by tuning in every night. please set your dvr so you never ever miss an episode of hannity. for news anytime, foxnews.com, hannity.com. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled, ten seconds early, here's laura ready and raring to go. hi. >> laura: i have a question for you. . >> sean: oh, boy. >> laura: have you ever had a mustache? lying a magnum pi style mustache. >> sean: like tom selleck? no, i never did. >> laura: you never had a mustache? because i'm told by one of our great technical crew here that mustaches are back. >> sean: really? >> laura: i now talked to two people on our staff i didn't know had mustaches have mustaches and it's a new trend. >> sean: never had one, never had a desire to have one, of i'm a crow tor of habit i wear jeans sweatshirts and a tie one hour a day i can't wait to rip off after 20 seconds.

>> laura: don't tell us anymore after that. you never had a desire to have a mustache ever? >> sean: no, never. you want me to try it? make a bet? >> laura: yeah, i think you should grow a mustache for charity. >> sean: when you make a bet you can make that my payment to you. >> laura: okay. that's really good. >> sean: and i'll take the cash. >> laura: that's perfect. and maybe we'll show our crew's mustaches and compare. great show tonight i enjoyed watching it. see you later. i'm laura ingraham, this is ingraham angle from washington tonight we have breaking news from journalist chris rufo we're going to bring you in moments. and once again the left is seeking to use the department of justice to target those who speak out. this time against those who oppose radical gender surgeries. those details are just moments away. but first, unnatural disasters. that's the focus of tonight's angle. now, just when you think the regime media couldn't do more to shatter its own credibility, that's precisely what they do.

>> the cleanup efforts will continue, and so will those questions about the response. was it adequate enough? >> we heard what governor desantis said but we should note that, as you empathize maude i can't, that residents there are questioning why they weren't told to evacuate sooner. >> now governor desantis, michael, has been quite hands on when it comes to moving migrants across the country to prove a political point. should he be showing the same dedication towards saving lives ahead of a hurricane. >> what is your sense of, you know, when the evacuation orders went out? did that go out early enough? >> obviously about one time in ten when they warn you it happens. well, this is that one time and people did not really evacuate as they should have. >> laura: now, you could sense there, right, that acosta was debt set on squeezing out any criticism, no matter how tepid of desantis from that guest. well, none of it landed. the fact is, florida was hit by

a natural disaster. but florida will recover because its people have a competent governor, and thus they're hopeful about the future. no wonder cnn the likes of maggie haberman at the new york times are working overtime to cast desertions and so distrust. hurricane ian was deadly and horrid but hurricane ian as in cuomo and hurricane kathy as in hochul and that wide storm surge from hurricane gretchen in michigan and chicago's cat five hurricane lurie and the ever expanding hurricane jb as in press kerr. the catastrophic ruin they've hall left in their wakes will require years, not months, of cleanup. the results of their terrible policies, pro criminal and anti business, they can't be removed with a crane. it's going to take multiple defeats for them and their party at the ballot box.

but real reporters would be pounding these pathetic governors on their records and pressing them relentlessly on why, for instance, illinois, california and new york are losing so much of their population to states like florida, and tennessee, and texas. how are those winning records if you're losing your own people? of course, most of the reporters who play defense for these failed politicians live themselves in well-to-do urban neighborhoods. they're cocooned in by their own bubbles of comfort so they ins late themselves from the fallout of their on hero's policies that obviously regular working folks can't escape. yet they're rooting now against florida's governor in a time of crisis. it's just so lame and it's so sleazy. but a lot of these folks are used to lying with impunity. for weeks they've been pushing the false claim that biden is staging some 11th hour comeback just in time for the midterms.

but since august the angle has told you that this was untrue. but they're still trying to put lipstick on a donkey here. the new york times nate combs did his best makeup job saying the idea democrats can hold the house is not as ridiculous inplausible and farfetched as it did before the dobbs overturned row versus wade. it's a real possibility not in the sense that anything can happen. other pretend reporters at politico are trying a new line flying the idea that rural voters are demoralized and won't show up to vote. now, they hang this wishful thinking in politico on the slightly rural lower turnout in a few recent special elections. then they attribute this to the dobbs decision. and then they extrapolate to indicate that this could press voting patterns in november. this is ludicrous.

