i take this personally because i'm the republican leader of the senate nato republican group. i spend a lot of time with our allies and i believe the nato alliance is the most important treaty that's ever existed and it's why we have free democracies today in the western world. when he's talking about greenland, he's trying to say, folks, wake up. russia and china for the first time in history had joint military exercises in the arctic. many people may not know that, we do. china is flexing their muscles, russia is flexing their mulls, they will in -- muscles, they are in our space. they are saying -- he is saying check up against what we've already seen over the last year between china and russia. so, yeah, if he wants to use the language that he uses, he's communicating a very important point. we need to project power in the arctic in a way we haven't before. those are the crazy comments about canada and greenland. now let's go to mexico. mexico currently has right now an additional coequal branch of government. they call them the cartels. if you go to the southern border, yo

>> well, i always have appreciated senator rubio's commitment to nato. he had introduced the bill that we passed that said a president can't unilaterally get out of nato. but what i hope is that he's going to convince the president that it's worth defending ukraine, because if you allow putin to just get one fifth of ukraine, what message are you sending to gigi ping? and he should also tell president trump that if we talk about annexing greenland or using force for greenland, what message are we sending to putin and xi jinping? >> what did you make of senator rubio? because when he was talking about ukraine and russia and ending that war, and obviously you have said argued for supporting ukraine, that he was saying ukraine and russia both have to make concessions. i was listening to that and thinking, you know, trump has pledged to end this war on day one. now some people are saying, take him seriously, not literally on that, but what does that actually look like after monday? >> look, obviously, under the biden administration, the world is in the most

the russian special services forged the latter to an american senator in order to split the nato countries and strength and the influence of russia and china in the arctic. what did you make then? of the accusations of rest and meddling. i mean, i think it's just part of the same old song and dance that comes out of the westgate. you're getting samples. boston itself is always russian. and much there's always the blame for, for everything that you know goes wrong in, in the western world. there's a diversity dot arising. you see the non states really under this new administrators, but i think they're gonna push hard to try to regain some other settings. now that we've lost in the past few years, especially since the start of the get a special, an alternate operation in how you train that was really kicked off the the dollars asian processing. you have a lot of countries now on board with bricks. the process is moving forward and the trump is reacting to those jupiter and developments and yeah, i think it's going to be very interesting. 2025 percent of these. yeah, absolutely. at us, german

nato. ukraine and russia came up only because the senator asked him about it. it was not in his opening statement. his opening statement only referenced china in terms of threats. so what might that mean? coupled with donald trump's own positioning toward russia and ukraine about what americans would be doing and what sort of support we'd be content we would be continuing to give to ukraine. and then also the way that the military interacts with american citizens on american soil. we heard the interaction between senator hirono and hegseth on shooting protesters. senator slotkin, brand new senator, senator from michigan, just won in november. formerly, a congresswoman asked him about that as well and referenced the past. defense secretary mark esper, who served under donald trump, who refused to follow that order. let's listen. >> your predecessor in a trump administration, secretary esper, was asked and did use uniformed military to clear unarmed protesters. he was given the order to potentially shoot at them. helos flew low in washington, dc as crowd control.

nato as a very important body. and this is something that will go a long way to reassuring democrats within the senate committee. but there must be a lot of speculation about, whoa, mocker rubio is going to frame his approach to us foreign policy, whether he is going to take some independent views or independent, at least of donald trump, whether he will follow them predominantly. they the guidance if you like, of donald trump, do we have any indication from what he's been saying? how we might go as well. we have heard his public statements before this that he is very closely aligned with the policies of the president elect most. so then he was a number of years ago, he has become board a tune to the president, selects policy on china, for example, as well as on russia in which a rubio in the past was very much a barrel and tool on both of those countries. he's now open to the idea that to be present intellect has pro taps of possible dialogue with enemies rather than sanction as a 1st step in terms of dealing with them. so that is a movement in ruby as will view. it would appear towards that of donald trump. th

one was referred to by senator shaheen, legislation to send a clear message that nato and the u.s. picked up its -- participation in nato is not simply an executive priority that could come and go depending on the commander-in-chief, but also something so important that congress would say that membership of the united states in nato is something congress would want to weigh in on should there ever be a decision by an executive that we should back out nato. i think sending that message from congress has been a very important thing that has led to a nato that is expanding. finland and sweden, where the pulling would have been to minimus 10 years ago for joining nato are now in. i think a strong message from congress is part of that. obviously the fear of russia is a huge part of it, but a strong message of congressional support is part of it. i'm proud that the virginia national guard has now struck a deal under the state partnership program where we are partners with the military in finland, a very capable military. and the first exercises of the virginia guard with the finnish mili

on the global stage, the senate needs to get behind president trump pressuring nato, all the nato countries to pay their fair share. so more military handouts for -- those countries. it's time to get this war over with. the senate needs to support president trump and exert maximum pressure on iran and other terrorist organizations wrecking havoc on the middle east and we must shrink the federal government through strong congressional action. we will do this by working closely with the department of government efficiency, better known as doge. we need to cut the ridiculous regulations that are curbing american small businesses, finally we need to focus on accountability. we need who hold people accountablor the damage that has been -- accountable for the damage that has been done to ou we need to support the pardon of january 6 protesters who were horribly treated by our justice system. we need to fight for pro-life, pro-life protesters who were persecuted by the administration. we need to open investigations into the doa and civil rights divisionings, that starts with confirming kash patel
