"Oh, look, the reality of these spending caps is that they can always be overridden in the future if there is a really strong need for something. We saw it with Ukraine where we got additional funding as necessary to support the efforts in Ukraine. We've seen it in the past when we need additional money for natural disasters or whatever the case may be. But the reality of governing is that you make a plan. You do your best to make a common sense plan and then you deviate from it as necessary depending on the needs of the country. The president is realistic about that. But again, this level of defense funding reflects what The Pentagon thinks is that an adequate level of funding going forward. So we're satisfied with that level as well. That is Bharat ramamurti he's the deputy director of the national economic council and he says that the spending caps can be overridden later if need be because that's how this deal is made. So in effect, the caps that the 1% caps that McCarthy's put into the deal can be over it by the Biden administration at however they want to justify these things so in effect it seems to me there are no guardrails on spending in the deal. And I think that's why everybody is so upset because we want to see a number. Say, hey, look, you can't spend this much, you can't go beyond this, but the beyond this they picked was the date not a number. I guess the number is the date if you want to get into the splitting of hairs. But saying that you can't spend past 2025, that's very different, or you can spend until 25, but you can't spend beyond that until you reauthorize or do whatever it does it have to do. It seems to me like Biden is going to have a spending spree on his hands, right? Because what are you going to do? This is the deal that they made, right? In many ways, I deal with the devil. Now, representative Debbie dingell, I'm not making fun of her. That's really her name. Debbie dingell, a Democrat from Michigan. She says that her colleagues were held hostage in the making of the deal. Now, what's interesting about this is that she's a Democrat and you've got a lot of Democrats are very upset. You've got a lot of Republicans that are very upset, which makes me wonder, is this thing that on arrival or is it fly right through? I don't know the answer. But I'm curious to know. And I'm looking forward to chatting with senator Ted Cruz shortly to get his take on that. But here's representative Debbie dingell. You know, I'm still an undecided, we can not pay our bills. We can, I think many of us right now are feeling our very angry that we have been held hostage that we find ourselves in this situation. I do not believe compromise is a dirty word, but we're so I spent my entire day yesterday in meetings with various White House officials and then other colleagues trying to understand what the implications were. So I'm going to go back to the hill. Today I'm going to meet with a lot of my colleagues and get to where we need to go. I know we have to pay our bills at is probably the most overriding thing driving me, but as I said yesterday, there are parts of this bill that I would not vote for if they were a freestanding Bill. And the whole process is not one that is the way that the government should operate. We need regular order. That, to me, congresswoman sounds like a very reluctant yes at this point. Am I reading that right? I'm not going to tell you one way or the other because I'm going to keep asking questions and if I learn anything that's very disturbing today. I'm going to understand how precedent setting this bill is. How is this going to unpack future bills? What are those domestic spending cuts? What are those programs really going to cut? Our senior is going to be hurt and there are some real questions that I have. So, you know, I think undecided is probably the safest place to play. Undecided, yeah. Look, obviously, I was listening to a report earlier congresswoman Lauren boebert from Colorado was saying that while there are some Democrats that are saying publicly that they're disappointed, they're very happy to have this carte blanche spending until 2025 and that they're already whipping votes and anybody that's really on the fence. They're going to get their peace support so that they can go along to get along. So I don't think anybody's really upset with it. Maybe Debbie dingell is, but I don't think many of them are. Just my opinion. But again, there's a cavalcade of people out there saying that's what it is. You got congressman Jim heim's Democrat from Connecticut, he's asked if Democrats are disappointed in the debt ceiling Bill. And he says, look, it may end up getting some Democrat votes. I can't predict this one. I don't know. Maybe it is dead on arrival and brings him back to the table. Who knows, but listen to this. I came Jeffreys, said to him that there are Democrats are mad because there's nothing for them in

"Is. Passing the headphones for my very small dogs in here. A very small band. That's very nice. Thank you. Okay You know what would have been funnier if Jim heims took a little hit on helium before he would have been hilarious. It's a tiny Bill. I like big boys. Okay, not that one yet. And then we'll play another. Okay. Here we go. It's a very, very small Bill. The bill looks anything like what the Republicans passed on the floor where they rescinded all of the money designed to create an electric battery industry in this country, designed to further reduce drug prices. You would have had unanimity against it. But, you know, the IRS money is a pretty good example. Why the speaker, by the way, wants to defend taking IRS police off the block so that more people can cheat on their taxes is beyond me. You know, what's really hard to say. Do you think do you think Larry cuddles? Everyone able to pronounce unions in a minute? Definitely. Where they have an enemy about small I can't say definitively. No, you can not say divinity when you're that drunk. Or you intimidate. Yes. Angela, if you Shelton of the Detroit Shelton, she wants to know, can you touch your nose and do you smell toast? Why?

