Welcome to the Freedom Hot Tuesday, March twenty ninth edition of the program. We have signs of progress in Ukraine, talks with Russia over the war that's going on. There a good progress, it seems at this stage. Rohn DeSantis here in the States signs the parental Rights in Education bill that has
the left so upset. And Biden's budget has a lot of money, billions of dollars over thirty billion for police and law enforcement initiatives. Almost like we had to learn that refund the police is a much better idea than defund the police. Libs only find this stuff out when elections are looming. Isn't that so interesting? We'll be discussing all of that here coming up in just a moment. If you've never been a real estate investor before, listen up.

com to begin your real estate investment journey today. So there is progress in talks with Ukraine apparently Recraine in Russia, which is certainly a good thing. What is our first priority above all other priorities is don't get into a nuclear war, right, that's very straightforward. But in terms of the more immediate and a priority where we actually have to take action instead of avoiding the wrong action, helping to bring about an end to this conflict, through negotiation.
That's what we want. We just want the bullets in the bombs to stop and to figure out how these two countries will go forward alongside each other. It seems right now there is some decent progress on that front. Ukraine has proposed a neutral status with guarantees. But is this just a Russian head fake? Does Putin really want to stop at this point or does he want to just refit, re equip, take a breath for his military, and then go for even more. Those are questions I
don't have answers to right now. I can't tell because I'm not on the ground. There's so much information that's coming to us from this battlefield that is either straight up propaganda or just fog of war falls. What are the Russian losses really? We believe them to be substantial, We don't have clear figures on it. Has Russia taken
much more of a beating than was anticipated? It does seem so, which would make sense considering that the Russians had gotten used to Ukraine as essentially a non military power up until they seize Crimea and the daun Boss conflict happened in the West. People forget this has been arming Ukraine for about six seven years now, the Trump administration started giving these anti tank javelin missiles and other
sophisticated weaponry to the Ukrainians. And there's been US Special Forces who have been training Ukrainians in their Force Multiplier mission Core mission for US US Special Forces Green Berets. They've they've been doing that for years. So it is a substantially improve Ukrainian military. And when you add in all the volunteers, all the people have showed up. I do think now Russia has faced clearly a stiffer resistance
than anticipated. But is that the same thing as Russia has had enough of this fight or is nearing the end of its fight and just wants the official status of Crimea to be part of Russian Federation. The Dawn Boss region as well, probably will want a land bridge between Crimea and Dawn Boss and then Ukraine would hopefully be able to keep the rest of its territories. That what the the final deal will look like, And what
does that also mean about Russian aggression going forward? How does Russia enforce in its mind, never mind what we think about it, how does it enforce a neutral status guarantee? These are all outstanding questions. In the background of all of this, you have a Biden administration that does just seem like it can't it can't shoot straight. I mean, they've got real problems here at the very top. With Joe Biden. I will say they have maintained the non
intervention position so far, which is a good thing. You know, they've done with regard to no US troops in Ukraine, and that has been the official position. That's what I have wanted, That's what I would have I would have advised if I were a position to do so to the President, as I had been in previous years, and my capacity as a CIA analyst basically a CIA academic, that's really what an analyst is. And I think that there needs to be clarity over what has been done
well and what has been a mess. Biden, though with some of his gaffs, as we talked about yesterday, really has shown everybody that in a moment of peril for the country, for the world, this is not the guy you want to have in charge. And it's not because I just gre with them. It's because he's not up for this. He's not in a position that actually allows for somebody to be in a state of declining mental capacity without serious consequences for the rest of US. So
Biden said a few things we don't remember. He made the comment about responding kind of chemical weapons, and then he made a comment about what was it. He made a comment about responding kind of chemical weapons, about US troops seeing with their own eyes in Ukraine. That didn't
go over very well with the people paying attention. And then most troublesome was the Putin cannot remain in power line when he was asked about this though, Joe Biden is rewriting history and essentially saying, don't believe your lying eyes and ears, believe what I tell you. Now here's Foxes Peter Doocey asking him about the walkbacks. Play clip one.
Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting locked back, let getting walked back. Made it sound like, just in the last couple of days, it sounded like you told us truths they were going to Ukraine. It sounded like you said it was possible the US would use a chemical weapon, and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia. And
we know none of the three occurred. None of the three, None of the three never happened. Never said I tell you something for no joke here, It's no joke. Ye just thinks she shay's Happening's not happening. Stuff was going, it's not going. It's not not a joke, folks, She's not not a joke. This is the guy who's running the country, everybody, This is the guy who is in charge.
