MOUND WILL BE YOUR BEST DETOUR FOR THIS MORNING.
FOR THIS MORNING.
>>> I CALL ON YOU TO DO MORE!
>> Pamela: UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY’S CALL TO
CONGRESS.
>> I CALL ON YOU TO BE THE
LEADER OF THE WORLD.
BEING THE LEADER OF THE WORLD
MEANS TO BE THE LEADER OF PEACE.
>> Pamela: HIS DIRECT MESSAGE TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN, NOW SENDING 800
STINGER ANTI-AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
AND 100 ARMED DRONES TO COMBAT
RUSSIAN FORCES.
>> OUR COUNTRY HAS TO DO MORE.
>> Pamela: LAWMAKERS IN BOTH
PARTIES STIRRED TO ACTION.
AND JOINING ME THIS MORNING IS
CONGRESSWOMAN DEBBIE DINGELL WHO
WAS IN THE CAPITOL FOR THE
EMOTIONAL ADDRESS.
CONGRESSWOMAN, GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
GOOD TO BE WITH YOU THIS
MORNING.
>> Pamela: THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
AND WE WANT TO KNOW, DO YOU FEEL
THE U.S. IS DOING ENOUGH RIGHT
NOW TO HELP UKRAINE?
>> I DIDN’T QUITE CATCH THE
QUESTION.
>> Pamela: WE WANTED TO KNOW IF
YOU FEEL THE U.S. IS DOING
ENOUGH TO HELP UKRAINE.
>> I THINK THAT IT’S VERY
IMPORTANT THAT WE SUPPORT THE
PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.
THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH OBVIOUSLY
WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AND
PASSIONATE YESTERDAY AND HIS
STRENGTH AND HIS COURAGE JUST
INSPIRES ALL OF US.
WE MUST DO, AS A COUNTRY, IN
CONJUNCTION WITH OUR ALLIES,
DELIVER BOTH HUMANITARIAN AID
AND WE REALLY TRULY HAVE A
HORRIFIC HUMANITY CRISIS.
THE PRESIDENT SHOWED US PICTURES
OF CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN
KILLED, OF PREGNANT MOTHERS THAT
HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL THAT
HAVE BEEN BOMBED.
LATER, NOT SEEN ON WHAT YOU ALL
HAVE SEEN, TALKING TO THE
UKRAINIAN AMBASSADOR, THERE ARE
1500 CHILDREN GETTING
CHEMOTHERAPY IN THE COUNTRY AND
THEY CAN’T GET MEDICINE INTO THE
COUNTRY FOR THEM.
AND THE MOTHERS AND THE CHILDREN
WERE SOMEPLACE BETWEEN 1.5 TO 2
MILLION WHO HAVE LEFT UKRAINE
AND IN A SURROUNDING COUNTRY
THAT WE HAVE TO HELP.
HE HAS ASKED AND WE ARE MAKING
SURE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR
ALLIES, THAT THEY HAVE THE
EQUIPMENT THAT THEY NEED TO BE
ABLE TO FIGHT THIS WAR.
I THINK THAT THERE ARE
COMPLICATED SUBJECTS, VERY
FRANK, THAT DON’T BELONG ON THE
FRONT PAGE OF PAPERS OR IN THE
NEWS HEADLINES LIKE THIS, ABOUT
OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.
THE NO-FLY ZONE IS A VERY
DANGEROUS POLICY.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE AMERICAN
BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE.
AND I DON’T WANNA GO TO WAR WITH
RUSSIA BECAUSE THE POSSIBILITY
OF WHAT WORLD WAR III WOULD MEAN
AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS, BIOLOGICAL
AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS ARE NOT
SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE IN ANY
COUNTRY, LET ALONE IN SOME KIND
OF GLOBAL WAR.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
WE NEED TO BE VERY STRONG IN
FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY AROUND
THE WORLD BUT UNDERSTAND THE
DANGERS AND WHY THIS IS ALL SO
FOCUSED.
>> Pamela: AND THAT’S WHERE YOU
DRAW THE LINE IN AIDING UKRAINE
WITH RUSSIA, SO DURING PRESIDENT
ZELENSKY’S SPEECH YESTERDAY, YOU
MENTIONED THIS A LITTLE BIT A
MOMENT AGO, BUT WITH YOU SAW THE
DEVASTATING TOLL ON UKRAINE AND
IT’S ONLY GETTING WORSE AFTER
THE BOMBING OF A SHELTER WITH
CHILDREN INSIDE.
AT WHAT POINT DOES THE U.S. SAY
THAT’S SIMPLY ENOUGH?
>> I THINK WE HAVE SAID THAT.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO FOR OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY, WITH OUR
EXPERTS AND OUR ALLY EXPERTS,
AND THIS IS GLOBAL, NOT ONLY OUR
NATO ALLIES ABOUT COUNTRIES
AROUND THE WORLD ARE DISTURBED
BY WHAT THEY’VE SEEN IS TO
ENSURE THE UKRAINIANS HAVE THE
SUPPLIES THAT THEY NEED AND IT
ISN’T EVEN THE AVAILABILITY OF
THE SUPPLIES, IT’S THE LOGISTICS
OF HOW TO GET THEM WHERE THEY
NEED TO GO.
BUT EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT ON A
BROADCAST LIKE THIS CAN BE
DANGEROUS.
SO I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT
PEOPLE ARE TAKING THIS VERY,
VERY SERIOUSLY.
AND DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK IN
THE WORLD.
THIS IS A TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED
WAR, UNPROVOKED AND GETS TO THE
HEART AND SOUL OF ALL OF US, BUT
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF A
BROADER KIND OF WAR IS NOT
TRIGGERED.