And say no big job. I want it. But you got me going. Ah, yeah. Oh, wow, I forgot how many arrows. Okay. For the tiny, tiny bit of a hole. Wait for it. Hang on. I apologize to everyone's pants. All of your garage doors that just flew open. Nice to have nightmares. She's not just. Jodi, that is my, by the way, oh, I played, what do you call it?

Don't you have a spectacular ride? Have you gotten it back? I don't have mine's paper plates. You take your bronze ass and you show them what they are. Thank you. Mine are flat and long. That's just. I like them flat and low. Okay. As I said earlier, Black Knight said stupid people are gonna claim Biden screwing the American people with this deal to raise the debt ceiling in reality. All you have to do is vote for Democrats next year at the concessions Republicans demand and will be undone when we win the house back. He also said conservatives are already mad at the debt limit deal. That's how you know Biden won. The best part is watching all these right wingers yell UK to Kevin McCarthy. They know their side loss this battle. I'm a report. And John pavlov is just that it's astounding how much potus has accomplished all without an actual functioning functioning majority. Which is which is true. Basically, Trump got as Conor McGregor would say. Oh, no, don't do it. No. No. Grave heart. He had the house Anderson and he got nothing on it. You know what I mean?

"I just have still got a lot of fight left in me it's not done yet and all you need to do is check the social media of the freedom caucus who are just obliterating this deal. And by the way, there'll be a 5 o'clock call today with the democratic caucus. I expect to have to hold the phone out here based on what we're going to hear from some of our progressive members. So it is far from over the finish line yet, and of course, if it doesn't go over the finish line, then I think we're going to see the kind of market reaction that none of us want to see. I'm worried about that. Representative Jim Heinz. I kept saying this group of Republican terrorists might be the ones that actually drive us over the cliff. Biden is so smart about this stuff, Jody. It was saying when they interviewed him about, you know, how can we not say it's a good deal. He's like, do you really think that's going to help get it passed? No kidding. This is all they're about is just, you know, our liberals mad enough. Does the libs feel like they were owned and they lost, you know? And clearly, from all reaction, Kevin McCarthy totally got passed. Joe Biden, once again, was underestimated. But I mean, now who knows? You know, because of that, because obviously, as much as Kevin McCarthy tried to spin this as some great deal that he got, I don't know what's going to happen now. Anybody, anybody guesses, Bueller? What do you think's going to happen now? I think we're going to run into some trouble. I do too. What are they doing? He's not Nancy Pelosi. He's not. The thing needs to be absolutely done and finished and signed and sealed in the liver on June 5th. Right. A whole lot of stuff. Yeah, I mean, as I was saying, I was reading sort of across the spectrum, you know, about people talking about the Joe Biden keeps getting underestimated because, you know, his decades of experience, if you really look at this deal, I went through the rough outlines of it. Without us controlling the house, I think this looks like a huge Biden win. Again, as you were saying, no, there's things to not be happy about turnout and huge numbers in 24. Give him top of the show. We can fix all that. But man, Biden got way more than I think anybody expected in terms of there really were no real student debt relief. Everything is pretty much intact. I'm not as you'll be surprised to know. I am not a budget expert, Judy. What? I thought you were like Paul rud a lot of the explanations of everything are like, you know, if you get into the weeds on all the specific things, they protected a lot of benefits in a lot of different ways and also the debt ceiling gets put off for two years. That's the important thing. Yeah, it's so ridiculous. We really just have to get rid of this. We just go through this stupid exercise. We should not be negotiating over it at all. It's only been a law since 1917. So, yeah. No reason to keep it. Yeah. Not only because of World War I. Jim heim said, pramila jayapal, the progressive caucus, of course, not happy. You know, some on the far left were not happy. The maggot caucus is going nuts. On the right, this is pramila jayapal. Terrible policy, absolutely terrible policy. Does not reduce spending actually by some estimates creates a burden on administrative spending that is actually worse for, you