>> HE’S NOT BLUFFING.
VLADIMIR PUTIN MAKING A CHILLING
THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR TRYING TO
UPSTAGE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S BIG
SPEECH TO THE UNITED NATION.
THE RUSSIAN LEADER CALLING UP
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
RESERVISTS TO FIGHT IN UKRAINE
FOLLOWING FRONTLINE SETBACKS IN
THE WAR WHILE CLAIMING HE’S NOT
BLUFFING WHEN IT COMES TO HIS
NUCLEAR THREATS.
HERE IS BIDEN, HOURS LATER.
>> POLLUTANT IS MADE OVERT
NUCLEAR THREATS AGAINST EUROPE.
IN A RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THE
RESPONSIBILITIES OF A
NONPROLIFERATION REGIME.
THIS WAR IS ABOUT EXTINGUISHING
UKRAINE’S RIGHT TO EXIST AS
STATED, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
AND YOU CREATE ITS TO EXIST AS A
PEOPLE.
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU
LIVE, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, THAT
SHOULD NOT -- THAT SHOULD MAKE
YOUR BLOOD RUN COLD.
>> Jeanine: BIDEN DID GET TO
SPEAK ABOUT HIS FAVORITE TOPIC.
>> I HAVE HIT SIDE TO HISTORIC
PIECE OF LEGISLATION HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES THAT INCLUDE THE
BIGGEST MOST IMPORTANT CLIMATE
COMMITMENT WE’VE EVER MADE IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
THIS IS A GLOBAL GAME CHANGER.
AND NONE TOO SOON.
WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME.
WE ALL KNOW WE ARE ALREADY
LIVING IN A CLIMATE CRISIS.
NOBODY SEEMS TO DOUBT IT AFTER
THIS PAST YEAR.
>> YOU KNOW, GREG, RIGHT NOW
WHAT YOU’VE GOT HIS MONTHS AND
MONTHS OF A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN ENDED SUPPOSEDLY WITHIN A
FEW WEEKS.
NOW VLADIMIR PUTIN’S BACK IS
AGAINST THE WALL AND HE’S GOT A
FINGER HE IS ALLEGING
UNTHREATENING ON THE NUCLEAR
BUTTON AND HE’S THREATENING TO
ALL OF US.
HE DOES HAVE A NUCLEAR ARSENAL.
>> I FIND IT INTERESTING YOU SAW
BIDEN -- I WONDER IS 57,
$60 BILLION IN ARMS SENT TO
UKRAINE, DOES NOT HELP OR HURT
THE CLIMATE CRISIS?
JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE.
I MEAN IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE YOU
CAN’T SAY BOTH THINGS.
YOU CAN’T ARE IN A CRISIS AND
KEEP A WAR GOING ON WITH
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF OUR
DOLLARS WITH MISSILES AND BOMBS.
I DON’T THINK PUTIN PLANNED ON
THIS.
IT’S A CREDIT TO THE UKRAINIAN
FIGHTING FORCE IN OUR BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, BUT I THINK IT’S A
GOOD SIGN FOR UKRAINE BECAUSE I
DON’T LIKE MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS
ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY THAT THEIR
FATHERS AND THEIR BROTHERS AND
THEIR SONS WHO WERE RESERVISTS
WHO MAY HAVE RETIRED TO BEING
CALLED BACK AGAIN TO FIGHT IN
THE UKRAINE.
THAT’S THE OTHER THING.
I DON’T THINK IT’S COMFORTING TO
KNOW THAT YOUR RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
MAY NOT BE COMING BACK ANYTIME SOON.
THEY ARE NOT EVEN -- I MEAN THIS
FROM AMARAL PERSPECTIVE.
THIS IS AN INFORMATION WAR AT
THIS POINT.
IT’S A WAR OF PERSUASION BETWEEN
TWO SIDES.
THIS IS A BLOW TO RUSSIA TO HOW
TO THEY EXPLAIN THIS.
THE MORALE IS GOING TO GO
DOWNHILL.
