THIS IS DAYS AFTER AND ARABS OF
SALEM STABBED FOR PEOPLE TO
DEATH IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL.
>> WE HAVE A BRIGHTER FUTURE AND
DEMOCRACY IN PRINCIPLE AND
DECENCY AND DIGNITY AND
POSSIBILITIES AND FOR GOD SAKE
THIS MAN CANNOT REMAIN IN POWER.
>> THOSE PRESIDENTS FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN IN WARSAW.
THE ADMINISTRATION INSISTS HE
WAS NOT CALLING FOR REGIME
CHANGE IN RUSSIA BUT CRITICS ARE
REPEATING TO THE PRESIDENCY IN
HIS WORDS ARE DANGEROUS.
LET’S BRING IN NEW YORK
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN LEE
ZELDIN A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE
FINANCIAL SERVICES IMPORT
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND CANDIDATE
FOR NEW YORK GOVERNOR.
OFF THE TOP YOUR HEAD, YOUR
THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE PRESIDENT
HAD TO SAY IN THE OVERALL TONE
OF THE SPEECH.
HERE WE GO A HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> WE ALL REMEMBER THE MINOR
INCURSION OF GREEN LIGHTING THAT
THE WHITE HOUSE HAD TO
IMMEDIATELY TRY TO CLEAN UP
BEFORE PUTIN DECIDED TO INVADE
UKRAINE IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE HAVE SEEN WITH VICE PRESIDENT
WE HAVE SEEN WITH VICE PRESIDENT
HARRIS DURING HER TRAVELS, WORDS
MATTER WITH YOU THE PRESIDENT
UNITED STATES AND
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AND THE VICE
PRESIDENT UNITED STATES, YOU
CANNOT BE SAYING THIS STUFF OFF
OF THE TOP.
YOUR JOB IS TO DE-ESCALATE, NOT
ESCALATE.
YOU HAVE TO BE EFFECTIVE AND
CONSISTENT AND BEING STRONG IS
IMPORTANT FOR A LEADER BUT IN
THIS CASE THESE ARE WORDS THAT
CAUSED AN ESCALATION WITH
EVERYONE ELSE’S TRAINED IN THIS
CONFLICT.
JON: I FIND IT CURIOUS THAT THE
UNITED STATES HAS NOT
GREENLIGHTED THE DELIVERY OF THE
SOVIET 29’S FROM POLAND TO
UKRAINE BECAUSE THEY’RE AFRAID
OF ANGERING VLADIMIR PUTIN.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT USES LANGUAGE
LIKE THAT, ONE COULD ONLY THINK
THAT IT WOULD ANGER VLADIMIR
PUTIN.
>> CORRECT THESE ARE TOOLS AND
RESOURCES THAT UKRAINE IS
REQUESTING TO DEFEND ITSELF.
THESE ARE FOR DEFENSIVE
PURPOSES.
THESE ARE TO MAINTAIN THE
TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY OF HER
COUNTRY AND TO MAKE SURE UKRAINIAN FLAG IS STILL FLYING
UKRAINIAN FLAG IS STILL FLYING
OVER KYIV.
I WOULD SAY IS LESS EFFECTIVE
BENEFIT AND HAD COME EARLIER. YOU HAVE SUPPORT THAT HAS BEEN
YOU HAVE SUPPORT THAT HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED IN OTHERS WANT TO AND
IT’S THE EARLIER TABLE TO GET
IT.
AND SAME THING ON THE SANCTIONS
ADDITIONAL TOOLS THAT MAY BE
AVAILABLE FOR THE REST OF THE
WORLD AND THE UNITED STATES.
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR,
THERE’S NO SENSE OF WAITING
LONGER AND SOMETHING YOU’VE IDENTIFIED THAT WE SHOULD BE
IDENTIFIED THAT WE SHOULD BE
DOING AND LET’S GET IT DONE.
JON: MOST OBSERVERS OR PEOPLE
THAT I TALKED TO THOUGHT THE
SPEECH WAS PRETTY GOOD UNTIL THE
LAST LINE WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING
AND IT MAY GO ALONG LAYING A LON
TO EXPLAIN WHY HIS POLL NUMBERS
ARE SO LOW.
NBC POLL BEEN.
40% APPROVAL RATING FOR THE
PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.
>> WE ARE NOT SURPRISED BY THESE
NUMBERS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS AND INFLATION AND THAT
CRISIS AND INFLATION AND THAT
EVER SKYROCKETING 7.9% THE
ECONOMIC DYNAMIC IS ONE THAT HAS
A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WERE NOT
PARTISAN.
I WOULD CALL THESE AMERICANS
YOUR AVERAGE EVERYDAY
NONPOLITICAL AMERICANS WHO ARE
UPSET ABOUT THE ECONOMIC POLICY.
WE TAG ON THE STORIES THAT MIGHT
BE COMING FROM THE WEEKEND
SOUTHERN BORDER CRISIS, THE
STORIES THAT COME LAST AUGUST IN
AFGHANISTAN WILL REEXECUTE IN ON
THE SIX-MONTH MARK WITH THE
UNITED STATES WITHDREW IN THE
NBC AND KYIV.