know, for the overall cost of a program like that. Number two, it is about people who are hungry. People who just need a little bit of temporary assistance. And we are one of the only countries in the world, if not the only country in the world that is an industrialized country that puts any requirements on people who just want food. So very bad policy does not save money. And by the way, does not work. They were able to carve out a lot of stuff, I believe, for, you know, veterans, homeless, there were a lot of exceptions, I think, that people I respect on this were saying, you know, that a lot of stuff is protected that they didn't anticipate. Right. Yeah, so primal Jaipur. It is bad policy. I told the president that directly when he called me last week on Wednesday, that this is saying to poor people and people who are in need that we don't trust them. And the average amount of assistance for snap, for example, is $6 a day, Jake. I mean, we're talking about $6 a day. And I think it is really unfortunate that the president opened the door to this. I don't disagree with her. I agree with her, but again, it just get him the house back. Get a real Senate. Manchin and send him, I mean, first of all, Kristen sinema is out doing Republican fundraisers trashing Democrats. She's not even in my opinion in independence. She's basically a Republican at this point. No labels is trying to run Joe Manchin as president, which the goal of that is to get Trump back in The White House. So yeah, I'm sorry, you were going to say oh no, I was going to say the other thing that I was pointing out there though, it's $6 a day for these people. That's what the difference is. The administrative cost that she was talking about is now we're going to have to pay people to verify that every week. The amount of money that goes into just that for and it's only raising it from like 54 to 56. So the age requirement for the work requirements. Oh, I asked to see my mom's birth certificate to prove she's really a hundred when I tell her just to, like, a simple thing like carrying my weights to the attic. Well, yeah. So. You know, to get her Medicare and social security. Are the 6 year olds that are going to be helped by this? Are they going to have to go out and find a job? No, they're not. They're in Arkansas, because they're true. That's also true. Yeah. Yeah. Because you want to make sure you can marry your 12 year old and make sure they work. And they have a factory job in the meatpacking place. That's so safe when you're in the foundry. Okay, one more up in village I fall. While at the end of the day, perhaps this will, because of the exemptions, perhaps it will be okay. I can't commit to that. I really don't know. And our caucus, and it's not just the progressives across the ideological spectrum, including problem solvers, by the way. People feel that this is bad policy. So it's very unfortunate that it's even made its way into the discussion. Woody and Oklahoma. Hello woody. Hello. Stephanie, this is your passive. My pastor? Yes. I'm your self reported pastor. I have a password. No, you are a pastor. Okay. Okay. All right. I am. I'm not a religious text on the spiritual password. As a whole new deal. But look, I think gathered and given up the speaker of different cars. Yeah. And Biden, I think it's a decent deal, and I think we have to the Democrats, they have to they have to spend by him and go with it. We can not stand to look like weird divided. And we don't know what we're doing. Because we have a lot riding on it. We have, we have the curriculum, respecting truth, which they call the CRT, critical race theory, is really just curriculum respecting truth. We have the LGBTQ we have to protect and if we have so much riding on this, we've got to stay together until this election. Absolutely. What did we say about how many people died in World War II? And all we're asking is to vote against fascism. We, you know, how many people died, you know, Memorial Day, you see all these scenes of Arlington, whatever, but it just, you know, all you have to do is vote. All you gotta do is vote to stop fascism this time. We're not asking anyone to storm the beach at Normandy, right? Okay, speaking of fascism, Ron DeSantis

