Team Buck, Welcome to the Freedom Hot Thursday, Mark seventeenth. We have much to discuss more on the Russian War in Ukraine, the updates from our side of it on the no Fly Zone. Also a video released from before the death of George Floyd of a man who screamed I can't breathe eleven times. He was pinned down by the lapd and he died.
And I will tell you right now, I don't think you're going to hear much about this from the Democrat corporate media because the man is white and so it does not fit the narrative of police brutality that they would usually want to talk about. And then Leah Thomas, the transgender upen swimmer, has crushed the actual biological emails in the championship preliminary races, so we'll be discussing that and what's going on there in just a moment here.

There is a narrative right now of the Russians being stalled out in the offensive that they are waging in Kiev. There's also word of some survivors here as people are desperately awaiting news of hundreds of civilians who are in the mary or in a theater in mary Opal which was hit. It was being used as a shelter and it was bombed,
this big theater with hundreds of people in it. This is an ugly, vicious and horrible war. As you all know, war is a terrible thing, and our focus every day should be on what could be done as a country that is not an active combatant in this war to help bring this to a conclusion. What could be done to stop this from continuing on now? I think that's exactly where we should be in our thinking a no fly zone. I do believe more people have come to
see this. A no fly zone is too far, but providing the tools to let the Ukrainians fight for their own freedom and independence, that is something that we can and should support. I'm just gonna tell this right now. So far, the major moves of the Biden administration post the outbreak of hostilities have largely been in line with what I would recommend if I were advising a president.
Give munitions, give arms, intelligence support that I'm sure is happening behind the scenes, but don't actually provoke Russia into a full scale war. Here's Mike Pompeo, Trump's former Secretary of State, saying, provide them the tools. We should be writing all the tools that the Ukrainian people need to defend themselves. We have them, the Europeans have them. They can do an awful lot more too. But instead President Biden has been behind. He's allowed Vladimirputtin to dictate the
pace and the response. He's allowed He's alloed Vladimirputin to dominate how we think about the structure of what's taking place here. And we can do better than this. Americans deserve it, the Ukrainian people deserve it as well, and I think President Zelinski spoke to that very very nicely today. The pacing of it that seems to be the criticism
from Pompeo, the basic overall choice to arm them. That's the right choice, but it has not been proactive enough, according to the former Secretary of State and former CIA director. All right, fair but overall, right now, the most important thing to me is that this does not turn into this does not turn into People keep saying world War three, but even a tactical nuclear exchange with Russia would be catastrophic in so many ways. We're trying to avoid that.
And then there are the people out there like Representative Maria Salazar, who you may have seen had a lengthy segment on Tucker Carlson's show last night which it was engaging. I'll say that she says, it is embarrassing that we haven't given the Ukrainians that means to create their own no fly zone. And my position is that we should not take the no fly zone off the table. But before that, that's two we need to do one. And one is to give Zelenski exactly what he's asking for.
No troops on the ground. Let's give him the mix and the S three hundreds. What he needs to defend his own airspace, so he will create his own no fly zone. And that's what I think we should have done months ago. It's embarrassing that this guy, this president, who is under the bullets, has come to Congress to beg for us to give him something that we should have done a long time ago. We should have given
them fighter planes long time ago. We should have done how much more than what we've already done, which has given them the Javelin anti tank missiles and the Stinger missiles. Now that they're shooting down rotary and fixed wing aircraft with Ian we're handing the ukrating people A lot of
US taxpayer is paying for all of this. But here's somebody who, let's just be honest, a Representative Salazar doesn't know a damn thing about the military, about conflict, about about guns, anything, has no idea what she's talking about. Creating a no fly zone for the Ukrainians, meaning let them create their own no fly zone. Good luck with that. Russia has over a thousand planes at its disposal. Ussia
has ten to one more than that. There are military resources to pour into this against Ukraine and flying and defeating Russian planes it's not an easy would not be an easy thing for Ukraine even if they had resources being handed to them. Okay, the Russians are the third most capable military on the planet. Ukraine isn't in the top twenty. Maybe it's I don't know. Maybe some people would argue it's somewhere near the top ten. I doubt it though, I mean it's maybe it's in the top twenty.
And when you're looking at this and lining this up in terms of order of battle and by the way, yeah, I mean, how do you even know Ukraine versus the UK military? Yeah, ucame military stronger. Ukraine versus France or major European countries have more capable militaries and have nukes. So if you take Europe out of the equation, you know, maybe it's top twenty, top ten. So this is where
we are. We are at right now. We have to figure out what are what are the best pathway to get to a negotiation here that will end the conflict as quickly as possible without having an expand I mean, I think we know what the actual mission is from the US perspective and saying things like let them create their own no flies on she just doesn't know what
she's talking about. She really has absolutely no idea, And so that is worth noting because member of Congress, there are people who have a lot of power, a lot of authority, and have no idea what the hell they're talking about, and that when you're engage in a discussion about the extent of what could be a nuclear war, you want people that understand the basics. You want people
to have some sense of this. I want to tell you, I'm guessing you haven't heard about this case in Los Angeles, this police brutality incident where a man was killed because he refused a blood test, a court ordered blood test for a DUI and really really going after this guy for the duy. I mean, it's apparent from the video that he's drunk, but they wanted to make sure they had him and could prosecute him more easily. He died, and he died, and it's on video and it's horrific.
And it happened before the George Floyd, the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis. So I think we should discuss this because you're gonna have a very different response and a very limited response to this in the media compared to what you saw obviously with George Floyd. Oh, the man who died is white. The man who died is white. That's an important factor in the way the media will
cover the story. We'll get into that shortly. One of the smartest actions you can take to preserve the value of your savings account is to invest a portion of your savings in real gold.

