bans. ♪ larry: hello, folks, welcome to "kudlow," i'm larry kudlow. president biden met with china's xi xinping today in san francisco. so let's go straight to our very own edward lawrence who was there with all the details. edward, what's cooking? >> reporter: hey, larry, they pick ad really nice spot, just actually south of san francisco. that meeting is still going on. this is the first time president biden and president xi have sat down face-to-face in almost exactly one year and the message is still the same. the president wanting to assure the chinese he wants competition, not conflict. for president biden, this was a big reason he came to the apex summit in san francisco and this is what we heard. president biden: but our meetings have always been candid, straightforward and useful. never doubted what you've told me in terms of your candid which you speak. a critical global challenges we

face from climate change to counter narcotics to artificial intelligence demand our joint efforts. so i look forward to beginning this discussion. >> reporter: so in about three hours we will get a chance to ask president biden about his conversation. for president xi the meeting was a chance to size up his counterpart. the chinese would like to see sanctions eased. he will get is wish a little bit. china agreed to crack down on companies making, exporting fentanyl including the source material for the deadly drug. in exchange they will ease sanctions on the chinese for recognizic institutes. >> i think what we achieved, look the proof will be in the pudding. we'll have to see how it is implemented but so far we believe the chinese will take consequential steps that will essentially help us get a handle on really one of the most terrible drug epidemics the united states has ever faced. >> reporter: sew at the moment

we are lacking substantial deliverables that are colling out of this meeting here. as you know, larry, this is kind of a dance when you get to this level what these meetings are. i'm curious what you think as president xi sits down what is he looking for in president biden and what is he seeing in president biden at the table here? larry: edward, i was just curious if president biden asked xi why he was financing two wars against the united states by buying oil from russia and iran? then i wondered about the 350 billion-dollar trade deficit from untemporary trading -- unfair trading practices used to subvert america around the world this is all too friendly for me, hunky-dory. i don't buy it. >> reporter: that is what some critics are are saying. we talked to some the president is not standing up pick libly to president xi, this lives of things list of things almost

apologizing to u.s. portion of this when china is the aggressor. we heard that from the other side of this argument. larry: yes, sir, edward lawrence but we thank you for your coverage as always. have a safe great trip. just to comment on all of this, president biden, sitting down with president xi at this asia-pacific economic cooperation conference and talking about plain vanilla things like managing friendly economic competition or climate change or maybe better military communications or a.i., artificial intelligence. just kind of a friendly sit-down with a couple old-timers, honestly those were some of the topics as our edward lawrence suggested. so for me i could scream. in fact i am screaming. who is joe biden kidding? climate change? really? here's what i would like to talk about climate change as i said. china is financing two wars against the united states by buying russian and iranian oil.

now that's a climate change issue. it's also an issue that is damaging american security. it's also an issue that clearly reveals xi xinping's desire to replace the united states as the dominant power in the world. of course xi's oil purchases are violating american sanctions theoretically backed by the biden administration but in fact not enforced. remember ukraine? neither the u.s. nor a third party countries nor private businesses were supposed to purchase or insure russian oil. what happened to that? of course the trump iranian sanctions by congressional mandate are theoretically in place where joe biden is theoretically enforcing them have been completely abandoned. that is an international political climate changer, as in xi want to displace america. as far as all the green new deal

climate bunnies inhabiting the biden administration i doubt seriously if any of them advised president biden to ask xi why he is building 250 coal plants every year. somebody should ask xi in bidennesque world of emergency climate threats that don't exist why he is using all the dreaded fossil fuel purchases to wreak havoc on the world? just ask him, in public, with numbers, okay? china purchasing 1.45 million barrels per day at roughly $70 a barrel. so that comes to $37 billion for the iranian mullahs so they can destroy israel and the united states. china's buying 2.6 million barrels per day from russia at around the same $70 a barrel, coming to roughly $65 billion in fresh cash, for russia, so they can slaughter ukrainians. those are facts. but biden won't ask about them

because he lacks the moral clarity and personal conviction to ask. do you think president biden will ask xi why the united states is still running a roughly 350 billion-dollar trade deficit with china because of unfair trading practices? or has anybody told joe biden the trade gap with china will actually get worse because of all the greenie ev batteries, solar panels and rare earth minerals from biden's green new deal army will be made in china? former trump advisor, trump trade advisor robert lighthizer notes, all the u.s. cash exchanged for those huge trade deficits that has been used by china to help finance terrorism and mayhem around the world, to build up their military, including all the chinese fighter jets buzzing taiwan that came to a record 1700 times last year. or the cash used to subjugate hong kong's democracy or the genocide against uyghurs or the