Even Ben Rhodes over at MSNBC pointed out, look, Biden's got to make really clear here because there's negotiations underway that could theoretically end this conflicted a matter of days. Wouldn't that be great and wouldn't that be something to celebrate if this war could stop? And here is MSNBC's Ben Rhoades saying, look, you got to make sure that the Pujin regime doesn't think that Biden has regime change as the official policy, because that's going to mess up
everything here and make things a lot more dangerous. So even Libs are saying at play four, the problem right with that statement is that you had a whole speech that was clearly, very carefully prepared, and I think very well prepared. It's a very good speech. It was not about the United States formally shifting to a policy of pursuing regime change in Russia. I mean that you couldn't listen to that speech and think that that's what it
is building too. But then at the end he added this kind of personal statement where it looked like the moment really carried him into saying, for God's sakes, this guy can't remain of power. He has to make clear that it is not the policy of the United States government to seek gime change in Russia. As much as by the way, everybody watching might think that that's a
very common sense statement. This is a nuclear armed nation, and that kind of existential threat towards the president of Russia is something that not only you know, goes beyond I think what the US is prepared to pursue from a policy basis. Let's be very clear here, he's not really the president of Russia when all said and done, technically, yes he is. He is the autocrat. He is for
all intents and purposes, the czar. Okay, this guy is the monarch right now of Russia, and We all know the phrase from the Wire, the show about drug dealing and cops in Baltimore. You come at the King, you best not miss. This is not just a when you're when you're saying that that Putin must go, you're saying that the whole system is under threat in Russia, because he is the system. Essentially. This is not like in the US you say, oh, well, in four years, it'll
be somebody else. Know, in four years, it won't be somebody else, at least not in Putin's mind and not in the mind of the people that are around him that enable him. So this this was not a minor gap, you see. It's not like, oh, I hope he loses the next election, or you would have to have a coup, and probably a violent one to get rid of Vladimir Putin. So regime change from inside or outside would be a
highly risky process. And there are thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons that are in the background of all of this.
Talk about the Florida Parental Rights Bill, because that's what it is actually called, and also crime and the Biden regime and what are they doing about it looks like they figured out the polling is not in favor of this lunatic idea of defund police will discuss, but there's really no organization I can think of that does a better, more dedicated job to supporting America's heroes and their families.
Then the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. When a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, Tunnel the Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring their family stability. For severely injured veterans and first responders, Tunnel the Towers builds mortgage free smart homes, enabling our most severely injured
heroes to live more independent lives. And now, through Operation Home Base, Tunnel the Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans, our nation's heroes, peoples who people who put their lives a line for our country and our communities need your help. Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel the Towers on its mission to do good in their honor. Donate eleven dollars a month at t twot dot org. That's t then number two t dot org.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation. First, let's just have a quick moment here on the Biden budget proposal. Before I get into the defund the police refund the police situation, here Senator Ted Cruz pointing out that if Biden got his way, the national debt would be well, here's Senator Cruz play clip ten. Joe Biden's budget and the Socialists and the Democratic Party they want to jack up taxes on Americans
across this country. You know, this budget proposes taking the national debt all the way up to forty five trillion dollars. That is a staggering amount. And one of the amazing things about Biden's budget is it's based on old, outdated numbers, so it assumes inflation is still down at two percent. We're seeing record high inflation of eight percent. And the Biden budget numbers laughably assume that the trillions they've spent
already hasn't caused inflation. That's right. They assume, or they pretend that they haven't caused inflation, and the inflation that we're seeing shows you that they're wrong, and they will continue to be wrong. Now they're going to do a lot of class warfare, stuffer on the billionaires tax and all the other stuff. And by the way, I'm not about to lay down in traffic for the billionaires. If they're actually going to be taxing billionaires, Republicans shouldn't make
a huge stink about about protecting billionaires fortunes. But if they're going to tax unrealized gains, I mean, it's all about how they do it. If they're gonna raise the corporate tax, that is gonna hurt everyone who has any investments, any assets, any four O one, k et cetera, you name, it's gonna hurt Everyone's gonna hurt the whole economy. So that's where it becomes a problem. So I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh my gosh, you know Bill Gates, he can't afford to pay more. No, we can't allow
that capitalism. Is it really going after Bill Gates? Though? Is it a true wealth tax or is it something they call a wealth tax but really is going to affect everybody everybody else? And we already live with a highly progressive tax system. So people will say, oh no, but we can't. Well, they're already going after people who earn over three hundred, over four hundred thousand dollars year, whatever it is, as though they're wealthy and in any major US city. You're not rich if you're earning a
couple one hundred grant, not by a long shot. But if you're in forty million verses, you are in four hundred thousand. The tax rate, there's a there's a similar federal tax rate, the same federal tax rate, and then it just becomes a question of carve outs and all the other schemes and tax shelters and things that people
set up. So it's not about just the billionaires. But let's get into the defund refund police controversy, because the Democrats know that a train is coming down the tracks for them and they are in a lot of trouble
on the crime front, as they should be. What they did in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, the BLM movement two point zero that they launched, was reckless and destructive, and it was a moral panic on race issues in this country that was leveraged by Democrats in an election year to undermine the sitting president, to undermine law and order across the country, and deliver the country into the quasi
snile mediocrity known as Joe Biden. Really submediocrity. President Biden, though, has realized the problems that this has posed for them, because people, it turns out, no matter who you are, unless you're a true zealot of the left, and there are some of them out there, say fine, steal my bicycle out of my home while I'm home in San Francisco. I don't even care. I can get another one. I mean, there are lunatics out there who vote live with ig
Nancy Pelosi's a smart, good person. There are plenty of them. But put that aside for a moment. Most people don't want to be in danger in their city. Most people don't want to be worried about crime when they go into the city, even if they don't live in one. And Americans are concerned fifty one percent in twenty twenty one. According to A Big Gallop Pole. It was only thirty eight percent who were concerned about crime in twenty twenty,
so a big jump up. And we've had the last year A twenty twenty one was the worst year for murders nationwide in twenty five years at least, and comes after the biggest jump in murders in eighteen month period of time since they were ever recording this, So the country got a whole lot more dangerous and violent. Why they want to say, oh, it was COVID, Obviously not because now we've gotten out of COVID lockdowns across the country and you still have a very high crime rate.
