Hannity Plays a Video of Trump Slamming NATO Leaders Dependence on Russian Oil; ‘You Think Biden Could Do That?’

Hannity Of course Biden ░░░░░░░░ announce new sanctions today ░░░░░░░░ as one top Russian ░░░░░░░░ put it Moscow doesn ░░░░░░░░ give an Adam Schiff ░░░░░░░░ any sanctions And why ░░░░░░░░ they Russia s main ░░░░░░░░ of revenue is in ░░░░░░░░ form of the production ░░░░░░░░ oil and gas China ░░░░░░░░ buy a tremendous amount ░░░░░░░░ this gas and so ░░░░░░░░ western Europe our allies ░░░░░░░░ we re not producing ░░░░░░░░ for them and making ░░░░░░░░ and creating jobs and ░░░░░░░░ this 40 year high ░░░░░░░░ inflation Make no mistake ░░░░░░░░ oil and gas will ░░░░░░░░ to flow no matter ░░░░░░░░ Russia does in Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ fact much of Europe ░░░░░░░░ Germany they are dependent ░░░░░░░░ Russian oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ is a big part ░░░░░░░░ this problem Last year ░░░░░░░░ America our country Joe ░░░░░░░░ s first year in ░░░░░░░░ imported a whopping 230 ░░░░░░░░ barrels of oil from ░░░░░░░░ Putin s Russia Joe ░░░░░░░░ been begging Russia OPEC ░░░░░░░░ and being rejected repeatedly ░░░░░░░░ produce more oil to ░░░░░░░░ down the price of ░░░░░░░░ and the price of ░░░░░░░░ gallon of gasoline We ░░░░░░░░ more than they have ░░░░░░░░ Don t We produce ░░░░░░░░ ourselves Joe This is ░░░░░░░░ This is insanity For ░░░░░░░░ many of the world ░░░░░░░░ leaders have been perfectly ░░░░░░░░ to make Putin and ░░░░░░░░ rich again and a ░░░░░░░░ supply of energy available ░░░░░░░░ all Now in 2018 ░░░░░░░░ we re about to ░░░░░░░░ you is an epic ░░░░░░░░ to face complete beatdown ░░░░░░░░ then President Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ European leaders getting right ░░░░░░░░ their face for their ░░░░░░░░ on Russia for their ░░░░░░░░ helping make Russia rich ░░░░░░░░ while we pay the ░░░░░░░░ for NATO to protect ░░░░░░░░ from Russia It s ░░░░░░░░ long clip It s ░░░░░░░░ watching While you re ░░░░░░░░ ask yourself Do you ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden could ever ░░░░░░░░ capable of this level ░░░░░░░░ passionate fighting for what ░░░░░░░░ in our country s ░░░░░░░░ interest Here is the ░░░░░░░░ exchange Clip starts Trump ░░░░░░░░ think it s very ░░░░░░░░ when Germany makes a ░░░░░░░░ oil and gas deal ░░░░░░░░ Russia where you are ░░░░░░░░ to be guarding against ░░░░░░░░ and Germany goes out ░░░░░░░░ pays billions and billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars a year to ░░░░░░░░ So we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ we are protecting France ░░░░░░░░ are protecting all of ░░░░░░░░ countries and then numerous ░░░░░░░░ the countries go out ░░░░░░░░ make a pipeline deal ░░░░░░░░ Russia where they are ░░░░░░░░ billions of dollars into ░░░░░░░░ coffers of Russia So ░░░░░░░░ re supposed to protect ░░░░░░░░ against Russia but they ░░░░░░░░ paying billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ Russia I think that ░░░░░░░░ very inappropriate And the ░░░░░░░░ chancellor of Germany is ░░░░░░░░ head of the pipeline ░░░░░░░░ that s supplying the ░░░░░░░░ Ultimately Germany will have ░░░░░░░░ 70 of their country ░░░░░░░░ by Russia with natural ░░░░░░░░ So you tell me ░░░░░░░░ that appropriate I ve ░░░░░░░░ complaining about this from ░░░░░░░░ time I got in ░░░░░░░░ It should have never ░░░░░░░░ allowed to happen Germany ░░░░░░░░ totally controlled by Russia ░░░░░░░░ they will get 60 ░░░░░░░░ of their energy from ░░░░░░░░ and a new pipeline ░░░░░░░░ tell me if that ░░░░░░░░ appropriate because I think ░░░░░░░░ s not And I ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ thing for NATO and ░░░░░░░░ don t think it ░░░░░░░░ have happened I think ░░░░░░░░ have to talk to ░░░░░░░░ about it On top ░░░░░░░░ that Germany is just ░░░░░░░░ a little bit over ░░░░░░░░ whereas the United States ░░░░░░░░ actual numbers is paying ░░░░░░░░ 2 of a much ░░░░░░░░ GDP So I think ░░░░░░░░ is inappropriate also You ░░░░░░░░ we are protecting Germany ░░░░░░░░ are protecting France we ░░░░░░░░ protecting everybody and yet ░░░░░░░░ are paying a lot ░░░░░░░░ money to protect This ░░░░░░░░ been going on for ░░░░░░░░ This has been brought ░░░░░░░░ by other presidents but ░░░░░░░░ presidents never did anything ░░░░░░░░ it because I don ░░░░░░░░ think they understood it ░░░░░░░░ they just didn t ░░░░░░░░ to get involved But ░░░░░░░░ have to bring it ░░░░░░░░ because I think it ░░░░░░░░ very unfair to our ░░░░░░░░ and very unfair to ░░░░░░░░ taxpayers I think that ░░░░░░░░ countries have to step ░░░░░░░░ up not over a ░░░░░░░░ year period they have ░░░░░░░░ step it up immediately ░░░░░░░░ is a rich country ░░░░░░░░ talk about they re ░░░░░░░░ to increase it just ░░░░░░░░ tiny bit by 2030 ░░░░░░░░ they could increase it ░░░░░░░░ tomorrow and have no ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ s fair to the ░░░░░░░░ States So we ll ░░░░░░░░ to do something because ░░░░░░░░ are not going to ░░░░░░░░ up with it We ░░░░░░░░ t put up with ░░░░░░░░ and it s inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ we have to talk ░░░░░░░░ the billions and billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars that s being ░░░░░░░░ to the country that ░░░░░░░░ re supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ you against You know ░░░░░░░░ is talking about it ░░░░░░░░ over the world They ░░░░░░░░ saying Wait a minute ░░░░░░░░ re supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ you from Russia but ░░░░░░░░ are you paying billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars to Russia for ░░░░░░░░ Why are countries in ░░░░░░░░ mainly Germany having a ░░░░░░░░ percentage of their energy ░░░░░░░░ paid to Russia and ░░░░░░░░ care of by Russia ░░░░░░░░ when you look at ░░░░░░░░ Germany is the captive ░░░░░░░░ Russia because they supply ░░░░░░░░ They got rid of ░░░░░░░░ coal plants they got ░░░░░░░░ of their nuclear They ░░░░░░░░ getting so much of ░░░░░░░░ oil and gas from ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ that NATO has to ░░░░░░░░ at I think it ░░░░░░░░ very inappropriate You and ░░░░░░░░ agree that it s ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ you can do about ░░░░░░░░ now but it certainly ░░░░░░░░ t seem to make ░░░░░░░░ that they pay billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars to Russia and ░░░░░░░░ we have to defend ░░░░░░░░ against Russia STOLTENBERG You ░░░░░░░░ NATO is alliance of ░░░░░░░░ nations and there are ░░░░░░░░ differences and different views ░░░░░░░░ also some disagreements the ░░░░░░░░ pipeline from Russia to ░░░░░░░░ is one issue where ░░░░░░░░ disagree But the strength ░░░░░░░░ NATO is that despite ░░░░░░░░ differences we have always ░░░░░░░░ able to unite around ░░░░░░░░ common cause to protect ░░░░░░░░ defend each other We ░░░░░░░░ we are stronger together ░░░░░░░░ apart I think that ░░░░░░░░ two world wars and ░░░░░░░░ Cold War taught us ░░░░░░░░ we are stronger together ░░░░░░░░ apart Trump But how ░░░░░░░░ you be together when ░░░░░░░░ country is getting its ░░░░░░░░ from the person you ░░░░░░░░ protection against or from ░░░░░░░░ group that you want ░░░░░░░░ against STOLTENBERG Because we ░░░░░░░░ that when we stand ░░░░░░░░ also when dealing with ░░░░░░░░ we are stronger I ░░░░░░░░ what we have seen ░░░░░░░░ that Trump No you ░░░░░░░░ just making Russia richer ░░░░░░░░ re not dealing with ░░░░░░░░ you re making Russia ░░░░░░░░ STOLTENBERG I think that ░░░░░░░░ during the Cold War ░░░░░░░░ allies were trading with ░░░░░░░░ There have been disagreements ░░░░░░░░ what kind of trade ░░░░░░░░ we should Trump I ░░░░░░░░ trade is wonderful I ░░░░░░░░ energy is a whole ░░░░░░░░ story I think energy ░░░░░░░░ a much different story ░░░░░░░░ normal trade And you ░░░░░░░░ a country like Poland ░░░░░░░░ won t accept the ░░░░░░░░ You take a look ░░░░░░░░ some of the countries ░░░░░░░░ won t accept it ░░░░░░░░ they don t want ░░░░░░░░ be captive to Russia ░░░░░░░░ as far as I ░░░░░░░░ concerned is captive to ░░░░░░░░ because it s getting ░░░░░░░░ much of its energy ░░░░░░░░ Russia So we are ░░░░░░░░ to protect Germany but ░░░░░░░░ are getting their energy ░░░░░░░░ Russia Explain that And ░░░░░░░░ can t be explained ░░░░░░░░ know that Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ President did that with ░░░░░░░░ notes right in the ░░░░░░░░ of the leader of ░░░░░░░░ You think Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ do that Former Secretary ░░░░░░░░ State Mike Pompeo who ░░░░░░░░ just saw in that ░░░░░░░░ will have more on ░░░░░░░░ exchange later in the ░░░░░░░░ tonight But clearly Trump ░░░░░░░░ absolutely dead on accurate ░░░░░░░░ compare that to Joe ░░░░░░░░ a self proclaimed tough ░░░░░░░░ foreign