And go back to trey yingst s reporting on the ground there, constantly evolving situation to get general keane s thought will have much more on this coming up. trace: great question on the missile thing that russia s testing now because, you know, we have not tested missiles because we are afraid that vladimir putin might take the wrong meaning out of that. and russia has no problem doing that. later on we ll talk to brian kilmeade and jennifer griffin about that exact subject. is this satan 2 missile system as fears is russia saying it is? a lot more coming up next. meantime the fight over a federal mask mandate is far from over, the do jay who will appeal what struck down for public transportation. peter doocy live on the north line. peter. and a few hours ago we did hear a little bit from president biden about what he thinks about where we stand this mask mandate right now. president biden: there is going to be an appeal by the justice department because it is
121 different countries poured into our country. we have no idea who these people are. you look at that and the other things happening, what s going on. we are disrespected all over the world. don t forget, president xi of china, pollutant, kim jong un, around, all these leaders are watching. when they watch our border i think it was the most embarrassing day ever, but as i say, what happened in afghanistan, the way we got out, it looked like a surrender. they look at that, and all of a sudden, they have great bravery, so now you have a problem in the ukraine, which you would have never had under my administration. you have a big problem. you watch after the olympics. you have a big problem with taiwan. you have kim jong un, who i got along with very well, but you have kim jong un now, does not like biden. he is doing his missile thing
Why you see the level of destruction in many cases like you re seeing in kharkiv. so they rushed to develop this. they rushed to deploy it, and they have deployed it, mostly to show that they did. but in many ways, this comes at a time where a lot of observers are commenting that the russian use of their air force has really been lacking, it s a part of the reason why they have had such stalls in their advance on key objective, so this seems in many ways mostly a publicity stunt, using this particular missile because you can really have targeted that facility using other means. okay. hey, patrick, i m going to apologize because i had a bunch of other questions to ask of you, so i would love you to come back and speak to me about that, but this whole hypersonic missile thing, i had to pivot and ask a few questions that you may not have been expecting. thank you so much for answering that. i appreciate it. all good. meantime, just a few weeks ago, my next guest said people in moscow
Theories of the pentagon right now. it is and i think the hypersonic missile thing should be taken with a little bit of a grain of salt the missile the russians are referring to is not of the type that the united states is trying to develop it is a modified my understanding is it is a modified short-range ballistic missile that was air dropped it is able to go faster because it doesn t have to burn fuel getting up to altitude it starts up there and goes faster. yeah. so the pentagon was indicating that the russian army may be simply grabbing for whatever it has. you know, whether it is desperation or not, the russian, i think, tend to use whatever they have available. one final question for you. you re a veteran of iraq that s correct. we got into baghdad awfully quickly. it seemed easy i remember do you remember the mission accomplished banner? i remember the i remember all of us thinking and hearing jon
Shaken down the world for the financeable support that keeps the regime alive. i don t want to say it can never happen, but i find it highly unlikely that he will go for full denuclearization. i think the best you could hope for, lawrence, at least in the short term, is that he might agree to stop testing his long range intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit the united states and maybe do some symbolic gesture on some nukes. he s believed to have about 60. the idea we go from 60 to 0 over night i think is highly unlikely. the missile thing can get very complicated for trump. if trump says we want you to stop building long range missiles that can hit us, our neighbors in asia, particularly japan, south korea, and taiwan, might say wait a minute, they
