00:00:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:07.000I've watched a couple clips here and there.
00:01:09.000But someone who made headlines is someone who, let's say, interjected at one point of the speech, Congresswoman Lauren Bobert, who speaks at a lot of our Turning Point USA events and is from Colorado.
00:01:52.000Listen, Charlie, we all saw what took place in Afghanistan, that horrible, botched withdrawal.
00:01:58.000A lot of people are upset at me on the left for interrupting a speech, but I think that there are 13 families whose lives are far more interrupted right now because of Joe Biden's failures.
00:02:14.000We heard a lot of promises last night for increased taxes and spending, but Joe Biden said nothing about how he was going to fix the crises he created.
00:02:23.000Biden was trying to earn political points by talking about troops that were being buried in flag-draped coffins.
00:02:32.000My mind went straight to the 13 soldiers that died in Afghanistan under Joe Biden's watch.
00:02:40.000The mother of one of those soldiers lives in my district, and she told me that Joe Biden killed her son.
00:02:46.000Last night, Biden invited a big tech CEO to the State of the Union, but couldn't be bothered to recognize any of the families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan.
00:02:56.000Biden took no responsibility for his failures last night in Afghanistan, but he also took no responsibility for the other crisis that we're seeing with the border, inflation, transportation, and even the rising of crime in our cities.
00:03:10.000Joe Biden and the Democrats tried to act like they weren't the party that defunded and defamed the police for the past two years.
00:03:20.000The gaslighting is ridiculous, and Americans aren't falling for it.
00:03:23.000Yeah, and so his approval ratings are at record lows.
00:03:26.000Even in Colorado, Joe Biden's numbers are underwater.
00:03:30.000Talk about more about just kind of the general lack of addressing, trying to bring the country together.
00:03:37.000This seemed like a radical left-wing speech in more ways than one to just kind of dive more into that.
00:03:44.000The missing components of this speech were so evident.
00:03:47.000Whether it be Biden's war on energy, he didn't, there's almost no accomplishments mentioned at all.
00:03:56.000There aren't any accomplishments mentioned because there aren't any to discuss.
00:04:00.000We've been under one-party Democrat rule at a national level now for the past year, and there's no policy that we can point to that's actually helping American families right now.
00:04:11.000And I certainly wasn't assured of anything more that Joe Biden will continue to try to do except for raise taxes, increase government spending, fuel the flames of inflation, and deflect on the issues that Americans really are concerned about, like the border crisis, transportation crime, just to name a few.
00:04:30.000But, you know, if I were to give Joe Biden my own rating, I'd certainly give him an F.
00:04:35.000But his failures happened before Russia, before Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:04:41.000It really started by killing American energy, making us even more dependent on Russian oil.
00:04:53.000And I don't think that sanctions will convince Putin that Joe is really a threat.
00:05:00.000We have the southern border that is absolutely wide open.
00:05:03.000He canceled construction of the border wall on day one, but American citizens are still paying $5 million a day in government contracts for a wall that is not being built.
00:05:14.000And this is just more weakness that our enemies have been noticing for the past year.
00:05:20.000So there's certainly a lot of things that he should have been talking about.
00:05:24.000One thing I did notice, Charlie, is President Biden never said build back better.
00:05:28.000That was his entire agenda, and it was rejected by the American people.
00:05:34.000Biden's poll numbers reflect what the American people are seeing.
00:05:39.000And they see that he is incapable of improving the country.
00:05:44.000So he reverted to what all Democrats revert to, tax and spend policies.
00:05:49.000Yeah, he said building a better America, whatever that means.
00:05:53.000And so I think you wore a drill baby drill shirt as well yesterday.
00:05:57.000And a lot of the State of the Union is theater.
00:06:00.000So now I got to ask you, Congresswoman, because we've been receiving a lot of emails and some of our listeners are divided.
00:06:05.000I think you could probably see part of why they're divided because we really went after Nancy Pelosi when she tore the speech.
00:06:11.000We said, have some respect for the president.
