed candidate there, I mean doctor Oz, people right who doctor Ozzes? And he's running against McCormick, who was married to Dina Powell worked in the Trump White House. He's married to Dina Powell. He's a billionaire hedge fund guy. First of all, how do you think this shakes out? And why did Oz

get the endorsement over McCormick in your mind from Trump? Well, I was actually talking with Trump about a month ago through all the Center raised endorsements, and he asked me about Pennsylvania, and I said, very bluntly, I hate him all. And the next week, you know, he endorses Oz and I completely understood why he endorsed Oz over McCormick. First of all, we actually we put a posit on Ned for once, just because we actually have that endorsement. Want

to have you react to it for one sec. Here, play, guys, I endorsed another person today, doctor Oz in PENNSYLVANIAA doctor Oz, great guy, a good man's good men Harvid educated, tremendous, tremendous career, and they liked him for a long time. That's like a pole, you know, when you're in television for eighteen years, that's like a pole that means people like you. But he's a he's a great guy. Sorry, Ned, as you were saying, we want to let everyone see

the endorsement. There, you get no just talking with Trump about McCormick versus Os. First of all, you have political cloud. If you're Trump, you want to use it. There's only two legitimate candidates in that primary. It's Oza McCormick. McCormick is in, you know, literally in bed with the Chinese communists in a very direct way over the last thirteen years with alls investments through his OZ has actually been

extremely helpful to Trump. Trump is very loyal to OZ because of especially in twenty sixteen when people were questioning Trump's health, Oz adam on his TV show and said, You're a healthy as anybody and should absolutely run for president. So there's been a relationship in which OZ has been helpful. Trump has been loyal, OZ has been loyal. McCormick is quite frankly, very bad on one of the most important issues for Trump. And tack on top of that the

person that you just mentioned, Buck Dena Powell. I told people, if nothing else, the fact that Dave McCormick is married to Dena Powell, that alone is disqualifying for any endorsement from Donald Trump. Wow. Wow, why ned? I gotta why explain? I mean, I you know more about this than I do. When you want to talk about a globalist with really truly antagonistic towards an America First agenda. You know, the crap cake that is Dave McCormick. The icing on top

of that is Dena Powell. And I told Trump, I said, you know, sir, I have to tell you is one of the biggest question marks in my mind. How she ever made it into your White House, because I will leaves she's deeply antagonistic towards an America First agenda. Not a good person married to Dave McCormick. And that alone, to me, if you talk to a lot of the America First types who are aware of this, Dina Pal's relationship is disqualifying. So all of these things add up,

and the Trump endorsement to me makes sense. Again, Howard repeats, I don't like anybody in the Pennsylvania sent it, but I hope for Trump's sake, and I think it was. It was a hard endorsement, but he did it, and I hope that it success. Yeah. And Hattt by the way, as well, to a Trump backed candidate and friend of the show, Madison Jasiato Gilbert, who you and I both know. She won her Parties primary in Ohio's thirteenth congressional district.

So we'll have to have Madison on ned. Always appreciate you coming down and tell us what's what man, You come back soon. Okay, sounds good, Thanks Bucking. A frustrated Russian military continues to face strong resistance from the Armed forces of Ukraine, but Western officials are warning that President Vladimir Putin might be planning an official declaration of war in the coming days.

Victory Day is one of the most important national holidays in Russia. Every May nine, the Russian people celebrate the anniversary of the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in nineteen forty five with a military parade right in Moscow. But this year and the day may

take on new significance. Western officials are now speculating that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the annual celebration to officially declare war on the nation of Ukraine. The Department spokesman Ned Price gave his thoughts on the reports earlier this week. Watch I've seen the speculation that Russia may

formally declare war. I suppose I would add that would be a great irony if Moscow used the occasion of Victory Day to declare war, which in itself would allow them to surge conscripts in a way they're not able to do now, in a way that would be tantamount to revealing to the world that their war effort is failing, that they are floundering in their military campaign and military objectives. So will Putin used his famous holiday to publicly declare a war on Ukraine? Do me now to add some

more insight into it? As senior fellow at the Foundation for Defensive Democracies, Bill Rogier, Bill, good to see again, Thanks again, Bud always, so just walk us through this because I think that people see this this in the news story and the initial thought is, Okay, isn't Russia already at war in Ukraine? So what would an official declaration of war do? Differently, Yeah, Russia hasn't officially declared war. It says it's a it's a military action, a special

