Full Hour | To lead off today’s third hour, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the situation unfolding in Ukraine. Yesterday, Fitzpatrick sent out a press release, writing, “As we have done before with other rogue powers, it is time for the United States to send a clear message: if Russia insists on directly violating the sovereignty of another state and jeopardizing global security, there will be severe and sweeping economic consequences. President Biden’s strategy of restraint and ‘invasion first, sanctions later’ is no longer an effective means of deterring Putin’s aggression and imminent full-scale invasion of Ukraine. No more half-measures. We need to impose immediate, crippling sanctions that strike at the heart of Putin’s corrupt regime and the Russian economy, bring about a permanent end to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and remove Russia from the SWIFT international banking and payments system.” Fitzpatrick explains why he feels that this could help bring peace to the region, and tells why economic sanctions are the best way to push back against the Russian invasion.
Then, after playing today’s Money Melody, Dom circles back to the anti-American rhetoric coming from both the Left and the Right, bringing back up a tweet made by Candace Owens that suggests that Americans are at fault for being the aggressors in wars through history. Then, Giordano brings up comments made by a Representative from Arizona centered on the potential truck convoy protesting mandates in the US, who noted that trucks should be seized and given to smaller truck companies.