00:06:13.000What do you have to say for people that say, hey, look, I'm with you, Congresswoman, but maybe you shouldn't interrupt a president of the State of the Union.
00:06:37.000And look, I would love to have a conversation in a better setting with him.
00:06:40.000I would love to be able to talk to him.
00:06:42.000And maybe I'll get the chance to do that when Republicans are in the majority in 2023.
00:06:49.000And we can actually put forward my articles of impeachment for Joe Biden and have a real conversation.
00:06:54.000And as far as the drill baby drill goes, look, Joe Biden, he waged a war on American energy and left us in a very dangerous place.
00:07:03.000We rely on Russian energy importing nearly 600,000 barrels of energy per day when we should be energy independent and certainly energy dominant.
00:07:13.000We should be able to export energy to our allies, which is literally exporting freedom.
00:07:19.000And so I wore drill baby drill on my shaw to remind the Democrats of exactly what we should be doing and how we should stop funding Russia's war.
00:07:28.000Yeah, and that's a lot of the State of the Union is kind of like making alternative points.
00:07:59.000So, in Colorado's redistricting, we actually picked up a seat in Colorado that we're hopeful that we will be able to win, that Republicans will be able to win.
00:08:06.000And in my district, I went from Republicans leading by a six-point advantage to now a nine-point advantage.
00:08:12.000So, we have a couple of liberal Republicans.
00:08:16.000I think the R behind their name stands for rollover, who are trying to challenge me.
00:08:20.000But we have a caucus and assembly process in Colorado that I value dearly, and they're trying to buy their way onto the ballot.
00:08:26.000I don't think that they'll be successful, but I'm looking forward to continuing to serve the people of Colorado's third district.
00:08:33.000It truly has been the honor of my life.
00:08:35.000We've worked on over 650 constituent cases, returned hundreds of thousands of dollars back to the district to people who were owed that money from the government, but bureaucrats were getting in the way.
00:08:46.000And then, of course, just all the travel through my district, which is nearly half the state of Colorado, meeting with people, listening to them, hearing from them, and coming up with solutions has been just an honor and a joy to do.
00:10:54.000Tonight, I'm announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights further Iceland in Russia and adding additional sprees on their economy.
00:11:07.000Yeah, I don't know how big of a issue it is to tell Russian flights they can't fly over Sacramento or fly over Alaska.
00:12:10.000Fourth, we'll continue vaccinating the world.
00:12:13.000We've sent 475 million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any nation on earth.
00:12:22.000We won't stop because you can't build a wall high enough to keep out a vaccine.
00:12:32.000The vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases.
00:12:37.000Not really sure where that one came from.
00:12:39.000Recent study, according to Dr. Robert Malone, summary data from Great Britain, reveals that nine out of 10 people dying of COVID are vaccinated.
00:12:48.000Dr. Malone says, quote, the notion that the vaccines protect against severe disease and death is failing.
00:12:54.000But Joe Biden says you can't build a wall high enough to keep out the vaccine.
00:13:05.000If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.
00:13:12.000I've ordered more pills than anyone in the world has.
00:13:16.000Pfizer is working overtime to get us a million pills this month.
00:13:21.000So, of course, never did they want to talk about ivermectin or azithromycin or any of these other potential treatments, but now they want the Pfizer pill.
00:13:30.000Biden continued by saying in Cut 65, he has the back of young transgender Americans, not mentioning the fact that women and female sports are soon to be completely and totally obliterated, like at the University of Pennsylvania.
00:13:44.000Play Cut 65 for our LGBTQ plus Americans.
00:13:50.000Let's finally get the Bipartisan Equality Act to my desk.
00:13:55.000The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families.
00:14:03.000And I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I'll always have your back as your president so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.
00:14:13.000He's, of course, talking about chemical castration bills in states like Arkansas and others that allow 12, 13, and 14-year-olds to permanently alter their biological makeup with the potential help of state and taxpayer funding in irreversible ways.
