Let's find out what's happening across the world.

That woke up to do some crazy news this morning asking Shelley with Amy Kellogg Fox is a senior foreign affairs correspondent and does very could be unmarried Walter sitting in for Brian Kelly never got to tell you that Brian is out today Amy, thank you for taking the time to join us this morning and morning here. I guess it's on a more even. It's evening there cracked afternoon. It happened about 5 o'clock. What is the fee I would find one of the Russian say about this like the average Russian when they find out that their country has now invaded Ukraine. What is the feeling there wow hard to generalize but there are a lot of people who are shocked, completely shocked, completely ashamed and feeling sick about that for not something that they had hoped for something if you're an average Russian good going to war with Ukraine nearly naked gay. Many things people struggle with now coming out of the pandemic and the economy here has been struggling but there is a rich country in terms of natural resources said about you can pick apart how it managed it's not a country that he by any stretch the imagination more. A lot of people worry Mike my sampling of people at spoken. Everything not quite perfect but a lot of concern take them back decades and back to the USSR. They don't know what a credit card to be able to travel quite heartbreaking to see your logic sisters and brothers under bombardment by year-round government people at spoken to who you are. Really, there are people who think that it's about time docket could go back and a lot of the Mary is about sticking to the wet and settling account and put mine the opening salvo really when he announced that the call to war.

He called it a military operation is really that he tried to make black male desk and created a fear that tried to find our place in the world that disrespected us from our show thing turn things on their head and set up a new world order and is very very strong American people who think about time we gave feedback to the last block so two different camp but it anyone. It's probably feeling terrific today I can imagine they are there in and there were a lot of things that she said there at one of the questions I have is how close are the people of Russia to the people of Ukraine. I would assume that there is a lot of people have relatives in in the Ukraine. So for them, they, they, this is bombing their families. How close are they families yeah it's really complicated that history because when the union expected if you were Ukrainian by nationality that was your passport and if you will Russian by nationality of the Drayton your passport and people intermarry and down. There were Ukrainian nationals living in Russia and Russian national Ukraine for all kind of blended and it's not if you were Ukrainian you married a Russian. It's not like you are gay Palestinian and Eurail marrying an Israeli you know what cannot something that could easily provoke grandparents or parents. It was something that was very natural and people probably an affiliate gave didn't even bat an eye.

Over 80. Subsequently, when they were two different countries that could be a little there's a divergent debating cultures and languages Ukraine at spoken in Ukraine and Russian here that the cause languages so I don't I don't know, we'll historical animosity between these two people saying they're not been any nation can fill empty the president of Ukraine put that last night or two different people were not in any given that how widely do this given the fact that the two nations are so close.

The peoples are so close I can imagine that he now wants to bring the Ukraine as a whole. Maybe all of it. I don't know how much back into Russia and he's good people who are Russian citizens and people that are Ukrainian citizens who hate what happened hate him and are going to be working against him behind his back. Why would he even want that now I believe he's what 75 years old Adam Harrison what he would not. But yet not a spring chicken and I think well I think the bottom line is married. Document don't all make sense today.

Nothing really makes sense right now and I've been here for a little while and I think trying to interview people with the Russian perspective, who I think are somewhat deformed about the government.

I felt that with you selected want to get too much airtime to people who work screening a partyline that I didn't want to talk to people who were anti-because I felt like those who were started in the middle and studied gluten or new power circles might get the best information for our reporting and they all felt to me the Ukraine. Keeping the tankless side, turn up the heat get what he wants out of NATO, but it would be counter to all of his national security and and got popularity. Wage war against friendly people and have body bags are coming back. Russia show Bay people lying to me and someone said you know what now they were trying to rationalize the cell and there was nothing irrational like it is not a rational situation though that explain the disconnect and I think you can carry that on to know were not going to occupy pain. Well, I there. There is only about the gone bad will no guarantee to get rid of Nazi well I don't know where the where the Nazi genocide you can go on and on with the argument that don't you make now and there. There were comments about his speech.

Not last night. The one I guess it was Tuesday that hour he went on about the history of the Ukraine of Russia and Ukraine and people were calling it. It seemed like he was a little off, if you will, and they noted that he was wearing when he gave his speech last night. He was wearing the same tie shirt and jacket that he had on when he talked about the history of Ukraine and justify why it should be part of Russia so that the theory being that he already knew he was going to do this in both of the speeches were recorded on the same night. Are there questions about his mental stability because that's what I've seen of seen questions about it is that was happening on the streets of Russia all over the place all over the place. Now Derek didn't hear any thing is that I know that if the part that you want because all philological grafting right because even power and ground by yet more people are not effective because it makes enter night. I didn't mean for it. One pin with trumpet under thing you remember well that when someone start acting in a way that intimidates or pleases a group of people. They will go there right start questioning and found Bob happening here different story that all the pain. I don't know what that does not like some of the time off to a psychologist to get a check for 50 for the job right, right, of course, you had mentioned the USSR eat is one of the theories that he's trying to build what you know. He grew up under you. He grew up under the USSR and that he's trying to bring these states back in though the ones that broke off when we broke it up and and he's try to bring all of that back could not be the rationale behind this is getting older. He's not can have a lot of chance to do this so he's striking now.

Sorry Marianne getting them on a grand channel in my ear around Dr. Levon telegram channel on my phone by ear. I think that the USSR dream is something that a lot of people copy that remembered everything well debate you think the greatest political tragedy or geopolitical tragedy was tall and and then no particular improvement in modern enough. I understand that that Now it's looking like an fracture right know that maybe it I don't really feel inclined back. Places like GQ can which are culturally very different. Ukraine certainly is is a brother nation and they were part of the same Empire for a long time so yeah time running out legacy but it still doesn't make logical sense. Also, the argument for for better security and better protection can make you occupy Ukraine still going to be bordering NATO right it's not can it removed is not known at the no man's land and yet remains to be female and how Ukraine fight back. Certainly an unbalanced fight, but their fears and their very nationalistic and it's one way or another to be easy know it's not any Kellogg. Thank you so much for joining us this money can find her on Twitter at any Kellogg box so thank you so much and really appreciate the work you doing thank you Mary 866-408-7669 if you want to jump in here coming up in a bad though 15 minutes or so. Jay Newman will be joining us. He is a a banker is a hedge fund portfolio manager about dark money and global politics is a new book out about that and he is a lot to say about why sanctions probably aren't going to work with Putin and maybe were just, you know, when he censures on and hurting ourselves more than were actually going to hurt Putin so Jay Newman will be coming up but I also want to get your input. 866-408-7669. I am Mary Walter in for Brian kill me newsmakers and news. First, I show just Janice Dean Fox news senior meteorologist. Be sure to subscribe to the Janet Dean podcast@foxnews.com or wherever you listen to your podcast and don't forget to spread the sunshine just worth hundred dollars Fox News contributor transom.com newsletter inviting you to join the conversation every week just to bend over the edge podcast.

No FOXNews projects.com talkshow that's real. This is Brian kill me show there's been at least 20 explosions here in the capital and Q, we suspect it's mainly been military targets military intelligence command-and-control centers. Russians have said they are using precision guided weapons.

We've not heard any reports of mass casualties here in the capital but certainly the explosions are enough to scare the heck out of people. People are throwing what they can in their car and getting out in the government even just a couple days ago saying there will be no wider war that changed dramatically about an hour before dawn today when the first explosions hit series 045 does Steve Harrigan, Inc. Eve in Ukraine and I with him. I was surprised I was under the impression that they were going to hit keep their were distended, go for the eastern part of Ukraine that they were to bring those two states back and back into Russia. There was a lot of Russians living in those areas who feel that they should be Russian, that they should be back with mail with Russia and that's what I thought was an abuse when I woke up in her that they were bombing Steve that you are seeing those the bombs hitting the area looking at the fires and everything.

I thought holy Christmas. I did not know I wasn't expecting that everything I was 500 miles from Russia. It's you know it's it's inside the country that's not going to happen will apparently that is happening. Get your take on this of Fernando in Covina, California Fernando Huron Ryan the Brian kill me show high buyout I'm doing good, so what would he make of all this while. In my opinion will become a victim of our economy is concerned. If you cannot afford to fight a war Fight and a way to think you gave oil exporters that we ourselves will provide. We need to become independently or independent leisure. As far as oil just like we were before.

