Putin is once again attempting to restore the Soviet Union and, according to experts, could be poised to roll tanks into Ukraine as early as January. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to illustrate how the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a physical manifestation of Putin’s imperial ambitions and break down the concrete measures Joe Biden could, but won’t, take to prevent another American foreign policy disaster. Plus, in case you missed it, the Democratic plan to draft America’s daughters is foiled once again, Jimmy Kimmel proves himself to be a sore loser (who’s surprised?), and the January 6 commission is exposed as a kangaroo court.