00:14:30.000Joe Biden says he created over 6.5 million jobs.
00:14:33.000Locking down the economy and then, let's say, slowly reopening it is not creating new jobs, it's refilling jobs that previously existed.
00:18:16.000When he has meetings now with foreign leaders, they're not allowed within 40 feet of him, such as his paranoia about coronavirus.
00:18:24.000And to invade Ukraine, which clearly does not want to be part of Russia, horrible memories of what the Soviet Union did there for year after year.
00:18:34.000He's united the world against him in the most incredible way.
00:18:38.000The British, even the Germans have done a U-turn.
00:18:43.000Even the Swedes, who, when Hitler was trying to take the world over, stayed neutral.
00:18:48.000Even the Swedes are sending some weaponry to help the Ukrainians.
00:18:52.000And so we now see Russia increasingly being isolated from the rest of the world.
00:18:59.000But if this man has lost reason, that explains why NATO haven't gone to help the Ukrainians.
00:19:06.000Because, of course, this is a nuclear power.
00:19:10.000And we're facing up to the first confrontation between nuclear powers since the Cuban missile crisis nearly 60 years ago.
00:19:18.000And I certainly don't trust the American leadership to be able to navigate that at all in any way whatsoever.
00:19:24.000So let me ask you, Nigel, I want to dive deeper into the psychology of Putin because I'm totally on the same page as you.
00:19:31.000Other people say, you know, Putin is always playing a game.
00:20:01.000I think what Putin is harking back to and not the days of the Soviet Union so much, but actually Imperial Russia, Catherine the Great, the Tsars, the great Russian Empire.
00:20:25.000But there's no doubt about it, that those people living in Kiev, the capital city in the west of Ukraine, you know, they do not feel Russian.
00:20:35.000And for Putin to have done this and to have united the world against him shows complete overreach, total lack of judgment, bordering on megalomania.
00:20:45.000And if he does take Ukraine, which I have to be honest is the likely outcome, well, my guess, Charlie, is it'll be Moldova next.
00:20:54.000Moldova, small country, 2.6 million people, very few resources.
00:21:00.000And then we face the prospect of, well, it wouldn't be Poland.
00:21:14.000Are we seeing a repeat of what Hitler did back in the 1930s?
00:21:18.000Now, the problem here, I've said already on this call, that even the European Union have united in terms of collective action.
00:21:27.000America, can you believe that America, which has led the free world since 1945, the country we look to because of its size, because of its strength?
00:21:38.000I could not believe that last weekend, Biden was in Delaware.
00:21:44.000If ever there was a time for an American leader to have come to Europe, to have got the leaders round the table, to assume control of the situation, it was then.
00:21:54.000And all we got really last night in the State of the Union speech, well, apart from confusing Iranians and Ukrainians, I mean, just how embarrassing can you get?
00:22:06.000All we got really from Biden was we're going to do on sanctions the same thing that the Europeans are going to do.
00:22:13.000And it does appear that since the fall, since the fall of Kabbalah, since the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, at least the way in which the withdrawal was conducted, that America has rather disappeared off the world stage.
00:22:27.000Now, I quite understand those people who say, hey, you know what?
00:22:31.00020 years in Afghanistan, the cost of Iraq, the mistakes of Libya.
00:22:44.000This is a tyrant who is threatening free democratic nations, nations with whom we all have so much in common, values that we share in so many ways.
00:22:55.000This is a nuclear power run by somebody who now is looking increasingly mad.
00:23:02.000So if he continues the, let's say, campaign, let's say he seizes Kyiv successfully and takes all of Ukraine, which is easier said than done, because then he'll have to govern 25 million people that don't like him, which I don't quite understand what he plans to do with that.
00:24:40.000And in Moscow now, there's a run on the banks.
00:24:44.000It's impossible for people to leave Russia.
00:24:47.000They're trapped now like prisoners in the country, just as they were back in the Soviet Union times.
00:24:52.000We've already seen a minor mutiny of Russian sailors that took place the other day.
