This is the Bright Bart News Daily podcast. I'm Matt Boyle, our Washington Bureau Chief here at Brightbart News.

Today we had two great guests. First was Senator Marco Rubio from the great state of Florida,

who is also the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He talked about Vladimir

Zelensky's speech, the Ukrainian president before the U.S. Congress. Also talked about

the threat of the Chinese Communist Party and the energy crisis that the U.S. Congress, also talked about the threat of the Chinese

Communist Party and the energy crisis that the Biden administration has unleashed upon

the United States and the world. Senator Rubio.

Thanks for joining us again on Bright Bright News Daily.

Absolutely. It's my pleasure.

So, okay, so Senator, later this morning, I want to start with this, and I want to get to Venezuela

in the Biden administration sending down a crew down there to try to negotiate out an oil deal

with them, which is just mind-boggling. But I want to start with Vladimir Zelensky.

He's going to address you guys in the U.S.

Congress here later this morning. What are you looking for? What do you expect to hear?

What do you, what do you expect the takeaway to be from this?

Well, I think he's going to continue to outline the things he's asking for to fight, you know, Vladimir Putin and the equipment he needs at the stage of the conflict and the supplies.

And so, you know, we've seen him now. You know, he's done that with Canada yesterday, the UK last

week. I think he's speaking to the Spanish parliament tomorrow. So as he's going through all these

legislative bodies, it's a smart thing, right? Because, I mean, that's the, in these democracies,

these are the entities that have to support this and provide the funding for it.

So we'll see what he has to say, but that's our expectation. I think it's been a previewed this morning.

Right. And so, I mean, I think that he's probably going to ask for no fly zone. I know you've kind of been a little bit down on that idea, because that would mean a hot war with Russia.