Open up wiki phone pipeline open Firefox open up like this will become independent from other countries, not just not just Russian but as well as the usually countries it takes away you hold on from other countries so we can tell you what we import or export oil or not we go and what more will chill your your import export which is what everybody knows best what makes bread-and-butter taken away from and that when you cattle for group to actually fight a war that would be great, but it appears that the administration is so beholden to the far left of his party, for whatever reason, we just found out yesterday that their delaying decisions on new oil and gas drilling on federal land and they are so there halting new oil and gas leases and some existing ones are. I guess up for renewal and and oils nearing $100 a barrel.

So he's going in the opposite direction. So I just think that he so beholden for what ever reason to the far left in this country, whoever's running the show in Washington because I don't know if it's I have my suspicions that it's not Joe Biden in there. They're having none of it.

And I wonder if it's just because they are so far removed Fernando, thank you so much for joining us. I would suggest so far removed from our lives. They don't live the life that the rest of us do.

They're not out there. They're not paying for their gas to fly back home and ever and everything else bears are so for them. I just don't think it's a big deal. He got them and maybe that's something that will change when they start to get voted out of office in the midterms in the meantime we paying five dollars a gallon for gas, but they like that because they want us out of our electric vehicles having out of our I never gas guzzlers as they called into electric vehicles, but here's the thing you think you generate electricity.

Nobody goes past that, apparently, had magically comes out of the wall in their unicorns behind the wall that magically create electricity in my state of New Jersey is like 80% of the electricity in the state is generated by just make any since to me. Let's quickly go to Brian in Illinois. Brian, we have one minute here you're in the Brian kill me show high well dollars my point. But basically go with your funding more by the fact that you get an extra 40 $50 a barrel of oil would be selling the big boom and all the euro. Thank you are going to help in left field mortal right right and so far I knew but don't worry Joe Biden can talk to the nation sometime this afternoon as an early afternoon but who knows I and and yet he's gonna tell us what he's going to do, but I've heard a lot of people saying and will find out more as the show goes on.

Here we have a guest coming up just couple minutes to talk about some of this that you know the section. Section should have been put in place earlier we should have waited this long coming up Jay Newman to talk about Russia sanctions and why food may be sanctioned for on the right person is your thoughts with you throughout your busy doing subscriber and was the mowing Fox News barges did your project will came close to Fox and friends, we can hear my thoughts in a wide range of topics from culture to politics and business. Subscriber must mowing Fox News by just radio show like no other, will I would one is implementing serious costs for the actions that every been taken so the actions in the Don Boston we've taken steps beyond we did in 2014 which of his latest outline at the beginning of the briefing second-guessed deterrence as part of her objective if he goes further, we will go further, we have a range of tools at our disposal very well trained for Brian kill me. That was Jen's sake yesterday talking about sanctions and that is a question a lot of people are asking should have been done sooner. What sanctions can stop prudent Jay Newman is a traitor investment banker hedge fund portfolio managers. The author of the new book called under money thriller. I love thrillers. It's about dark money and global politics of who better to discuss sanctions, especially financial sanctions.

Then Jay Newman thank you for joining us. Thank you to be here, so all we hear about is sanctions here we were in a sanction prudent, but we had sanctions on pollutant that is on the North Stream pipeline and Joe Biden reverse that because Donald Trump put it in. Now Joe Biden has put it back but is it too little too late to go work for couple of reasons. One is called out in 2014 after he took Crimea and sanctions really did have an effect on the Russian economy.

But what he did was to make make dramatic efforts to at this point Russia has reduced its It's got $630 and attracting more like a a criminal cartel.

The sovereign state. So Russia is planning this and planning to protect itself from sanctions for years so what stops put in and I guess is the question.

Sanctions are going to work for because I've hurt his economy and clearly I'm wrong, but I've always heard that the rush is kind of a dying superpower there there economy is on its way down and and who knows that and that's why he did this now, but if he's made himself sanction proof, then the economy really is on the way down so then what works and what we do will I think is extremely hard to know what you and one more piece to what Putin's cronies are up because it seems very clear that they've been profiting from all this volatility. We go back a year when the Russian Jewish values were pretending to decide who would produce more oil, less oil in the meantime, oil prices were were rocketing up, rocketing down the Russians and his oligarchic friends were creating all information and even the last few weeks Russians have been trading and in addition to adding to the reserves from increase in the price of oil here is no longer six 3 billion regular 700 regular 800 going oligarch class has itself become very wealthy and therefore is has a lot of resources to bring to the table. Sounds familiar. We've been told as the commoners you know the word you have to buckle up because it's good and it's working it's working for some pain to defend democracy.

In other words get perfect, get prepared to pay five dollars a gallon of gas but you suck it up because were defending democracy does to the sanctions, then hurt Americans more than they hurt. The Russians I think I'm more in his camp and not just some examples. Russia and Ukraine produce 90% of the neon gas available in the world. The gas is extremely important for production silicon � our trip industry is critical so even while were talking of putting sanctions on prudent ability to import hardships he could stop to production pretty much altogether because control over gas production in the Ukraine and that's before we talk about week or palladium or aluminum. It's a very dangerous game of chicken with prudent because there are many things that he can do in order to stymie our efforts in our company. The cost could be really dramatic, so it is there a movement then to push Biden to pull away from the left of the party and we go back to reinstating the energy policies that Pres. Trump had in place when we were energy independent in this country is mainly done to inhibit shale gas cutting off the Keystone pipeline. These are usually absurd and were seeing the impact in Europe at the moment. Three and one supplies 30% of European gas over the last several months eventually cut back by Russia, so we are depleted so normally you have storage for three, four, five, six months is almost gone and I would again it seems extremely clear that people are core class is trading on always follow to show every time something with advanced knowledge. You know his friends and family and Russian state can make money on this volatility so that he's declaring war is making money from the whole process knowing what can happen right right now. The other theory is that Putin is just trying to weaken the Ukraine crash there economy, which is happened because weeks ago we had the president Ukraine telling telling the West to stop with the war talk because people were pulling out businesses of people were shipping was having a problem. So try to get around Russian submarines and in vessels so it is supporting a stranglehold on their economy weakens them and then that's what he wants because they'll be less likely to join NATO. Then in the just seed to his demands to not join NATO, which is the eye which is at the root of this and I would I would really not want to be Ukraine today planning this for a long time, and least Crimea in 2014 and looking weirdly settled there or the if we start going down the root of retaliatory sanctions, prudent functioning, possibly affecting us affecting our economy very slippery slope and you will even think about the possibility of cyber attacks which we know the Russians are extremely good. It's a real it's a real mess and see how it ends.

Well, unless somebody starts to back off. So I asked the question then as I'm sitting here and you know in the United States we involved in this is not Ukraine is not a neato country. Why is this. Now America's problem why are we also will target now instead of this, just being between Russia and the Europeans. Europeans have far more at stake than Americans do.

So why are we in the middle of this to me. I think that the European trip you take the lead on this. If anything you wish should be in the back seat trying out a boy go for what, why, why are we putting a target on our back when this is primarily European issue and they are not taking the lead because I think they're used to is not taking the lead right yet where the policeman of the world United States is the leader and that's all well and good but were not the superpower. We used to be. We weakened our militarily military a lot to us was so we are weaker that way. I just don't think we are the fighting force. We used to be, but regardless of that I just don't think that we should be the ones leading this fight and I it really bothers me. I think they're just so use to us being the ones to commit availability out and fight everyone's battles that they don't bother like the United States will come in because, especially Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden is that guy who would send American forces me that there in Poland. I got it in their handling evacuees and and all that and I don't think their pinnacle in to the Ukraine but I do see us on the brink of a situation where we could be looking at American lives being lost for the Ukraine American line for sure. In the American economy for sure will really feel like inflation before this and now on Russia and prudent course care hospital dramatically and a lot of critical commodities. It is all, it's all very scary genuine. Thank you for joining us explaining the issue was sanctions to us is to be very interesting to follow God check out his book is called under money is all one word. The Wall Street Journal called lurid, fast-paced and deeply thoughtful. It's about dark money and global politics. Love those types of books, and genuine. Thank you, thank you, Mary, 866-408-7669 is the number coming up. I wanted to ask you about Biden's approval rating it's underwater, which we know, but does this help him at all. I know I know some people on the left to sing on this is to help the Democrats like the Democrats crushing our economy. I'm not quite sure how that works.