technology that went into those fancy chinese spy balloons hovering over the united states? or all the money they're spending in our own backyard in cuba, central and south america, and cash for all matters around the world, the belt and road infrastructure they're trying to build in africa and elsewhere to spread their brand of chinese communism and upend american influence in every corner of the globe? why doesn't mr. biden ask mr. xi about those issues, why not? because biden foreign policy from top to bottom is built on an architecture of appeasing our adversaries and our enemies. no deterrents, no strong actions to enforce a diplomacy of america first. no toughness, never peace through strength. this foreign policy which has stretched from afghanistan to

ukraine, now to iran trying desperately to ignore the massive chinese threat has made the world a vastly more dangerous place. and that is my take, my riff. all right? anyway, let's move on. joining us now is a great friend, montana senator steve daines. he is chairman of the national republican senatorial committee. mr. daines as always, you know my wife is a montanan, we were married in montana, you know about all that and i appreciate you coming on the show. i know you're very busy but i want to ask you, sir, there are guy began tick issues out there not being addressed by this meeting. let me begin with the 10 billion-dollar asset unfreeze, unfrozen assets being discussed. i didn't put it in my riff, a separate subject. i know you opined about it. really? we'll unfreeze $10 billion and give that fungible money to iran

so they can kill more israelis and kill more americans and god knows what? can you all do something about that, senator daines? >> larry, when you thought it couldn't get worse it did in the last 24 hours. the biden administration lifted sanctions so the iraqis can buy another $10 billion of iranian oil. you can't make this up. watching that meeting between xi and biden as he was flying across the country, should have taken a turn south, gone to the southern border. it has been a year since biden down there, a year-and-a-half since the kamala harris border czar was down there, if you want to stop the fentanyl, secure the southern border this is national security threat, terrorism threat, illegals coming across the border and fentanyl coming across the border but you look at china they're the number one customer for iran for oil just as you articulated. they are funding terror around the world. they're funding hamas, funding hezbollah, funding the houthis.

if i was president biden woke up there morning what is the top of my mind? how do we prevent from the conflict with israel escalating into a world war? how do we protect the southern border to make sure terrorists are not coming across the border or stopping fentanyl. look who was in the meeting with joe biden? it was john kerry, his climate czar, and janet yellen who kowtowed in beijing a couple months ago. you heard biden own remarks. what does he start offer with, climate change. larry: i think john kerry should be in the meeting absolutely, because climate change is a big issue. it is just not the issue biden and kerry think it is. xi is using fossil fuel purchases, aka oil to finance two wars against the united states, russia-ukraine war, iran-israeli war. my question, senator, can't you guys either do something or talk about this? i'm not seeing it. i have saw your press conference

today. i don't know everything you said, okay but you're not raising this point. x xi xinping is using oil purchases which by the way are supposed to be sanctioned, in order to fight two wars against the united states, one of his puppets is russia and the other puppet is iran. now senator daines, you have got to do something about that you have got to talk about that, you have to go to the well of the senate, give a speech or go on tv like you are here, something has got to be done. this is the key to this meeting in san francisco. >> larry, there is a reason why with election of 24 is so important. we've got to get the votes in the night senate so we can stop this nonsense. larry: all right. >> put this nation back on a course. that is very, very important in 24. the biden administration drink this green kool-aid. we have to connect the dots make american people understand, the biggest issue is not climate change. the biggest issue is china

buying oil from iran funding two wars. larry: they want to replace america. they believe in their chinese communist system. they don't believe in our liberal democratic system. you know that, and i know that. i want to take a minute, go back to iran, you're an important guy, you run the republican senate campaign committee. i heard you speak in new york a couple months ago. looks like you might pick up seat in west virginia. that is interesting. give us a quick pencil guess, senator daines. this is very important, you're smack in the middle of what you just said. republicans need a senate. we need the white house, we need the senate, we need the house to stop all this crazy you know, damage to america. how does it look? how does the election look to you right now. >> i will talk to the united states senate. that is what i'm laster focused on. this is the best map in 10 years. we have three red states they have to defend in virginia, ohio, montana.