policy expert he ░░░░░░░░ go toe to toe ░░░░░░░░ Putin he promised to ░░░░░░░░ Putin in his tracks ░░░░░░░░ today Biden could barely ░░░░░░░░ a coherent sentence as ░░░░░░░░ usual and was unwilling ░░░░░░░░ unable to respond to ░░░░░░░░ questions about Vladimir Take ░░░░░░░░ look Hannity Of course ░░░░░░░░ did announce new sanctions ░░░░░░░░ but as one top ░░░░░░░░ diplomat put it Moscow ░░░░░░░░ t give an Adam ░░░░░░░░ about any sanctions And ░░░░░░░░ would they Russia s ░░░░░░░░ source of revenue is ░░░░░░░░ the form of the ░░░░░░░░ of oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ they buy a tremendous ░░░░░░░░ of this gas and ░░░░░░░░ does western Europe our ░░░░░░░░ because we re not ░░░░░░░░ it for them and ░░░░░░░░ money and creating jobs ░░░░░░░░ lowering this 40 year ░░░░░░░░ of inflation Make no ░░░░░░░░ that oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ continue to flow no ░░░░░░░░ what Russia does in ░░░░░░░░ In fact much of ░░░░░░░░ especially Germany they are ░░░░░░░░ on Russian oil and ░░░░░░░░ which is a big ░░░░░░░░ of this problem Last ░░░░░░░░ even America our country ░░░░░░░░ Biden s first year ░░░░░░░░ office imported a whopping ░░░░░░░░ million barrels of oil ░░░░░░░░ Russia Putin s Russia ░░░░░░░░ has been begging Russia ░░░░░░░░ repeatedly and being rejected ░░░░░░░░ to produce more oil ░░░░░░░░ drive down the price ░░░░░░░░ oil and the price ░░░░░░░░ a gallon of gasoline ░░░░░░░░ have more than they ░░░░░░░░ Why Don t We ░░░░░░░░ it ourselves Joe This ░░░░░░░░ madness This is insanity ░░░░░░░░ years many of the ░░░░░░░░ s leaders have been ░░░░░░░░ happy to make Putin ░░░░░░░░ Russia rich again and ░░░░░░░░ cheap supply of energy ░░░░░░░░ for all Now in ░░░░░░░░ what we re about ░░░░░░░░ show you is an ░░░░░░░░ face to face complete ░░░░░░░░ with then President Donald ░░░░░░░░ rebuking European leaders getting ░░░░░░░░ in their face for ░░░░░░░░ dependence on Russia for ░░░░░░░░ energy helping make Russia ░░░░░░░░ again while we pay ░░░░░░░░ bill for NATO to ░░░░░░░░ them from Russia It ░░░░░░░░ a long clip It ░░░░░░░░ worth watching While you ░░░░░░░░ watching ask yourself Do ░░░░░░░░ think Joe Biden could ░░░░░░░░ be capable of this ░░░░░░░░ of passionate fighting for ░░░░░░░░ is in our country ░░░░░░░░ best interest Here is ░░░░░░░░ full exchange Clip starts ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ sad when Germany makes ░░░░░░░░ massive oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ with Russia where you ░░░░░░░░ supposed to be guarding ░░░░░░░░ Russia and Germany goes ░░░░░░░░ and pays billions and ░░░░░░░░ of dollars a year ░░░░░░░░ Russia So we are ░░░░░░░░ Germany we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ we are protecting all ░░░░░░░░ these countries and then ░░░░░░░░ of the countries go ░░░░░░░░ and make a pipeline ░░░░░░░░ with Russia where they ░░░░░░░░ paying billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ the coffers of Russia ░░░░░░░░ we re supposed to ░░░░░░░░ you against Russia but ░░░░░░░░ are paying billions of ░░░░░░░░ to Russia I think ░░░░░░░░ s very inappropriate And ░░░░░░░░ former chancellor of Germany ░░░░░░░░ the head of the ░░░░░░░░ company that s supplying ░░░░░░░░ gas Ultimately Germany will ░░░░░░░░ almost 70 of their ░░░░░░░░ controlled by Russia with ░░░░░░░░ gas So you tell ░░░░░░░░ is that appropriate I ░░░░░░░░ been complaining about this ░░░░░░░░ the time I got ░░░░░░░░ here It should have ░░░░░░░░ been allowed to happen ░░░░░░░░ is totally controlled by ░░░░░░░░ because they will get ░░░░░░░░ 70 of their energy ░░░░░░░░ Russia and a new ░░░░░░░░ You tell me if ░░░░░░░░ is appropriate because I ░░░░░░░░ it s not And ░░░░░░░░ think it s a ░░░░░░░░ bad thing for NATO ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ should have happened I ░░░░░░░░ we have to talk ░░░░░░░░ Germany about it On ░░░░░░░░ of that Germany is ░░░░░░░░ paying a little bit ░░░░░░░░ 1 whereas the United ░░░░░░░░ in actual numbers is ░░░░░░░░ 4 2 of a ░░░░░░░░ larger GDP So I ░░░░░░░░ that is inappropriate also ░░░░░░░░ know we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ we are protecting France ░░░░░░░░ are protecting everybody and ░░░░░░░░ we are paying a ░░░░░░░░ of money to protect ░░░░░░░░ has been going on ░░░░░░░░ decades This has been ░░░░░░░░ up by other presidents ░░░░░░░░ other presidents