so it is not that you have an objection to what they are saying, you said it was not necessary. correct. i mean, congress basically since the iraq war has been in his duty to provide authorization. congress has just said, it is too political, it is too sensitive, we don t want to get involved. we have a real problem with that. i want to put up the map of nato, and ask you, given that we do have mutual defense treaties, that is a real treaty that is the kind of thing that is done between presidents and countries, we do have a mutual defense relationship with nato countries. russia seems to be awfully cautious about not encroaching on a nato country. so what is the role of all of those bright green countries, a member of which we are as nato in this conflict? well, look. there is a big difference between a country that is part of the nato treaty, and the country like ukraine that is not. the president has been very, very clear that we are going to reinforce our nato allies, and

this war comes to any and putit is losing control ifin we get a peace agreement. so lansky s asking us the united states, great britain and france to give security guarantees, mutual defense treaties we have with japanus and australia. i think wetr should do that . i think we should do that . we cannot allow putin to have one inch of land and we can not allow him in ukraine to unilaterally disarm. an that would be that would be beyond stupid. senator , good to see you. nithank . all right. tonight with so many crises here at home and abroad and many democrats obsessed with vilifying unfairly florida governor rhonda santurce and that new law that bans teachers from having inappropriate gender theory conversationin with kids in prek through third grade four, four, five , six , seven and eight. okay, eager to jump on any left, wing bandwagon, texas democrat basil boto bozo o rourke is out there posting this creepy picture of himself wearing a t