every single statewide elected official in is republican. joe manchin walked off the bat field with retirement. that is net pickup for republicans. we have montana, ohio, we pick up one of those two, we have out right majority of united states senate. we have five more, nevada, arizona, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. these are senate battleground states. they're presidential battleground states. the reason this is so important, larry, if you look at the future cycles in 26 election, 28. in this sigh kill we have three red states with democrats up. in 26 there is zero. in 28 this is zero. this is for all the marbles in 24. we have to get majority back because we don't get another map like this until 2030. larry: how is the money coming? how are the donors. >> we need those watching to make small contributions online to the candidates across critical states. we're battling democrats.

here is what is concerning me, five key states at the moment the democrats are outraising republican senate candidates four to one in the big states. they know this is for the super bowl. we know too. we have to get our people motivated not just for voting. we have to get them outsupporting our candidates to overwhelm, tv, digital and mail. larry: you want my wife to move back to montana where we were married so we can vote republican. >> your wife and you, larry to vote in montana. larry: senator daines, old friend, you're a great sport. thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thanks, larry, for more on the iranian funds which we didn't quite talk about enough, but let's bring in richard goldberg who knows a lot about it. foundation for defense of democracies, former white house nsc director. richard thanks for doing this short notice, we appreciate it so much. just walk through the mechanics of this. this is iraqi money.

this is not for humanitarian. this is not for food and medicine. as i understand it this is for oil, gas and electricity. i don't know what the state department spokespeople are saying. they're just lying. why is this money going there anyway in a time of war? >> well, thanks for having me, larry. if everybody remembers the six billion dollars, the ransom payment we paid iran for five hostages that moved out of south korea to qatar and the u.s. senate and the u.s. house on a bipartisan basis after october 7th said freeze the money, what we've just seen is that $10 billion just got opened up for iran on top of the six billion dollars out of accounts that were frozen in iraq. this is money that the iraqis were paying into an escrow account, $10 billion to import electricity during the trump administration and until now the biden administration we said the iraqis had to keep that money in escrow. the iranians couldn't access it. now we're opening up those

funds, letting iran access $10 billion, convert it from iraqi dinar to euros. move to accounts in oman. after october 7th, 55 attacks on u.s. forces since october 15th, what are we doing, larry? larry: to be clear, larry this is a biden executive decision. there is no magic here. is it an oman bank in iraq? i don't know who the banks are in iraq. whose bank is it do you have any idea real quick? >> we originally required them to put it into escrow in the trade name of iraq. we have banks used in europe, oman. it is moving around $10 billion. that is lot of budget support, money for terrorism opened up. larry: this is discretionary action by the biden administration. there is no rhyme or reason why they have to do this. in a time of war all promises

are off the table because of what they have done. we know that iran is the puppet master and financeer of this entire, awful hamas war. so what happens now, richard? in other words, steve daines didn't really exactly answer the question. we had steve scalise on. maybe the house can vote on the six billion to not freeze it but they will not be in session the next few days. i want to know if there is something that can be done to absolutely stop this besides public at suasion or we sit idly by let joe biden and antony blinken give another 10 billion so they can kill a lot of israelis? what can be done real quick? if senator mcconnell and republicans go to the floor with a bill we're locking down the 10 billion, six billion, erase

the waiver, erase licenses treasury don't is doing, we'll not allow business until we get up-or-down vote. we get that passed in the united states. democrats will not pass that. it will pass the united states house of representatives and we'll end it. larry: have you talked to mcconnell or people that talked to mcconnell? i need an action plan. i will do it after the show. i will start getting it in action. somebody has got to stop this from happening. money is fungible no matter what these state department people are saying, so all right. so basically though, just to finish this up, we appreciate your time, richard goldberg, this is a discretionary executive branch decision. there is no law, no rhyme, no reason why this has to happen except for biden stupidity or foolishness? >> correct. this is broke back iran and he just can't quit appeasement of this regime. larry: all right, thank you, sir. i appreciate it very much. richard goldberg, former of the trump national security council.

thank you, richard, we appreciate it. folks coming up here and the rest of the "kudlow" show, talking about hostage deal in the israeli war, is there a deal? what does the deal look like? we'll talk about that with benny avni, one of the great reporters with "the new york sun." lots to do on this show. we'll talk -- we'll come back to this chinese story and a little bit of politics. steve daines was bullish own republicans taking senate. i'm kudlow. i'm not in a good move about any of this as you might have realized. ♪.