86640876690 that your calls coming up on the Brian Kelly Joe diving deep into today's job story Brian Gilman Fox news on just work these ever-changing times you can rely on Fox News for only a place for the very latest news and information on your listening Dumbo knowing Fox news but just don't jump or wherever you did your favorite, the more you listen more, you'll know it's bright until made close to amenities, but how for seems to have become in making throwing his lot with West seems to have room all the briefings are gotten actually deforms military appearance to form some of the browns and reds in the in the unit is government and out of government and made a very I don't think anybody since Peter the great is made such a significant least initial move to the West. That was back in 2001 when Joe Biden was praising Putin comparing him to Peter, the great Peter the Great, the first Emperor of Russia. He he waged many wars and he expanded the nation into a major European power and tried to move his government towards Western Enlightenment's, but it's interesting because no member trump he was when he was in with prudent trumpeters Putin and Trump loves Boonton just a couple of updates or reports that Russian aircraft have been downed in Ukraine. I they are denying it. But there are pictures all over social media of downed Russian aircraft so take it for what it's worth, it's a fluid situation and also the USA and its cyber threats still active, still real for our PR grids are power grids and and also for banks as well. Financial institution so all of that still apply.

If Putin wants to really rope the US into this and he wants to do that 866-408-7669 let's get to Bruce listening on the app in New Jersey hey Bruce Frank showing radon help, but I am a member would be left to callers that would be three of us are the pioneers got a bump all present bodies gonna pump all the oil just announcing it will drive the price down.

And if you drive the price down from $100 a barrel down to $50 a barrel. No matter how much you got 900.

They depend on oil and gas and I tell you not heard more than these other things and will worry about climate change will you think a leader Russia or are American workers would be making a good salary?

If I get a good seller like a no-brainer. I just can't think how these people are this ignorant. I don't want to to call people names writing out there: they're just not today, start today loyal from every well we got was Joe there to take you Bruce appreciate you you joining us and this is where the ideology of the Democrat party are left is bumping up against the moderates because their move and and Joe Biden has made it clear that this is his belief as well. Dear move is to get the US off gasoline our state of New Jersey where Bruce is from where I'm from. We have Gov. Murphy who saying I want you to California of the East and he is he wants to push through the Democrat state legislature will probably happen in New Jersey no houses being built anymore. With gas heating or no gas stoves and gas ovens and all that stuff.

None of that will be available anymore but yet electricity in the state of New Jersey almost all of it. The best dressed like 80% of it is generated by natural gas so I can who do you think is going to provide energy cleaner. Bruce made an excellent point. Russia, India, China, now we have more restrictions in this country on the production of of energy on the use of coal and and digging for: processing coal and the same thing for natural gas etc. and crew. We've got that strictest restrictions here and we enforce them. They don't but this is about getting you out of your car and getting in to an electric vehicle because that's what they think is going to solve the world's problem because in their brains. The biggest problem facing us right now is climate change. They think they can't. I keep telling me I keep hearing that you know Pete you jackbooted judge can't solve the supply chain crisis right, that's a bit a big problem and we still have the supply chain crisis.

They can't figure that out but yet they're going to control the temperature of the world of the planet, they can tell me what the weather's going to be like in 10 days from now but did tell me that that they can control the climate I'm sorry but that's just a disconnect in my brain and and everyone is absolutely right. We put ourselves in this position with food Joe Biden did it with the stroke of a pen because you reverse everything that trumped it. Joe listening on KF NX in Arizona, Joe.

You're on the Brian can reach a high going goods what your take on this.

While I do agree with Ruth.

I mean that the really good point yeah, clean it when on the planet.

Only thing that comes out of our whole plant, water vapor, our scrubbers are uniting over internal format around uniting all of their all of their union. All their plant, but I did one point I heard I heard Wayne Allyn root yesterday to really good point. Ukraine is Biden closet full of skeleton you think we a Democrat. They think we have a short memory where Biden crime family method around in Ukraine and China and all that Vladimir Putin gets in Ukraine you get the inside baseball Biden crime family. That's why that's why Biden cannot have Vladimir Coogan Ukraine. I've had this discussion with lots of friends. Joe, thank you so much for joining us. Here's the thing.

No is they get Zielinski. They have a list we know that we been told that the Russians have a list of politicians and and high-profile Ukrainians that they want to capture and or kill right you know Zielinski is at the top of that list if they can get their hands on Zielinski. Maybe a lot of Biden secrets die with him so that may not be a bad thing for Joe Biden and the rest of the Biden family and I thought well all right that that may be something to to take into consideration there and if this were imagine and I hate to play this game but imagine if this was trump that we were in this position with the left to be screaming about trumping in bed with Ukrainians right.

That's exactly what would be happening on Mary Walter in for Brian kill me on Fox's radio Fox News radio studios New York City you opinions and facts with positive Brian at least 20 explosions here in the capital and you. We suspect that it's mainly been military targets military intelligence command-and-control centers.

Russians have said they are using precision guided weapons would not heard any reports of mass casualties here in the capital but certainly the explosions are enough to scare the heck out of people.

People are throwing what they can in their car and getting out in the government you just a couple days ago saying there will be no wider war that changed dramatically about an hour before dawn today is when the first explosions hit series 045 Steve Harrigan reporting from Kievan the Ukraine joining us now is Mark Theissen, former chief presidential speechwriter for George W Bush Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist also a fellow at the American enterprise Institute Mark, thank you for joining me to be with. So we surprise I was surprised when I saw that they went right to keep. I kept being told to keep his 500 miles from Russia.

They just want to go for these these two states Eastern that are close to Russia. They want to bring them back into the fold. I wake up this morning to them donning Keith was I was I misled on that or we we expecting this all along. I think the work area limit on going for it will be Strike to overthrow the regime install pro-Russian government� There could go for the Baltic states to. We are aware of the birds of a cataclysmic war and the consequent growth your home or are why now, why is Putin doing this now, because the moment of American weakness. No court happen month after the withdrawal from Afghanistan. He knows the president Biden's week at home and the main tool that we have short of military action to to is sanction and particularly the only thing only major exports. Russia oil and gas what you know that Biden is waging war on vocal filter at home prices are our dollar $15 anymore the property calculate the button that will trigger on the kind of thing that would raise prices above four dollars, maybe five dollars a gallon so you think that the buttons we get home we come. The world America is not in a position to confront or stop taking a shot.

Two were referred to refer to and guess what it is shot in Ukraine, China may decide the moment through our to go for Taiwan America America America no longer to work.

We have a resort argument, but it has been declining and we no longer capable of putting to work there couldn't come to Taiwan to deter Russia from going for the Baltic state really escalated dramatically beyond beyond Ukraine very quickly so many questions that I have because I I did want to ask you about the Chinese as well with this. Okay, so, so he is perceived he perceives Biden as being weak and I think he's gone with that assessment, we, I mean Biden cannot told him we will not send American troops to Ukraine. Okay, now I know what I'm up against it.

He never, I don't think I'm not as military strategist, but it didn't seem like a smart move to me when Joe Biden said we will not commit American troops to this by Biden is as weak as as we all seem to think that he is doesn't benefit from keeping Democrats in power. We have the midterms coming up and were already thinking that it's going to be you know of a red wave that is going to wipe a lot of Democrats out of power and make Biden pretty much a lame-duck when he want to maintain that and so maybe do small incursions and and smaller movements because he could take more and more and more over time into an little bites as opposed to this one big full-blown war. This can hurt the Democrats a lot here and he may lose that Joe Biden as an friendly power.

I think I think you should something here. The window, but window quote who do not meet again, but for one or both Outlook Congress for for three more years, so he got this window. Although you might not stop in Ukraine general jockeying like WHAT the hell going on this week and you know everyone thinks well the Baltic the other night. He said that all the countries that were for part of you do not.

Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union so therefore the court that also pocketable to look away in your lot. Everybody thinks well okay bear NATO allies so there's nothing there's nothing that he would go after the general jockeying when they win a wargame with the mission and work. It was about a Russian invasion of Russia were successful and took over the ball to breathe. So we are not in a position to stop him the Baltic states that we would then be at war with Russia because of article 5, but he could go for more: there's a lot he could very very dangerous situation of why we can't predict weakness on the world stage left ship is sadly already sound much if at all, does the Bible do the Biden family connections with the Ukraine play into this.

Is there a fear could that be playing in on Biden's part. The you know a lot of the Biden family secrets being laid bare title were terribly worried about making the vision of, or of any of the largest country in Europe.

Democracy, imperfect democracy, like many, many are but it's massive metal security crisis but let's talk about also the oil and gas part of this and the sanctions and a lot of people say okay so so Biden step made us we were energy independently. No longer are we actually import a fuel from Russia so we are dependent on that were going to see the prices go up here at the same time. Yesterday I we find out that Biden is halting oil and gas leases. Leases now because of a ruling that they lost earlier in February and it's going to that ruling affects at least four federal agencies. So instead of pushing forward and allowing these leases to go through the Biden administration is now halting them as we see oil and gas reaching almost $100 a barrel. Why in God's name would they be doubling down on.what is the thinking that is happening. They care more about acclimating to my care about Ukraine but simple limited speech on Monday started with an adult about region. We respond by visit. Quote my ministry every tool at our disposal to protect American rising part of the pump is not literally of the weekend or the weekend before bark, and a new federal rule or drilling on everything in your power to protect all you should be drilling everywhere vision on the Keystone XL pipeline pipeline would would allow us to bring in 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta. We only get 530,000 barrels a day from Russia so would more than make up exports from Russia why one would not approve mind-boggling. You cannot wage war on fossil fuels and prevent blood. Ukraine thinking on the Democrats.

I do want to get to China something to go quickly here. But thank you for the demo cuts they already know that their prospects were taught for the midterms are very bleak.

Are they just committing suicide. People paying five dollars a gallon. Vote for the party in power. The problem of climate change is a cold and bitter, and they are members of the cult drunk the Kool-Aid and you know they look at it very well Ukraine but is aware that more important, but we can't stop dealing with climate change and you know that there tropical and disastrous. We know we should be doing and all of the above energy approach. We should be sure we should be here for producing regular local drilling of what we can learn and where an energy superpower were when Donald Trump was an office right. The Democrats in the Cold War. We were a nuclear superpower which was most it was was important in our nuclear disarmament Russia that was a big movement with nuclear disarmament. The public would like. Now they want energy disarmament energy of it is that it is a tool of national security and their unilaterally disarming off of one of the most important tools we have short of war, and in protecting American national security and defending democracy around the world. It's just insanity to me very quickly in the time we have left you mentioned the Chinese and the Chinese saying that Taiwan is not you is Taiwan is not part of it is part of China that it is not a separate entity and we know it has existed since 1949 when the government led to escape the communist forces and they been there ever since. His shot across the bow from Beijing or is that something that's, you know, maybe just dumping their chests.

I don't know you interested in becoming Foreign Minister at the Munich security issued a statement in defense of natural wonders should not be able to buy what the sovereignty of another nation, including Ukraine and everyone thought all was born looking for the know would not because they considered high want to be inside their sovereign territory here with what we do in our sovereign territory did that was it. That wasn't a pro American anti-Russian statement that was a pro China taking over Taiwan statement so they they believe that China is the time one of the integral part of the and big move on it to tutor to reunite the United they warning us not to interfere in their internal well I just I just don't think that the current administration would be a string for any ministration to the current ministration can handle all these moving pieces Joe Biden as we know is not the best at foreign policy has been criticized by some in his own party for his inability to be able to handle foreign policy so but I honestly I don't know if he's not actually running the show when it comes to foreign policy. There are so many voices that had input into it that that could actually be something good. I think in this in this situation marked these and thank you for joining me 866-408-7669 is my number if you want to jump in.

Yeah I said I don't understand why the Democrats would be doing this now marks unique at the church of climate control but his approval ratings are underwater under the Russian Ukraine conflict as they are in so many areas are the just committing suicide, 866-408-7669 your calls coming up on the Brian Kilby show challenging conventional thought and was made. If you're interested in Ryan's talking about it until made to be ready by the way thought about the grade. I think that moving it can finish Cold War with a filled world will bill the danger is for the whole world is not going to stop know what that is met with 21st century. You should just don't know. You will go forward grade. Sorry, but you will not stop that selects a gun gun shot Enko, who is the Ukrainian in Ukrainian MP, and that's what we were were just hearing from Mark Theissen saying you know this may not stop at the Ukraine. There is nothing to stop them from continuing going on in taking back the rest of those breakaway countries mulled over being just on the other side of the Ukraine and there is I know about Moldova's 90 day fianc� one of the guys who wanted the Americans brought over is from Moldova and I was so curious as to where it was.

I actually looked up at the time on the map. So that's how I know which is very scary and you got in a ramblings from China saying what you know Taiwan is part of China is not an independent country is not an independent state.

It's part part of China and in China and Putin are very very cozy and that puts us in a very very bad position. I want to get your calls before I do I want to say hello to Kale IK in Jefferson City, Missouri. Thanks for listening. Thanks for having us. We do appreciate you having the Brian Kilby show let's go to Florida WO KV Steve you are on the Brian Kimmy Joe hi I you what your take on this. I think it comes out to the American people strain and acquire reopening the XL pipeline were opening all the federal oration drilling gas and oil, and hopefully he told that I will supply United will supply you with your problem.

What were getting you're getting otherwise marked. He doesn't care about to let his people start before you. Do you think that will happen no well I doubt Brandon is going to come out at noon and say anything other than to stick to our sanctions and the American people are going to have to suffer freedom. I think you're right. Sadly, I do because I did.

I think that as Mark Theissen said that you know this is the church of climate change and they worshiped the church of climate change and it's it's a belief just like a religion to them and it is so strong. For whatever reason Biden has decided to appease that part of his party. The far left. The only good thing that I see about this and thank you Steve for joining is the only good thing I die I can see coming out of all of this is that I mean it just sinks the Democrat party.

Even further, because you know they did with their kids in school and I can saying this is a silver lining because it doesn't matter whether a candidate has endearing or after their name, and whether the voter has a deer are after their name when you're talking about my kids, all bets are off anything.

It's the same thing when I'm trying to put food on the table but gases call it cost me 56 dollars a gallon to and I and I can't get food and I can't get supplies and start to look like Venezuela people who were sitting on the fence who are not far left who were saying this has to change and you got his approval rating a poll yesterday released by politico morning cup consult's showing 40% of voters approved of by mismanagement of the conflict that may have changed.

Today I 10% disapproved 35% said they strongly disapprove overall the poll gave him a negative approval rating 40 4053% 50% saying they thought Biden would be responsible if it increases American gas prices so the only positive I see here is the Democrats being so tone deaf. They don't see what this is going to do them coming up in 22 and in local elections as well coming up Dr. Nate Zinsser will be joining us. I held testing radio that makes you think this is the Brian Kilby show and a Mary Walter sitting in trying to kill me now is Dr. Nate Zinsser. He's a confident mind battle tested guy to unshakable performance and what a day to have you on Dr. Zinsser.

Thank you for joining us have doctors and there is the director of West Point in full performance psychology program so super interesting to have you here today because you get you train the nations of future leaders on on the mindset that prepares you to go into battle. You also train athletes that we know the names up to to be able to perform under stressful situations. And yet you say that the average person can also learn how to do this. What is the with the difference between those of us who know how to those of us who don't how to do this and those who do. I think the answer to that is simple exposure to some of very important effective thinking habit and anyone can cultivate those habits, we tend to put in all our Olympic gold medalist and our outstanding professional athlete on some kind of pedestal, thinking that they are no remarkably different human beings from the rest of us. When the truth of it is they are extraordinarily talented human beings but they are still human beings and Dave got pierced out like the rest of and so if we can teach ourselves to our children how to think effectively. Maybe they won't be the next Lebron James because they don't have that kind of genetic talent, but maybe they can be extraordinarily great at the things that they are calendared in we saw.of course, comes to mind is Simone Biles right.