even neo fights know that midterm elections are historically referenda on the white house and the white house's performance. so it might be a good time to ask how is the white house doing right now? well biden approval's at 38%, and the gop is winning numerous generic ballots in a row now. monmouth polling has the president getting trounced on issues that matter most to the voters. only 3 in 10 americans approve of the job biden has done on the nation's top concern, inflation, 30%. as well as the other concerns that republicans are focused on, ie crime, a 32% approval on immigration, a pathetic 31% approval. so these are among the unnatural disasters that biden and the democrats have dropped on the american people caution immeasurable tragedy and damage along the way. and you bet the voters are noticing. so given the cyclone of bad

news, the regime media is trying desperately to find a rainbow. which means blame shifting away from biden and toward the fed. >> i really don't know what, you know, i don't, i don't know what powell is doing with raising interest rates. >> people think jay powell is asleep at the wheel. >> jay powell is driving the economy into a brick wall and it's become a liability at this point. >> laura: what exactly would any of them have powell do? i'm not a big fan of powell's but biden is the one who was downplaying the red lights flashing 18 months ago on inflation and depletely dismissing larry summers pumping owl billions in more covid recovery cash which super charged inflation. it was all so predictable. and now, well, inflation is devowing up the 5% wage increases that workers have, on average, seen. as food prices for the year that ended in august increased by a

staggering 13.5%. that is -- gas prices are climbing again we know that, opec is shrinking its output by a million barrels a day. and because biden has knee capped our own oil and gas industry, we're at opec's mercy. how wonderful. how sick is this? soon we're all going to be at six bucks a gallon for gas that they're already paying now in california. yay. other than that, how was the play, mrs. lincoln. now, once in a while, though, truth does slip in. some media outlets are now finally reporting on what we told you going back to, what was it? may 2020. when it was clear democrats were determined to keep their cities and states in covid lockdowns. >> power hungry governors are endangering their states futures and will eventually see their states left behind. now, it took the economist magazine 27 months to catch up

writing, by june 2022, on average trump counties had not only bounced back but had surpassed their pre pandemic employment and labor force participation rates. biden counties are not yet close to a full recovery. the cruel, costly, unnatural disasters we are now forced to endure courtesy of the democrats. they're really too numerous to count tonight. the cleanup is going to take wisdom, courage, and lots of hard work. it's going to take a new senate, a new house, and new leadership at all levels of government. it's time to choose practicing ma activityism country, freedom over fear and sound solutions over silly socialism. we're always going to have to deal with natural disasters. but no longer should we tolerate politicians who create unnatural ones. and that's the angle. >> joining us now is mollie

hemingway editor and chief at the federalist and fox news contributor and charlie hurt opinion editor and the washington times and fox news contributor >> mollie it's almost as if the media didn't live through the trump years. they didn't see the economic delight that most of us were able to live in because of sound policies. forget the personality. but the policies that worked. it's almost like they weren't there. >> i think they do remember the prosperity of those years but the problem is that our media, you know, we used to say that the media were the propaganda arm of the democrat party. it's probably more fair now to say that the democrat party is the political arm of our corporate media. they understand very well that there was stagnation during the obama era, that the trump presidency did have great economic heights, peace breaking out across the world, a border that was on its way to becoming secure.

all these issues. now we're back with biden, sort of like the obama term, third term. and so they know these things, but their job, they don't think, is to report accurately about what's happening either domestically or internationally. they think their job is to preserve political power for them and their allies. >> laura: and charlie, nbc is reporting tonight that biden told al sharpton, of all people, during a private convo at the white house last month, that he will, in fact, run in 2024. i'm going to do it again, biden said. charlie, should we expect a swift correction and walk back from the white house on this one or is this a way to, you know, leak out that, look, i'm not a lame duck yet? >> yeah. i think he's doing all he can to sort of keep the rats on the ship, and so i would not expect that to be coming anytime soon. it really is interesting to sort of listen to these democrats running across the country, a couple things they don't talk

about, the number one thing -- obviously they don't talk about all these things as you point out and mollie points out that trump did very well, whether it was securing the border in the immediate problem, obviously didn't fix the long-term problem but at least stop the flow. they don't talk about the economy. they don't talk about joe biden. and it's really interesting, if you listen to all of these candidates running, democrats running across the country, they've been in power for two years. they don't ever talk about any accomplishments from the past two years. even this crazy student loan thing that joe biden is trying to pull off. they don't even talk about that. what do they talk about? the best thing they have going for them is abortion. democrats are almost as popular as abortion. what a terrible, terrible way to try to run a campaign. but that's why they talk about things like global warming and they talk about racism, because they're desperate to come up with any kind of distraction to keep from talking about their

