the new normal. that s what this war is about. it s clear that russia has to lose. if russia does not lose, we ll have nonstop war in ukraine, plus others will take their cue from it. we ll see this world really begin to look like a jungle. it s not a gray area. the only gray area, you know, and i m not going to give the former president the benefit of the doubt here, he doesn t deserve it in his answer, we have to have a conversation, you and i had it on air, about what ukraine has to accomplish militarily in terms of liberating russian-controlled territory. that is an insider foreign polity conversation, but russia must be frustrated in their aggression. there, there can t be a debate. mara, germany has now pledged an additional $3 billion. doubles their commitment already. certainly, the germans aren t thinking like donald trump is thinking.
expedited the exodus. look, even in minnesota, desantis basically tied. same story in new mexico, a state that, well, democrats won easily. in new mexico, joe biden crushes donald trump. when joe biden is up against ron desantis, too close to fall. and in virginia, another state that s gone dark blue when you re talking about presidential contests, joe biden is leading donald trump by seven points. look at that, he s in a dead heat with ron desantis. jonathan lemire, this is not to say that ron desantis is a giant killer. this is to say what we say every day here, that donald trump has gone out of his way to offend swing voters and swing states.
reality she is. the second thing is, you know, they re like, oh, the media is bias. they won t report about the biden crime family. well, again, it s just like they re saying we won t report about the fbi. you actually had durham investigate the investigators longer than the investigation actually went on. trying to prove the fbi, that the deep state, all these people somehow had it out for donald trump. it ended up being nothing. the only thing that came out of that investigation was that john durham, who had a good reputation before him, destroyed his reputation, destroyed his career. in this case, rev, you now have the hunter biden laptop. why aren t you talking about this? why aren t you talking about that? i ll say what i ve say here time and again. you know, right now, hunter biden is being investigated by the justice department for, i think, tax issues.
year or so, we have a situation where there s been a humanitarian crisis at the border now for years. as i say here all the time, when barack obama left the white house, border crossings were at a 50 year low. it ramped up under donald trump. it s continued to go up under joe biden. this reminds me of homelessness. people say, it s terrible you don t let people live on the streets. why are you pushing them to the shelters? why are you so concerned about the homeless? well, the idea that people that have mental and health challenges, that have safety challenges should be sleeping on grates in 20 degree weather is this that s insanity. there is nothing humanitarian about it. we need shelter for every person
old unhinged behavior from donald trump. frankly, desantis, we ll see, but most of the country doesn t know him yet. they re not political junkies like us. when they look closer at his beha behavior, his obsession with disney world, it might not be what others are thinking about, like recession, inflation, housing crisis. they re not thinking, i want to see unhinged messages from donald trump for the next six years. that s not what they re thinking. no, they re really not. again, you can see it play out in the polls. again, people catastrophizing. i know democrats a week ago were catastrophizing because donald trump in one poll was, what, 36%, 38%. very intereing, several polls since then are showing joe biden is doing a-okay.
