the idea that what war fighters do is a professional class. and do you know what that class does? it self-polices officers enlisted, ncos hold each other to a standard. because if they don t hold them to a standard, no one else is going to do it. it s not the politicians. it s the military that does it the only people that can hold the press accountable are the press themselves to say hey, you, when you are not covering stories, you make us look bad. so one reporter tried to do it in october. and that s great. but ultimately, it should be embarrassing for that atlantic reporter, for the npr to have to come out and admit it it s a stain on a profession that the rest of us shouldn t take seriously anymore. there is no treason take these new york city journalists as journalists because they have totallied a abdicated their profession. it s because they are all the same leftist. the ethos is clear and it s a
science israel recognizes it, some states. we don t for some reason. same thick in our military right now. guys are being purged and pushed out of the military record numbers. a lot of our war fighters it s a scary moment. ainsley: i talked to someone. he said do not believe the numbers. it is much higher than what they re telling us. his son is in the marines they lost i can t remember the exact number. out of the hundreds that they have. i think they lost 50 of several hundred that are in his unit. pete: i spoke to a man in the ranger unit. he said 25 of his company. which is about a quarter of his company. this is a ranger regimen, special operators in the u.s. army. ainsley: what does this mean for our national security? pete: you tell me. steve: two things, one, regarding natural immunity, when i had omicron in january, my dr., dr. ken who is watching right now. okay. that is going to count as one of your shots. you are good for another six months. your natural immunit
ukraine to take on a full russian assault right now. i will say this. the people we trained, the men and women of the ukrainian armed forces they are tough and professional military force, they are well well trained and our job as lie allies. resources they need to defend themselves. anti-aircraft. so they can at least make putin pay. so. all of us here in the united states be giving them our thoughts and prayers and the resources they need to fight. pete: joey, do you think that s the sentiment right now amongst, you know, our generation of war fighters? we spent a lot of money and decades fighting in foreign countries trying to remake them and now it s time for ukraine and others to stand up for themselves? you know, i can t speak for everyone in uniform right now. as a veteran that fought the
fallen by the wayside for so many years. it s sad to see that over 170 republicans played partisan politics and voted no against the bill that is helping the war fighters. quite frankly, jake, they should be ashamed of themselves to ever say they support the military and veterans. it s a step in the right direction but it s not enough. we still need to get all those presumptives in there. i know this would expand care for 3.5 million veterans. but after this bill we fight over it, we need to expand health care for all veterans that served in the military, regardless of which area you served in. because we still have vietnam vets who are still fighting to get the benefits. they were exposed to agent orange 60 years ago. it s a long, hard fight, slog, but i am thankful that we re taking a step in the right direction. it s a long, bipartisan history in this country of screwing over our veterans after asking them to fight for us. the u.s. senate passed its own
possibly creating is, again, going to be a real challenging mission for the ukraine military that clearly has its hands full. every day that goes by right now it gives them an opportunity to improve their defenses of kyiv and some of these cities they re trying to fight against. we also saw yesterday ukraine soldiers helping civilians. they re just doing an incredible job on the ground of being war fighters and making sure that the humanitarian aid gets going. so i think it might be a bridge too far. maybe they ll get a few planes over, but i think in concept a good idea but in execution is going to be challenging. i get, as to many, how and why a no fly zone is dangerous. it would put the u.s., nato war planes in a position of shooting down russian war planes, and then suddenly you re at war, right? potentially nuclear war. here s a question, russia is escalating throughout. it is escalating its attacks on cities, and if we look at putin s playbook from syria and going back to chech