record and their accomplishments because there aren't any, and their record is places like philadelphia and chicago, which are nothing but pure misery. >> laura: yeah, the party of fdr and jfk now has abortion. that's what they're offering the country. abortion. mollie, back to their efforts, though, to swamp desantis, politico writes, desantis has been a persistent critic of president joe biden on nearly every policy front as he moves toward a likely 2024 presidential bid but the florida republican likes one thing about the president. his wallet. mollie, talking about the hurricane relief and pointing out that desantis wasn't for the hurricane sandy funding and so they were kind of throwing that at him. but taxpayer funds are now biden's wallet? that's what politico says? >> they're referring to your money and our money and federal taxpayer dollars and they're redefining it as president

biden's wallet. this is another one of these unique propaganda tricks that they use only during democratic presidential terms. you never saw them say, when andrew cuomo or gavin newsome were overseeing horrific devastation during the covid pandemic and their really bad responses to it, a you never actually saw them being honest about how bad their responses were but you also never heard anybody say, oh, these people want federal funds while they're criticizing trump, they want the money even though it's trump's wallet. this is just a term they use as part of their efforts to try to katrina ron desantis. and the same as it was unfair during the bush administration when they blamed president bush for local and state policy failures they're trying to do this here. the big problem is florida doesn't have these policy failures. floridians are very happy with the leadership they have in their state and so it's going to be very difficult for them to do what they're clearly trying to

do here. >> laura: yeah, like i said on the angle, this just isn't landing. you get the feeling, charlie, that they keep trying to do this but they just keep stumbling along the way and meanwhile they're trying to clean up on aisle six what kamala harris said about doling out hurricane money according to equity. did that, would, their cleanup effort, charlie? >> well, no, i think it's completely transparent and people see right through it and when you have democrats trying to politicize a natural disaster like this, whether it's by trying to justify their crazy power scam that they want global warming to provide them, or in their effort to try to trash their political opponents, using a tragedy like this, it's pretty disgusting. and everybody sees through it. democrats see through it. independents see through it. and so i don't think it works. all they're doing is further, doing further damage to themselves and demonstrating just how fundamentally unserious

they are about anything, either, you know, big issues or something very simple like, you know, trying to respond in a human way to a natural disaster. they're not even capable of that. >> laura: meanwhile they're getting killed on the gallop poll on the issues people care about the most which is the economy. mollie charlie great to see you both thank you >> first the doj targeted conservative parents now they could be coming for any journalists who actually expose the twisted support they're now building for mutilating children. tonight, the american medical association and two other groups sent a letter to ag merrick garland demanding that the justice department open an investigation into the threats to hospitals providing this so-called gender affirming care to minors. now the letter says in part, the attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation where a few high profile users on social media

share false and misleading information. they also called on big tech to censor those users spreading so-called disinformation. what they leave out is the tiny little detail that the hospitals they say are under threat are publicly posting these. >> for any kind of top surgery, we do require one letter of persistent, well-documented gender dysphoria by a licensed mental health provider. we ensure that the patient is capable of making fully informed decisions on their own. >> gender affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies. some will also include the removal of the ovaries. >> a falic plasty is basically to create a penis. >> laura: joining me now is chris rufo senior fellow at the manhattan institute. chris they're threatening and defaming people like you, they didn't use your name, but this

is really now soviet style operation here with what they're doing with just a debate about a very controversial subject. >> that's right. and, i mean, here are the basic facts. we know from the medical literature that doctors in the united states are performing double mast he can domes and pinhe can domes and creating an artificial va gina for minors under the age of 18 and simply by pointing this out there's a furious reaction. they're trying to mobilize the fbi and department of justice and mobile ice the entire federal law enforcement apparatus to sensor journalists deplatform journalists and they say specifically investigate and from journalists. this is a reckless move designed to criminal ice decent and protect these really awful and horrific radical surgeries and

