thank you assistant secretary o'brien, and fellow nebraskan jim o'brien for being here with us today. the black sea is becoming a gravitational center for europe's future and is yet another important theater in the great power competition between russia, us, and the people's republic of china. putin's illegal war inn ukraine has put a spotlight on the region as part of the front lines in this battle against russia's aggression. putin would like nothing better than to turn the black bla russian lake and its airspace into a no-fly zone. encouragingly recent ukrainian attacks in crimea and on the port have put russia's volatile black sea fleet into retreat and its maritime dominance into question. so much so that it is now looking to separate his friends in abkhazia for a new naval base. georgia must be unequivocal in its rejection of this russian power-play into its sovereign territory. while russia continues to weaponized the world's food supply after the withdrawal from the black sea got your train -- ukraine is once again proven receipt. by turning the west lexington no go area for u

robert o'brien, when will we inflict some damage on iran?ss if these hostages are hurt that will happen. under president trump we had maximum pressure on iran and it kept them at bay. and you know, i never thought i would say larry we would look back on the carter years as the good ol' days but jimmy carter after seeing the russians in nicaragua and angola and mozambique, they finally went too far when they invaded afghanistan. carter said i was wrong about the russians e he changed policies, he was humble enough to change the american military that started under harold brown in the last year of the carter administration. we need the biden administration to have some humility. say we got it wrong. we tried to appease iran, we gave them a billion dollars, gave them sanctions relief and treated them well and they poked us in the eye. this is bit h bipartisan, non-partisan, we need to protect our country to be safe from these guys. larry: we appreciate it robert o'brien, thank you very much. take care. coming up on "kudlow," senator marsha blac

that is why i we must confirm james o'brien today. ambassador o'brien has an impressive -- had an impressionive hearing in the senate foreign relations committee. he presented a compelling vision for how he would lead the bureau of european and eurasian affairs. he laid out the importance of america's leadership on integrating ukraine as well as the south caucuses and western balkans into the transatlantic economic and political structures. he was reported favorably by the foreign relations committee by a bipartisan fois vote. ambassador o'brien brings a wealth experience to this position having most recently worked as the head of the office of sanctions coordinator. targeting among others the russian oligarchs that thrive on corruption. russian oligarchs whose corrupt networks are continuing to fuel the war in ukraine which in turn impacts global energy and food prices for just about every single person in the world. beyond his most recent post, ambassador o'brien's professional resume reads like building blocks for this position. ha
