Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, about why Russia is invading Ukraine, how China invading Taiwan could harm the U.S. economy, and the absurdity of the United Nations continuing to have Russia on its human rights council. First, Nikki explains the origins of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and how Joe Biden needs to push harsh sanctions on Russian oil imports. Nikki also shares how Biden's allowance of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and his desperation to restart the Iran nuclear deal talks helped Putin and how this would have never happened under President Trump. Finally, Nikki explains how the United Nations is failing to properly handle the Ukraine crisis.

| 0:51.6 | Thanks so much. Great to be with you Dave. |
| 0:53.6 | Well, I'm glad to have you this week because I've been telling my audience for the last |
| 0:58.0 | 10 days or so that it's extremely hard right now to figure out exactly what's going on |
| 1:02.7 | in Ukraine and Russia. And of course, Kamala Harris did tell us that Ukraine's small Russia |
| 1:09.9 | big, but I want to see if we can give a little more thoughtful analysis to that if possible. |
