reiner braun, let's begin with you.ing now at a post -angela merkel germany at this moment in time with this escalation of militarism in -- towards russia in regards to ukraine. talk about the german peace movement and where it stands rit now and what this new government is about, which is in coalition with the greens. >> the german government has two parties which are probably into russian parties. the greens and the liberals. and both a trying to push against a more aggressive behavior to russia. this includes no to the pipelines, which include the stop of sending military equipment to create -- this needs more confrontation. in the german peace movement is campaigning for peaceful relations to russia, pretty negotiation come in for filling the obligation of the agreement. the agreement which first said we need a new constitution in ukraine which makes the country much more federal. we need negotiations between the two parts of ukraine. we need elections in ukraine. and then also a new border control. is the key point

braun. mr. braun: mr. president. the president pro tempore: could we've order, please. there's two minutes of debate. let's have order. mr. braun: i came here three years ago with a mission to rein in debt and deficits. i think a few of us actually care -- i think few of us actually care about that here, in my observation. if we did we wouldn't be passing our third short-term funding measure. in a few weeks we'll pass an omnibus bill we'll all say was bipartisan and we'll go on down the road. meanwhile, inflation will be surging ahead at 7%, 8%, highest since 1982. the last time we voted on a balanced budget amendment was in 2011. by the way, both democrats and republicans supported it back then. i'm proposing is very simple, very low threshold. it creates a point of order against any budget resolution that doesn't reach a balanced budget in ten years. that is so simple. everyone, including the president banging the gavel, ought to be for it for the sake of our kids and our grandkids. the president pro tempore: does anybody yield time in opposition? the senator yields b

now i turn it over to senator braun for his questions. senator braun: thank you, mr. chairman. i touched on it earlier that i feel a lot what have we're navigating through currently, addressing covid, it was a feisty foe, none of us knew much about it i know in my own company, which in discussing what we were going to do, when i touch base weekly, it was about treating it with respect. it was about doing those things that we all know now that the science is saying what did work and what didn't work. so often you get the political science involved in the discussion and it keeps us off the mark. i was going to ask about vaccine mandates. i led the charge in the senate with a congressional review act about why that didn't make sense. life is not fixed ever from the top down. it would be different if we were knocking it out of the park here at the federal level in my three years, i have so many people come here wanting more of it, heard some from the panel that we need to spend more money, but the reality check is we borrow almost 25% of everything that we spend here. that's up clo

one of the republicans to sign the letter joins me now, indiana senator mike braun.us. >> good to be here. >> martha: why did you feel compelled to write this letter? you feel there's any indication the attorney general won't allow this to proceed? >> i'll go back to several months ago when i interviewed merrick garland. are you going to pursue the rioters and arsonists in the summer of 2020 in the same enthusiasm of january 6? he said sure we will. trying to give me some type of stat in terms of how that was working. i hardly heard anything about that. he also sent out a letter accusing parents of being domestic terrorists when they were trying to stand up in school board meetings. he would be end to bend. and here special counsel durham reminds me if you're a dog lover of a basset hound. the trail has gotten hotter. there's three indictments. they're afraid of it. he needs to have full liberty to go forward with the investigation. >> martha: you know, what do you make of what was exposed in that file something because there are, as you say, in this round as well, a

joining us now, senate health, education and labor senator mike braun.tion to this? >> whenever you make statements like that in this day and age you probably ought to make sure number one you don't have people on your staff that will put you through that. i think you know, once the information came out, you know could have fired them to make a point of it. when you're sanctimonious like that, liz, and you're talking about it and you vane even had the dilligence to kind of make sure on your own staff you don't have people that will put you through that, i think that's what happens when you're out there kind of moral listic, you pay attention to the details and i think it is kind of almost emblematic of so many other ways that the biden administration has navigating through stuff. yes, in this case, i think there should have been more forceful in terms of getting rid of those individuals when you put so much out there you would do that if it actually event eighted. they didn't. elizabeth: got it, senator. reaction to this "wall street journal" report that

