well, we obviously don't know when mr putman wants to do or| know when mr putman wants to do or willr putin has said, that they will be pulling back troops, they will be de—escalating. this is what diplomacy is supposed to achieve. i would just caution that even if that does happen and we are able to verify this kind of de—escalation. it's important to remember that putin can always bring those troops back. they are not promising to remove all the forces that now so surround ukraine from all sides, that now so surround ukraine from allsides, north, eastand that now so surround ukraine from all sides, north, east and south. we have to be very careful about what we make of any potential action. if we make of any potential action. if we see 20,000 troops leave, it doesn't actually change the situation on the ground significantly. so it's nothing to celebrate quite yet. i remains to be seen. in of terms the west and its response and what i west and its response and what western governments could or should be doing, what would be the next step they are as far as you are concerned? i step

that is why we need to fight putman or they will accuse you of working for putin.nal conversation on the subject, we are honored to be joined by rational person, tulsi gabbard. thank you so much for coming on, congresswoman. it's hard to know what to believe always, and especially now, but let's stipulate, agree to agree, that it seems likely we could see some conflict between russia and ukraine soon. how should we view that? >> first of all, president biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with rus by doing something very simple. guaranteeing that ukraine will not become a member of nato. because if ukraine became a member of nato, that would put u.s. and nato troops right on the doorstep of russia, which, as putman has laid out, would undermine the national security interests. the reality is that it is highly, highly unlikely that ukraine will ever become a member of nato anyway. the question is, why do some president biden and nato leaders actually just say that and guarantee it? which begs the question of why are we in this position then? if the answer t

. >> but doesn't this work into putman's hands?ecause now i can say look, nato is a problem. >> obviously, there's little the west and ukraine can do about what vladimir putin says. we have to builds plomacy around russia's action and if russia has withdrawn troops from the border, then brings more troops into belarus, nato's -- would be unnecessary. let's notice where americans are putting those troops. romania on the black sea. we are focusing on land invasions, but let's not forget that after the annexation of crimea, the black sea is turning into the russian leg where the navigation is impeded and basically ukrainian ports are being blocked from exporting grain. that is a very important fact on the ground, how russia actually escalates and disturbs the european security architecture. >> early to today, boris johnson spoke to putin via telephone, it day after he visited kyiv and sat down with ukraine's president. european leaders are in a difficult balancing act when it comes to dealing with this crisis. >> absolutely. partially

vladimir putman putting forces on high alert.use foreign affairs committee congressman scott perry who broke down exactly what that means. >> so you need to be at a heightened state so maybe you spend your nights at home and come into morning to man the nuclear site. now, you are sleeping at the nuclear site in training associated with that and dry run iterations. there are forces certainly in the european command, central command that are washed very, very carefully because we have forces of rate and station in those and potentially a threat of conventional artillery from russia. >> carley: okay, joining from the military intelligence analyst and drone expert, brett, one hand you have peace talks going on right now. putin is talking about lightning military forces on high alert. where do things stand right now? >> well, i've got to say the last 24 hours was frankly one of the worst days for the russian military in ukraine so far appear they are still advancing clearly, but all you have to do is scroll through a few minutes on so

and there the famous par 3/17 look at andrew putman's tee shot the backspin sets them up inches from the cup. he birdied five straight holes finish the day tied atop the leaderboard back to space. have a day jordan. bernie is the par 3/17 he birdied four of his last five holes shot a nine under 63. the three-time major winner is just one back. six players are within one shot of the lead with putnam. tom hoagie and hustler type for 15 under. >> reporter: every time i come down here, it is a constant reminder as to how good these pros are. if you are an amateur in the field, i don't care if you are an elite athlete, top of the hollywood world, you've got some confidence. what you get between those ropes, reality sets in. >> it made me excited about going to work on my game because i have a lot to work on. was there playing a different game. we are not playing the same game. and you really see what golf is with these guys around here doing what they do. it is nice to be out here experiencing it close up and i try to stay out of the way. this is their office and we are just out are havin

latimer putman just signed a deal with china, a new gas supply deal, so you have to think what are therican power, particularly american economic power, particularly the power of the u.s. dollar on which everything else depends. a candidate for the comptroller of the state of california we are honored to have him join us today. thanks so much for coming on. are you -- i don't hear anyone talking about this, but i think it's worth being worried about it. are you worried about it? >> yeah, i am worried about it. look, the goal that china has is to use its currency to supplant the u.s. dollar as the world reserve currency, and they are able to do that essentially because in the united states, we've made a series of policy decisions that frankly erode the power of the dollar, erode our ability to have influence around the world, and i think that's the biggest challenge we face. you mentioned the road initiative. the way that essentially china gains influence us to go into countries to finance projects not with equity, but with debt. they essentially put countries in a debt trap and at some

putman has brought 100,000 troops in to the edge of the eastern part of ukraine.t is because he has moved elite russian troops from the far eastern parts of russia to borders very dangerously close to the border of poland. in belarus, to the border of ukraine and belarus. what happens in ukraine will not stop in ukraine. how this crisis plays out will affect other countries in the region, including our nato partners. emergent powers around the world are watching closely what the united states does. and i must make this final point to my colleagues. house and senate, we have yet to update our national defense appropriation bill. there is talk about another continuing resolution. numbers of the military leadership met with members of the senate just this morning. and talked about how inadequate a continuing resolution keeping the appropriations where they were a year ago, a year and half ago, instead of updating them as we know we have to do. how that is to our national security. i cannot think of a better signal that the house and senate could send then to resolve
