to discuss this as you further or less, cross lived your radio host and political commentator, steve gill, steve, it's great to have you on the program today. now ukrainian officials continue to pressure international organizations to fulfill their requests, often accusing them of not doing enough. do you think that this kind of approach could ultimately prove counterproductive here? i think it already is, and you're already seeing this war of words intensify when you have tucker carlson, calling him a troll. and other leader is telling each other that i've been using the f word, this is not helpful. or it's as to be something that everybody should start seeking. yeah. and now when it comes to those prisoners of war there, i mean it's been a while since the as of fighters were captured and were subsequently targeted and account in attacks which he have in moscow blamed on each other. now he says that there can't be any more of a wait demanding and immediate red cross visit. why do you think that there have been such delays and is the red cross likely to act now because i was calling for i

let's go now to radio host in political commentator, steve gill, to discuss steve, it's great to have you on the program today. now, is it surprising to see such offers being sent to western media representatives? i think it's very surprising. you're seeing the ukranian propaganda being spread in western media for free. why do they have to start paying for it? at this point, this has been a bizarre conflict from the beginning rates where you may remember that as russian troops were, were massing at the very beginning. there were all the stories about the russian soldiers using tender and other social media sites to try and meet girls in ukraine . we have the stories of the ukranian fighter pilot, the ghost of shouting, shooting down that doesn't rushing biters. turn out to be focus. you had the soldiers that were taunting russian warships that supposedly were obliterated, turns out they surrendered. this thing has been a war of words, a war of internet and a war means from the beginning. and i think it's unfortunate that the media has been either play for dupes or apparently paper pla

the less cross live now do radio host and political commentator, steve gill, to discuss steve as good to see you. now the washington post has written about ukrainian is oper. oh, she who left the territories now under russia control who want to go back there. so how's the pricing is such an article, considering the common anti russian narrative in the western press? i think it's very surprising and maybe we're seeing just a bit of buying, but journalists, integrity, even the washington. or to report some of the truth. i mean that's been the real tragedy among many in this whole. ready war is that the western media, both european and american media and trying to blind dot as the story. and unfortunately, it seems all too often as if it's more important to follow a narrative than to actually talk about the story at hand to talk to the people there. but you know, what's interesting about this article is it says that ukraine is stopping people in zapper. oh, she from rejoining their families in russia controlled territories. so why do you think that the washington post specifically chose

we discussed the issue with radio host fan, political commentator, steve gill, who believes kiev shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth are seeing the war of words intensify when you have top officials, you know, telling folks to shut up using the f word. you know, they're being very aggressive in their language and that's not typically the best way to win friends and influence people. they are asking for help and they shouldn't be demanding help. they shouldn't be attacking those that are providing the help. and just in the last week we said the president bible softened his tone somewhat. we've seen some of the european leaders, including president mccrae of france. you know, start talking about getting to negotiation table and yet you've got. so let's refusing any talk and increasing the man on the us that on, on others lensky, ukrainian, seem to be continually looking a gift horse in the mouth attacking those you've been helping them. and again, when you're going ahead and kind of pre judging any investigation, any red cross or amnesty international investigation of how prisoners are

legitimate, because forced seems like you ruffled some feathers. radio hose, antlers of commentators, steve gill, cover is on with a must statement on the self determination process. should be controversial. i full the guy, most people he'd like to see peace in that region rather than continue conflict. the death to destruction that we're seeing. and i'm not necessarily a big fan of celebrities weighing in on topics way outside their life. whether they're athletes or celebrities, whether it's holly with movie stars, or entertainers or billionaires. but in this case, what must suggested doesn't seem as controversial as it's being responded to. i mean, after all, self determination shouldn't really be as time controversial as the hysteric response that we're getting from those in the west. and certainly, right, we've only had one side of the story being told essentially, and in u. s. and western media. and i'm really concerned as a media person myself, anytime we only hear one side of a story that we haven't seen, the humanitarian concerns about what was being done in the don bass regions by the,

probably let them in, but ukraine is unlikely to let them go. radio host on political commentators, steve gill, said western media usually not interested in the threats ukrainian forces posed to civilians. the western media has not really been interested in what's been going on . it's dangerous to civilians in the eastern ukraine region for the last 8 years since 2014, you had ukranian militia, terrorizing brutalizing and going in those areas. western media wasn't concerned about their lives. frankly, ukrainian government wasn't worried about their lives then. so maybe we're seeing some new attention about the safety and security of civilians in these areas. there's a saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day. so maybe we can buy the washington post credit for simply being a broken clock. i think that the broader narrative here is, is that why are the cranium blocking people from going into what ukraine says are our ukranian territory? it is a dangerous territory, but i think these people ought to have the capacity to decide for themselves whether they go back to their homes and. an