guest: senator mike braun of indiana said this. as far as troops are concerned, i've strongly opposed president biden's decision to send troops to eastern europe to defend countries that should defend themselves. two weeks ago, president biden killed an action that would have ended the pipeline. that is on the senate side, but what do you think of the sentiment? guest: i voted for sanctions on nord stream 2 because i do think it gives vladimir putin the ability for recursive measures. that said, the president has, pretty strong, saying that if there is an invasion, but are prudent can kiss nord stream 2 goodbye. the germans may not like that, but there have to be economic consequences. there are impacts on europe because of their dependence on russian energy needs. he saw the meeting earlier this week, trying to shore up natural gas supplies. host: joe in west plains, missouri, republican line. go ahead. caller: i don't think the russians or putin are going to do anything. they would have did it already. it is not a good military s

senator langford, braun and rubio highlighting the idea if you quote the bible will you be prosecuted. if that's allowed to be the case and the scenario in finland they're afraid it will go across the globe. there are things in the woke agenda that are not compatible with those teachings in the bible. the people that believe in the bible and the teachings of jesus christ want to express that without being prosecuted by their governments. this is why it's so important. >> harris: a critic would say how can finland have anything to do with america? what's going on in canada is having something to do with what's going on in america. we take a different look at what the f word freedom might mean to some people. your last quick thought. >> yeah. these people -- the basis of our nation, the first amendment, the ability to express yourself and be in the public square and do so with a freedom, that's under attack with this woke agenda. there is conflict and i think it is a discussion we'll continue to have for a long period of time but i hope freedom and freedom of expression wins. >> harris:

. >> so, they'll one kristol, senator mike braun joined in and said, let countries defend themselves.t time i checked, countries like romania were part of nato. what is behind this gop shift to -- >> well, romania is not part of nato, maybe we should have let it in. but we started the weekly standard in november september 1995. we urge clinton's invasion of bosnia in 1995 and actually attacked politicians like phil graham. and signed a letter to -- [inaudible] bosnian muslims. so i think it is not as unusual as maybe we have been saying. russia makes it a little different. but of course, we just had a republican president who is basically pro putin in many ways, for four years. and the one thing i would say is this. first of all, trump has not really weighed in in a big way on this in the last few days or weeks or months, i don't think. but what he says will be important and that will probably -- some republicans. some of them who are against supporting the president, president biden. but the main thing to be said is that everything changes if putin invades, whether it is a big one or

i saw senator mike braun put how a statement that he was opposed to president biden's decision to sendrn europe. senator lindsey graham was very much in favor of it. i know there's a bit of a divide on the right. in the foreign relations committee how unified is everybody on pushing back on russia? are there any handful of republicans arguing against it? >> my impression, chuck, there's only a few members of the republican caucus, let alone the foreign relations committee who are following what i'll call the tucker carlson line which is questioning why we should do anything to defend ukraine. why we should be deployed troops why nato is essential to our security. but the vast majority of americans i've heard from or spoken up in hearings, i just came from a several long hour hour with secretary blinken and secretary austin, i'm not hearing a lot of voices that are saying from the republican caucus we shouldn't be reinforcing our allies in europe. >> in fact, it's a weird divide. you have a small group saying one thing and then you have others who say we haven't been aggressive enough,

in a statement, republican senator mike braun of indiana said he strongly opposed biden's decision tos. forces to "defend countries that should defend themselves, potentially involving us in another conflict after potentially ending a 20 year war." officials the white house so that the suggestion insisting they have u.s. troops are not going into ukraine to fight and war. >> they are not fighting in ukraine, this is us, this is the united states abiding by our commitments under article five to support, reassure our partners in the region. >> that decision to deploy american troops follows a flurry of diplomacy that has at least so far failed to deliver any progress amid the crisis. this as new satellite imagery of multiple russian military deployments in belarus, crimea, and western russia appear to show increased levels of activity in readiness. critics wonder if the white house is truly committed to not evolving american troops in a hot war in ukraine, why move thousands of them around eastern europe closer to potential danger? in a statement, missouri senator josh hawley said "the