She she wound up not competing because of some mental health issues that she was having at the time. So what happened there. I was at the right thing for her to do to pull out or was there a way she could have handled that in order to compete well I don't know Ms. Biles personally so I can't truly speculator I can't be definitive about that. She felt that she was not in the position where she could compete effectively and it was in her own best interest. Overall, to withdraw from the competition and prepare for some other ones.

That is a simple fact of being human. Sometimes we are not at our best times only have to step up and do it.

The Olympics is again. Again, it's an athletic competition. It's not life-and-death. It's not the battlefield where you really have no choice but to be as effective as possible. So, I truly understand the pressure that these Olympians are under. I truly respect their decision to step back a little bit and gain some perspective on themselves. Now you talk about that feeling you get in your gut before for some people for public speaking for Natalie before they go out on the field for Cmdr. before he goes into battle.net feeling that we get in our guts and the difference between I guess that makes a person successful is they embrace that and they use that uneasiness that it makes a lot of other people just fully and not be able to perform. Learn to harness that and make it work for you as opposed working against you. I think we can understand what is actually going on in your body as you feel that you not in your stomach if you feel the perspiration, the shaky limb. What what's really underlying that is the simple fact that your body is undergoing a biochemical shift that is designed to energize you actually give you an opportunity to perform well what you do.

Unfortunately is appropriate those theological signals as an indicator that were not prepared we will do well when actually those signals are simply telling us that our body is going into an elevated state to help make that speech play that game give that presentation and if we start with that understanding, then we could change the narrative that we tell ourselves about those physical symptoms. Thank God I'm so nervous we can fix while I'm excited my body is turning on that put you in a whole different emotional state and will allow so much better, your talent, your training, your knowledge to come out on demand. I just find the whole thing so interesting. One of the other scenarios that I thought of when I was when I was reading this is that I wouldn't does this work for phobias.

So many people and phobias.

I hear so many young people talk about anxiety. I have anxiety. Everybody's got anxiety now appeared to the age of I just work for things like phobias and does it also help understand that people who made deal with anxiety and have a problem with that. I think it can help definitely that feeling of fear and doubt and worry which will leave some kind you label anxiety for that fear is the result of many many cases not certainly not in all cases, but in many cases it's the result of this repeated thoughts that we have about things we ruminate about difficulty particular class or particular task at work or particular personality that we have to interact with in our work team and it's that repetitive thought that basically produces a mood or an emotional state of irritation and worry. So if we can get a hold of those conscious thought and this is a standard practice in psychology. Get a hold of those conscious thoughts we might alleviate all of those uncomfortable feelings are certainly cases where some deep-seated problem or difficulty may have happened in the person pack and then we might have to dig a little deeper.

But even in those cases eventually you're just going to have to get a hold of how you think what you remember what you say to yourself all day long, and what you picture about your future and everybody can get a hold of that veteran better and better with practice and one last question compete camp. Herein she use the advice in this book, the confident mind to help their kids as their growing up in in athletic performances but also in school to get a hold of this.

Oh, absolutely.

I think it is crucially important for parents to model the effective thinking practices that I recommend that they are children who are very empathetic cool cool door of everything that mom and dad do they get a sense of that and then you can also very carefully communicate to your children about the progress they're making emphasizing that rather than emphasizing the setback. You can teach your child to maintain a optimistic sense of who they are and what they have the potential to be or other than feeding to them. Memories of disappointments and one lady them about how hard it can be close things out or else your child develop a opinion of him or herself.

That is probably going to lead to, as we've been discussing your doubt, worry when it comes time to take the test to play the game yeah and what you talk.

Taking away the importance the implications of winning or losing, and taking her thought process away from that and it's no longer about that. It's about hey I think I can go do this I will hit the ball. I'm I will you know get that good grade and it's a very different way of thinking that I think a lot of us currently think it's a different mood than the way a lot of Americans think so. The book is a confident mind.

A battle tested guy to unshakable performance. You can follow him on Twitter at Doc Zinsser's EIN SS ER thank you so much. This is truly great on a day like today when were talking about all these military events happening and you happen to train a lot of those West Point grads and how to be a good performer said thank you and thank you.

Best of luck to all your listeners up there. Thanks Drs. eight Nate Zinsser, your calls, 866-408-7669 as a number of Mary Welter sitting in for Brian kill me jailing lightning you're with Brian kill me breaking news unique opinions.

All Brian kill me, Joe.

Ukraine is never coming and I don't we. We knew they were coming and they list the reason why we should now or later. If we had taken Ukraine in middle membership off the table shot out of actually avoiding this altogether instead we Say no to doors open to what you tell is not were not good phot so now Ukraine is on the road. Nobody spotted and was a chance to prevent this bloodshed and wouldn't even try as a tenant. Col. Daniel Davis retired on Fox News at night and a lot of this does go back to NATO and membership in NATO in 94.

We had while back in the 90s.

Vladimir Putin said I don't want NATO countries.

These these former parts of the Soviet Union the former Soviet Union. I don't want these countries becoming part of NATO. I want a buffer between NATO countries and and my country and we gave him that promise. And then we went back on that promise. And there was a big push by Bill Clinton to bring these countries into NATO and I understand where Vladimir because I can't trust you.

When it comes to Ukraine. If you say they're not to be a NATO trust in that right now and he wanted that back and he may go further, as we keep hearing, he may go back and take some of these other countries but then you bring NATO into it, depending on the countries that he goes after try to bring them into the Soviet Union. Think big mess.

866-408-7669 in your hearing a lot of analogies to Hitler with the Sudetenland and the start of World War II, while their Germans. They did this used to be part of Germany I'm just bringing them back to the fatherland.

It's the same language that Putin is using this. Dave and I in Lincoln Nebraska look for listening on KL IN hi Dave, morning. I wanted to say that I think it time to be proactive rather than reactive.

What I mean by that is I think it before. All of Ukraine and then decides that he wants to move Hungary and Romania why why are NATO countries sending crews crippled into Moscow right now. What you really think that stopping the flow of natural gas Nordstrom into from Russia to Germany. Puking from continuing his march across Europe. You know it's time to get proactive rather than the other, and I had what can a happy billions of dollars of weapons that we sent over to Ukraine for countries to get over by the Russians are going to fall into the hands of the Russians very similar to what happened in Afghanistan yet well from what I understand from what I've heard and those are all great questions which obviously I can't answer those questions.

I don't know why were not doing some things and I don't know if I you know having having Europe start launching missiles into Russia and go for a full war in Europe, bringing millions and millions people into out of that such a good idea.

On the other hand I look at I got Chamberlain sure to Czechoslovakia but leave everybody else alone. That didn't work out too well, so, so any and his put neck I how far will he go don't know. Only people who are close to him can answer that question. I really want to go to that point as far as the weapons. He is apparently told and we know that he told any Ukrainian who wants to stay and fight. He'll give you weapons in a way that's a good thing because he knows that if Putin starts to come for him because food want to take the whole country.

They have a list of politicians and elites in Ukraine that they want to quote unquote capture and/or kill and you know that the president of Ukraine is at the top of that list. So is he is protecting himself with Ukrainians were very nationalistic, who are willing to fight for the country who have been training to fight citizens, ordinary citizens, and he's handing them guns going okay.

Take what you learn so he will at least have that ability of having an armed citizenry to help protect the country and help defend the country. Now how many of those are our weapons. I don't know. But is that necessarily a bad thing in that situation. It doesn't sound like a bad thing, but again I can answer questions a lot of unknowns here are really L on W PTF in North Carolina you're on the Brian kill me till the morning good morning good morning a great show. I want to start a startup but we're here now because the political game day and what I mean by that is, they hated president shook so much that they just said anything with his name on it that was going to.

Over time, they didn't they didn't because I would do with working.

What was bad what we need to get rid marriage and so and so one day when a alternative energy policy that we no longer with energy energy dependent energy energy independence. Now we have to couch so all these other places you know and another thing that I didn't hear anybody mention what happened when we didn't get to the bottom of the scandal will president Joe Biden bowed by and the scandal Ukraine so we never get to the bottom of that we don't even know looked at me like you don't know what the deal late in the that did not hear a lot of people saying that will be soon. Admit it will newsflash Ukraine is not a member state, you know, I think it purely is one of the things that present a chocolate door was focused their lines are national pictures you know in and put in the thanks in Russia that's like okay I'm about to put you in them about the platitudes to start put yourself in the face when our gas prices continued.