"PTA 20, because facts matter. House Democrats are not going to sign on to devastating cuts for teachers, food assistance, or Medicaid. Speaker McCarthy needs to get serious before he sends the country spiraling into a recession. It is the Stephanie Miller show. It's Fridays with just frangela. Yes. Look, before y'all start calling the police, we already in that location. We didn't do nothing to work. Another eye injury maybe? Eve Harrington. Maybe somebody asked her to do some work or some free. Another lesbian eye injury? Hello. And by late. Yes. I'm sorry. I apologize for it. What did I miss? You are. Oh, okay, good. Yes, for pleasure. 5. Good for him. How about Jim heims? How about that? Okay. Here we go. If Joe Biden strikes a deal that involves things that irritate four or 5 Senate Democrats, that's it in the Senate. So I am really, really concerned here that it's not just that the negotiators are far apart, but that the people who have sway over whether Kevin McCarthy remain speaker or in the Senate because the majority is so small there, whether any deal can pass. And so bottom line, what's going to happen, again, I hate to be the pessimist here, but I think at some point the markets, you pointed out the equity market today. At some point, the markets are going to say, you guys don't even realize it, but you're playing with fire here. Yeah, I mean, we were saying these may be just the terrorists that burned this all down. We have never done this before. We just played a whole Montage of Kevin McCarthy saying it's not my fault. That's all they care about is hurting America and therefore Biden, right? And I think again, I have to say that there are we have to you have to leave space for the idea that this isn't some move. It isn't just a strategy. It doesn't matter because it's their agenda. Because they make money in this stock market. Kevin McCarthy makes something like a $1 million a month. Yeah. Okay. It hurts them financially, but they still seem willing to do it. Yeah. So it's their agenda's white supremacy. Continuing insurrection. That's what we were saying. And the moment this Stuart roads gets convicted of 18 years yesterday, you've got, you know, Donald Trump Ron DeSantis, basically just saying, though pardon, don't pardon everybody. Desantis will part in Trump if he gets in. Trump will pardon all of the terrorists from January 6th. I mean because taking over the government is the point. Yeah. Yeah. And making our own rules, our own decisions about saving our people, our ideology, that is what the GOP is about. It is not about governing or government. Yeah. It is about ideology. This, my problem with us all. Is that we keep treating this group of people like it was the same group of people 8 years ago. And these are not the same people. Isn't that all like one story? Realizing I was talking about Tina Turner. It's about, you know, standing up to the bullies in your life. And I feel like that's where we are at this moment in history. You know, we were talking about what's happening with target. I mean, on Q two, California transgender female high school athlete female high school athletes who qualified for the state track championship are facing vitriolic attacks, they attend private schools in different parts of the state. I mean, we were saying about, you know, target that we understand the fear and the climate we're in, but I mean, to have to move your pride display to the back of the store kind of defeats the purpose of pride, right? I mean, in a way it's caving to the bullies. To the terrorists, these are terrorists. That's right. Okay. These are not bullies. These are terrorists and they're micro expression of the macro of what's happening with the debt ceiling. What they have learned to do as part of their strategy and ideology is hold everybody hostage to their ideology with the threat of their guns and their violence and willing to burn it all down. And so what target has to say is, well, we care about this issue, but we also care about the people who physically are in Georgia on the floor. Yeah. Because we don't want somebody some full coming in here shooting, you know, a 17 year old stop boy just because he's restocking the pride onesies. Yeah. And we talked about this in the follower this week. This is the problem, though, because if it were another problem, their solution to it wouldn't be to get rid of the merchandise or hide it. When they had a problem, when they have a problem with shopping, what they do, they put in cameras, they put a metal detectors and guards. Yeah. You know? And they look like the detectors for the tags. They protect. So to me, this is a problem that you could address a number of ways. You could have better security. You can pay attention to that. But what you do is what I do know about these people is their cowards. I mean, we talked about this. We talked about this earlier. We had Fred Gutenberg here in studio. I had to ask during the commercial break, should I promote this book event? Is there security there? Because of what's happened to these people like the Parkland parents. I mean, and we decided we all decided, you know, maybe not. And thank God, you know, it