WE ARE MOSTLY PROUD AMERICANS
CONCERNED ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY.
SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT PAY AS MUCH
ATTENTION WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD BUT WE SEE THE
THE WORLD BUT WE SEE THE
SANCTION CUTTING OPERATION OIL
IMPORTS WE DON’T WANT TO SEE THE
ADMINISTRATION GOING TOWARDS
IRAN OR VENEZUELA.
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN SAYS THIS
IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK
AT HER OWNER ENERGY POLICY AND
RAMP UP PRODUCTION TO BECOME
ENERGY INDEPENDENT AGAIN.
I WAS IN THE COMMON SENSE
SOLUTION THAT MANY AMERICANS ARE
IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES WITHOUT
SEEING THEIR LEADERS IN
GOVERNMENT IS ANYTHING BUT
FRUSTRATED AND ADDING TO HIS
DISAPPROVAL NUMBERS.
JON: WE WERE A NET EXPORTER A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND NOW WERE
BUYING OIL OR HAVE BEEN BUYING
OIL EVEN FROM THE RUSSIANS.
AND AFTER CANCELING THOSE DEALS
WE ARE TURNING TO COUNTRIES LIKE
VENEZUELA TO BUY OUR OIL.
WHEN IT SIMPLY MAKES SENSE TO DO
MORE DRILLING IN THIS COUNTRY.
IF YOU GONNA BRING THE OIL AND
BRING THE PETROLEUM AND MIDAS
WILL BE AMERICA, SHOULDN’T IT?
>> NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
HERE IN NEW YORK STATE WHERE I
REPRESENT THE FIRST
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
WE HAVE SOME OF OUR REGIONS IN
THE STATE WE CAN BE SAFELY
EXTRACTING THIS RESOURCE.
WE CAN GREEN LIGHT PIPELINE
APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SITTING AS
STATE CAPITALS OR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
THIS ALL CAN DRIVE US TOWARDS
RAMPING UP DOMESTIC ENERGY
PRODUCTION AND CREATE JOBS AND
IMPROVE THE ECONOMY AND IMPROVE
ECONOMIC SECURITY AS WELL AS A
PHYSICAL SECURITY AND
ADVERSARIES ELSEWHERE.
THE HARDEST PART OF IT FOR PROUD
AMERICANS IS SEEN IN KNOWING HOW
MUCH RESOURCE YOU HAVE
DOMESTICALLY AND IT WASN’T THAT
LONG AGO THAT IS HE MAKE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD HER BACK
AND PURSUING THEM.
AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BAN
OIL AND GAS HOOKUPS ON NEW
CONSTRUCTION STATEWIDE IN NEW
YORK CITY RECENTLY DID THAT AS
WELL AND THEY CAN DO FOR
PIPELINE APPLICATIONS THAT WOULD
DELIVER NATURAL GAS.
THIS IS SOMETHING TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS, WE SHOULD LOOK AT
THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY WERE
COMING OFF RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS.
JON: THE UKRAINIAN SPEAKER OF
THE PARLIAMENT ACTING AS A
BUFFER OF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION OF NATO NATIONS.
NATO NATIONS.
LISTEN.
>> IT WILL MOVE TO ATTACK OTHER
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND YOU KNOW
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY
TALKING ABOUT THE NEED TO
DESTROY THE STATE.
JON: DESTROYED POLAND AND THE
BALTIC STATE.
THAT WOULD INVOKE ARTICLE FIVE
OF THE NATO TREATY.
YOU NEED TO STATES WITH HAVE TO
RESPOND IF THAT WERE THE CASE.
IT SEEMS CRITICAL THAT THE
UKRAINIANS WIN THIS WAR.
SO WHY DOES THE WHITE HOUSE NOT
DO MORE.
FOR INSTANCE ALLOWING THE
DELIVERY OF THE POLISH JETS.
>> I AGREE WITH UP WHAT VLADIMIR
PUTIN WANTS TO PUT MORE OF THE
SOVIET UNION BACK TOGETHER
AGAIN.
HE LOOKS AT THIS AS A LONG-TERM
LEGACY ITEM AS A GOAL OF HIS.
HE THOUGHT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO
TAKE OVER UKRAINE AS LITTLE AS
ONE DAY, OBVIOUSLY THAT IS NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT FOR THE UNITED STATES WE
NEED TO BANK DECISIONS ON WHAT
WE FEEL ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WHEN HE ANALYZE THAT REALITY
THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS LOOKING
TO GO ELSEWHERE, THIS DOES NOT
STOP INNOVATING THE TERRITORIAL
SOVEREIGNTY OF UKRAINE.
IT REALLY REMINDS ALL OF US TO
TAKE INVENTORY OF HER VARIOUS
INSTRUMENTS AND NATIONAL POWER
BUT ALSO TO EXECUTE THESE
OPTIONS IT AWAY THAT ARE GEARED
SOLELY TOWARDS DE-ESCALATION AND
NOT ESCALATION.
WE HAVE TO HAVE EYES WIDE OPEN,
PUTIN HAS A BIGGER AND SCARIER
