US YOUR POINT OF VIEW.
>> Rachel: THANKS FOR COMING
ON THE COUCH.
>> Steve: WE SHOWED YOU THE
CAPITAL CITY OF UKRAINE.
ON CAPITOL HILL, AND ABOUT
28 MINUTES, UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY WILL ADDRESS
LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH CHAMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
>> Brian: REPUBLICAN SENATOR
FROM LOUISIANA,
SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY.
WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO ASK FOR
PURITIES CAN ASK FOR THE PLANES
IN A NO-FLY ZONE.
I’M NOT SURE HE’S GOING TO GET.
SHOULD HE BRING SOMETHING ELSE
TO THE TABLE BESIDES THOSE TWO
REQUESTS?
>> YES, BUT LET ME PUT THIS IN
PERSPECTIVE.
I WANT TO BE FAIR.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS DONE SOME
THINGS RIGHT.
IT’S A SHORT LIST, BUT ONE
EXAMPLE, THE WEST HAS IMPOSED
SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA’S CENTRAL
BANK, WHICH HAVE HURT PUTIN.
HAVEN’T BROUGHT HIM TO HIS
NEEDS, BUT IT’S BEEN HELPFUL.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN BAMBI’S
BABY BROTHER.
HE WON’T GIVE
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY WHAT HE
NEEDS TO FIGHT THE WAR.
IT ZELENSKYY WHO FRANKLY HAS
BEEN AN ICON OF GUTS AND
LIBERTY.
HE HAS UNITED THE WEST.
HE’S BEEN ASKING US TO SEND IN
OUR OWN PLANES, OWN PILOTS,
KNOWS WHERE YOU’RE NOT GOING TO
DO A NO-FLY ZONE PRETTIES MADE A
VERY REASONABLE REQUEST THAT WE
FACILITATE THE SUPPLYING OF
PLANES THROUGH THE WEST THAT THE
UKRAINIAN PALS CAN FLY.
WE WOULD DO IT.
CAN I MENTION ONE OTHER THING
WHICH THE PRESS JUST HASN’T
REPORTED ON?
TREASURY SECRETARY WITH THE
WHITE HOUSE IS OKAY GAVE
RESIDENT PUTIN $17 BILLION FOR
THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
IN AUGUST.
WE’VE KNOWN SINCE APRIL THAT HE
WAS BUILDING UP TROOPS GOING IN.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE TREASURY
SECRETARY GAVE IRAN $5 BILLION.
IN CHINA, SHE SIGNED OFF
$40 BILLION FOR CHINA.
WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS HERE AND
NOBODY WILL TALK ABOUT IT.
>> WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR?
>> IT IS THE IMF.
THEY ARE CALLED SPECIAL DRAWING
RIGHTS.
THEY ARE GIFT CARDS.
RUSSIA CAN TAKE ITS GIFT CARD
AND GO TO THE IMF AND SAY, I
WANT DOLLARS OR I WANT EUROS OR
I WANT PESOS.
AND THE COUNTRY WHO OWNS THAT
CURRENCY HAS TO GIVE IT TO HIM.
RUSSIA HAS TO PAY A REALLY
TEENY TINY INTEREST RATE --
WHICH THEY PROBABLY WON’T PAY.
IRAN WITH NO MORE NEGOTIATING,
NOT WELL BUT WE ARE TRYING TO
NEGOTIATE.
WE GAVE THEM $5 MILLION.
AND, LOOK, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT HAS A HUGE CONFLICT IN
TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH IRAN.
HE NEEDS TO STEP ASIDE AND LET
CONGRESS DO IT.
>> Brian: THE WAY YOU LAY IT
OUT, SENATOR, YOU MAKE IT SOUND
LIKE THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY
FUND AND THE UNITED STATES BY
EXTENSION HAS BEEN SUBSIDIZING
MR. PUTIN --
SUBSIDIZING THE WAR.
WE HAD THIS PROBLEM TWO WEEKS
AGO WHEN MEMBERS OF YOUR PARTY
WERE CALLING FOR --
IT GOT TO STOP BUYING RUSSIAN
GAS AND EVENTUALLY THE
ADMINISTRATION WAS KICKING AND
SCREAMING TO THE TABLE.
THEY SAID WE ARE GOING TO STOP
THAT.
WE KNOW THAT INDIA IS GOING,
RUSSIA, YOU GOT CHEAP GAS, WE
WILL TAKE IT.
>> WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR ENERGY
POLICY.
BACK IN APRIL AND THE BANKING
COMMITTEE, I BEG SECRETARY NOT
TO DO IT.
SHE DID IT ANYWAY IN AUGUST THEN
SHE THREW IN $5 MILLION FOR IRAN
AND $40 BILLION FOR CHINA.