went off without a hitch and was a great success, but you know, we talked about the book event. I was supposed to host with Malcolm dance that got canceled because of threats. I mean, you know, we have idiots like right-wing host Charlie Kirk, nakedly incited viewers to use force and pain to punish target over the pride collection, which activists like Kirk have waged a campaign of threats and falsehoods against through the latest focal point of anti trans hate after the company offered a prize for a collection that was threatening violence. It's against the law. It's assault. And I have to say that I think that we were talking about this too. I'm a final word that the way that the press see how the press just made the mainstream media just normal is that they call him an activist. Yeah. They didn't call him anti democratic fascist terrorist potential domestic cares. They didn't call him a gang member. They didn't call him somebody who advocates that violence. They call them an activist, which is crazy. You know what killed me the Fred Gutenberg said this week and here he said he said I'm not an activist. I'm I'm just a broken dad. You know, do you think any of those people wanted to be activists? He wanted to be, you know, watching his daughter get married. That's what he wanted to be doing. What were you going to say? I was going to say about the track meet. Father was going to give you that story. That is the high school, it's the closest high school to my mom's house. So that track means being held in Clovis, California, which is a very conservative part of the why are they even holding that there because these two girls have been running with their track teams in Northern California and Southern California without a problem, they're having it in one of the most conservative parts of the state, and that's going to bring violence to that track meet. If it's held up, why would they even go there? Frances to your point. It's systemic. You know, there's two stories in front of me right now. DHS warns of attacks against government buildings minority groups ahead of 2024 election. I mean, I feel like that's what this whole election is going to be about is standing up to bullies. You know, Amanda Gorman saying, my book is banned, but not guns that are massacring our kids in school. The DHS is warning about the potential of violence in the lead up to the 2024 election cycle, could target the nation's critical infrastructure, faith based institution, government facilities facilities and minority communities in the coming months, DHS expresses expects the threat environment to remain heightened that all individuals may be motivated to violence by perceptions of the 2024 general election cycle adding legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to social political issues may also motivate attackers. I mean, I think we all know that and sense that. We have just been talking about it the threat environment we all live in every day. Can you cross all to slow the

"They wouldn't say lying, but they are using words in ways that nobody else defines those words in order to justify what it is that they're doing. And again, that gets to the problem. If you want to do this, be public about it, explain exactly what you're doing, explain how it's justified or how it's authorized by the law. And then let's have a debate about it. Then let's have a conversation about it. But that's not what we have. Maybe right to the members of the gang of 8, Mike Turner, Jim heims, Mark Warner, Marco Rubio, Kevin McCarthy, Jefferies, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell and say, ask some tough questions. We the people don't want this blank check to continue. When is the renewal up this year? At the end of this year. Okay. I forget if it's December 31st, but it's towards the end of this year. Actually, interestingly, the UK is looking at something called the online safety Bill, which would basically they don't admit it, but it would ban end to end encryption. It would at least have to provide a backdoor in the folks at signal, said this week, that they walk away from the UK if that Bill undermined end to end encryption. Governments, especially the 5 eyes all over the world are, trying to break down this door to encryption. I, by the way, I owe an apology to the NSA, as wonderful as the site is, it is not their site. It's NSA dot gov one dot info. I should have known better looking at the URL. It is a parody site. But in a way, the parity strikes home. So I apologize. That is not the official NSA slogan. Did seem strange. I should have on the nose. Used my head, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think that a lot of times people talk about