>> Jeanine: YOU KNOW, DANA,
THE TRUTH IS 300,000 IS THE
ESTIMATE OF RESERVISTS THEY ARE
CALLING OUT.
THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE MOVING OUT
OF RUSSIA HAD A RECORD NUMBER.
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY.
NOW WHAT WE’VE GOT IS HE SEEMS
LIKE A MADMAN.
>> Dana: I THINK EITHER HE HAD
BAD INTELLIGENCE OR HE JUST
ASSUMED IT WOULD BE EASY OR YOU
THOUGHT THE MILITARY WAS GOING
TO BE HIS MILITARY WAS GOING TO
BE A LOT OF MORE EFFECTIVE THAN
THEY WERE AND THAT THE
UKRAINIANS WERE GOING TO FOLD.
NONE OF THAT UP AND PEERED IN
THE PAST FEW WEEKS PUTTING THIS
OUT A HARD TIME OF IT BECAUSE
BOTH THE CHINESE LEADER IN THE
INDIAN LEADER HAD MEETINGS WHERE
THEY SAID WE ARE NOT FOR THIS.
YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
WIND THIS DOWN.
THEN HE HAS PRESSURE FROM INSIDE
HIS OWN GOVERNMENT, THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE SAYING HOW COULD YOU
LET THIS HAPPEN.
HE MIGHT SAY SOMETHING LIKE
USING A TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPON
OR AT WORST COULD BE SOMETHING
THE HIGH MARS, WHICH ARE THE
WEAPONS THAT WE’VE BEEN
PROVIDING, THEY ARE EXTREMELY
EFFECTIVE.
THEY CAN’T DEAL WITH THAT,
ESPECIALLY IF THEY’RE TRYING TO
BIO WEAPONS FROM NORTH KOREA TO
FIGHT BACK.
HOWEVER I MAINTAIN THAT BOUDIN
STRONGEST WEAPON THAT HE WILL
USE AGAINST THE WEST HE IS
ALREADY DEPLOYING, SHUTTING OFF
ENERGY.
THE UKRAINIANS CAN DO VERY WELL.
BECAUSE THE WEST CONTINUES TO
HAMSTRING ITSELF AND ITS ENERGY
PRODUCTION THEY ARE GOING TO BE
IN A WORLD OF HURT THIS WINTER.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A BETTER POLICY
SO WE NEVER GET INTO THIS
POSITION.
>> WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION I
DON’T KNOW THE WORK AND I HAVE A
BETTER POLICY AS IT RELATES TO
ENERGY.
THE TRUTH IS THIS GUY THINKS HE
CAN THREATEN US AND THAT WE ARE
AFRAID OF HIM IN THE HIGH MARS
WEAPONS THAT DANA REFERS TO.
HE TALKS ABOUT YOU THREATEN OUR
TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY YOU ARE
GOING TO GET IT.
>> SO ENERGY SECURITY IS
SOMETHING WE ARE LEARNING A LOT
MORE ABOUT, AND EUROPEANS ARE
LEARNING A LOT MORE ABOUT.
I DON’T BLAME THEM FULLY FOR
THEIR CHALLENGES.
THE EUROPEANS ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO ADOPT A DIFFERENT ENERGY
POSTURE GOING FORWARD.
PUTIN IS LOSING.
SEVEN OR EIGHT MONTHS AGO THIS
CONVERSATION THERE WAS A LOT OF
CONSTERNATION IN OUR
CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD OR SHOULD
NOT BE DOING.
I GAVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE
DOUBT.
IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE FAR MORE
RIGHT THAN WRONG.
70-80000 RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN
KILLED.
THEY CANNOT CALL, THEY CANNOT
IMPOSE A DRAFT TO BRING MORE
SOLDIERS INTO THIS BECAUSE AS
GREG SO APTLY SAID PEOPLE DON’T
WANT TO DO THIS.
I THINK WOULD HIS HEAD IS
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT AS
WE CONFRONT THIS QUESTION RIGHT
HERE WHICH IS HOW INDIA AND
CHINA ARE PERCEIVING PUTIN AT THIS POINT.