They are really all crazy now, but when they continue to elevate go, what you know is not doing well as the citizens of the United States was being punished for what is our return on investment like those are all great questions and thank you for bringing up again I appreciate that you bring up Ukraine is not in NATO, we are not obligated under any obligation to come to the Ukrainians aid a really a thank you for joining me in making that point I that's a really good point it out with the last caller said why are we in why is Europe shelling Russia they're under no obligation to defend the Ukraine and Putin wants to make sure that that never will happen. Should he want to take. He did not want Ukraine in NATO. He wanted a buffer around his country of countries that are not part of NATO, so they are under no obligation to do so, which again makes me ask the question why is United States getting so involved in this. Why are we getting involved in this. This is Europe's problem.

So there are so many unanswered questions will keep you updated with changes through out the shell. I promise you that on the Brian kill me child New York City fresh set of Fox and friends saw America's receptive voice Brian kill me. You're learning right now that Russian troops entered the Chernobyl zone of northern Ukraine. This is significant because it is a direct pathway to the Ukrainian capital of key reports due indicate they are facing some fierce opposition from Ukrainian forces and this does come as we are still following that story taking place just about 15 miles from the Ukrainian capital, where Russian forces reportedly took over a military airfield. We saw some video earlier of helicopters that were targeting airfield as they tried to take it over and Ukrainian forces say they have shot down three of those attack helicopters that was tray Yanks in the Ukraine. In his latest report there joining us now is Daniel Hoffman is a former CIA station chief served in Moscow, Iraq, Pakistan, South Asia, and Europe. He is a Fox News contributor Daniel thank you for joining us at quarter where hearing what's happening here it is for the latest update from trading still looks like they are looking for a direct path to keep. We know that the Russians have a list of people that they are looking to capture and/or kill. I would assume that Zelinski will be at the head of that list if they capture and kill basically assassinate a foreign leader. What happens where do we go with this and how involved is the US have to be well and has already shown complete disregard for international law by invading Ukraine on the pretext and violating Ukraine territorial integrity 2014 when they invaded Dundalk and illegally annexed Crimea. They violated the UN charter by 70,000 troops on Ukraine for back in April of last year and then 200,000 patient of this invasion extrajudicial killings and you'll have no doubt that there's a long list of those Ukrainian officials. I would also believe that the government our intelligence community is actively collecting intelligence indications and warnings and designed to to help those those folks stay out of harms way, as is unfolds so rapidly and we have, I can put going so much further than a lot of people thought he was going to go. You have China now coming out and saying that Taiwan is not an independent state that it is part of China. This seems to be spiraling out of control very very quickly. What is the US's role in this Ukraine is not a member of NATO, widely involved, well, you know, my first started serving in the US government. It was shortly before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and back.

Then we thought we were headed for post-Cold War New World order where countries respected the sovereignty of other nations. And that's why George Herbert Walker Bush built a global coalition to confront Saddam Hussein on the organization send our troops to Ukraine but we could've done a lot more to shore up Ukraine defenses over the past Buckley ducted right now because we could do that will paying the consequences only emboldens search for short China watching very closely at the extent to which the US-led NATO ally is unable to counter Russia's invasion of Ukraine and that carries with it all sorts of challenges because China is has been active in seeking to penetrate Taiwan.

There defenses. Taiwan spent Buckley equipped billion dollars a year scrambling there their jet fighters in response the world we are in a very perilous inflection point. Like now in the world and we US leadership we need someone to lead the president to be standing up on the political quickly president Reagan did and very carefully and specifically outlining your strategic interest and while this matters to us. Ukraine was a buffer between Russia and Europe in the call number Europe GDP of about $15 trillion at the one lesson we learned from the previous centuries.

But when when conflict military conflict erupt, confident economy direct interest in United States, and of course if Russia takes Ukraine look like they will that with implications for Turkey because muscle control block three seems again as from a layman's point of view. This seems to be to have come out of left field and it's happening so quickly. Were we asleep at the wheel here was Europe, asleep at the switch were politicians. NATO in general just ignoring the signals coming from Putin or did he just surprise everyone. Private anybody remember that troops you know also go on Ukraine for so but even before that. Recall that upon becoming preppy coming president of Russia Vladimir bought successful once defeated Chechnya. Then he moved on and defeated Georgia in 2008 annexed Crimea and illegally unabated.

Ukraine 2014 and then dispatched Russian troops overseas to fight for the first time the collapse of the Soviet Union in support of groups. Dictator puts all the thought inferior one almost worse than that gave him. I think a measure of humor. But what he could accomplish in his own backyard.

We got lots of intelligence effective administration abiding ministrations been running like a live Twitter feed the classifying intelligence about plans and intentions thinking wrongly that that might deter him from taking action against Ukraine absolutely wrong about that.

And what about the sanction punitive economic measures never change what calculus you need strong diplomacy you need to write military tool to get not US cliques on the ground in Ukraine, but more military presence� You cannot important which we have not provided to the extent that we should so what we gotten this wrong for so long it over a great question and historian, but I don't think will be very concrete success of US administration to put reset with Russia to go back to the Obama administration.

You know or good relations with Russia ahead of shoring up Ukraine defenses as if those things are mutually exclusive. We could have provided Ukraine with the military and other, but they needed to defend himself while concurrently seeking to engage Russia impact that would've been a much smarter thing to do. Love how much operate over the world to prevent Dominican yahoo visited Moscow more than he ever visited the United States. Why is that well. He needed to visit Marco because Mark felt been providing aid to Israel primary goal in the world the wrong we felt like we couldn't help. Ukraine is much as we should've out of concern that there would be impact collateral damage to whatever efforts were trying to deliver on Russia failure on our part because he forgot the blood serve in the KGB a lot more like your young global videos like Bork Yelton and I think that was a strategic failure. But again, you are ministrations United States and the blame goes back decades. When it comes to all of this need only 94 with the expansion of NATO, despite saying that he didn't want that. I want to play cut here for you. This is nine Eric its Jennifer Griffin on Fox News at night and Jennifer Griffin is an excellent reporter and she is a reporter.

She is not an opinion person you should give her opinion and she's very sober. I want to hear what she had to say about Vladimir Putin man somebody who had gone completely mad. What we're doing tonight a moment in history, something we have not seen for generation war on Europe sovereign country being invaded by a nuclear power. Putin has gone completely mad, and I heard that assessment from others as well. Are we dealing with someone who is out of control. Jennifer is one of the best in the business and if an honor to be calling. I think the question for the US and told him sure that the bimetal whole lot of requirements that he's deliberately issuing to the to the RC right now and want to go to work with client and intention what calculus I still believe that he is a coldly calculating intelligence officer winning right now, show me anywhere. Vladimir Putin is not winning right now at this particular moment felt.

I don't rule out that he may have overstretched general penis.

But thing that we just were talking about that all all on TV that together and I would recall, and I'm sure one very much aware of the first world war resulted in the collapse of the dark Templar that Sec. Brezhnev in the couple years of his life started to invade Afghanistan and that drove a few more nails into the evil Empire's coffin. So glad you have to be concerned about the potential that this attack on Ukraine could result in a very bloodied insurgency in result in Russia spilling a prohibitive amount of blood and treasure all about the possible but remember that Ukraine is an essential correct. What about me, Putin is willing to pay just about any correct any part and not that Ukraine is an essential threat because of any military prowess or profit.

Ukraine is seeking to build a democracy with Todd to the West. Nothing is ever scared lot more than liberty, freedom of democracy does the things that will rip apart his regime in which most Brenda because he denies all about, to his own. So when we go from here I guess is the question it's been handled wrong.

As you noted, by successes successive presidencies. This is go back decades before we misjudged at every most every term we have the hand we have now.