military operation is what it's called. It. Declaring war would allow it to mobilize the conscripts. But that's just about it. And look, Russia is a state where if Putin decides to mobilize the conscripts without declaring war, he's going to do it. He doesn't need to declare war in order to do this. I do think the speculation about May ninth. I've been hearing about May Night for the last month,

that the Russians are going to declare victory. Now that we're hearing they're going to declare war, there two very contradictory things. By the way, you had a Russian spokesman come out today and say this is absolutely untrue. We're not going to be declaring war on May Night. And no,

that doesn't mean he's not lying. But you know, there's been a lot of information out there that has been quite speculative about this war from the very beginning, things like the ghost to Kiev and the incident on Snake Island. The question really, you know, we'll find out on May ninth, but if we're going to find out whether this is actually one of those speculative items that didn't pan out,

or whether it was actually true. You know, Forbes is reporting that quote Russia has scaled down there May ninth Victory Day parade by almost thirty five percent. The cuts are so dramatic and the plan rate so humiliating that Russia's President Vladimir Putin will let me do almost anything to keep the world from focusing overly much upon Russia's

dwindling military prospect What do you make of that? I mean, I see, here's here's my concern, Bill, because at various phases here it feels like we've been through numerous news cycles of Russia is just about to go, you know, put in terms of their military ability in Ukraine, and then sure enough, there's still a lot of fighting, they're still shelling, They're still in Ukraine. So what do you make of this analysis of the Victory Day parade and

Russia's dwindling prospects? Yeah, it makes sense to me that the Victory A grade is going to be smaller than it normally would. It has a significant amount of its combat horses engaged in Ukraine right now, So Russia doesn't have the capacity right now to hold a massive grade, and nor should it. I mean, the focus it's military should be fighting and winning in Ukraine and not putting together a massive the biggest Victory Day Day parades on

May Night that it's ever had. So you know, again, you know, you hit a key point there, Buck, We've heard a lot of contradictory information. This is what's made following this war so difficult. We've heard the Russian morales love, they're running out of gas, They're you know, all of these things, and they've run out of gas so many times that they remain entrenched in eastern and southern Ukraine.

They're they're making small incremental gains in these areas. Um. We don't know whether that's going to lead to victory of defeat for the Russians. But what I don't see is imminent collapse like we we've continually heard for the past almost two months now. I mean, here's a map of territories taken over by Russia in Ukraine and in and around that the daun Boss region here, um, so

that that's currently area that is effectively under Russian control. Right, So is there you know what I would want to know at this point, because it seems like we can't get a clear answer as to what Russia would find acceptable to end the conflict. I would want to know, given that we just had a variety of members of Congress and Anti Pelosi was just over there and others meeting with Zelenski, what's an acceptable end state for the

Ukrainian government right now? Considering the loss of territory that's already occurred. That's the key question that to me, it isn't what the Russians want to end this war. The Russians want to take significant areas of the south and in the east. Without a doubt, I believe the Russians would like to take over the entirety of the Ukrainian territory on the Black Sea. That would require them to go to a desa. But really, what would the Ukrainians

settle for? Would they Are they going to settle for Russia conquering territory and administering Ukrainian territory probably somewhere ever ten to fifty percent of its territory. If that happens, you know where does this end? My concern here is, look, the Ukrainians. I think it's a small chance that the Ukrainians can drive the Russians out completely, but that seems

to be what everyone's pushing for. There's a chance that the small chance that the Russians going to have full military victory again, I don't think that's possible, or there's a good chance that the fighting continues as it is now and that is destroying the Ukrainian society. It's not just weakening the Russians, it's destroying Ukrainian society and it could potentially lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian state.

There needs to be some type of solution. As dis caseful it is to everyone, there needs to be some type of solution. And also we do risk coming up to the precipice of a nuclear conflict as well, so we have to be very careful about how we're acting. I don't see this type of thought being put in about what our next moves. Should we be talking to the Russians. Is there a way to get the Russians to draw back to the pre war lines. I'm not

hearing anything like that. I'm hearing on the Ukrainian side, Ukraine victory on the Russian side, Russian annexation of significant territory in the Southones and what about the you know, going back now, because we're months into this conflict, right, and Bill, we've been having you on to talk about