never did ░░░░░░░░ about it because I ░░░░░░░░ t think they understood ░░░░░░░░ or they just didn ░░░░░░░░ want to get involved ░░░░░░░░ I have to bring ░░░░░░░░ up because I think ░░░░░░░░ s very unfair to ░░░░░░░░ country and very unfair ░░░░░░░░ our taxpayers I think ░░░░░░░░ these countries have to ░░░░░░░░ it up not over ░░░░░░░░ 10 year period they ░░░░░░░░ to step it up ░░░░░░░░ Germany is a rich ░░░░░░░░ They talk about they ░░░░░░░░ going to increase it ░░░░░░░░ a tiny bit by ░░░░░░░░ Well they could increase ░░░░░░░░ immediately tomorrow and have ░░░░░░░░ problem I don t ░░░░░░░░ it s fair to ░░░░░░░░ United States So we ░░░░░░░░ have to do something ░░░░░░░░ we are not going ░░░░░░░░ put up with it ░░░░░░░░ can t put up ░░░░░░░░ it and it s ░░░░░░░░ So we have to ░░░░░░░░ about the billions and ░░░░░░░░ of dollars that s ░░░░░░░░ paid to the country ░░░░░░░░ we re supposed to ░░░░░░░░ protecting you against You ░░░░░░░░ everybody is talking about ░░░░░░░░ all over the world ░░░░░░░░ re saying Wait a ░░░░░░░░ we re supposed to ░░░░░░░░ protecting you from Russia ░░░░░░░░ why are you paying ░░░░░░░░ of dollars to Russia ░░░░░░░░ energy Why are countries ░░░░░░░░ NATO mainly Germany having ░░░░░░░░ large percentage of their ░░░░░░░░ needs paid to Russia ░░░░░░░░ taken care of by ░░░░░░░░ Now when you look ░░░░░░░░ it Germany is the ░░░░░░░░ of Russia because they ░░░░░░░░ it They got rid ░░░░░░░░ their coal plants they ░░░░░░░░ rid of their nuclear ░░░░░░░░ are getting so much ░░░░░░░░ the oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ Russia I think it ░░░░░░░░ something that NATO has ░░░░░░░░ look at I think ░░░░░░░░ s very inappropriate You ░░░░░░░░ I agree that it ░░░░░░░░ inappropriate I don t ░░░░░░░░ what you can do ░░░░░░░░ it now but it ░░░░░░░░ doesn t seem to ░░░░░░░░ sense that they pay ░░░░░░░░ of dollars to Russia ░░░░░░░░ now we have to ░░░░░░░░ them against Russia STOLTENBERG ░░░░░░░░ know NATO is alliance ░░░░░░░░ 29 nations and there ░░░░░░░░ sometimes differences and different ░░░░░░░░ and also some disagreements ░░░░░░░░ gas pipeline from Russia ░░░░░░░░ Germany is one issue ░░░░░░░░ allies disagree But the ░░░░░░░░ of NATO is that ░░░░░░░░ these differences we have ░░░░░░░░ been able to unite ░░░░░░░░ our common cause to ░░░░░░░░ and defend each other ░░░░░░░░ understand we are stronger ░░░░░░░░ than apart I think ░░░░░░░░ the two world wars ░░░░░░░░ the Cold War taught ░░░░░░░░ that we are stronger ░░░░░░░░ than apart Trump But ░░░░░░░░ can you be together ░░░░░░░░ a country is getting ░░░░░░░░ energy from the person ░░░░░░░░ want protection against or ░░░░░░░░ a group that you ░░░░░░░░ protection against STOLTENBERG Because ░░░░░░░░ understand that when we ░░░░░░░░ together also when dealing ░░░░░░░░ Russia we are stronger ░░░░░░░░ think what we have ░░░░░░░░ is that Trump No ░░░░░░░░ re just making Russia ░░░░░░░░ You re not dealing ░░░░░░░░ Russia you re making ░░░░░░░░ richer STOLTENBERG I think ░░░░░░░░ even during the Cold ░░░░░░░░ NATO allies were trading ░░░░░░░░ Russia There have been ░░░░░░░░ about what kind of ░░░░░░░░ arrangements we should Trump ░░░░░░░░ think trade is wonderful ░░░░░░░░ think energy is a ░░░░░░░░ different story I think ░░░░░░░░ is a much different ░░░░░░░░ than normal trade And ░░░░░░░░ have a country like ░░░░░░░░ that won t accept ░░░░░░░░ gas You take a ░░░░░░░░ at some of the ░░░░░░░░ they won t accept ░░░░░░░░ because they don t ░░░░░░░░ to be captive to ░░░░░░░░ Germany as far as ░░░░░░░░ m concerned is captive ░░░░░░░░ Russia because it s ░░░░░░░░ so much of its ░░░░░░░░ from Russia So we ░░░░░░░░ supposed to protect Germany ░░░░░░░░ they are getting their ░░░░░░░░ from Russia Explain that ░░░░░░░░ it can t be ░░░░░░░░ you know that Clip ░░░░░░░░ Hannity President did that ░░░░░░░░ no notes right in ░░░░░░░░ face of the leader ░░░░░░░░ NATO You think Joe ░░░░░░░░ could do that Former ░░░░░░░░ of State Mike Pompeo ░░░░░░░░ you just saw in ░░░░░░░░ video will have more ░░░░░░░░ that exchange later in ░░░░░░░░ show tonight But clearly ░░░░░░░░ was absolutely dead on ░░░░░░░░ Now compare that to ░░░░░░░░ Biden a self proclaimed ░░░░░░░░ guy foreign policy expert ░░░░░░░░ can go toe to ░░░░░░░░ with Putin he promised ░░░░░░░░ stop Putin in his ░░░░░░░░ Well today Biden could ░░░░░░░░ form a coherent sentence ░░░░░░░░ per usual and was ░░░░░░░░ and unable to respond ░░░░░░░░ any questions about Vladimir ░░░░░░░░ a look Hannity Of ░░░░░░░░ Biden did announce new ░░░░░░░░ today but as one ░░░░░░░░ Russian diplomat put it ░░░░░░░░ doesn t give an ░░░░░░░░ Schiff about any sanctions ░░░░░░░░ why would they Russia ░░░░░░░░ main source of revenue ░░░░░░░░ in the form of ░░░░░░░░ production of oil and ░░░░░░░░ China they buy a ░░░░░░░░ amount of this gas ░░░░░░░░ so does western Europe ░░░░░░░░ allies because we re ░░░░░░░░ producing it for them ░░░░░░░░ making money and creating ░░░░░░░░ and lowering this 40 ░░░░░░░░ high of inflation Make ░░░░░░░░ mistake that oil and ░░░░░░░░ will continue to flow ░░░░░░░░ matter what Russia does ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine In fact much ░░░░░░░░ Europe especially Germany they ░░░░░░░░ dependent on Russian oil ░░░░░░░░ gas which is a ░░░░░░░░ part of this problem ░░░░░░░░ year even America our ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden s first ░░░░░░░░ in office imported a ░░░░░░░░ 230 million barrels of ░░░░░░░░ from Russia Putin s ░░░░░░░░ Joe has been begging ░░░░░░░░ OPEC repeatedly and being ░░░░░░░░ repeatedly to produce more ░░░░░░░░ to drive down the ░░░░░░░░ of oil and the ░░░░░░░░ of a gallon of ░░░░░░░░ We have more than ░░░░░░░░ have Why Don t ░░░░░░░░ produce it ourselves Joe ░░░░░░░░ is madness This is ░░░░░░░░ For years many of ░░░░░░░░ world s leaders have ░░░░░░░░ perfectly happy to make ░░░░░░░░ and Russia rich again ░░░░░░░░ a cheap supply of ░░░░░░░░ available for all Now ░░░░░░░░ 2018 what we re ░░░░░░░░ to show you is ░░░░░░░░ epic face to face ░░░░░░░░ beatdown with then President ░░░░░░░░ Trump rebuking European leaders ░░░░░░░░ right in their face ░░░░░░░░ their dependence on Russia ░░░░░░░░ their energy helping make ░░░░░░░░ rich again while we ░░░░░░░░ the bill for NATO ░░░░░░░░ protect them from Russia ░░░░░░░░ s a long clip ░░░░░░░░ s worth watching While ░░░░░░░░ re watching ask yourself ░░░░░░░░ you think Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ ever be capable of ░░░░░░░░ level of passionate fighting ░░░░░░░░ what is in our ░░░░░░░░ s best interest Here ░░░░░░░░ the full exchange Clip ░░░░░░░░ Trump I think it ░░░░░░░░ very sad when Germany ░░░░░░░░ a massive oil and ░░░░░░░░ deal with Russia where ░░░░░░░░ are supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ against Russia and Germany ░░░░░░░░ out and pays billions ░░░░░░░░ billions of dollars a ░░░░░░░░ to Russia So we ░░░░░░░░ protecting Germany we are ░░░░░░░░ France we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ of these countries and ░░░░░░░░ numerous of the countries ░░░░░░░░ out and make a ░░░░░░░░ deal with Russia where ░░░░░░░░ are paying billions of ░░░░░░░░ into the coffers of ░░░░░░░░ So we re supposed ░░░░░░░░ protect you against Russia ░░░░░░░░ they are paying billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars to Russia I ░░░░░░░░ that s very inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ the former chancellor of ░░░░░░░░ is the head of ░░░░░░░░ pipeline company that s ░░░░░░░░ the gas Ultimately Germany ░░░░░░░░ have almost 70 of ░░░░░░░░ country controlled by Russia ░░░░░░░░ natural gas So you ░░░░░░░░ me is that appropriate ░░░░░░░░ ve been complaining about ░░░░░░░░ from the time I ░░░░░░░░ in here It should ░░░░░░░░ never been allowed to ░░░░░░░░ Germany is totally controlled ░░░░░░░░ Russia because they will ░░░░░░░░ 60 70 of their ░░░░░░░░ from Russia and a ░░░░░░░░ pipeline You tell me ░░░░░░░░ that is appropriate because ░░░░░░░░ think it s not ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ very bad thing for ░░░░░░░░ and I don t ░░░░░░░░ it should have happened ░░░░░░░░ think we have to ░░░░░░░░ to Germany about it ░░░░░░░░ top of that Germany ░░░░░░░░ just paying a little ░░░░░░░░ over 1 whereas the ░░░░░░░░ States in actual numbers ░░░░░░░░ paying 4 2 of ░░░░░░░░ much larger GDP So ░░░░░░░░ think that is inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ You know we are ░░░░░░░░ Germany we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ we are protecting everybody ░░░░░░░░ yet we are paying ░░░░░░░░ lot of money to ░░░░░░░░ This has been going ░░░░░░░░ for decades This has ░░░░░░░░ brought up by other ░░░░░░░░ but other presidents never ░░░░░░░░ anything about it because ░░░░░░░░ don t think they ░░░░░░░░ it or they just ░░░░░░░░ t want to get ░░░░░░░░ But I have to ░░░░░░░░ it up because I ░░░░░░░░ it s very unfair ░░░░░░░░ our country and very ░░░░░░░░ to our taxpayers I ░░░░░░░░ that these countries have ░░░░░░░░ step it up not ░░░░░░░░ a 10 year period ░░░░░░░░ have to step it ░░░░░░░░ immediately Germany is a ░░░░░░░░ country They talk about ░░░░░░░░ re going to increase ░░░░░░░░ just a tiny bit ░░░░░░░░ 2030 Well they could ░░░░░░░░ it immediately tomorrow and ░░░░░░░░ no problem I don ░░░░░░░░ think it s fair ░░░░░░░░ the United States So ░░░░░░░░ ll have to do ░░░░░░░░ because we are not ░░░░░░░░ to put up with ░░░░░░░░ We can t put ░░░░░░░░ with it and it ░░░░░░░░ inappropriate So we have ░░░░░░░░ talk about the billions ░░░░░░░░ billions of dollars that ░░░░░░░░ being paid to the ░░░░░░░░ that we re supposed ░░░░░░░░ be protecting you against ░░░░░░░░ know everybody is talking ░░░░░░░░ it all over the ░░░░░░░░ They re saying Wait ░░░░░░░░ minute we re supposed ░░░░░░░░ be protecting you from ░░░░░░░░ but why are you ░░░░░░░░ billions of dollars to ░░░░░░░░ for energy Why are ░░░░░░░░ in NATO mainly Germany ░░░░░░░░ a large percentage of ░░░░░░░░ energy needs paid to ░░░░░░░░ and taken care of ░░░░░░░░ Russia Now when you ░░░░░░░░ at it Germany is ░░░░░░░░ captive of Russia because ░░░░░░░░ supply it They got ░░░░░░░░ of their coal plants ░░░░░░░░ got rid of their ░░░░░░░░ They are getting so ░░░░░░░░ of the oil and ░░░░░░░░ from Russia I think ░░░░░░░░ s something that NATO ░░░░░░░░ to look at I ░░░░░░░░ it s very inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ and I agree that ░░░░░░░░ s inappropriate I don ░░░░░░░░ know what you can ░░░░░░░░ about it now but ░░░░░░░░ certainly doesn t seem ░░░░░░░░ make sense that they ░░░░░░░░ billions of dollars to ░░░░░░░░ and now we have ░░░░░░░░ defend them against Russia ░░░░░░░░ You know NATO is ░░░░░░░░ of 29 nations and ░░░░░░░░ are sometimes differences and ░░░░░░░░ views and also some ░░░░░░░░ the gas pipeline from ░░░░░░░░ to Germany is one ░░░░░░░░ where allies disagree But ░░░░░░░░ strength of NATO is ░░░░░░░░ despite these differences we ░░░░░░░░ always been able to ░░░░░░░░ around our common cause ░░░░░░░░ protect and defend each ░░░░░░░░ We understand we are ░░░░░░░░ together than apart I ░░░░░░░░ that the two world ░░░░░░░░ and the Cold War ░░░░░░░░ us that we are ░░░░░░░░ together than apart Trump ░░░░░░░░ how can you be ░░░░░░░░ when a country is ░░░░░░░░ its energy from the ░░░░░░░░ you want protection against ░░░░░░░░ from a group that ░░░░░░░░ want protection against STOLTENBERG ░░░░░░░░ we understand that when ░░░░░░░░ stand together also when ░░░░░░░░ with Russia we are ░░░░░░░░ I think what we ░░░░░░░░ seen is that Trump ░░░░░░░░ you re just making ░░░░░░░░ richer You re not ░░░░░░░░ with Russia you re ░░░░░░░░ Russia richer STOLTENBERG I ░░░░░░░░ that even during the ░░░░░░░░ War NATO allies were ░░░░░░░░ with Russia There have ░░░░░░░░ disagreements about what kind ░░░░░░░░ trade arrangements we should ░░░░░░░░ I think trade is ░░░░░░░░ I think energy is ░░░░░░░░ whole different story I ░░░░░░░░ energy is a much ░░░░░░░░ story than normal trade ░░░░░░░░ you have a country ░░░░░░░░ Poland that won t ░░░░░░░░ the gas You take ░░░░░░░░ look at some of ░░░░░░░░ countries they won t ░░░░░░░░ it because they don ░░░░░░░░ want to be captive ░░░░░░░░ Russia Germany as far ░░░░░░░░ I m concerned is ░░░░░░░░ to Russia because it ░░░░░░░░ getting so much of ░░░░░░░░ energy from Russia So ░░░░░░░░ are supposed to protect ░░░░░░░░ but they are getting ░░░░░░░░ energy from Russia Explain ░░░░░░░░ And it can t ░░░░░░░░ explained you know that ░░░░░░░░ ends Hannity President did ░░░░░░░░ with no notes right ░░░░░░░░ the face of the ░░░░░░░░ of NATO You think ░░░░░░░░ Biden could do that ░░░░░░░░ Secretary of State Mike ░░░░░░░░ who you just saw ░░░░░░░░ that video will have ░░░░░░░░ on that exchange later ░░░░░░░░ the show tonight But ░░░░░░░░ Trump was absolutely dead ░░░░░░░░ accurate Now compare that ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden a self ░░░░░░░░ tough guy foreign policy ░░░░░░░░ he can go toe ░░░░░░░░ toe with Putin he ░░░░░░░░ to stop Putin in ░░░░░░░░ tracks Well today Biden ░░░░░░░░ barely form a coherent ░░░░░░░░ as per usual and ░░░░░░░░ unwilling and unable to ░░░░░░░░ to any questions about ░░░░░░░░ Take a look Hannity ░░░░░░░░ course Biden did announce ░░░░░░░░ sanctions today but as ░░░░░░░░ top Russian diplomat put ░░░░░░░░ Moscow doesn t give ░░░░░░░░ Adam Schiff about any ░░░░░░░░ And why would they ░░░░░░░░ s main source of ░░░░░░░░ is in the form ░░░░░░░░ the production of oil ░░░░░░░░ gas China they buy ░░░░░░░░ tremendous amount of this ░░░░░░░░ and so does western ░░░░░░░░ our allies because we ░░░░░░░░ not producing it for ░░░░░░░░ and making money and ░░░░░░░░ jobs and lowering this ░░░░░░░░ year high of inflation ░░░░░░░░ no mistake that oil ░░░░░░░░ gas will continue to ░░░░░░░░ no matter what Russia ░░░░░░░░ in Ukraine In fact ░░░░░░░░ of Europe especially Germany ░░░░░░░░ are dependent on Russian ░░░░░░░░ and gas which is ░░░░░░░░ big part of this ░░░░░░░░ Last year even America ░░░░░░░░ country Joe Biden s ░░░░░░░░ year in office imported ░░░░░░░░ whopping 230 million barrels ░░░░░░░░ oil from Russia Putin ░░░░░░░░ Russia Joe has been ░░░░░░░░ Russia OPEC repeatedly and ░░░░░░░░ rejected repeatedly to produce ░░░░░░░░ oil to drive down ░░░░░░░░ price of oil and ░░░░░░░░ price of a gallon ░░░░░░░░ gasoline We have more ░░░░░░░░ they have Why Don ░░░░░░░░ We produce it ourselves ░░░░░░░░ This is madness This ░░░░░░░░ insanity For years many ░░░░░░░░ the world s leaders ░░░░░░░░ been perfectly happy to ░░░░░░░░ Putin and Russia rich ░░░░░░░░ and a cheap supply ░░░░░░░░ energy available for all ░░░░░░░░ in 2018 what we ░░░░░░░░ about to show you ░░░░░░░░ an epic face to ░░░░░░░░ complete beatdown with then ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump rebuking European ░░░░░░░░ getting right in their ░░░░░░░░ for their dependence on ░░░░░░░░ for their energy helping ░░░░░░░░ Russia rich again while ░░░░░░░░ pay the bill for ░░░░░░░░ to protect them from ░░░░░░░░ It s a long ░░░░░░░░ It s worth watching ░░░░░░░░ you re watching ask ░░░░░░░░ Do you think Joe ░░░░░░░░ could ever be capable ░░░░░░░░ this level of passionate ░░░░░░░░ for what is in ░░░░░░░░ country s best interest ░░░░░░░░ is the full exchange ░░░░░░░░ starts Trump I think ░░░░░░░░ s very sad when ░░░░░░░░ makes a massive oil ░░░░░░░░ gas deal with Russia ░░░░░░░░ you are supposed to ░░░░░░░░ guarding against Russia and ░░░░░░░░ goes out and pays ░░░░░░░░ and billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ year to Russia So ░░░░░░░░ are protecting Germany we ░░░░░░░░ protecting France we are ░░░░░░░░ all of these countries ░░░░░░░░ then numerous of the ░░░░░░░░ go out and make ░░░░░░░░ pipeline deal with Russia ░░░░░░░░ they are paying billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars into the coffers ░░░░░░░░ Russia So we re ░░░░░░░░ to protect you against ░░░░░░░░ but they are paying ░░░░░░░░ of dollars to Russia ░░░░░░░░ think that s very ░░░░░░░░ And the former chancellor ░░░░░░░░ Germany is the head ░░░░░░░░ the pipeline company that ░░░░░░░░ supplying the gas Ultimately ░░░░░░░░ will have almost 70 ░░░░░░░░ their country controlled by ░░░░░░░░ with natural gas So ░░░░░░░░ tell me is that ░░░░░░░░ I ve been complaining ░░░░░░░░ this from the time ░░░░░░░░ got in here It ░░░░░░░░ have never been allowed ░░░░░░░░ happen Germany is totally ░░░░░░░░ by Russia because they ░░░░░░░░ get 60 70 of ░░░░░░░░ energy from Russia and ░░░░░░░░ new pipeline You tell ░░░░░░░░ if that is appropriate ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ And I think it ░░░░░░░░ a very bad thing ░░░░░░░░ NATO and I don ░░░░░░░░ think it should have ░░░░░░░░ I think we have ░░░░░░░░ talk to Germany about ░░░░░░░░ On top of that ░░░░░░░░ is just paying a ░░░░░░░░ bit over 1 whereas ░░░░░░░░ United States in actual ░░░░░░░░ is paying 4 2 ░░░░░░░░ a much larger GDP ░░░░░░░░ I think that is ░░░░░░░░ also You know we ░░░░░░░░ protecting Germany we are ░░░░░░░░ France we are protecting ░░░░░░░░ and yet we are ░░░░░░░░ a lot of money ░░░░░░░░ protect This has been ░░░░░░░░ on for decades This ░░░░░░░░ been brought up by ░░░░░░░░ presidents but other presidents ░░░░░░░░ did anything about it ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ understood it or they ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ involved But I have ░░░░░░░░ bring it up because ░░░░░░░░ think it s very ░░░░░░░░ to our country and ░░░░░░░░ unfair to our taxpayers ░░░░░░░░ think that these countries ░░░░░░░░ to step it up ░░░░░░░░ over