Well, many of you have been reaching out because you've heard my voice and it doesn't sound totally normal.

I have been sick and unfortunately got hit with a double wamming, a serious cold and now COVID.

So far though, I have been, you know, what you would expect, not feeling great.

I am very thankful for the ability to have gotten the vaccine because as many of you know, my father last year, when in the hospital, was on oxygen for months on in afterwards.

I had his DNA and made that decision because I was making a medical decision, not a political decision based on his DNA, based on what happened to him, based on how close he was to almost dying based on the amount of time he was in the hospital.

And big on oxygen for months on end and I was at high risk because I have asthma and I just I feel very thankful for those that have given me advice in the medical community.

As I've been dealing with this, it's just everybody's having to deal with it. The reality is I feel very blessed that I was able to make it basically two years until now and getting it now.

So if I do sound a little fatigued over the next several days, that's why.

And if I do sound like it takes me a minute to maybe get a form of thought or to get on track, I wanted you to know why the fatigue issue of this is is that I would say the number one thing.

I've heard COVID brain, I understand it now. So I just want to say that at the beginning for many of you that have been reaching out on social media.

Thank you for checking on us.

And yeah, my it's I'm just glad that so far it has not been unbearable or that I've had to go to the hospital or anything like that.

So again, thoughts and prayers from all you guys have been sitting those wishes. Thank you and just want to let you know about that.

All right, we have got a lot to talk about and there is a real possibility of a war breaking out between the United States or allies in Russia. It has not been talked about very much and it's a little bit frustrating.

When you see just how close we could be because of the incompetence, I would argue of this administration. This became a major topic of conversation over the last 24 hours because satellite imagery and Intel is showing that Russia seems to be very much moving towards invading Ukraine.

This after the president screwed up this issue by saying, you know, a minor incursion into Russia. Maybe wouldn't be that bad, but don't make it major. And then the White House had to step that, you know, walk that back.

And then the president had to come out and read a statement because you can't put together coherent sentences on anything much less foreign policy because when he did it as press conferences, one year press conference, it was a total disaster.

If you're you're craning, you're watching that literally you had the president of the United States, America say it was okay to invade just a little bit into Ukraine.

The White House was in damage control for days on end and there was some that were taking political shots of the White House for this. I want to make this clear. I have said this and I said this consistently since Bill Clinton was president.

I never want the president of the United States of America to be failing when it comes to national security issues and foreign policy issues that deal with national security.

I am rooting for Joe Biden to keep us and our allies safe.

Because when there are screw ups, Americans die and innocent people die.
