team. Buck welcome to the Freedom Hut Thursday March 3rd edition of the program. We have the Russians taking their first city in Ukraine and circling many others and making their way toward a siege of the capital city of

Kiev. What does this look like in the days ahead? What's the US doing about it? How's the Biden administration responding? We'll discuss. And then on COVID, they're already admitting this is going to be seasonal, which means we are not done. They are not done with us.

And we have to continue to fight the battles about whether or not any of the stuff they made us do was actually worthwhile. And there's some who are pointing out the damage to children, specifically from the masking policies has made them completely outraged. And they're right. They're absolutely right.

And he has no way of trying to convince people who are rational and evidence based that he's not going to be able to do that.

He's actually good at this job. So keep that in mind as well. But Joe Biden has really outdone himself in the last 24 hours because you knew this was coming. There's all this moral outrage right now around the invasion of Ukraine, which is understandable because Russia is waging an aggressive war of conquest against a country that had been peaceful and mining its own business.

Then there's all this shutting down of dissent, punishing people that have nothing to do with it, just because they are Russian FIFA, the video game maker, for example, is taking all Russian teams off of the FIFA video game soccer soccer game that they have. What is that doing? I mean that the soccer teams Russian club teams didn't do anything. They're not responsible for this, but they're being taken off of FIFA's platform. People are saying sees the personal assets of Russian.

Not just all of Garx, but anybody who's very wealthy in Russian abroad with even the Vegas connection to the Russian government, prevent their children from going to school in the West. You're seeing this right now. There is a totalitarian impulse on display, given what we just saw in Canada, where Justin Trudeau invoked a state of emergency to shut down a peaceful protest.

This is in our closest neighbor, the country, most similar to the United States in the whole world. I think we should be very cautious about what we're seeing here. You know, there's been shutdowns of using Google pay so that the Russian subway system would not be able to function as well. I mean, they're they're shutting off payment processors. This is not to necessarily Russian military or Russian government. This is anything Russian is now coming in for not just criticism, but punishment.

That's a problem, folks. This is not a good idea, but you're seeing that the apparatus has decided this is a good versus evil battle. And even if they have to do evil in the name of combating it, they will or even if they have to go too far or to do something that's pointless.

This is our freedom fries moment. Remember that back in 2003. They're not French fries because of Jacques Chirac. We're going to call them freedom fries. People are dumping out their vodka down the drain if it's Russian vodka.

What is that going to do? Absolutely nothing. This is absurd. But you can see that people have gotten used to mass mobilization and a totalitarian mindset in this country. The leftists who have been supporting Biden through the COVID madness that we've seen.

They aren't about to decide that they want to have nuance discussions and allow for dissent. No, they prefer a world in which they can shut down anything they don't like and understand this the same. This is classic. This is from a linsky. This is actually in rules for radicals once you mobilize people around one issue and get them used to certain tactics on one issue.

You can mobilize them toward another one. Right. So once you get them organized and moving and active against climate change, then you can have it against racism or you can have it against voter suppression or you can have it against whatever capitalism.

That's how this works. Get people moving. Get them aggravated, agitated. Get them used to shouting slogans. Well, you might be wondering, what is that a concern for us though? Okay, fine. So there's been a

lack of nuance and a strange reaction in some ways against all things Russian as if everyone who speaks Russian or is from Russia is somehow part of the problem here. That's underway right now.

Why should I worry us? Here's what Joe Biden said just yesterday trying to try to just listen to this play clip.

Vladimir Putin was counting on being able to split up the United States. Look, how would you feel if you saw crowds storm and break down the doors of the British parliament, kill five cops, injure 145 or the German Bundestag or the Italian parliament? I think you wonder.

Ah, so January 6th. This is Joe Biden. You heard him. January 6th led to the invasion of Ukraine. Don't you see?

He even lied about five cops dying as a result of violence that day. One cop died of a stroke a day later and then four others committed suicide.

That is not a result of direct action violence from January 6th, but doesn't that just keeps keep lying about it. Even the daily mail reporting on it said he's lying. I mean, they didn't the writers did not kill five cops.

But he's lying and you see why? Oh, so not only are Trump supporters threatening our democracy, they're threatening global democracy Biden wants to say is saying is implying.
