now let's bring in white house reporter for the associated press, my friend, darlene suborville.ng up. president biden spent a great deal of time, 20% of the speech focused solely on the situation in ukraine. give us your sense as to what he said and how he used this moment as a rallying cry for democracies across the world. >> that's right, jonathan. he spent about the first 12 minutes of the state of the union talking about the situation in ukraine and trying to explain to the viewing public the reasons why the united states is so involved in rallying western nations to push back against vladimir putin and what he's trying to do in ukraine, and we also heard president talk a little bit about the fight that he sees going on in the world today between autocratic governments and democratic governments, and he sort of painted what's happening there as saying that putin needs to be checked. people -- leaders like putin need to be stopped because if they aren't stopped what he's trying to do to ukraine could very well spread beyond ukraine, and i think that's a message that people wh

host: to darlene in washington, republican line. darlene, go ahead. caller: morning.oping you could find some more information because i trust you guys. i watch news all day long. i am retired. different sources out there. here and everybody. yesterday after they got out of their cabinet meeting, this is what came on one of our television stations here. i had heard mentions that they were going to do something with iran. yesterday, they said in order to do that, which they are going to do, they will be under the nuclear treaty. even though iran is this close to a nuclear warhead. we know they will aim it towards israel. and they are paying $11 billion for four hostage prisoners. i was really hoping you could find some information and let us know if this is what our government is going to do. go to the evil monsters who hate us, let them do their nuclear thing, and pay them $11 billion for four hostages, which we said we would never duplicate thank you. host: to the caller from el paso, texas, democrats line. caller: i love my c-span. good morning, america. i think as

i think darlene, the world does. i think when we saw the preparations of president putin and the russian military on the borders of ukraine, we saw the power of the russian military. he saw the intentions of president putin and i do not think anyone anticipated the level of courage, bravery, capacity to fight back that we have seen in the country. at the same time we've also seen some miscalculations by president putin as wellin terms of that capacity and willingness. but also in terms of their own planning and logistics of their military. >> and lastly could you talk about the state of the covid money and of the bill yesterday and how confident as the white house you ultimately get that? >> absolutely. we need this money. so without additional resources from congress results are dire. just to give you some specifics in march testing capacity will decline this month in april pretesting for tens of millions of americans without health insurance will end in may america supply of monoclonal antibiotics will run out. so