a 10 year ░░░░░░░░ they have to step ░░░░░░░░ up immediately Germany is ░░░░░░░░ rich country They talk ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ it just a tiny ░░░░░░░░ by 2030 Well they ░░░░░░░░ increase it immediately tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ have no problem I ░░░░░░░░ t think it s ░░░░░░░░ to the United States ░░░░░░░░ we ll have to ░░░░░░░░ something because we are ░░░░░░░░ going to put up ░░░░░░░░ it We can t ░░░░░░░░ up with it and ░░░░░░░░ s inappropriate So we ░░░░░░░░ to talk about the ░░░░░░░░ and billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ s being paid to ░░░░░░░░ country that we re ░░░░░░░░ to be protecting you ░░░░░░░░ You know everybody is ░░░░░░░░ about it all over ░░░░░░░░ world They re saying ░░░░░░░░ a minute we re ░░░░░░░░ to be protecting you ░░░░░░░░ Russia but why are ░░░░░░░░ paying billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ Russia for energy Why ░░░░░░░░ countries in NATO mainly ░░░░░░░░ having a large percentage ░░░░░░░░ their energy needs paid ░░░░░░░░ Russia and taken care ░░░░░░░░ by Russia Now when ░░░░░░░░ look at it Germany ░░░░░░░░ the captive of Russia ░░░░░░░░ they supply it They ░░░░░░░░ rid of their coal ░░░░░░░░ they got rid of ░░░░░░░░ nuclear They are getting ░░░░░░░░ much of the oil ░░░░░░░░ gas from Russia I ░░░░░░░░ it s something that ░░░░░░░░ has to look at ░░░░░░░░ think it s very ░░░░░░░░ You and I agree ░░░░░░░░ it s inappropriate I ░░░░░░░░ t know what you ░░░░░░░░ do about it now ░░░░░░░░ it certainly doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to make sense that ░░░░░░░░ pay billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ Russia and now we ░░░░░░░░ to defend them against ░░░░░░░░ STOLTENBERG You know NATO ░░░░░░░░ alliance of 29 nations ░░░░░░░░ there are sometimes differences ░░░░░░░░ different views and also ░░░░░░░░ disagreements the gas pipeline ░░░░░░░░ Russia to Germany is ░░░░░░░░ issue where allies disagree ░░░░░░░░ the strength of NATO ░░░░░░░░ that despite these differences ░░░░░░░░ have always been able ░░░░░░░░ unite around our common ░░░░░░░░ to protect and defend ░░░░░░░░ other We understand we ░░░░░░░░ stronger together than apart ░░░░░░░░ think that the two ░░░░░░░░ wars and the Cold ░░░░░░░░ taught us that we ░░░░░░░░ stronger together than apart ░░░░░░░░ But how can you ░░░░░░░░ together when a country ░░░░░░░░ getting its energy from ░░░░░░░░ person you want protection ░░░░░░░░ or from a group ░░░░░░░░ you want protection against ░░░░░░░░ Because we understand that ░░░░░░░░ we stand together also ░░░░░░░░ dealing with Russia we ░░░░░░░░ stronger I think what ░░░░░░░░ have seen is that ░░░░░░░░ No you re just ░░░░░░░░ Russia richer You re ░░░░░░░░ dealing with Russia you ░░░░░░░░ making Russia richer STOLTENBERG ░░░░░░░░ think that even during ░░░░░░░░ Cold War NATO allies ░░░░░░░░ trading with Russia There ░░░░░░░░ been disagreements about what ░░░░░░░░ of trade arrangements we ░░░░░░░░ Trump I think trade ░░░░░░░░ wonderful I think energy ░░░░░░░░ a whole different story ░░░░░░░░ think energy is a ░░░░░░░░ different story than normal ░░░░░░░░ And you have a ░░░░░░░░ like Poland that won ░░░░░░░░ accept the gas You ░░░░░░░░ a look at some ░░░░░░░░ the countries they won ░░░░░░░░ accept it because they ░░░░░░░░ t want to be ░░░░░░░░ to Russia Germany as ░░░░░░░░ as I m concerned ░░░░░░░░ captive to Russia because ░░░░░░░░ s getting so much ░░░░░░░░ its energy from Russia ░░░░░░░░ we are supposed to ░░░░░░░░ Germany but they are ░░░░░░░░ their energy from Russia ░░░░░░░░ that And it can ░░░░░░░░ be explained you know ░░░░░░░░ Clip ends Hannity President ░░░░░░░░ that with no notes ░░░░░░░░ in the face of ░░░░░░░░ leader of NATO You ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden could do ░░░░░░░░ Former Secretary of State ░░░░░░░░ Pompeo who you just ░░░░░░░░ in that video will ░░░░░░░░ more on that exchange ░░░░░░░░ in the show tonight ░░░░░░░░ clearly Trump was absolutely ░░░░░░░░ on accurate Now compare ░░░░░░░░ to Joe Biden a ░░░░░░░░ proclaimed tough guy foreign ░░░░░░░░ expert he can go ░░░░░░░░ to toe with Putin ░░░░░░░░ promised to stop Putin ░░░░░░░░ his tracks Well today ░░░░░░░░ could barely form a ░░░░░░░░ sentence as per usual ░░░░░░░░ was unwilling and unable ░░░░░░░░ respond to any questions ░░░░░░░░ Vladimir. Take a look.”
