Welcome back welcome back Joe Biden, demanding consequences for putin, as the world watches the horrifying reality of russias invasion. Is he a war criminal, but we have to gather the information we have to continue to provide ukraine with a weapons. They need to continue the fight and we have to gather all the details. So this can be v an actual war crimes trial. This guy is brutal, congressman and national guard. Colonel Michael waltz sits on the armed services committee and he joins us now. Thanks for being here, hi pete heard him. He needs to supply weapons and quickly say we need to designate him as a war criminal. What does Vladimir putin actually respect and care about now if we are trying to bring this war to a conclusion, thats advantageous to the ukrainians, Vladimir Putin is going to continue to push until he meets steel, cold, hard, steel and military might
pete. Today we have secretary of defense, austin and general milley before the armed services committee. My question is focused on two things: one were providing weapons, yes, but we need to provide more sophisticated weapons and number two: where is the training that goes alongside it? The nato commander last week testified that we are not conducting any training pete and you well know you cant provide some of these more sophisticated weapons like counter battery radar to go after their artillery and hand him instruction manual as you load it on the truck. You actually have to provide the training and we are not doing it before, but not anymore, and then the weapon systems are going to them. Thats right, we stopped it mainly. We focused oon training, the javelins, all these other things that finally belatedly too little too late providing now and congress is pushing them
to provide. Let why arent we conducting that training in poland or some other country they can actually operate it. The final thing this- and this is the big policy question: why arent we supporting zelenskyy in an effort to win to actually drive russia completely off of ukrainian soil. They just struck into russia proper in that oil field that the ukrainians just hit. Are we going to actually continue to help ukrainians go on offense, even if that means hitting inside russia or will Biden, decide thats too escalatory and provocative and start pumping the brakes? Those are the policy issues we need to get to right now. Those are the questions to ask for sure another topic, the so called dont say gay bill which doesnt say gay and has been totally mischaracterized from the beginning: the florida parental rights law. The white house was asked about it yesterday and they are standing behind it. They are refusing to talk about at what
age. Kids children should be taught about sexual orientation and gender identity. Here is the exchange between Jen psaki and own peter Doocy. What about this new law in florida? At what age does the white house think that students should be taught about sexual orientation and gender identity? As we look at this law, what we think is a reflection is of politicians in florida propagating misinformed hateful policies that do absolutely nothing to do address the real issue. This is a politically charged harsh law that is putting parents and lgbtq plus kids in a very difficult heart breaking circumstance. So she didnt answer the question and totally mischaracterized the bill, which simply says parents should deal with this sex and gender thing. Maybe when they are in kindergarten. Let me help her out. Let me tell you what the answer is not.
We should not be teaching sexuality to 5 year olds to prekindergartens to first graders. Second graders its just unacceptable that kind of issue, even if it would come up. I know you are a dad pete, so am I. I dont see that coming up with five six 7 year olds, not unless the adults bring it up, thats right. That needs to be handled at home number one number two right now: the united states is sitting 31st in the world in math, and I believe, ninth or tenth in reading lets teach reading and writing to our kindergartens through first graders. At the core of this pete is parents taking their childrens education back? This is a parental bill of rights in terms of taking charge of their education in florida and thats. What this bill is going to do its supported by a majority of floridians for sure, governor Desantis, leading the way and others standing behind him,
common sense, basic decency and yet look at the way its been demonized one last thing: real, quick, former green beret national guard, congressman and childrens book. If, as well tell us about dawn of the brave coming out today, this is a book about supervisors, about team work about serving a cause greater than yourself its intended for six to 10 year olds, its part of a subscription you get one a month. If you go to brave books, dot com, it is not available on amazon, brave books, dot com and each month you get a book focused on different family values, on faith on family, in this case, on team work and on serving your country and all of the characters come together to defend freedom island from a group of pirates who want to take their freedoms away. We are really excited about it.
Pete, fifteen dollars of every description goes to samaritans purse for all the work they are doing in ukraine. Everybody is wringing their hands about the garbage. Our kids are being taught, lets, take that back and give them conservative traditional content in their hands and thats. Why im so excited to partner with brave books on this, and do just that, for your kids and.