This is where we are. We can't go back and change anything you said sanctions don't work. They don't hurt Vladimir Putin. He knows there only to hurt Americans because we are no longer energy independent so he can cut off you know his when he's giving us he can cut that off are going to have prices go through the roof to heat and cool your home and drive your car in to get goods, etc. where we go, what is the best option at this point for America. What we are playing a losing hand right now. There's no question about the we have failed to deter Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine and once again violating Ukraine's territorial integrity and what Vladimir Putin is doing is anticipating on his chest for what our next move is in the blood and attrition that that they would provided Ukraine so they could melt an insurgency Vladimir who has already issued a statement official statement that if anything like that ever happened in a bushel respond with the most. Countermeasures with note that insurgency depend on faith. We know that the Taliban had Pakistan in Iraq. The militant Iran is their safe haven and so there are number of NATO members on the world you claim flock you hungry: Romania and Vladimir Putin want to ensure that there ishaven for Ukrainian fighters in those NATO countries that we could be headed next significant.

Don't expect the resolution of this court anytime soon. I'm sorry to say that the darkest days may very well be ahead of don't think Vladimir Putin is planning on de-escalating this anytime soon. I think things will get a lot worse. And again, whatever economic measures would like to take you any nothing to do enough to change the calculus so we could basically in a nutshell beheading to full-blown war on the European continent yet again. I think that all parties are going to want to avoid that would be extraordinarily disruptive and it bad enough as it is right now you looking at massive numbers of refugees fleeing Ukraine and an optically lots of economic hardship which member on top of the cold pandemic that China can't feel this is another shock to our global economy that we don't need to think about the question of whether we do see more expansion of the war beyond the borders right now Ukraine coming that would be a horrific consequence of this, and I'm quite sure that there will be a lot of discussion diplomatic negotiations seeking to avoid late don't think one that in this calculation. Once the war starts to me looking all whatever plan they don't really apply anymore after the first shot fired in a lot of shots fired already in Ukraine and that was an extraordinary challenge for the bond ministration which you have been focused on go back better in covert relief that I'm not think of those things are important infrastructure matters.

But when you turn your head away from Afghanistan or from answering some of the other threats that we face the wickedly challenging complex threats want to bite us in the rear rent limit is very quickly in 30 seconds because right really up against the clock. Can China pressure Russia to back down. No Norwood but I will tell you very quickly. This wasn't about NATO and the United States. When delivering a message to the Chinese, Ukraine's number one trading partner China and the Chinese by this and by his deployment and conduct on the silk Road do what you like with it, but I own the geographic income they down the road when China and Russia are no longer strategic allies.

But the long-term and the adversaries. We know there's going to be an issue but that message to the Chinese as well, shouldn't we shouldn't. You failed advantage of Daniel hopping. Thank you for joining us today.

This, it just gets scarier by the minute and we will keep everyone updated. Thank you so much, 866-408-7669 your calls and then we will be joined by Harry Kaz Yannis from the center for national interest on the Brian Kelly child giving you you need to know your Brian kill me. The fastest three hours in radio with Brian kill me months ago when US what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing Americans of Russia, Al Qaeda is Russia in the 1980s allow calling as per the foreign policy because the Cold War's been over 20 years, 20 to love telling Mitt Romney that the 90 day want their foreign policy back in media all laughed and chuckled and what old man Mitt Romney is. He's young and cool like Obama didn't age well did it marry Walter sitting in for Brian kill me. 866-408-7669 is a number if you want to get in on this.

Alex listening online in Mountain View, California. Alex on the Brian kill me. Ciao hi hi thanks for taking my call to the current autocratic government of Russia has existed throughout two decades because the majority of Russian supported and maintain it. Therefore, they are responsible for the actions of the government just as the Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were responsible for the actions of their government in 1945. That means that Western sanctions and Ukrainian military operations should in fact target Russian civilians when enough enough of them have suffered and died as a consequence of war and will force a lot of reporting to stop his aggressive behavior toward other countries. I hear what you're saying Alex I don't necessarily agree with all of it because I don't think that they have fair and free elections in in Russia and so I don't know if this be I don't know if the citizens of Russia actually really do elect their leader. I don't if they really do elect Putin or data elect Putin so I so I don't know if that's fair you know a people could say the same here and there are plenty of people who disagree with this administration or disagree with the last administration.

But we do tend to have a peaceful transition of power. We want to maintain a peaceful transition of power so I know that it's fair to hold the the populace responsible for what the ruling elite do. And in this country as they have in Russia. We do have a ruling elite class, whether we want to admit it or not, but we do and they live by a different set of rules and the rest of us. They are allowed to do things were not allowed to do and I do think they're the ones who should be held responsible coming up Harry Kaz Yannis, senior director for the Center for national for the national interest is an excellent piece talking about five ramping up US energy production. That is the one way to make pay On the right talk show that's getting you your Brian kill me. Our economy is roughly 15 times larger than Russia's economy were the most powerful economy in the history of the world and to impose sanctions on financial institutions to cut them out of the monetary system were the American dollar is used is literally to cut them out of commerce around the so I believe we'll be putting strong economic sanctions will to be arming Ukraine in a very real sense and and lastly we all be moving resources through NATO to our NATO allies in the region because my concern is Putin moves across the landscape in Ukraine with ambitions that I think the well beyond the so-called separatist areas that are likely won't stop there.

That was a former VP Mike Hance on with Sean Eddie last night on Mary Walter sitting in for Brian kill me. Joining us now is Harry Kaz Yannis.

He is the senior director for the Center for national interest. Harry, thank you for joining us. Grace be with you now. I told everyone you have a really interesting article of call to make pay. Biden must ramp up US energy production hearing from a lot of people say the way to get around this is to become energy independent. Once again, why did she reverse all the eos that you signed reversing everything Trump had done in order to give us a shot here and not having to bow down to Putin but it doesn't seem as if anyone thinks that Joe Biden will actually do.do you think Joe Biden will do what you have to or you differently done in the midterm gun in 2024 look United States has the ability to pump usually 14 to 15 million barrels of oil per day. Right now we are only producing something like 11 during the compeers were pumping around 13 million barrels of oil per day. We have almost a natural gas is a thing like depending on the expert that you talk to between 50 to 100 years of natural gas. You can easily be sending much more to Europe we would build replace everything that the Russians give them a huge chunk to make things a lot. You cure for absolute guilt that Pres. Biden is so handcuffed by the progressive left that he is not able to change course. He needs to do what Bill Clinton did back in the 1990s and realize that far left agendas are a really only American people and change course and move to the center through the only thing you can do at this point we see this divide in the Democrat party where you have the far left of the party Nancy Pelosi kowtow to them when they first came in.

I remember AOC staging is sitting in her office. Like the first day I and she allowed her to get away with that they never slapped them down. They never got them in line and now you're seeing this takeover of the Democratic Party by the far left whoever is running the show for Joe Biden which there's somebody behind him who hasn't a big hand what is happening. Policy wise either doesn't see the divide in the party or is welcoming the divide in the party and they as a previous guest said they worship at the altar of climate change, and it is like a religion to them so they would much rather have us spending $10 a gallon for gas because it would get us out of our gas cars were to go to electric vehicles and electricity is made by magic, and it's free so they would run. They would rather have that and even heard was it a cut, here is the vice president saying you have to suffer.

There's going to be some pain for Americans for a war that's happening in the Ukraine estimate as they're accepting this letter, I think like him.

A lot of Americans were crack me not you know that most Americans are very political they try to stay in the center and I think you look at this issue. I do believe there is some sort of man-made situation that is increasing the climate. I know science expert, but I think that things like a logical argument. The question here is what do we do about it and what can we do about it. Really, the time to be arguing over climate change. We have war in Europe. We have gas prices that could get five or six dollars a gallon we could go back to oil that the hundred and $47 a barrel, which is the record back in 2008 I think Americans realize that sometimes you have to put the kitchen table issues first and think a little bit more about the short medium term and making sure that people have jobs that we don't have 15% inflation. I mean that those who think they think that matter to Americans right now, especially will were just coming out of the covert pandemic went millions of people lost their jobs.

Millions of people you know credit pay rent credit pay mortgage Americans are really just getting back on their feet here if you want to get hit with another whammy like that. July need to think about the thinking you can make it very itching to see what you for your address coming up. I think that is a mark people that work. You gotta make that like you got what he's giving a speech today sometime this afternoon and I think he he has to make say something that I think that is more important, did not waiting to the state of the union.