Dollar is not doing well. So this story is the number one on the Daily Mail right now, so there
is get it. There's more attention to it. There's a video of a man named Edward Bronstein, thirty eight years old, and this was taken in March of twenty twenty. The video has just been released and if you go up to the Dailymail dot com you will see the full video and it's it's hard to watch. It is horrific. He is held down. There's some exchange with officers of
the LAPD. I will say the initial exchange is it seems professional, and they say this is essentially your last warning or else we're going to face plant you on a mat and draw blood from you and hold you down. And there's four or five officers that are going to do this to him. He's already handcuffed with his hands behind his back, so they're going to hold him down and draw blood from him. And this is all over a dui. So then he is pushed on the ground
and he says, I'll do it willingly. I'll do it willingly. I can't breathe. I can't breathe, the exact same phrase that George Floyd used with the knee on his back. This guy is shouting, I can't breathe, and you know, you hear it, and he's he's shrieking. I mean, he's actually in a total panic. And I'm not going to play the audio for you. It's it's hard to hear because you hear a guy who is having a full on panic attack and then dies and you hear it.
And this happened before George Floyd, as I said, two months before. Now there's a whole conversation. I believe there's already been some laws passed to look at this kind of restraint and what police should and should not do in a situation like this. There is a lawsuit underway right now, a federal civil rights lawsuit against these officers, because clearly there was no justification for use of lethal force.
In this incident, they killed a man because he didn't want to have his blood drawn while he was drunk. He was a threat to nobody. He was already handcuffed, he was basically immobile. He was not even moving, and he was talking to them on his knees quietly, and they decide to deface plant him on a mat and and try to draw his blood. And they've got knees on his neck. That's right, me on the neck, the whole thing. And I just I point this out to you,
and it's horrifying. The guy as a father. You can see photo of his little daughter up on the Daily Mail piece. I mean, this man should absolutely not be dead, and law enforcement is responsible for his death. And you look at this and you say, all right, will this get a lot of attention? Will this be another video? Because he's Here's the few levels of this that I
think are analysis that are worth our time. On the one hand, let's note that we are always led to believe that whenever there's an incident involving a black man in law enforcement that looks bad, whether it's even legally justified or not, if it looks bad on video. The first thing that the left jumps to is they say it's racist, these cops are racist. Now, what I'm here to say is that it is possible for law enforcement to use excessive force without it being rooted in racism.
That is possible, but that's not the way that it is reported on that it always goes into narrative right away if there is a black man who is in a situation where law enforcement uses force and it looks bad or maybe it even is clear excessive force. So it's not just the appearance of it is the reality of excessive force in police brutality. It's well, the cops
are racist. That is what the media tells you every single time, and then that is used to say the country is racist, all of law enforcement is racist, the entire system is racist. Look at this video. It proves it. So I sit here and I say, we'll hold on a second. Here's a video that is, I mean, honestly, very similar in a lot of ways and is also gut wrenching to watch. And if you hear the screams of this guy, I mean he's really shrieking. He's shrieking
in total panic that he and breathe. Cops don't take the pressure off and he dies right there. But his name is Edward Bronstein. He's a white guy, and the media is You're barely going to touch this story, I would assume. And why is that? Isn't police brutality an awful thing no matter where it happens. Isn't excessive for something? But every cop on it will tell you they hate excessive use of force by other law enforcement officers and makes their jobs harder, puts them at greater risk, makes
the public trust them less. So isn't excessive for something that we should all decry, no matter who the victim of it is. And what you'll see is that no, really, the left wants to tell stories of the racism of law enforcement more so than the more so than anything about excessive forces. It's racist excessive force that we have to talk about because that fits into their worldview. Their worldview that is that America is a racist and oft
an evil place because of its racism. And they're just obsessed with this idea of America as a place that has made very little racial progress and where you know, there's so much racism in the system and systemic racism, and they just all the time it's an obsession on the left. Well, that was an obsession in the case
of George Floyd. One police officer ends up being the justification in the minds of left wing activists the poor actions of one officer who's been convicted of murder and going to spend decades in prison for torching neighborhoods, for attacking officers all across the country, and riots for shattering the store windows on my block where I live because they're so upset about the police brutality, the police violence in blm Okay, Well, doesn't Edward Bronstein's life matter? Two?
Aren't we going to hear about that as well? I think we all know the answer to this. They will not speak about this the same way. They will not speak about this as though it is a referendum on the country and it's policies, and the way that it is speaking of the country and policies.

Leah Thomas smashes biological Females and nc double A Championship prelimbs. Transgender swimmer Leah Thomas one step closer to winning an NCAA championship after a dominant perform in the five hundred freestyle problems Thursday morning in Atlanta. Thomas set a new top time in the nation with
four thirty three eighty two in the preliminaries. So this transgender swimmer is about to be the best female I'm sorry, the best transgender female swimmer in America, beating the records of all the actual female swimmers in America. Leah Thomas is not a woman, and if you have to have that explained to you, you'd have to wonder what else would need to be explained. This is very straightforward. There are biological differences, hard and fast differences between Leah Thomas
and the females that Leah Thomas is swimming against. So these biological females are outraged but scared because the wokeness will come after them, and they know that if they speak out against us, there will be problems. So we're all supposed to sit around and be a part of the lie, and I say no, this is what the
left does, though. They push and push and push until the insanity is overwhelming, and then they push some more because if they can break you psychologically and emotionally into going along with the lie, well then they can do it again. Then they own you, then they control you. And that's what you see right now with all these swimmers, all these sports writers, just all pretending that this absurd situation is fair, is right. It's not going to be
the best, likely the best swimmer of all time. All the national records in the NCAA will be held by Leah Thomas by the end of this championship. Does that make people feel good? Not anybody who's saying that's it for the show today, my friends back with more tomorrow. Shields high