thanks for helping us as always. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, larry, we can tell you that from here in southern israel, our vantage point we continue to hear all that outgoing artillery israel is still firing into gaza. that is happening as israeli forces work around the al shifa hospital. where the idf said its shoulders found weapons, military equipment and what they are calling proof hamas is operating within the largest hospital in gaza. they say after entering the hospital initially that soldiers engaged with militants killing them. for days israeli forces encircled the cifa hospital saying it sits above a hamas command center. after several warnings they started their search. hamas said the issued a statement, that the hospital was swarmed and i-df was putting lives of vulnerable civilians inside at risk. the idf showed video soldiers

delivering incubators, baby food and medical supplies to the hospital. prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited with soldiers and say they still have not completed their mission. >> translator: there is no place in gaza we will not reach. there is no hiding, no shelter for the hamas murderers. we have will arrive, eliminate hamas and return our hostages. these are the two sacred missions. >> reporter: farther to the south for the first time since october 7th, united nations fuel shipments were allowed to enter gaza. these are images from the rafah crossing. israel gave approval for the delivery of more than 6300 gallons of diesel fuel but some aid workers, larry, within gaza say it will not make up for the lack of fuel that right now is making life very difficult and desperate for the people who call gaza home. larry? larry: jeff paul, thank you for the update, we appreciate it. please be safe. so now, folks, boy this hostage

deal is there a hostage deal in the works? is there a cease-fire that will be part of it? where did this story come from? it came from left field. let's bring in benny avni, veteran correspondent and foreign editor at "the new york sun." benny, thank you. i don't know, first of all is there a deal? is a cease-fire three days, five days, the hostage, 70, 50 and where did this deal come from? because, benny, look it, i don't want to second guess and so forth but this is not exactly what prime minister netanyahu is messaging. >> well, i think the problem has always been at least publicly that the entire pressure on making the deal is on israel rather than on where it belongs which is on qatar. qatar is the mediator and, if you hear the u.s. talk they always praise qatar in its

diplomatic efforts while they're saying israel us do more to add to the, to the efforts in humanitarian efforts and all that and, send more humanitarian goods to gaza, in order to hasten the deal. the reality of this is that i don't know. it's all done very secretly. the head of mossad, the head was in doha, the head of shabbat, israeli equivalent of the fbi was in cairo yesterday. all of this is in the air. as you said the idea was 70, as of yesterday. today they're talking about 50. the reason was supposedly that israel was demanding that rather

than five days cease-fire, it will be three days cease-fire and the other reason could have been what biden said yesterday, which is hang on, we're coming, and indicating that the deal is closed. now when you say that publicly, that always helps those who hold the hostages. larry: yeah. >> hamas, add to their bargaining power. larry: we don't know there's a deal. >> to remind everybody -- larry: right now, benny avni, right this moment we don't know there's a deal. we don't have a deal this moment, that fair, or do you think there is a deal and it has not been announced? >> there's no deal until a deal is completed. larry: right. >> that's in every deal. you're a businessman. you know that from business. larry: right. >> it's the same here and it's even worse because here talking about a terrorist organization. just a reminder of who we're

talking about among these 230 hostages, we're talking about people in their 80s. we're talking who need, who need all kinds of medications that are not supplied. we're talking about women. we're talking about nine months old baby who was kidnapped when he was eight months, sorry, it was nine months when he was kidnapped. now he is 10 months. we're talking about one woman who was eight months pregnant and apparently gave birth while in custody. can you imagine having, giving birth in custody? larry: so. >> anyway so that is the situation. you're dealing with these kind of people. you can't expect mercy from these people. i mean they just -- larry: yes. >> released a video yesterday of a woman who -- larry: i don't know, time is always short, benny, but the point is, israel continues to

fight. they have a lot of momentum and this thing is still up in the air. it broke out 36 hours ago but it is still up in the air. qatar, a bunch of of cutthroat murdering terrorists, israel, joe biden is ahead of the curve. joe biden is -- i don't want to bring that in this segment -- >> just to add to that. larry: at this moment there's no deal? >> just to add to that. larry: got to go. real quick. >> part of hamas' object in this is to create a situation which israel will be pressured to have a cease-fire because they need that to replenish their forces. larry: right. >> so that's their negotiations stance. larry: benny, we appreciate it very, very much. we will touch base some more. coming up why did democrats blockade to israel last night? there is a tough question. we'll ask kansas senator roger

marshall. plus joe biden's politics of appeasement. kellyanne conway will tell us how that will play on the presidential election. i am kudlow. no deal just yet. no deal just yet. no deal just yet on this hostage. we'll be rightise back. ♪. all that planning has paid off. looks like you can make this work. we can make this work. and the feeling of confidence that comes from our advice? i can make this work. that seems to be universal. i can make this work. i can make this work. no wonder more than 9 out of 10 clients are likely to recommend us. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about. ameriprise financial.