This has to happen now before ABC Putin in Poland or what countries announce American lives on the line you are actually right. I think we have to say it is very clear one kicking Russia out of the global financial system, he can't be afraid to kick Russia out of Swift to make sure that they can't do transaction the dollars you know has to learn and understand that there are consequences for he does and we have to ensure that future pain doesn't want to move on Taiwan or the South China Sea and the East China Sea are other areas you need to now just like we were talking about the United States is going to start pumping oil like crazy. I mean I doubt is of course a long-term challenges are pretty easy to get all those oil rigs back online. You know, tens of thousands of oil workers have left their jobs and moved in other places across the country, but we gotta start getting back into the spirit and finally look you have a foreign policy that has the ability to focus on China as well as Russia. Those are the two biggest threat. I think it would be smart to buy the administration to announce that and make sure that we can walk and chew gum at the same time good time to focus on one no authoritarian government versus the other for little while but we have to be able to do both. We can have this choice will were doing one of the other because the other one will just take you say to put wants to damaged Ukraine he does want to destroy and conquer it. Do you still feel that way. This morning I do with all my heart. Think of it this way.

Conference held country is just a big gas station there demographics are terrible. Alcoholism is rampant there clear quality of life, their life expectancy there in the toilet. To be honest with cannot swallow Ukraine whole. You would basically die have geopolitical execution.

You know the short medium term gas prices and oil prices will keep in fat happy for little while but we all know the market comes back with the war. Those prices will box the hyper up to three years from now we could have a huge chunk of Ukraine but does he want to really think billions of dollars fighting accountants counterinsurgency when the United States knows how to play that game in reverse. Lawbreaking did not yet.

They took most of the country, but we started given was your hiking stinger missiles and all sorts of small arms and have your arms let the Soviet Union pretty badly. I don't want to make them go and do a lot of damage. You can make it so the wax does not want to touch Ukraine when it comes to you, but he conquered the country. It didn't take the five whole II predicted the end of letter producing, not right now. Click cuticle years from now very possible so you don't think that as they had to keep which apparently that is exactly where they're going is going to keep you don't think he he tries to get Zelinski and capture Zelinski and maybe kill him that I think Russia ends up becoming a robust approach to now start to go up there like Nazi Germany and I think at that point it was that stupid. The entire international community would organize him in a way that hasn't been seen for the end of World War II that landed that stupid that he would be essentially ending his will I get not right away, but the amount of military pressure that we placed on him.

The amount of forces that would be a route realigned to Europe to take him on US military budgets would go back up our country would start going very close to your work, but could make that mistake you will not be able to keep up that I would get to the gas station. If those prices go down. He can't keep it up forever. We have to keep that in mind so so much to unpack and this is been happening incoming this is been coming to head for decades, and Putin chose now we can argue over why he chose Downey because he sees weak leadership whenever it happens to be worse here mechanical back and undo anything that got us here so the only way we can do is instead of placing blame it is to move forward and to look forward and I hope you're right. I really do because I years is one of the. The most I guess conservative opinions I've heard and and I like I don't like to think that we are heading to full-blown war on the European continent.

Again, that's not something I want to see in my lifetime at all and I don't and I honestly don't think anyone wants to see that in their lifetime on on the European continent Harry because he and his thank you so much for joining us that the articles consummate put paid by must ramp up US energy production.

It is a great take. Thank you, 866-408-7669 let's get some ear calls in here on the Brian Kelly Joe going to go places you need to know the kill you so busy. No major anyone who tries to interfere with us or even more so to create threats for our country and our people must know that Russia's response will be immediate will lead you to such consequences as you have never before experienced in your history Vladimir Putin on Tuesday saying you come to Ukraine say pay for. I like to cut 11 Eric this is Ukrainian MP Alexi gone to wrinkle on Fox news at night last night saying we need help. I'll be ready. We ready to fight.

When we received good.

The last time but this equipment everything is about 5 to 11, which is very important. Sorry for all, but what is very important to disguise his assistance. No reverse Russia usually understand it much more powerful. You know this guys though just no-fly zone just to give us a unity if I don't go around. That's what is very important for the moment, but they're not a NATO country. So who's going to give them that no-fly zone not our job.

I want to see Americans die with enforcing a no-fly zone over the Ukraine. I think it should be our job.

Maybe people maybe some of the European countries closer to home for them. It's much more their problem. I mean it.

So I make it's our problem too but they are much more at risk of some kind of imminent invasion from Russia then then we are geography, 866-408-7669 is my number letter to Georgia and say hello to Jeffrey on the Brian kill Michelle hi Jeffrey, thank you so much. I kind of designed Segway mnemonic comment by that a little new media piece about universities and wealthy students. You see what I mean. In a moment, you know, I saw a bumper strip sticker the other day on a vehicle, radical thinking is the United States second national deficit. You asked the question why we got know where we are today you that general rhetorical question.

You know what is happening in this country and for a long period of time both administered Republican Democratic Party is that now policy is driving intelligence rather than in our own lives week is good if we can think before we make various actions and decisions in our lives right now in the United we have policies and their driving there being gripped our intelligence community is taking a back seat to our policymakers and I'm going to say why the University comment was important. Many, many, both of our policymakers are journalists and people who are driving the foreign policy of the United States have come from what I called poison ivy league goals and new schools are getting just like you're a little news comment made their wealthy students there being engineering guided by various conditioning thoughts of the that have infected our foreign policy and the results are situations varying from the takeover of Tibet, the Vietnam War, Cuba.

The horrible situation in the Middle East, Afghanistan. The situation in Europe where we will dado cup country to become involved with the Russian oil and on and on and and you make that you make a good point about this woke ideology. Jeffrey, thank you for that. The military is is gone well. Great were having all our soldiers are being subjected to to all this critical race theory and if you wait your horrible person instead of instead of fighting as Americans there breaking them down into classes as they are doing with the rest of the country. It's easier to conquer. If you're divided right but with your foxhole you don't hair the color the skin of the man or woman next to you, write you because you're fighting for a common goal, but the woke left is trying to defeat that and it has seeped in to our military, and it has seeped into their training and it is a very bad dangerous thing in my humble opinion, I think it's bad, dangerous.

But especially in our military. Let's go to New York and Bob listening on WABC hi Bob, good afternoon, good morning. Thanks for taking my call. I don't see Vladimir.

Strong leader is a bully always a week okay was a bully also wanted Douglas too much okay with this is what the way I see it, what's the difference was so weak.

You know how come he took out the leader of ISIS that really didn't get a lot didn't get a lot of attention. You know everyone. Away from that because it was a Sunday.

So my question here is a hypothetical different between men, the leader showed his true colors and apparently you know what I would do you want no sign of strength which individuals would triangulate that look like short from jaws that animal he is a war criminal and you know what if we took him out. Nobody. Everyone in Russia with okay well I just don't think that that's something that Joe binds to do number one and number two I think it inserts the United States into a battle that right now is not ours. Right now it is not our battle right now this is this is Ukraine and Russia, and then the surrounding countries, and more so you it's their battle.

I don't know where the US has the right to the left loves to talk about morals and we morally right to go in and take out you know Vladimir Putin or start inserting ourselves into flyover Russian airspace start killing people. I would think that the left think that that's a terrible horrible thing. It's morally repugnant. Center was talking about morals and morally obligated to do such a good-Tia Quigley Jason in Galveston Texas we have about a minute JC on the Branca Meacham thank you have a girlfriend who lives in Moscow.

I've known some high school and she is. She looked out there for a very long time and she calls me and she been talking and she says well you know the world looks at United States as the police you know law and order. They have a Constitution they have Bill of Rights and they watched the Democratic Party for the last six years break laws throughout the country rip up everything they know about Constitution and Bill of Rights and attack and get away with it and and they think, and she thinks that her her her group in the little town that they would live in that that was that was pretty much what kind of set them off and say why why have to will be international law when the Jesus I am so sorry but we are up against the clock. I apologize for that. I think Americans look at the Democratic Party and say hater getting away with a lot.

How come business. I think that's a question a lot of Americans ask as well.

I'm very much.