this and update this from the very beginning. So in the early days, you remember all of the news coverage of the Biden administration financial and economic moves against Russia, and we were told in no on certain terms that this was going to be a crushing blow to Russia's economy, and that if we just got the we put the swift sanctions in place, we do all these things, Russia's you know, almost like the Russian war machine is going to run out of gas and bullets and so they

won't have a choice. Or maybe they'll run out of bread and milk on the shelves and the stores in Moscow, you know, same idea. What's the reality of the economic I don't know if we want to call it warfare, but the economic actions that were taken by you know, the West America against Russia up to this point, they were well over hype that was highly skeptical of them

at the beginning. There's a very interesting map that exists out there, and it shows the countries that oppose right that are on board with sanctioning Russia, and it really just winds up being Europe, Japan, and the United States and Canada. It's there's a Russia has a lot of ability to hit other markets without a doubt. The Russians

are feeling it, you know, they've lost money. But we should have learned with sanctions against Iraq, sanctions against Iran and other countries that these types of things take years, if not decades, to really have a meaningful effect, particularly when the country being sanctioned is committed and Russia can do things like build its own weapons, manufactured its own ammunition, It grows its own food, it produces its own energy. Maybe the IT companies sanctions make those things difficult and

more passely. But if the Putin and Russia's determined to continue this war, the sanctions will happen to only have a marginal effect. It's a lesson. We keep learning about foreign policy over and over again. It team is kind of like the UN Security Council, not exactly good at providing security. Thanks so much to thank you. Keep learning that one. Too good to see you. The head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randy Weingarten, is speaking out

about a growing mental health crisis among America's students. How that happened? The whole crisis? Oh that's right, Randy Weinarten made sure the schools shut down because she's the commissar for the teachers unions and the Democratic Party. We'll talk about this and quick hits stay with us. The head of the American Federation of teachers takes gas lighting to a new level, and doctor Deborah Burkes has spreading misinformation of her own out there or disinformation smething got stories

on quick Hits. Let's get into it. As you know, I call her the Education Commissar because she is a Marxist community organizer radical, pretending to be concerned with the interests of children, when really all she's concerned with are the interests of the socialist Democrats who she represents, and that she wields power in the name of for the

teachers unions. That's what this all is. Teachers unions are a huge source of funding for the Democrat Party, and the teachers unions, as you know, are also always always

supportive of Democrats in a just a monolithic fashion. So it's particularly rich when you have Randy Weingarten, who is responsible for so much of the misery our children have gone through, telling everybody that our kids are in crisis because of the shutdown for schooling or two years of schooling, that she demanded on behalf of the teachers unions and

work with the White House to get watch. Our kids are in crisis, and we had a mental health crisis before COVID but with and doctor Ang, we'll talk about this far better than I do. But within but for two years of disruption, two years of looking at the screens, two years of not having a normal kind of routine and rhythm recovery is really tough. Yeah, she doesn't care. He just doesn't care, not really, because she would have cared when schools were shut down and people like me

were saying why they shut down? Kids aren't at risk. Doctor Burke's another person who got it very very wrong on COVID. Seems to think that the elderly are susceptible to COVID. Yeah, that's true, as children are susceptible to COVID. No wrong? Has she been asleep for like the last two years? Watch? How do you judge risk? I have to judge it every day because, like you, I have children under five, unvaccinated grandchildren, and I have a ninety three year old that lives is in our house. So

I have to constantly be aware of my risk. Yet I have to work, and I think that's just what we need to do. If you have vulnerable people in your household, whether it's children or elderly, you have to continually access your risk. Children are not at risk from COVID? What is wrong? The reason there's not a vaccine for children under five is because in the clinical trials they couldn't actually show any material benefit worth making kids get the shot in the first place in that age group.

And then of course there's Bill Gates jugment him yesterday, the walking pregnant man emoji. According to Elon Musk, Bill Gates assures us that Trevor assures us that COVID nineteen came from bats. Watch how do we prevent something where we don't even understand how it came to be, Like, you know, all the labs where they need to do better at at you know, in closing the work that they're doing. I understand that they have to do the work.

But how do we figure that out and how do we move forward in that realm where we should we be careful about lab safety. It's quite clear in this case that it came across through animals, and almost all our diseases like hid crossed over from chimpanzees in Africa quite some time ago, a bullet came from bats. This also, with one step in between, came from bats. It's actually not clear that that's the case but who cares Bill Bill Gates is full of a lot of you know what?

All right, everybody that's efferent that I to hold the line. The No Spin News with Bill o'relly is next Shills High.
