you say, why can we have gas supplies so cheap here in appalachia and more expensive in new england andund the world? reason is, lack of sufficient infrastructure when you look at what pipelines been about 8 bcf a day canceled. these would connect the northeast with the biggest gas supply in the country and arguably the world, and we can give the $3.50 price to say people who are paying more prices than they need to right now. >> i take your point i understand the environmental concerns and the pushback, but right now i think people are seeing, because it's the winter, the change in the high coast of natural gas prices i wanted to ask you -- this is on the subject of oil and gasoline, but the president just said, in suppose to some of the inflation we're seeing, he wants to work like the devil to get prices down, work on supply chains and bring the costs down for the goods that come to america. what would be the most effective way of doing that right now? >> make it easier for the american gas producers to produce what we do, low-cost, cheap, reliable energy, in the most environmentally

and by trying also south of here is appalachia trying to reach an nuclear plant there they haven't been able to, but that's according to the military. that's where they're trying to head as we speak is the calculation to we think harder for the russian military. the cock eve is an easy target to go off to because it's almost as far east as you can go before you bump into the don bass region. well i think the calculation was also that car came is so close to the russian board is about 40 kilometers from the russian border. a lot of people who live there are ethnically russian. it is a country that had so as city rather than had showed support to russia in the past is a lot of commercial links between the 2 sizes. even family links between the 2 sides . and i think the russian were quite surprised to see that that city, regardless of all these legs, has actually put up a fight and is resisting that advance. ah, it's not by is it's by calculation that really, that they started, that they wanted to use caregivers. so some sort of a rear base and from there may be head south towards here, me

back to your calls, it is charles from appalachia, new virgin -- appalachia, virginia.aller: good morning. i have worked in the police enforcement -- please department for 20 years. i am retired now but i spent over five years studying the constitution, the writings of the founding fathers. one of the questions i asked is why is there this conflict continually between police and minorities. the best solution i can think of for ending the massive crime waves is actually to legalize drugs. it sounds counterproductive, but if you look at the lessons from prohibition, when they criminalized alcohol it created criminal classes. it enriched and empowered the mob and created mob violence and gang wars, specifically in chicago and major cities. if you look at those lessons, the same is true for our drug war. we have created the criminal class and there has been loss of life on both sides. the conflict is not one-sided -- it is not just the cops or the criminals. host: it was after your study after you retired and your research on the constitution that you came to this conclusio

rural america was being left behind, appalachia was definitely left behind.ings in the legislation, the infrastructure bill from abydos by partisan intersection to make sure we wouldn't give up and reset these areas with no coverage whatsoever are to be highest priority. i just want to make sure we are on track and you are all coordinating with the fcc to make sure as for the first assistance is going to go, the highest need in the country in areas with no coverage whatsoever. sec., i came more to light in this pandemic than any time before. i had kids who couldn't do their homework, they behind faster and further than any part of our country. we have basically are veterans who couldn't do telehealth, we have doctors who want getting reimbursed because they couldn't do telehealth, they were doing everything by normal landmines or self-service so we had to get a waiver for them to get reimbursed for telephone health if you will. it's been many problems we had. except 258,000 west virginians without broadband access we've had estimates as high as 900,000, 50% o

rural west virginia and appalachia was left behind. we were working on the bipartisan infrastructure bill to make sure we wouldn't get left behind. we said these areas that have no coverage whatsoever ought to be the highest priority. i just want to make sure that we're on track and that you're all coordinating it with the fcc is on track to make sure that's where the first assistance is going to go and the highest need that there is in the country is in the areas that have no coverage whatsoever. and secretary, it came more to light during basically this pandemic than any time before. i had kids that couldn't do their homework, they fell behind. rural america fell behind faster and further than any part of our country. we had basically our veterans who couldn't do telehealth. we had doctors who weren't getting reimbursed because they couldn't do telehealth, they were doing everything by normal land lines or cell service. so we had to get a waiver in order for them to get reimbursed for telephone health, if you will. so it's been a cad

we are reducing price hikes we are seeing them around the country and west virginia appalachia asking average customer in detroit, michigan can expect a 10-dollar a month rate hike for energy to improve the grade in electricity shortage when residents in southern california can expect to see a 6% to break hike. all of this comes as president biden shuts down the keystone xl pipeline into scrutinizing a conduit that connects michigan to canada and federal land for oil and gas and we have eyes on russia right now and invasion further further worsen an energy crisis in europe and now we can move forward to more rules coming from the epa that would send consumer prices higher. stuart: i cannot wait, thank you very much indeed. the attorney general of arizona really blasting president biden for sending troops to help ukraine, watch this. >> the president is willing to risk our sons and daughters to secure the ukrainian border and millions of drugs are flooding to the southern border. >> does he want the u.s. troops on the mexican border the attorney general is here next. nicorette knows, q
