It's Brian Kilmeade.

Hey, I'm Jason Chapetz and I'm filling in today for Brian Kilmeade. It's an honor to privilege to be with you. Thanks for joining us. We've got a lot to talk about.

A happy president's date, anybody out there that's thinking about the president's and excuse me, wanting to take some time to recognize them.

And so we've had some great presidents along the way and it's kind of worthwhile to understand what they did. Now they did it, but we've got a president who's under suppression right now.

I tell you because we've got Russia on the move potentially going into Ukraine and we want to get right after it, because we're thrilled to have Congressman Chris Stewart.

Now I was in Congress for eight and a half years from the state of Utah, but in Utah's second congressional district, Congressman Chris Stewart is on the House Intelligence committees, on the Appropriations Committee,

who's a former Air Force B1 pilot actually holds a world record fastest trip, I think, around the world.

But it's also the author of a new book that has just come out the final fight for freedom, the final fight for freedom.

Please help welcome us to the show Congressman Chris Stewart.

Good morning, Jason. So good to be with you. Thank you.

Hey, thanks for having us. Look, one of the things you really bring to the table, the impact that you make there in Congress is your understanding and your in depth analysis of not only the military background, but also the intelligence background.

And, you know, the concern is that the Vladimir Putin is about to move back into Ukraine for the second time, obviously taking over the Crimea, Crimea, and now looking to make another bold move.

What do you think is happening? What's your best guess as you see it?

Yeah, I think, you know, the president's been pretty clear as have been many of the other administration officials that the Vladimir Putin decided sometime last fall that he was going to do this.

And the intelligence on this is, as I said, been pretty clear. And by the way, Jason, when I say that, the intelligence, you know, I understand there's their skepticism regarding that, and I share that skepticism because sometimes they just get it wrong.

And the other thing is Putin has done this before. Remember last April, he masked some soldiers on the Ukrainian border and threatened it, but this is obviously something different.

And everything that he's done militarily since that has been consistent with, yes, he's actually planning something we haven't seen in Europe since the 1960s.

You know, it's been two generations nearly, and that is an actual massive land invasion of another country, a free and independent country.

I think there's a possibility that we could change his mind, but, but if he doesn't go, it will be because of that because he actually did change his night, not because he never intended to do this in the first place.

Would he go to take the capital or explain to everybody why and what is so appealing that Vladimir Putin wants out of Ukraine?

I mean, I know they sure share a big border, but why is he doing this? I mean, he took over Crimea. Wasn't that enough?
