victoria s secret is spilled and they are all guys. laura: since it s friday i m offering you our new recurring segment three wishes. what are the three wishes this friday m okay. my first wish, laura, is that cnn would stop trying to tell us that ukrainian president zelensky is appearing for an interview, he is really there for a telethon. we need the jets and this is a clear outside of a part of our defense. we really need this. it s a hard sell over there, laura. all they need is jerry lewis. every time he appears he is asking for more. we have given ukraine $115 billion, that is 2% of our entire federal budget. 2%, laura. laura: well, i think that our military budget itself is

the southeast, there s more territory that s been consumed by putin s army. again, watch this here. okay? that s a year ago. this is where we are now, in february of 23, you see it fill in. what is the contribution on behalf of the united states? it is significant. far and away more significant than any other entity in the world. the united states military financing humanitarian contributions so far, some say upwards of $110 billion to $115 billion total, easily dwarfing canada and on down the line. in the short term, at the moment, your gas prices, shot up significantly. okay? here s the start of the war. we peaked right around this mark. it was about june of 2022. that s just about $5.10 a gallon nationwide. we ve since come down, but that was the effect of putin s war,
ammunition. they turn off their transponders when they depart because they know what they re doing. biden knows what s going on despite that, and yet he keeps on issuing these hollow warnings. and we know that hollow warnings always end in disaster. sean: china came out with a 12-point peace proposal. what you think about that? all they were doing was trying to support russia. they want a cease-fire, they want russia to have the ability to rearm, and clearly zelenskyy doesn t like this, because he wants to press the advantage, and we should do that, because we should have a policy of winning. biden doesn t have that. his policy as we just heard is to stretch this out for years. sean: we are $31.5 trillion in debt. over the last year we spent $115 billion in ukraine. doesn t our debt project weakness as well as allowing china to steal our technology, empty threats by our president? what we are seeing is the united states these commitments
the house republicans, is simply raising the revenue that is owed to us. so the first bill that house republicans said they wanted to pass was gutting spending slated for the irs that came through the inflation reduction act. now, the nonpartisan congressional budget office scored that proposal as adding 115 billion to the deficit. so the first thing that the supposed fiscal hawks want to do is come in and increase the budget deficit by over $100 billion, by letting wealthy tax cheats get away with evading their taxes. again, this is exactly the opposite of what this president wants to do and it flies in the face of tax fairness. that s the right place to start. make sure people are paying. especially those in the top 1%. paying what they owe. when it comes to negotiating spending, i m not going to do that right here with you right now why not? it is as good of a place as any to talk about where we can make some cuts. you know what?
