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.
