The chrostian nationalists dont care about babies! Or raped women or pregnancy emergencies. Abortion is a potent emotional issue being used by powerful people to maintain and enlarge their power over your lives for their own good, not yours. And it started way back when there was a realization that black/brown citizens might finally be waking up to their own power. Read Rachel Maddow’s book Prequel about nazism in the highest realms of US gov jn the early 20th century. Exact script as today; just change the names.

It was so painful to listen to this podcast, which I heard in the wee hours on Spotify. Democrats should run ads in red states publicizing Russia's crimes. Hearing about children being raped to death couldn't help but encourage popular support for Ukraine. Love of babies--that's supposed to be why they oppose abortion. Here's a chance to make those empty words mean something.

Deeply effective.

Simply ask the U.K. about Neville Chamberlain. You can’t appease people like Putin with pease. It only encourages further aggression. But then again, Trump would have us become a puppet state to Russia, like his other good buddy country of Hungry.

Our damn country learns nothing. Over and over again we fail to learn.

Steve, is there a way we can help this single Mom? Let us know.

This information via this podcast should be given to President Biden exactly as it unfolds . How dare these Maga deviates celebrate Putin the Pig and Trump is equally disgusting playing with this garbage .

Tucker Carlson is more filth . And has offered himself up to be used by the Russians he should be hung for treason . As well as these Maga Republicans and their cult leader Trump.

Take these things seriously and spread the information across the board. Accordingly the Congressional attempt to link these funds to immigration , when they’ve refused to act on behalf of real change to the laws because this Republican Congress ( barely) is too damn tied up in sucking up to trump to know their asses from a hole in the wall . They’ve done nothing positive at all and should be removed from Congress as soon as feasible. Also the traitors in the Senate must be removed . Ron Johnson is implicated in the January 6 th mess as well as traveling to Russia for the Fourth of July with his accomplices to suck up to the other criminal

President Putin. No wonder Trump and Putin have an affinity for each other . They are both dirty criminals who exist to destroy anything that interferes with their agendas. It’s all about them .

It’s a terminal disease of the ego .

We can only hope they’re stopped .

We must do everything we can to help Ukraine in their fight against Putin .

It’s the morally right thing to do . Tell the Magas and their twisted leaders to stand down . * because I feel like using two other words , F. Off

Sections of this interview concerning 90000 women being raped, also children raped until death and young boys penises being chopped off is something I wish I could unhear. But alas not possible so I will harness the knowledge of that horror into action. I will donate to UNITED 24 safe skies initiative providing Ukraine with the drone technology to shoot down Russian missiles. This group is endorsed by Tim Snyder, Yale historian specializing in Ukraine, Eastern Europe and WW2. I will also call Mike Johnson with this information and see if his biblical viewpoint will allow him to support aid for Ukraine. I'll call others too when they get back from holidays fortunately they did not have to run and duck bombs. My 2 north stars on Ukraine are Lt General Ben Hodges and Tim Snyder would love to see them on a Steve podcast.

I have donated a couple of times to United24. One time, it never finalized in payment from my end. It went thru other times. It is a really neat project. I see it as an investment for our own security. My own wish list includes President Zelenskyy and President Biden to be on with Steve Schmidt. They both are tough enough for Steve Schmidt to test their mettle. It would be an amazing show.

I donate what I can afford to United 24 monthly. When the war first began I donated to monthly to several groups providing aid in Ukraine but now all my money goes to United 24.

This is a breathtaking interview. Heartrending and eye opening. You have mastered the art of taking your readers to the battle ground. We must all answer for ourselves in this historical moment whether we have done our parts and if we are on the right side of history.

In the following video, the no-nonsense commander named Kyivan explained how effective and powerful even the older American Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the Abram main battle tanks are in defining the frontline battles in Ukraine. To the effect that he thinks even if they have to reallocate funds to buy the vehicles themselves it will be worth it. Any amount of time delayed allows Putin to sharpen his attack on Ukraine with more ferocity. He rained down over 150 missiles and drones in one night over the entire Ukraine in recent days. He came from all angles and used ballistic missiles with multi-flared warheads capable of fooling the most advanced anti missile system. He also bombed his own city Belgorod and killed his own citizens as well, in broad day light with his failed S400 Russian air defense system. The more time Putin gets the more destructive and the more costly to counter his expansionist ambition. Only fools like Mike Johnson and Donald Trump would consider delaying or canceling the Ukraine support by the US. It is a deadly and extremely dangerous move for all of us. https://youtu.be/h218qhGjwio?si=9lJ5KrbNcsg9wwRJ

Excellent thank you

Steve,

You have spoken so often about indifference..I would add the easy to see foreknowledge of what comes beyond Ukraine if we pause support to them is staggering..As you and Mr. Smart laid out..The indifference of these people like Johnson, Greene, et.al. who claim to be Christians are the poster children for indifference..They are nowhere near Christian, but rather Fascist Christian Nationalists..

I must say, I’m embarrassed that I had not watched and listened to this conversation with Jason Smart back when it was posted..There must be a greater incentive that will motivate the Mike Johnson’s of the Congress and Senate to move quickly to fund the continued arming of Ukraine..independent of this lie that Fentanyl is flowing across the border by asylum seekers bullshit. The gloves must come off and these people must be made an offer they can’t refuse..I have said this before, many think it’s just hyperbole..It only is until you make it happen, then it becomes punching the bully in the face breaking their nose and knocking out a few teeth..It must be done..

Over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, Russia poured down over a hundred missiles and drones. Mostly on civilians but also on frontline soldiers. Because Ukraine has not yet acquired the more advanced attack aircrafts to respond, there are a few great losses among the causalities at the frontline. United States and democratic allies must remember that every one of those great fighters lost is one less soldier standing guard defending the western democracy today. We must speed up and also intensify the military support to Ukraine while they still have a chance to overtake Putin once and for all.
