yes on the amendment. in other words, who voted against keeping the abortion access that is in kansas in place. do you see this as a potential warning sign to republicans across the country that their constituency should not be defined by anti-abortion values? yes, it is really consistent, as well as attitudes about, the supreme court overturn roe v. wade. most polls show 60 to 65% of americans said they disagreed with the supreme court s decision on that. so when we end up seeing numbers like we did on the back of envelope math about, 15 to 20% of republicans or people who participated in the republican primaries last night ended up voting for the side supporting abortion rights on that toogsal amendment. that to me is very consistent with a lot of polling that abortion isn t the 50/50 issue that you and i often see when we see democrat versus republican. biden versus trump.
thank you so much for joining us this morning and talk about this announcement from the white house being made just this morning. pleasure. i want to bring in financial journalist jean shatski and also dylan rat btigan. there are so many things an administration can do to lower the price of gas and congress has to pass this and that s not a given, it may even be unlikely. what do you think of the move? look, when it comes to the pocketbook of the average american i think this is largely optics, right? the administration needs to show that it s trying to do something but i did some very quick back of the envelope math, the average american uses about 400 gallons of gas a year, this 18 cents is going to save them somewhere between $65 and $70 over the course of a year and we are talking three months here so
well, this is john kirby., we could send a lot more . they re all poised to secure the sacred ukrainian border. so you may be wondering how does that commitment compare to what the pentagon is willing to deploy to ourur southern border to? let s see a little back of the envelope math here. it s exactly eighty five hundred more because there are no troops, no. american troops heading to our southern border. distressing to you, but in a way it makes sense. ukraine needs the troops. ukraine hasn t been invaded yet. we have been invaded and we lost . we ve been dnd defeated and like all vanquished nations, we re being treated to humiliating contempt by world leaders in this case by our own leadersh . c customs and border protectionur just released the latest statistics on the invasion on going into this country in the month of december last month, the feds encountered close to one hundred and eighty thousand illegal immigrants, foreign nationals whose identities we can t knowwh on the sout
people who need it most? well, let s go back to what you said. you re exactly right. we re shipping millions. we need billions. we need 9 billion doses for the world s low and middle income countries. so when the president two days ago boasts that the u.s. government has provided 400 million doses across the world, heck, we are about to exceed with our small research in texas in collaboration with these low and middle income countries. what the g-7 leaders do not understand is the scale and magny today required. we have a billion people in sub-saharan africa, a billion people in latin america and the caribbean, a billion in the southeast asian countries with these variants that are rising. back of the envelope math, 6 billion doses, that s what we need and this is the vaccine we think can help fill that gap. thank you for all you do. for everyone out there who says
going on behind closed doors. yes, we ve managed to get 17,000 missiles over to ukraine, those are the stingers and the anti tank missiles, those are true. but those are things already in the pipeline to some extent. now we are facing new challenges and we are just too slow to respond to this developing situation. ukraine is not going to be defeated. it s a question about how many people are lost. but they have the fortitude and now they have the missiles to defend themselves. they need more in order to avoid catastrophic civilian casualties and that s in the form of jets, that s in the form of unmanned combat vehicles. and i ll tell you these estimates, 95% of russians combat power, its way off the mark. i know that we are now adjusting our minds as to where we are and what s unfolding on the ground, with the expectation that ukraine was supposed to hold. but if you do some back of the envelope math, about 70 combat