experiments they're performing on minors. >> laura: i believe the individual who came up with the frontal la bot my surgery didn't that person win the nobel prize for medicine, wasn't that 1947? i think that's right. you get the feeling this is going to be the new frontal la bot my at some point the way this is going. but the idea that they should be able to proceed without any criticism, without any examination of their tactics and their conclusions is just ludicrous on every level. and it's up to every journalist, i don't know care what your perspective is, to stand up for inquiry and frankly aggressive inquiry when it comes to children's permanent surgery that will change their lives forever. children. >> that's right. and i'd like to deliver a message directly to attorney general merrick garland. you can intimidate us and threaten us. you can mobile ice the fbi

against us. you can even drag us out of our homes in a predawn raid. we are not going to stop reporting on radical gender in schools and surgeries on minors. we are not going to stop until we've taken this radical ideology out have our institutions. there's nothing you can do to stop us, the people of this country are coming and won't stop until you're finished. >> laura: i think a lot of the new immigrants coming into this country, legal immigrants don't want this. this is not what they came to the united states for. thank you >> dr. mehmet oz has all the momentum now in the pennsylvania senate race as polling that once had him down to double digits is now within two. he's here to explain. and why is starbucks coming after washington senate candidate tiffany smiley? she's going to tell us in moments.

>> new polling from pennsylvania shows democrat senate candidate john fetterman with a whooping 13 point lead over his opponent tv dr. and crew ta enthuse i can'ts mehmet oz. >> john fetterman polling over mehmet oz. >> can mehmet oz beats john fetterman in pennsylvania? sgloongs about you now once trailing supposedly by 13 dr. mehmet oz has cut his opponent's

john fetterman's lead to two points. it isn't just john fetterman's health driving this surge, his campaign is pretty much about nothing. here's a dispatch from his latest rally. he talked about sandwiches, salads, fresh fries on salads, more salads. he said oz wanted to ban abortion without exception and reduce crime while mayor of the borough of braddock and left the stage. one alleghany democrat frustrated with the lack of my meat on the bones of that campaign said he wouldn't vote for oz but i also won't vote for fetterman. i'll just leave that blank. there's no there there. okay, those are fetterman's supporters saying that. joining us now is dr. mehmet oz. dr. oz, good to see you tonight. in your mind and obviously you're out there every day campaigning all over the state. what is most responsible for this turnaround in the support for you and people fleeing his campaign? >> i'm showing up.

voters want to know that you care, and the way you express that is by listening to what they're saying, which is what you do as a doctor as well, and then addressing their kitchen table concerns. while fetterman's talking about the topics you just mentioned and lots of other issues that have nothing to do with the crisis in pennsylvania, i'm talking about crime, the highest homicide rate ever in the city of philadelphia, i'm talking about drugs fentanyl in particular and the open border causing it to kill folks in pennsylvania more than ever before, top five in the country with fentanyl deaths. talking about the 40 year high of inflation and tax rates that are through the roof advocated by not just fetterman as a candidate for the senate but also as lieutenant governor he was pushing for almost a 50% tax increase while not paying his own 67 times. i'll tell you what else is happening, republicans are coming home. they're realizing that all the garbage they were being fed by legacy media is untrue and viewers of your show are good examples supporting me at

dr. oz.com more aggressively than ever before and that's keeping up with what fetterman has been getting all along in california and new york everywhere but pennsylvania and just won a senate seat they don't know how dangerous he is. thank you to everyone who supported me at dr. oz.com and allows me to tell the truth about fetterman more than he lies about you. >> laura: dr. oz i know you were recently with black pastors in philadelphia, i understand. which is so important. because republicans, they've been intimidated from urban areas. they don't campaign in urban areas, huge mistake. what did you discover when you campaigned there? >> folks in the city of philadelphia are furious that, as they put it, they're part of a social experiment conducted by white woke people who don't stick around for the consequences. these pastors pointed out a few realities that were shocking to me. one, if you legalize drugs which is what my opponent fetterman is advocating for you will drive up homicide rates and drug overdose

death rates. in fact that's what happened with the oregon 2020 law. they decriminalized drugs and not only overdose deaths bus whom size went up because you have lawlessness. they pointed out something that stunned me, they said you can go around the corner from my church and buy fentanyl it's easy and affordable, we can't find baby formula anywhere. we have abandoned our cities. these people have real needs, we can address them, we have solutions, republicans are the party of ideas, let's use these ideas to address these. these folks not just inner city black population but many other ethnic groups and groups underserved in america want to be republicans. they share our family values and we should. >> laura: engage them. >> reflect back, engage them absolutely. it works. >> laura: engage them. dr. oz thank you for coming on tonight it's great to see you >> now to, wa ton state where republican tiffany smiley is trying to unseat democrat incumbent dinosaur patty murray been there nearly three decades. democrats must be getting nervous because now a trio of

