  1. Right it's a fresh and best beer when the host is not controlled or influence or been there for so long and it's just like yeah inside the bubble don't know a real life is like that's Chuck tired and a Christian Walker see this lady know what it is outside

  2. The way this war will end with fewer casualties and costs IS TO PROVIDE A GAME CHANGER. So far Russia has been able to meet more minor military. They have Iran's equipment and they have mobilized more citizens to fight. There are times when one side or the other gains. And people die. There are times when it seems that Ukraine is waiting for equipment. And people die.
    Let's look for the LAST step to end the war.

  3. Gives this host more screen time. She is competent and palatable enough to host segments not just contribute to table talks.

  4. EU needs to step up Now!!!

  5. Putin visits Belarus But. Zenlenski visits America!!! I love it.

  6. That map should show that Crimea belongs to Ukraine not Russia.

  7. I hope the Republicans don’t stoop to a new low and hurt Ukraine.

  8. This host is the truth. Love her. I like how Chris Murphy said Donald Trump was “corrupt” in a natural way. I love how he said that. It should flow and not seem like an attack, just common sense speaking that Donald Trump is “corrupt”

  9. IT'S ABOUT TIME U.S. PROVIDE A LONG RANGE MISSILE FOR DEFENSE !
    LONG LIVE UKRAINE !
    LONG LIVE PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY !

  10. Even in the Senate the world will not stop interrupting. 🙂

  11. You could feel the harmony between the Ukraine and American Presidents. This meeting is moving forward in the right kind of way.

  12. What a phony Biden can't read without his glasses'.

  13. Ordinary people Americans.

  14. Billions for Ukraine risking nuclear war.
    And our border is wide open.
    It’s madness.

  15. "What did you pay in taxes last year? $3000 STFU. You'll still get your return drama queen!" – zelensky

  16. The two things the US excels at is industrialization and selling out, so combine the two. Imagine if the UAE, a country with a bottomless cash supply and experienced in terraforming a dry hot climate, leased a narrow corridor along the southern border and instead of a wall, built an oasis where everyone wanted to vacation?

    Imagine if the southern border was an immaculate green swath of 40 story hotels, golf courses and tropical ski resorts?! In short a perfect place for an army of immigrants to work while adding substantially to the economy. Look at Israel as a positive example of the potential of a desert community given enough money and irrigation. What they've accomplished in 80 years with the help of miracles, we could do in 20 with an army of hungry Mexicans without all the drama. For another example Miami has only existed a hundred years. What could happen on the border with unlimited funds and unlimited manpower? Imagine what we could do in 25 years? This is our opportunity to be the leader of the civilized world again.

    With Dubai funding development on both sides of the southern border Mexico could focus on building green state of the art or even experimental neighborhoods with schools and hospitals to support immigrant communities waiting on visas. Their employment would be provided on the US side of "The Green Zone". For the immigrants, imagine a Disneyland where the monorail takes you to work at the Magic Kingdom everyday. This idea could even discourage actual immigration. Opportunities for bodegas and bakeries would abound. It would quickly become a self sustaining community.

    Dubai funding on the US side could obviously lead to large scale infrastructure projects like repairing the Flint water situation for once and for all but consider a future where private drones fly to your house and pick your family up for a free flight to Vacationland in "The Green Zone". Like Alaska gives every citizen an oil industry rebate, the border states could give every resident a two week vacation.

    The US could rapidly reinvest trillions in education, police, health and infrastructure. Instead of one path to the summit for our children, we could help find a specific path for every child. That's what will save us. Plenty of opportunities for immigrants and gringos alike.

    We need a project like this as a country.
    Imagine a construction project like the Panama Canal, Transcontinental Railroad, Hoover Dam and the Olympic Village all rolled into one, using nothing but state of the art technologies. Generations of us working with state of the art techniques. Something like "The Magnificent Mile" stretched out to 500 miles. The precedent has been set. No less staggering and revolutionary. And what better way to prepare for a changing climate than to learn to thrive in this environment? And after whomever recoups their investment the lease can be renegotiated even more in favor of the US.

    Industrialists could make billions more off the US. In fact! It would need investment on a scale that could refocus the attention of the Military/Industrial complex. That's potential access to the Pentagon Budget. Immigrants could live in Mexico where it's affordable and work ON the border in a demilitarized zone without ever entering the country. We can reverse the flow of illegals back to the border by making them a offer they could not refuse.

    It could also be a great buffer against the cartel by being a more profitable market for drugs. And the problem with the cartel on the border? Who better to take the fight to them than some everyday Arabs?! Whose more scary? They have been beheading people for centuries.

    But here's still another way, sadly the American way…when alternative energy steals the coal miners away from the mines the coal barons like Senator Manchin can move their operation to the border where they can continue to thrive off the exploited poor by running industrial immigration camps. They could mirror traditional coal camps. Manchin could even print up money with his face on it for use at the company store. What billionaire wouldn't jump at that? Instead of mines the immigrants would literally #buildthewall. Plus proud coal miners don't have to loose out they can move to the desert and keep grubbing in the dirt too.

  17. Zelenskyy should be banned from America…he has escalated a war he could have ended, but his love of $$$$ corrupted him!

  18. some ppl are so ignorant the fact is that usa is making so much money with these war promoting usa weapons the weapon industry in usa demand is high not to mention the saving with ukraine testing their weapons usa is not giving money to ukraine what usa is doing is making money thru them by asking other countries to give ukraine their old weapons so dose country buy usa made weapons .Ukraine use the weapons and other countries see how effective they are making usa weapon in high demands

  19. HOLY COW ! ! Someone LOVES to eat !!!

  28. Ukraine financial war support from the American people, minus 10 % percent for the BIG GUY JOE BIDEN AND THE CORRUPT BIDEN FAMILY. Biden wants to keep the Ukraine border safe , but won't keep our Mexico border safe .