♪. larry: all right, a simple question, why did democrats blockade to israel in a vote last night? joining me now kansas senator roger marshall. so, senator marshall, i know you fought hard for it. israel needs it. hamas is trying to kill them. why did democrats block this? what's going on here? >> well that's a great question, larry. i think number one we got to show them their true colors. we showed democrats true colors last night. we called their bluff for once. for over a month republicans have been calling for a vote on stand alone legislation for israel funding and the democrats saying oh, yes, we want to help

israel but they always wanted to leverage it for ukraine funding to make the border more open, to bring more people across the border but we found a way to seize control of the senate floor and demand this vote, and 51 democrats, every one of them voted against funding for israel. what's ironic 2:00 p.m. chuck schumer is on the national mall saying we will not rest until israel gets its aid but 6:00 p.m. he votes against that. you're a better political analyst than i am but i think their base is calling to support, not israel. that their base does not want to support israel. larry: right. >> instead they will support palestine. we finally got them to show their colors. larry: senator, i made the point last night. 300,000 jewish, rally was fabulous, fabulous and there was some bipartisanship but i saw senator schumer make his case and i knew darn well he was going to stop you, i knew it,

because they want to tie it to ukraine. i don't think, they're afraid to give up a couple of irs agents. i mean you know, the speaker's i.d. of a pay-for, mike johnson is not the worst thing in the world. they haven't really even started using those agents yet. there is that too, why not pay for some of this stuff for a change? >> right. certainly they had every alternative. i asked them on the floor if you don't like this pay-for find another one but give us a vote for the israel aid. time is of the essence. we need to send a message to iran and all the proxies enough is enough and america is not going to tolerate terrorism. we'll not tolerate brutal savage attacks by hamas on israelis or for that matter on anybody. this is a war for humankind. chuck schumer sent a message to iran and proxies there is no red line. larry: is there a new vet scheduled? what happens next?

israel needs the money. they need to replenish as you know, iron dome, ammunition, ordnance, whatever it takes, they could use $14 billion, next vote, senator? >> it will be months. joe biden is insisting tying it to a supplemental vote that funds ukraine, makes the border open as well. i'm telling you we're no closer today on that vote than we were a month ago. even within the democrat caucus they're divided on what to do with each on of these issues and what the senate does is dead on arrival in the house and vice versa as well. that's why we need the stand alone israel funding passed yesterday. larry: jon tester of montana voted with schumer too stop the israel funding? >> say that again, larry? larry: senator jon tester voted with the majority. >> yes. larry: i wanted to clarify that we had steve daines coming on talking about elections. i have want to clarify. last one, senator marshall,

thanks for this, can you get a resolution on the floor of the senate that says no money for iran? in other words we'll not give money to israel, how about not giving iran $10 billion of unfrozen assets, how about that? let's not give iran any money at all? >> just the opposite is happening. yesterday we found out that the biden administration is letting go another $10 billion of to iran. larry: yeah. >> we don't shop any of their ships. their ghost fleet is increasing. they're selling a billion dollars of oil every week to china. just the opposite happened under joe biden. you can't be pro-israel, pro-iran. you have to choose which team you're rooting for. joe biden says he is with israel. everything he does says he is for iran. larry: thank thank you, senator marshall, we appreciate it. thank you very much. all right, folks, let's continue the discussion with my dear friend kellyanne conway. i want to talk about the politics of appeasement which is a big deal. kellyanne former counselor to

president trump, ran the campaign in 2016, fox news contributor, author after very good book, "here's the deal." kellyanne, welcome back. i don't think this biden weakness is playing very well. i don't think appeasing iran, appeasing china, appeasing russia, you don't know, you tell me -- i'm reading reports. i know he is dead in the water on "bidenomics" but i don't think foreign policy is helping him at all, what do you think? >> larry, actually all the latest polling including the "qunnipiac poll" released today joe biden scores the worst on his handling of the border, 65% disapproval followed by his handling of foreign policy, 61 disapproval. so sure he has six in 10 americans saying they disapprove handling on the economy. that is baked in, we all know that but the foreign policy numbers are pretty perplexing for the following reason. the sales pitch so many independents and other people that voted for joe biden made as least we'll get back to somebody