seattle institutions, starbucks, the seahawks and seattle times are coming after tiffany. let's start with the seahawks. in smiley's game day ad her husband who was blinded beside suicide bombing while serving the country in iraq makes a 2-second long cameo wearing a seahawks jersey. apparently that's a crime. the seahawks were so upset they told the smiley campaign, it must immediately sees its unauthorized use of the logo. i kid you not t campaign compiled and put up the exact same ad but took -- complied with that and took out the logo. joining me now is tiffany smiley. the most galling part of all of this is that the seahawks, i understand, gave your husband that jersey. is that correct? >> that is true. he was the 12th man flag razor and, you know, a whole stadium full of fans cheered for him and

were honored to have him be a part of that. it's really unfortunate. you know, laura, i don't think it's any coincidence that the seahawks, starbucks, and seattle times had this coordinated attack against me, because i'm talking about issues that are actually affecting washington families. sky rocketing inflation. crime through the roof. i spent last week at a homeless encampment in seattle, i cleaned up dirty needles. i talked with the residents and you know what they told me? they said everything changed. these are people addicted to drugs every day that we just allow to live on the street. they said everything changed when fentanyl cam on our streets and they asked me what can you do about it tiffany? and i was clear. there is something we can do about it. you know, laura, i wouldn't even be surprised if patty murray worked with these woke corporations to try to bring my ads down, because they tell the truth about her failed policies. >> laura: they're petrified.

>> yes, at smiley for washington, we can win this race, we will win this race. patty murray, a 30 year incumbent, i was 11 when she was first elected. she is not addressing any of these issues that are facing washington families every day. we are and we have a vision. >> laura: i want to point out that the seahawks timing is pretty interesting considering this past saturday democrat washington state rep candidate tara simmons posted this on her official campaign facebook page. yeah. tiffany, this post looks a lot more like an endorsement than your husband watching the game in a jersey, wouldn't you say that? >> well, look, we need to elect leaders who will solve the issues. and just stick to football. you know, stick to football and let that entertain the great people of washington state. and let's start electing people who actually get work done. you know, the homeless encampment that i was at was actually very, very close to the seahawks stadium. it broke my heart, laura, to see

the pain, to see the heart break, to see what we allow in our beautiful state. these people need help. and i will help them. i will make sure also that senator murray, we stop her in her tracks by winning this november and we stop the 87,000, stadium full of irs agents from coming after hard-working washington families. there is so much at steak in this election. we are winning the messaging war. we have a vision, we have hope, we have solutions to the problems that washington families are affecting. >> laura: you're a threat to them. tiffany you're a threat to them in so many ways we can't even count them tonight on the show. suffice it to say when the three big ones come after you in a 5-day span you're doing something right. i'm very excited about this i say ra. i think we had you on first on fox and we're going to keep following this very closely. tiffany smiley thank you very much >> a big studio gay rom com dies at the post office and he blaze

homophobia. plus in our lives, raymond arroyo brits, seen and unseen is next.

>> laura: time for seen and unseen where we reveal the stories behind the headlines and for that we turn to fox news contributor and author of the wise men who found christmas raymond arroyo. all right, raymond, tell us about this movie called bros which was billed as as the first major studio game rom-com. it flopped, i guess, at the box office? how could that be? >> oh, did it flop. this movie bros cost upwards of $60 million to make and promote. it came at a distant number four in the weekend box office barely making $4.8 million over the weekend. the writer and lead actor billy ikener has been selling it hard for months. >> it opened september 30th, a great new comedy, he made bridesmaids knocked up it's hilarious.