THIS POINT.
THEY HAVE BEEN ALLIES OF HIS.
CHINA’S LEADER AND RUSSELL’S
LEADER GOT TOGETHER SEVEN MONTHS
AGO AND SAID THAT THERE WAS A
LIMITLESS NATURE TO THE
RELATIONSHIP.
CHINA’S LEADERS THAT I NEED TO
BACK THAT UP A LITTLE BIT, THIS
IS NOT GOING AS WE THOUGHT.
THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES WHAT
HAPPENS?
WHAT IS NEGOTIATED OUT OF THIS?
IT’S HARD TO STOMACH TO GREG’S
POINT HOW DOES PUTIN LOOK AT
PEOPLE ON THE FACE AND THE
RUSSIAN SAY WE LOST ALL OF THESE
TROOPS, WE WERE EXPOSED TO NOT
HAVE THE MILITARY PEOPLE THAT WE
HAVE TO WORK IN A BACK UP NOW.
WE’RE IN A HARD POINT NOW.
IT WILL TAKE THE LINCOLN’S
OTHERS OF THE WORLD TO HELP
FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET OUT OF
THIS.
>> Jeanine: JESSE?
>> Jesse: I WOULD NOT RELY IN
THE BLANKETS TO GET OUT OF THIS.
SHALOMYAH BOWERS THESE ARE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
>> Jesse: YEARS BUT IS NOT
REALLY.
IF THEY HAVE TO MOBILIZE MORE
RUSSIANS ARE THEY GIVEN A HANDLE
AND HIM A 20 -- WENT TO THE
WINNER COMES AROUND THEY’RE
GOING TO BE CANNON FODDER.
THIS IS THE WORST MILITARY
PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I HAVE BEEN A STUDENT OF
MILITARY HISTORY.
BUT IS NOT SO MUCH ALL THE
WEAPONS WE LOOTED UP TO THE
UKRAINIANS WHICH OBVIOUSLY MADE
A CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE.
NOBODY EXPECTED THE MILITARY
TACTICS TO BE THIS TERRIBLE FROM
THE RUSSIANS.
THE TRAINING IS AWFUL, THEIR
EQUIPMENT IS OLD AND HAS COBWEBS
AND I TO, THEY CANNOT EVEN
COMMUNICATE.
SO IT HAS BEEN A DISASTER.
IT IS HARD TO FIGHT INSURGENCY.
LOOK AT THE AMERICAN COLUMN LOOK
AT THE AFGHANS.
WHEN YOU’RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR
OWN SURVIVAL IN YOUR OWN
BACKYARD AND YOU DO HAVE SOME
WEAPONS, YOU CAN PUT A HURTING
ON THESE INVADERS.
BUT IF I WERE PUTIN I WOULD SAY
WHATEVER I WANTED TO SAY.
HE COULD JUST LIVE.
WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO?
IMPEACH YOU?
COME ON, THE GUYS A DICTATOR AT
ALL OF HIS GUYS KEEP HAVING
THESE ACCIDENTS.
EVERY DAY YOU OPEN THE PAPER AND
ANOTHER ONE OF PUTIN’S GUYS SLIP
ON THE BATTLE AND AN APPEAL OR
GET PUSHED AWFUL YET.
THESE GUYS MUST BE REALLY CLUMSY
OR THEY ARE BEING ASSASSINATED.
>> Greg: I FEEL THE SAY AWAY
ABOUT THE U.N.
WE ARE BEING INVADED -- WE CAN’T
MOVE IN OUR CITY BECAUSE THE
U.N. IS HERE.
>> Dana: IT WAS GREAT WHEN
THERE IS COVID AND THERE WAS NO
U.N.
>> Greg: NOW THEY ARE BACK AND
THEY ARE USING ALL OF OUR ESCORT
SERVICES.
ALL OF OUR TAXIS.
>> Jeanine: WE END UP PAYING
FOR IT AND THAT’S A SHAME.
UP NEXT WERE MORE COMPANIES ARE
