| 0:00.0 | I'm Job Gotch with my colleague Colonel Jeff McCausen, CBS News, visiting Professor Dickinson College, |
| 0:10.8 | Diamond Six Leadership and Strategy, Ukraine. We begin in Congress. It's not a war fighting area, |
| 0:17.0 | but it's critical to understand why the vow has not happened yet to support Ukraine. |
| 0:25.0 | They are not being shy about saying we're out of air defense, we're out of ammunition, |
| 0:30.0 | we're out of people, yesterday or the day before there was even a report they're out of |
| 0:34.8 | transport for their wounded on the battle front and Congress has not moved and Jeff at this |

| 1:28.7 | Mike Rogers, he's the Republican Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and I'll read you his recent quote. A Russian victory will embolden Kim |
| 1:36.5 | G and the Iotaoah to confront South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and only the United |
| 1:42.0 | States in new and fatal ways. |
| 1:44.0 | I fear Putin will use a victory in Ukraine as a springboard to invade Eastern Europe. |
| 1:49.0 | We can't let that happen. |
| 1:51.0 | We must restore American deterrence and that's coming from one of the |