security whether encryption when it comes to encryption, they talk about the fact that right now they have an HD signal that is all like it's 1920 by ten 80 of all the information that people around them. And there's one pixel missing. They don't like those dark pixels. And they're like, I don't know what's going on in that dark pixel. And I want to have that opened up. And I do think that we do have to be careful of. As far as gathering it, as I said, I think that if the NSA is doing it overseas, I think that I think it's going to be very hard to stop. I don't know whether I agree with it or not, but I think it's going to be very hard to ever get anyone to rule on that. Because usually they bring up the cases that we can't see. Anyway, so but when it comes to starting to break down our encryption, I think that that is a big deal. What the UK is trying to do. We want to get rid of the encryption. It's one thing to collect it where by the time they get into it, it probably will be not doing that anymore. Whatever it was. But I think that taking apart the last little bit of us being able to keep our stuff encrypted if we choose to. I think is a big deal. WhatsApp, folks say they would refuse to lower security for any government. But unfortunately, I mean, as we've seen before, if a government requires it, you really don't have the choice. You either leave the country or comply, right? You can't leave the country. Yeah, you should leave. But I don't know, that's pretty draconian, too. And of course, the online safety bill is, as usual, raised the paper Tiger of protecting the children, but I think the people who want this are really much more about, let's see what's going on everywhere. Yeah, there are a lot of problems with the online safety Bill. It touches on a whole bunch of different things. And of course, it keeps changing. So it's a little hard to know what they're going to target. And so because of that, you'll have people say that it doesn't actually attack encryption. It sort of does so in an underhanded manner. And that's the way most of the online safety Bill actually works is this kind of vague language that which is effectively just don't do anything wrong and we won't bother you. And if you do something that we consider wrong, then the government will come and. Bring the hammer down. And the challenge is always that the intelligence agencies are highly technical, highly focused and know exactly what they want. And they're talking to legislators around the world that have no idea what they're talking about. In terms, it's hard to say no. If you're saying, look, we just want to catch pedophiles. It's hard as an elected official to say, well, no. I'm not in favor of that. So that's why they use that, right? Consider the children. This is what the home office, the British home office says, it's important that technology companies make every effort to ensure their platforms do not become a breeding ground for pedophiles. The online get this, talk about mealy meth. The online safety bill I should do this in a British accent. The online safety bill does not represent a ban on end to end encryption governor, but makes it clear that technological changes should not be implemented in a way that diminishes public safety, especially the safety of children online. And of course, now then they draw the line. Well, encryption does that. Diminishes the safety of children. But they say, it's not a choice between privacy or child safety. We can, and we must have both.

Doug officials are working to recover the high altitude unidentified object that was successfully shot down by the U.S. Military over Lake Huron in Michigan Sunday in a statement The Pentagon says the object's path and altitude raised concerns. And F-16 shot down the object, which was flying at about 20,000 feet over Michigan after it was detected Sunday morning, defense officials did not assess it to be a kinetic military threat to any one on the ground or anything, but datasets it that it was a safety flight hazard and a threat due to its potential surveillance capabilities. There are no indications of any civilians hurt, members of Congress on Sunday press for more information from the Biden administration about the mysterious airborne object shot down over North America by the U.S. Military on Friday and Saturday, representative Jim heims, the ranking Democrat of the House intelligence committee said on NBC's meet the press, he has real concerns about why the administration is not being more forthcoming with everything it knows, but he did acknowledge that the limited information is probably due in part to the second and third objects being shut down in remote areas over Alaska and Canada.

