[00:30] Europe Faces Winter of Discontent as Russia Wins Energy War (27 minutes)
During his presidency, Donald Trump scolded Germany for being too dependent on Russia for fuel. At the time, German leaders laughed—but they aren’t laughing now. Europe is facing a major energy crisis this winter. Putin-led Russia has used its chokehold on European energy to cut off a third of Europe’s gas supplies, sending prices through the roof. Britain is facing the possibility of having to shut down 60 percent of its manufacturing because of energy shortages. Despite pundits’ claims that Russia lost the war in Ukraine last week, Putin is now mobilizing Russia’s reserves and hinting at the possibility of using nuclear weapons against Ukraine and its supporters in the West.
[27:40] U.S. Border Crisis Continues (16 minutes)
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin has become one of the White House’s least favorite journalists because he exposes what is actually happening on America’s southern border. Yesterday, he reported that 78 illegal immigrants on the U.S. terror watchlist have been arrested crossing the border so far in 2022. Because Florida Governor Ron DeSantis brought the border crisis into the public eye by flying 48 Venezuelans to Martha’s Vineyard, a group of leftist lawyers is trying to prosecute him for making “numerous false promises” to the migrants. DeSantis is reportedly preparing to fly another group of migrants to Delaware, not far from Joe Biden’s vacation home, and the reporters are already gathering to capture the “crime” on camera—but these same reporters couldn’t care less about the real crisis on the southern border.