>> where can i see it. >> in movie theaters. >> bros. >> yes. >> through the obama years it felt like we were evolving and we were but underneath the surface things were not evolving. there was so much homophobe i can't, case in point bros is the first gay rom-com made by social media. >> it could well be the last. today he tried to explain away it, he tweeted straight people especially in serb parts of the country just didn't show up for bros. anyone who isn't a homophobe weirdo should go see bros tonight. how do homophobes control gay movie going. i didn't realize that he had that control of gay people from going to movies. maybe people just didn't like the movie. bros had explicit sex scenes r rating so so reviews and billy ike neris not a likeable

personality laura. >> laura: yeah. it's an interesting tact to take to insult probably half the country in your push, aggressive push to sell your film. that's kind of an interesting take on it. but that's kind of what he does. >> i just think perhaps they took the wrong lesson from the success of top gun. only that was a movie gay people showed up for. my favorite was the new york times attempt to clean up this bros bomb the times admitted ikener can be polar sizes as a comic personality and of course home foam i can't cannot be ruled out but romantic come dis have struggled in the box office in recent years. i don't know what the box office is talking about. sandra bullock just released a rom-com the lost city and made $30 million its first weekend. i think i'm starting to understand why billy ikener is

so mean though. earlier you asked me what day was it? october 3rd, mean girls. check the reference. >> laura: as long as you're invoking mean girls, mayor latoya cantrell has controversy after splurging on luxury to france a community group is now charging her with staying rent free, of course, in a city-owned apartment. is she a squatter? what? >> well, she's kind of an official squatter. and it's not just any apartment, an exclusive apartment right on jackson square. the community group found that she paid no rent from september of 2021 through july of this year. she's been there for nine months, according to this group. the problem is, there's a city employee policy that states clearly the use of city property is for work-related purposes and not personal benefit. now, the fox affiliate in new orleans wvue did an investigation and found mayor

occupying this city-owned apartment for nearly 26 days. laura. there's a set aside for like, you know, visiting dignitaries or parties. it's not supposed to be an extra, you know, bachelorette pad for the mayor. >> laura: i mean, all politicians can kind of move toward the free loader status after being there for long enough. everyone becomes a free loader eventually. this is the ultimate free loader, latoya cantrell. this woman is a menace. >> when you're the murder capitol of the country, you just blew $30,000 on a trip to france and you owe now $3,000 a month rent and there's a recall underway, it's best not to squat in the city's property. by the way, they've already collected 10,000 signatures, 20% of the signatures they need for that recall effort. so things are not looking good for the mayor. >> laura: no. >> finally laura tesla just unveiled a new human oid robot.

why am i getting vibes on this thing i don't like the look of this at all. what most people don't know is these robots may already be in use as public announcers and talk show guests. >> i'm not going to say i told you so. >> but. >> but -- [laughter]. >> i'm not going to say i told you so but. >> if only we could reprogram those robots laura but what can you do? you do your best. i wish we could have seen that robot. >> laura: we didn't see it but we saw the clip of it earlier and it was creepy. there it is. can't really see it. looks like an insect. >> elon musk said i'll be -- this will fundamentally transform civilization. >> laura: lovely. >> this scares the daylights out of me laura. love and care is something no robot can do. we need to teach people to do things and serve each other forget the robot. >> laura: robot get over here and get me a cup of coffee. thank you >> speaking of elon musk the

billionaire's under fire for merely suggesting a peace deal in ukraine. so why exaggerated affects of covid institute lockdowns now downplaying the threat of nuclear war? that question's next.

really serious. we are getting closer and closer to an outright war between the united states and russia, are we not? >> yeah. i mean, we're coming up this late october laura to the 60th anniversary of the cue man missile crisis. we haven't heard talk like what's going on today for 60 years. i mean, we've got a nuclear pornography where putin every week talks about it, and we have a general, general petraeus on national tv publicly war gaming what would happen if he set off a tactical nuclear weapon we would destroy all russian forces united states ukraine and sink the black fleet. what would be the expectation he would do. then we have joe biden and president zelenskyy saying we're going to humiliate him he has to leave office. okay, i don't like him. none of us like him, but he says he's not going to do that and he has nuclear weapons. he has maybe 6500, 7000 of them. so nobody is talking about how to step back. they're lowering the bar.

meanwhile iran is talking about maybe it has a bomb and we saw 5,000 japanese going into shelters as this global nuclear bar goes lower and lower. there's all these agenda, the european aend today the european agenda the ukrainian aend today and russian agenda and they're all mutually exclusive if your position is there's nothing going to happen except we're getting every single russian out of the border land and vladimir putin won't retaliate. that would be good but that's not going to happen. europeans are going to be pre civilizational, they're going to be cold, they won't have energy, joe biden doesn't produce energy enough to liquefy natural gas to sport. i don't know what they're going to do. he's camming our strategic petroleum reserve. we don't even talk, he's capping our strategic weapons reserve