THROUGH THEY ARE CALLED SPECIAL
DRAWING RIGHTS.
I WILL BE GLAD TO COME ON AND
EXPLAIN IT.
THEY HAD MADE THEIR COLLECT HIDE
A BAG.
THEY NEED TO GO TO AMAZON AND
BUY A SPINE ONLINE.
THEY ARE GOING BACKWARDS HERE.
>> WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE
IRANIAN DEAL IN TOTAL SECRECY IN
THIRD ROOM.
IT SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT
WE TOLERATE.
THEY ARE CUTTING AWARENESS DEAL
WITH THE WORST COUNTRY ON THE
PLANET THAT IS GOING TO DISS AND
LAUNCH ANY TYPE OF BALANCE IN
THE MIDDLE EAST.
HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GET AWAY
WITH THIS?
>> THEIR PRESIDENT HAS A CONFLICT THAT IS OPEN, OBVIOUS.
CONFLICT THAT IS OPEN, OBVIOUS.
>> Rachel: WHAT IS THAT?
>> THE PRESIDENT REFUSES TO
STAND UP TO THE WOKERS WHO HAVE
TAKEN OVER HIS POLICY.
HIS ENERGY POLICY IS WIND, AND
PIXIE DUST.
HE REFUSES TO --
ANY DEAL HE MAKES WITH IRAN,
THERE’S GOING TO BE AN
APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT BECAUSE
THE WORLD IS GOING TO FIGURE,
WELL, HE MADE A DEAL TO GET THE
IRANIAN OIL BECAUSE HE REFUSES
TO PRODUCE HIS OWN.
THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO STEP
ASIDE AND TURN THE NEGOTIATIONS OVER TO A BIPARTISAN GROUP IN
OVER TO A BIPARTISAN GROUP IN
CONGRESS.
>> Rachel: START BY GETTING
RUSSIA OUT OF THE NEGOTIATING --
OUT OF THE NEGOTIATING FOR US
AND THAT THEY’LL APPEAR TO
SENATOR, TODAY SPEAKING OF
DEALS, ZELENSKYY IS COMING INTO
SPEAK TO CONGRESS.
HE HONESTLY HAS THINGS THAT HE
WANTS.
AT THE SAME TIME, HE IS WORKING
ON A POTENTIAL PEACE AGREEMENT
WITH RUSSIA HOPEFULLY TO END
THIS WAR SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY.
HOW DO YOU THINK THE TWO THINGS
HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME
IMPACT EACH OTHER?
>> I HOPE IT WORKS.
BUT I REMEMBER 1994.
I REMEMBER PRESIDENT CLINTON.
I REMEMBER THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS.
THEY SENT BY AND WATCH THE
MAJORITY OF HUTUS IN RWANDA SHOT
TO DEATH, 300,000 OF THE
MINORITY TUTSIS.
AND WE DID NOTHING.
WE DID NOTHING.
IT WAS NOT A LINCOLN MOMENT.
AND I’M NOT SAYING SEND IN
TROOPS TO UKRAINE.
BUT I’M SAYING WEAKNESS INVITES
THE WOLVES, AND THE ONLY WAY WE
ARE GOING TO NEGOTIATE A
PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO THIS IS BY
SHOWING PUTIN WE MEAN BUSINESS.
AND PRESIDENT PUTIN NEEDS TO
GIVE ZELENSKYY WHAT HE NEEDS.
>> Brian: WE HAVE TO FINISH
OFF THE RUSSIANS.
THEY’VE BEEN EXPOSED AS A HOLLOW
FORMER SUPERPOWER THAT NEEDS TO
BE REINED IN.
THIS IS THE CHANCE, ISN’T IT?
>> YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BRING
RUSSIA TO ITS KNEES UNTIL YOU
STOP ITS CASH FLOW.
IT GETS ITS CASH FLOW FROM OIL
AND GAS.
COUNTRIES HAVE TO BUY ITS OIL
AND GAS BECAUSE THEY SAY WE
CAN’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE.
YES, YOU CAN, IT’S CALLED THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
ALL BIDEN HAS TO DO TOMORROW IS
SAY SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT I’M
ADOPTING AND ALL OF THE ABOVE
ENERGY TYPE POLICY, WIND, SOLAR,
BUT ALSO NUCLEAR, FOSSIL FUELS,
OIL, GAS, AND TURN TO THE SHALE
PRODUCERS AND TURN ON THE PALM
SPIRIT >> Brian: IN THE
MEANTIME WHAT THE MESSAGE HE’S
PUMPING OUT IS IF IT COSTS TOO
MUCH TO FILL UP YOUR CAR, BLAME
PUTIN WHICH I THINK --
RIGHT UP THROUGH --
>> Brian: BUY A TESLA WHICH IS