00:24:59.000There are reports of Russian soldiers giving themselves up.
00:25:02.000You know, it may well be that Russia collectively comes to its senses and realizes that it's led by a man who is going to enormously harm their lives.
00:25:12.000So it may well be the rebellion that gets rid of Putin actually comes from within.
00:25:17.000And that's not going to happen overnight, but it may well happen in time.
00:25:20.000But what we're seeing is this new alliance that is forming.
00:25:24.000You know, we're seeing Pakistan, North Korea, Russia and China now allied together.
00:25:32.000And I can't help feeling somewhere in all of this that China, whatever happens, China will come out of this even stronger.
00:25:40.000And that poses all of us with an even bigger question.
00:25:44.000What do we do if China decides to go and take Taiwan?
00:25:49.000And this is a real life cost of wokeism.
00:25:51.000I have to say, Nigel, the West is weak because of all of this gender ideology in our military, CRT in our schools.
00:25:58.000We are not in a posture for kinetic conflict.
00:26:01.000I mean, our military is, thank goodness, but our people, it's as if we've been so distracted by these nonsensical cultural arguments put by the radical left, both in your country and ours.
00:26:12.000All of a sudden, we have a very real threat, such as how do you energize your economy or how do you defend your people?
00:26:18.000And Putin is taking advantage of that.
00:27:31.000I'm always traveling, boarding planes, taxis, Ubers, checking in a hotels or being screamed at by angry leftists.
00:27:37.000It's really hard to go to the farmer's market to get greens, beets, pineapples, oranges, and kiwis.
00:27:41.000However, if you aren't getting a lot of daily fruits and vegetables, I can tell you balance of nature is the thing for you.
00:27:46.000Get your immune system up and running by taking Balance of Nature's 10 servings of fruits and veggies, all in six tiny capsules.
00:27:52.000For a limited time, all new preferred customers will receive an additional 35% discount and free shipping on your first Balance of Nature order.
00:28:18.000Nigel, before we get into this, I just want to give you an opportunity to plug what you're doing and give our audience a chance to support you.
00:28:24.000Yeah, we started up a new TV channel here in the UK.
00:28:27.000We're sick to death of the BBC and Sky, which has completely gone downhill.
00:28:32.000It's a bit like, you know, MSNBC and CNN.
00:28:36.000We've not had a network where you could even hear a conservative voice.
00:29:46.000What should Boris Johnson do right now?
00:29:48.000What should Joe Biden do specifically as we see what's happening in Ukraine?
00:29:54.000Let's make sure that the sanctions are genuinely watertight.
00:29:58.000And one of the problems is our woke culture has taken us towards green new deals.
00:30:02.000It's taken us towards trying to achieve net zero.
00:30:06.000And it's meant we've stopped producing as much gas and oil and electricity.
00:30:11.000We've stopped being independent when it comes to energy.
00:30:16.000And that's why, of course, we spend, you know, between America and the UK and Europe, they get about a billion dollars a day for their oil and gas.
00:30:25.000So number one, cut off supply, make ourselves more self-sufficient, cut them out completely of the banking system.
00:30:33.000Apple, who I rarely praise, will stop selling their products in Russia.
00:30:37.000So number one, make the economic noose as tight as possible to try to get Russia to turn against him from within.
00:30:45.000And secondly, and I'm like you, I'm war-wear.
00:30:49.000We've done too much of it for too long, but this is actually different.
00:31:54.000And so my other fear, though, is the competency to pull that off.
00:31:57.000For example, is doing nothing better considering we have the idiots that are running our White House right now.
00:32:03.000I'm not kidding, because the fact that they could thread that needle and do it correctly, they might try to do what they did with COVID and try to kill a mouse with a Tomahawk missile.
00:32:33.000He could get it wrong, but doing nothing right now is not an option.
00:32:37.000His allies, like us, the British, who've stood by you in virtually every major conflict since 1917, we need to hear from America that we're still part of the same team.
