talking about negotiating an end to the crisis and why is the answer always more money nor zelensky, ratcheting this thing up. i don t see if there s any limit here to what they will do to obtain their objective of getting rid of vladamir putin. what s it worth? literally with every other conflict with the united states directly involved or not over many decades and the minute hostilities begin, you have conversations about how do we get to a negotiated peace. does the united states need to be involved with our forces? you start to have that conversation. what does the end game look like? what does the off ramp look like. you ve had none of that. you ve had no conversations about that whatsoever coming from this administration. you need to ask them the next logical question which is who again fits by a benefits by allowing this war at home and in europe, ukraine, russia and so on and it does appear the ruling
cloud is using ukraine to launder billions of dollars so that congress and the administration, they keep waving through another week it s another billion, billion five and nobody knows where the money is going and weapons are not reaching the front lines so obviously there s no actability and congress should be demanding accountability for every penny we re sending over there and does seem the regime here at home and abroad are benefiting financially by allowing this war to continue. you ll recall that dwight eisenhower when leaving the presidency warned about the military industrial complex because they knew they have an interest in perpetual wars. also politically too, it serves the administration to have an external war going on where they can distract the american people from what they re doing here at home. will: i think the number, and i looked into this this week to your point, monica, is somewhere north of $80 billion in the past eight to nine months that we have funneled towar
charge and the tax evasion, which i m not down playing that. the much bigger crimes involve the international influence pedaling, which they probably don t want to touch for obvious reasons so they re go for the lower level stuff. it s like the al capone strategy and iowa hawkeyes thing in play, ask this is just a theory that the doj is moving against president trump and they want this as cover so they can say, look, we re doing an unbiased application of the law, we went after after trump but also a bi. given all the corruption that we know about the fbi and doj, that ll be a total farce. rachel: wow. monica, great stuff. we love having you onset. we got to have you back. by the way, my take away, make love not war. i think i m turning into a hippie. always. see how things turn, rachel. rachel: yes, i see. full circle.
and the irony and think about iran and the iraq war and they were in the streets and counter culture protesting make love not war. all of this and now the left including wingman in the press have done a full 180 and they re the ones cheering on conflict and cheering on more u.s. engagement in the conflicts around the world and completely upside down and again ask who benefits in a lot of different ways including financially and politically. pete: real quick before we lose you, hunter biden and investigation ongoing, do you believe it s in earnest or is this a half measure to check the box? this investigation has been going on for four years already; right, so obviously they ve been slow walking this thing for a long time. they wanted to see if joe was going to be elected president and now he is the president. look, i think if they decide to charge him, it s only for two reasons. one, they re going after the relatively lower level fruit on the tree, which is the gun
import to here to fill up what we need from canada. canada and mexico, that makes sense and previously friendly in mexico and then you get into countries who are less aligned with our values you might say. will: yeah, look. this of course was in the news at the beginning of the ukrainian war when we continue to import war from russia. outside of canada, i believe all the rest of these countries are opec+ countries and not sure mexico, saudi arabia, these are opec countries and we talk about opec saying we re not going to increase production, prices are going to rise from places. pete: we did the math. roughly 20 million-barrel as day is needed domestically in our country. if you increase production by a million barrels, domestically what countries don t you have to count on anymore? will: like this.