who has experience on the world stage, who can broker deals across the aisle with like senators roger marshall on israel funding. turns out he doesn't have the relationships across the aisle. he is as partisan as anybody in washington and larry, for somebody in joe biden who was vice president for eight years, he was foreign relations, senate foreign relations committee chairman for number of years, in the swamp over half a decade you would think the one value that he would bring to the table is on foreign policy, and yet america is giving him his worst scores. larry all started with the chaotic and irrationalfulout of afghanistan. that is really when his honeymoon was over in late august of 2021. his numbers have been eroding ever since. in that same "qunnipiac poll" today, quinnepiac has trump beating biden first time all year. more importantly presidential politics in 2024 there is no confidence in joe biden's ability to handle all the crises and chaos. the white house we were in,

larry, crisis chaos in tweets. now everywhere you look. look south of the border look at ukraine, look at israel, look at iran. iran was dead in the water when they left the administration. they were begging to make deals. they are a huge oil exporter again, stockpiling billions in cash. what are they doing again, funding hamas. larry: i see "new york times" polls, sienna polls, lots of polls, kellyanne, think about this, the republican party under donald trump is party of the works class. doesn't matter whether you're white or non-white. working-class people want trump, that is what these data points are showing. you have all left-of-center columnists writing about that. so, kellyanne, here is my thought, these kinds of folks, people that you know, may not have a college education, right, they don't have a phd, they may work with their hands, they may slug it out every single day to make ends meet.

they barely afford, have a couple of jobs in the family, they want to see a president who stands up to xi, who stands up to iran, who stands up to putin, you know what i mean? not backs down, not ignores it, not namby-pamby. i think they want a tough hand in the white house? >> toughness and resoluteness is very important to voters, and larry, the opposite of strength obviously is weakness. so we go from strength, peace through strength through appeasment through weakness but you hit on something important. let's roll the tape backyards. in 2015 and 16 how did donald trump beat hillary clinton with majority of voters females. he took on the tough fights. we're sending our wealth and jobs overseas. he stood up to china. he recalculate greated trade deals with japan, korea, mexico and with china and he took

issues, larry, here is the key, no one else has the courage to do it, it seems, he took issues mired in single-digit polling, illegal immigration was 3, 5% in those polls, trade was not even asked on polls as most important issue. trade is issue of fairness, patriotism, fairness and workers around bringing back manufacturing base. when you bring all of that together, talk to people about things bothering them. larry: yeah. >> larry you were a big part of this. not everyone should be pushed to four year colleges to graduate with debt and no skill set. we were encouraging people to go ahead and get the skills certificates to be welders. larry: i get that. we'll do that another topic, another different time. i'm just saying, i, people may not be very sophisticated about all of this foreign international stuff but i think they just want an american president who is tough,. >> strong, strong, that is not e

right word. they're not sighing it. i have to get out. >> it is simple. larry: it is simple. you're dead right. >> they're seeing opposite. larry: peace and prosperity. >> saying opposite,. larry: peace through strength. >> you hear weakness, feeble all of that. strength. larry: namby-pamby. i coin that one. kellyanne conway best of the best. good so see you. i miss you as always. we'll move ahead, world is dangerous place, china included. we'll have to spend more on military. we'll have to have a strong leader in the white house and spend more on military. we can't let china eat other lunch around the world. my pal steve forbes will talk about it rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways.

but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. (♪) arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv? make it arexvy.

no weakness begets aggression and what they don't realize here today, they didn't realize in the '30s, the ayatollahs are revolutionaries. they're rick sighable. xi made clear his vision. china will rule the world or dominate the world. putin said in writing he wants to recreate the soviet empire, bring back the baltic states under his rule, go after poland. undermine u.s. and europe, whole post-world war ii structure ture that kept the world at peace for 735 years out the window. they make it clear. nothing to cone fuse here. they refuse to face reality. xi xinping is why is he meeting with biden? he knows biden will give him stuff. larry: piece of kang. biden doesn't ask the tough questions, why are you financing two wars against the united states by buying oil? he won't ask him that. he will never ask him that, isn't that the reality.