"President Biden is off to Camp David now for the weekend where he will be huddling with advisers on Russia and Ukraine and just breaking now on the terminal in the last hour Bloomberg news reporting President Biden will speak tomorrow with Vladimir Putin We are living in interesting times and I want to be explicit we are not dealing with third party information tonight We are only bringing you news reported directly by Bloomberg There is just too much stuff flying around at the moment that can not be verified and we encourage you to be careful with where you're getting your information White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan brief reporters today made clear in the briefing room That Russians could take offensive military action against Ukraine as soon as next week here he is We can't pinpoint the day at this point And we can't pinpoint the hour But what we can say is that there is a credible prospect that a Russian military action would take place even before the end of the Olympics Recalling reports that president Xi asked Vladimir Putin to hold off on any invasion until after the Beijing Olympics remember that a couple of weeks ago will maybe not Although Sullivan also stressed what we do not know Here he is again We are not saying that a decision has been taken A final decision has been taken by president Putin What we are saying is that we have a sufficient level of concern based on what we are seeing on the ground and what our intelligence analysts have picked up That we are sending this clear message And now Bloomberg news is also reporting the U.S. is ordering an additional 3000 troops to stand ground in Poland that makes for a total increase of 5000 troops in that country where defending our NATO allies is the mission The State Department is warning Americans to get out of Ukraine You've heard that as Russian assault Jake Sullivan says would likely begin with an aerial bombing Maybe missile attacks that could bring civilian casualties That is where we begin our conversation With congressman Jim hymes Democrat from Connecticut he serves on the permanent select committee on intelligence and congressman from one nutmeg or another welcome Do you believe that Vladimir Putin is aiming for war Well it sure looks that way Joe And I think you characterized it correctly I don't know that we know that a decision has been taken A coincidentally I was just on a call with the deputy Secretary of State I don't have any reason to believe that Putin has taken that decision But what he has done over the course of the last couple of weeks is to put himself in the position that if he says go minutes later artillery will be flying in tanks could be crossing the border And that's the position he's put himself in So he's created a very very dangerous situation And we may not know that the decision has been taken until as I said there are tanks on the move or artillery or missiles flying over the border Jeez Jake Sullivan reiterated the belief that Putin could stage a false flag operation to create a pretext for war Congressman how would our intelligence community be able to tell the difference to confirm such an operation Well this is sort of part of the Russian playbook And it was remarkable to see the intelligence community describe that plan a couple of weeks ago with the idea that it would take some of the credibility out of whatever it is You'll recall that the idea was that the Russians would stage an attack they would use cadavers to show graphic images of people who had died at the hands of the Ukrainians Putin is almost entirely shameless but he's not a 100% shameless And to this moment he is denying that he has the intent to attack And so you would expect to see some staged provocation that he can point to and say hey I had no intention to attack and then XYZ happened So that's likely the way this looks Do you like the way The White House has tried to stay ahead of this talking about the movie talking about a possible false flag operation trying to get this stuff out there before it happens Yes I think remember the whole mission right now is to create as much deterrence as possible And that's why you've seen a steady flow of weaponry from NATO allies from the United States trainers on the ground to raise the cost to Putin of an invasion That's why you've seen very explicit and specific descriptions of the sanctions that will be imposed That's why you saw the president and the Europeans say that Nord stream two is over If Putin crosses the line there because right now the entire game is to create enough deterrence so that Putin says all right I may be ready to go but the cost of doing so just aren't worth it Are you confident we have the assets on the ground to deliver accurate intelligence as this is unfolding Well I obviously can't get into specifics in that regard but we are working very closely with the Ukrainian supporting them as best we can We don't have our military with the exception of some trainers on the ground down there So we don't obviously have the same sort of functional alliance that we would have with a NATO ally But one of the things we can do to make this very very costly to Vladimir Putin is to make sure that the Ukrainians know what we know And obviously we've gotten off a lot of capability to know what's going on inside the Russian military as they move troops around as they move equipment around Our capabilities will make that much more devastating for Vladimir Putin than it would otherwise be You do not want to see a military answer if there is an invasion correct You're a pure sanctions congressman when it comes to this You don't want to see the United States military get involved in anything beyond a defensive posture Well regardless of what I think a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be just devastating Thousands of dead thousands of Ukrainians innocent Ukrainian civilian Ukrainians would die For what So the Vladimir Putin can flex his muscle and sort of pursue some vision of a grand new Russia I mean is that where we are in the 21st century where an autocrat like Putin gets to kill thousands of people Now are we going to go to war To stop Russia you heard the national security adviser very clearly as a member of Congress I can tell you my constituents would not support that But we're going to do all that we can to make sure that Putin if he does this he pays that he pays a dramatic cost We're talking with congressman Jim heim's Democrat from Connecticut I know you also chair the select committee on economic.