earlier we spoke to political commentator avenue radio, steve gill, who pondered the reasons why the washington post is concerned with musk, but not so much with some of the scandals. i find it interesting that a piece proposal trying to find a, a conciliatory end to the conflict and ukraine is so controversial. i think it's the mainstream media here in the u. s. and globally, we're really wanting to down play the effect of the law bust. they would ignore him, but whenever he sends out a tweet, whatever he make, some comments, they hyperventilate, they pay a lot of attention to what he said. they amplify what he says. and they're the ones, frankly, giving him more political influence than if they would just ignore it. i don't think there's any question again, the washington post has not been concerned with the biden family 100 by jo, by apparently we're getting a lot of money from china, from ukraine. they're not concerned about that, but they're concerned about the influence that you are boss who operates transparently in the business arena. may have more influence than they would l

let's go live now to radio simplicity, content commentators, steve gill c. thanks so much for joining us here on our see. see what motivated either must to post this recent proposals. you know, i think most people he'd like to see peace in that region rather than the continued conflict, the death, the destruction that we're seeing. and i'm not necessarily a big fan of celebrities weighing in on topics way outside their lives, whether they're athletes or celebrities, whether it's hollywood movie stars, or entertainers or billionaires. but in this case, what must suggested doesn't seem as controversial as it's being responded to. i mean, after all, self determination shouldn't really be as non controversial as the hysteric response that we're getting from those in the west. and certainly in right. they didn't, they via point i said, i mean, because and boss social media influence could his appeal be it may be perhaps trying to appeal to americans perhaps, to look at alternative situ. i'll turn into view of the situation. perhaps i don't know, look, maybe an ap

steve gill, says the western countries find it easy to shift blame on russia rather than accept flaws in their own policies. when you're seeing these claims, before there's any investigation before there are any facts to back it up it's, it's more of the hysteria, blame russia for everything that goes wrong, whether it's gas prices going up, whether it's inflation going up, whether it's a recession that is looming, or in place, it's all putin's fault because it's easier to blame somebody else rather than except your own misguided policies as, as the cause. there's no logic for, for russia, bombing, their own bridge, russia bombing their own pipeline. but again, in the sort of hysteria, operate propaganda war that ukraine is waging very successfully of u. s. media just counts anything they're told without a step to says many, even looking at logic or facts, they just reiterate it without any. any concern. and i think that's bad journalism regardless of, of how it's being played. you shouldn't trust what either side in a war is dishing out in terms of their propaganda. you should be ske

let's now go live to put in a commentator and a radio host, steve gill, his out in national c. thanks for joining us here. she says that there's been like this sort of cancel culture, this russian counsel cultural movement here. why did the germans so quick to blame russia just for anything that goes wrong, really? but i think they're following the lead of president biden. anything that goes wrong in u. s. domestic policy, whether it's gas prices going up, whether it's inflation going up, whether it's a recession that is looming or in place. it's all putin's fault because it's easier to blame somebody else rather than except your own misguided policies as, as the cause. i think your panel is pointed out very accurately that the double standard of what we're getting in the western media and, and from the ukranian, propagandist doesn't actually make sense. and there hasn't been any kind of concern over what was going on in the don bass region over the last 8 to 10 years when civilians were being killed when ukrainian forces are shelling, clear civilian areas and targets and causi

. >> >> steve: lily gill i know you do demographic polling probably going to impact the races in some. >> absolutely, we can't forget that back in 2020 the difference between biden and trump was 44,000 votes. that's not a lot. in three states georgia illinois and wisconsin that's why we run intelligence by segment. all the growth, the majority of growth in those key states are coming from black anspanic voters every 30 seconds a young latino is turning 18 years old when we are seeing now for example hispanic is less predictable than ever before. we saw it with the race in south texas when mayra flores flipped that seat and many more are set to narrow that margin, it's going to be critical. for example, in nevada, you know, we already have seen independent conservative pacs putting as much as $2 million in spanish language to try to, you know, take that space from cortez masto. it is important because shifting demographics shifting the makeup of constituents and we have growth regardless of party have to do the outreach and have relevant issues as lara said. it is the economy. it is cr
