regardless of the reason my kind of out, sierra washington, chris lisa is the chief executive officer of macro advisory, a strategic consultancy focused on russia and eurasia. he says if europe stops importing russian oil finding replacements won't be easy. the think that's, you know, we're not hearing our politicians on perfecting on is that russian oil is different to the oil coming out of the gulf. it's a heavier oil. the reason the u. s. imports about 700000 barrels a day of russian crude is because it's needed for the refineries to go call us the refinery. see used to pro processor refined venezuela noise, which is similar to, to russian oil. then they had to switch to russian know when been weather with sanctions and rushes, no sanctions. then there really is nowhere else for them to get the oil. they cannot just import oil from the goals and replace russia because the refineries are not bills for that. it would, it would take a long time and would be very expensive to kind of re engineer the refineries to, to process life oil or different oil. in the meantime, you're going to h

lisa, it's chris here.what you describe as the government being far too slow in the last few days. but given what we now are hearing from the government in precise terms, how are you in a different place from what they are advocating, other than your critique about their slowness as you see it? so the first thing is we've got to drop the onerous visa requirements, because as well as being very, very difficult for people who are applying for family reunion, who are trying to come here through the family visa, who still have to upload a whole series of documents that often they don't have, proving family connection, proving their own identities and so on, it's more complicated when you get to the community sponsorship scheme, because they have to go through that process before they can even start the next stage of the process, which is being matched with a sponsor. but, lisa, right now, are you suggesting dropping all of the requirements, so people don't have to show anything, give any evidence apart from ver

lisa, it's chris here.the onerous visa requirements, because as well as being very, very difficult for people who are applying for family reunion, who are trying to come here through the family visa, who still have to upload a whole series of documents that often they don't have, proving family connection, proving their own identities and so on, it's more complicated when you get to the community sponsorship scheme, because they have to go through that process before they can even start the next stage of the process, which is being matched with a sponsor. but, lisa, right now, are you suggesting dropping anything, give any evidence apart from very basic security checks or identity checks? is that what you're saying? yeah, i mean, we've said we think that they should drop some of the bureaucracy, and people should be required to provide biometric data, which the armed forces have said they would stand ready and willing to help to try and process that very, very quickly. basic identity checks. we appreciate t

potential votes, lisa murkowski voted for confirmation, folks like mitt romney or bill cassidy who have crossed party lines on big votes in the past but a little bit more conservative. chris, i think while this is important to give this bipartisan character now in this final vote, it also provides a little bit of insurance for democrats. it's 2022, this gives just that tiniest bit of cushion on a 50-vote threshold, to have the one more vote that democrats need to get judge jackson across the finish line. >> thank you, garrett. >>> despite russia's claims of pulling back, we're going live inside ukraine with what's actually happen as russia's invasion now stretches into day 35. >>> and clint watts is here to break down what we're seeing in terms of troop movements. >>> plus, big news on the covid front here at home, after the fda signs off on another booster shot for people 50 and older. should you be rushing out to get it. it the magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. ♪ ♪ so it was a happy ending