Wasn't because of COVID. That was a dodge, That was a lie. They knew that. It's because they decided that we should go soft on criminals. That progressive prosecutors think the criminal justice system is racist, and they were going to start making social engineering a more important component of their jobs than law and order. It's because Democrats wanted to pretend that the real problem is the guns, lawful
gun owners. They're they're the real issue instead of criminals, And they don't want to really punish criminals because they don't like that. They feel like, oh gosh, the criminals that there are society so unjust and racist. When we punish criminals, were perpetuating the injustice and racism. So we're not going to punish people the same way. You say. We'll hold on a second. I thought every individuals treated as an individual. Why are we looking at this as
though it's a function of group dynamics? That's what the left does. That's how they change the philosophy of the criminal justice system. And this is this is why we have such a high crime rate. You know, there are a lot of a lot of idiot libs. I think it's not true, and it's all these other things. Please give me a break, all right, we all know what's
really going on here. And even Biden now knows. President Biden's proposing more than thirty two billion dollars in new spending to fight crime, according to White House officials familiar with his twenty twenty three budget plans. And this shows he will fund, not defund the police, or even refund the police if you will. Well, they're only doing this, by the way, not because they feel badly for all the crime that's been committed, not because the victims of
violent crime, or on their conscience or anything that. It's because they know the American people are gonna say you you libs or loons. The're about to get voted out of power, and they want to avoid that. Anything for power. They'll even go back on their deeply held beliefs if it means they can stay in power. All Right, we'll come back to Governor Rond De Santis and the Parental Rights and Education Bill here in a moment. But you know that fortune favors the bold, the strong, the brave.

terms and conditions apply now. The decantists bill. Here is governed Asantists signing the Parental Rights and Education Bill play sixteen play. We will continue to recognize that in the state of Florida, parents have a fundamental role in the education, healthcare, and well being of their children. We will not move from that. I don't care what corporate media outlets say. I don't care what Hollywood says. I don't care what big corporations say. Here I stand. I'm not backing down. Here,
I stand. I'm not backing down that. That should be the rallying cry of Republicans across the country on every issue that really infuriates the Libs and makes them apoplectic, makes them freak out, makes them lie as they are about that don't Say Gay bill. It's not a don't say gay bill, and they know it, but they had to rename it so they could run a campaign against a bill that does not really exist. And this is
all you have to know. They get upset about this whole parental rights issue because they know they're losing, and they're losing people they need to vote for them, And so that's why they're so agitated. Because what is the foundational principle of the left of the Democrat Party. Anything to be in power. What do we have to do. We'll do that, anything to be in power. So remember Sunsu has some good advice on this. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Right, If your opponent
is temperamental, seek to irritate him. If when the Libs are agitated, go after the thing they're agitated about. You know this was true about It's true about the transgender swimming issue. They get very agitated about. They don't have good arguments, and they know it, so they just get angry. It's true about about critical race theory in schools, and
now it's true about gender indoctrination in schools. If Republicans make schools the political battleground, parental rights in schools, the benefit the welfare of children as the primary guiding star in schools, not teachers unions, not as a jobs program for adults. If Republicans do that, they will crush they will crush the Democrats in this midturn. I mean, among other things, but this is a central front in this battle.
Learn the lesson of Governor Junkin and Virginia parents have seen the evil underbelly of the left when it comes to the way that a lot of this stuff gets taught in schools, the vile critical race theory stuff, the masking up, the child abuse of children. Parents see it, they see it. They know. Remember, you're not gonna get everybody.
Twenty percent of the country is insane. Twenty percent of the country is going to be triple masking alone in the woods for the next fifty years because Fauci's a genius. They're they're gone. You're never gonna be able to reason with twenty percent of the country, maybe even thirty percent. But some of these issues we're talking about here, parental rights and education sixty sixty five, you get into transgender competition and sports, Oh, that's more like an eighty five
percent issue of the voting adult public of America. That's what we're talking about. Leaning on that stuff. Win. The Republicans have to win. They have to see that pathway and go all in. All right, team, thanks for rolling with me here in the freedom Not talk to you tomorrow, Shields Hi
