President obama today issued an ultimatum to the government of ukraine, threateningng consequees if t military is ordered to intervene. The uted states condemns in its strongest terms violent taking place, we hold the ukrainianovernment primarily sponsible, we expect the ukrainia government to show restraint to not resort to violence there wle consequences if people step over the line. That includes making sure that Ukrainian Military ds not step in to what should be a set of issues that can be resolved by civilians. Lou president vtor announced moments ago his government and the Opposition Forces have agreed to a truce. Members of oppositionarties, include former heavyweight boxi champ klitschko. Negotiating a quote, cessation of floo bloodshed for the sake civil peace this comes hours after the ukrainian president fired his military chief, and announced a socalled antiterrorist operation underway to restore order. And after president putin suspended transfe of mons to bailouout the ukrainian government, and presint putin told president ian covic, it is up to the ukraini government to avoid further bloodshed. Antigovernment protests also rocking venezuela. Demonstrators, angry or crime shortages of basic goods, and threats to their freedom.

My first guest said it lely too late are in Obama Administration to do much more than talk about the ukraine. Our leadership is persevered as we. I am diswroine joid by retired fourstar general jack king, at this poin gd t be here. Lou we hear a familiar retrain from t white hou. They daint take your threats seriously. Particularly after the threat with syria and red line, we should be talking to putin, he the thug that is trying to dominate from former sovt union client states, and ukraine is top on hiss list. The fact is that in his mind, ukraine has been a part of russia. He is after that client state, it economically important to him. The europeans and united stes, for a number of year now have shown some ineptitude in dealing with this crisis affectively and moving ukraine in the right direction. I dont think much will happen here. Lou not much may happen i terms of u. S. Assertion of interest and power. But, president putin made it clear, hasnt he, he means to intervene if this gets further out of hand. What other prospects in your judgment . Well what fears is 2004 repete, whe when thi stiewj nostooge, now the president of ukraine. Fact is that all those demonstrations took place, and a new leader came into power, that intimidated i think probay frightened foot in, he saw the computer up, he sa putin, he es not that to happen again. He does not top get that out of hand. Does not want to get that out of hand, i doubt ifiaciac put troops in street without some kind of discussion with putin. Putin is trying show strength, from government perspective but not let it get out of hand whe governmt is challenged in terms of its future. Neil European Union holding an Energy Meeting on the possibility of imposingan shins tomorrow. Sanctions tomorrown this, sound very peculiar to me it is hard to impose sanions that would only affect a corrupt leader, not the people who are demonstrating at least half of home, for a tighter ts with euroan union itself with the west. That strategy is fundamentally flawed. Yo question and i question it as well. Sanctions against this government, from europeans who people to be aligned with, strengthens the president s hand. And frustrates the people. It does not make sense for the europeans to do this. They are dealing with the wrong person, the person we should put pressure on putin. And the president meanwhi is dealing with harper and mexican preside nieto talng about harmonization of borders and trade boarder and trade, syria lapse from the priority list for this administration. And secretary kerry. We still have seen very little in way of movement. If anything. In the inian nuclear talks. What is going on with the administration . Your best if you will, your best analysis of where we are in the middle east right now in. I think what happed is administration, you know, wiinning what took place with two wars afgnistan and irkrage, they dont agree with either one. Have done all they could to avoid the potential of another conflict ty are paralyze by fear of that adverse consequence, middle eat leaderip outhere interpret u. S. As no longer wanting to be involved work were in retreat, and disengages, our adversaries in the region are all moving forward. And United States is sitting on the fence. So our Foreign Policy is seen as one of retrenchmentrom the world. And fact is that we are perceived general he speaking no through out the world by friends and adversaryys as weak. Weak.

Angelus oaks top labor volkswagen top lor reprentative in german, threatening to allow any expansion. Have never seen such hutzpah on the part of a guy sitting in germany telling americans what they have to do. This is going to have reacted . Think so. And why does he feel imboldenne president obama made it about the german shareholders fm the get go, they probably feel open powered to assert their control. Lou and president has his handpicked nlrb to help them along, but idea, that this guy, at volkswagen does he not understand brand issues . Volkswagen with all of its brands, success,lobally but also in this country, still remains, the richest Consumer Market in the world, you know, come on. Calm down. I dont pretend to know how euroan mind set works, i dont have to tell you, lou this is a company that is additionaly pro union, and they let the unions come in, they gave them unfettered access, what real frustrates me is that people have spoken, the left and that european socialist menentaly we serie creep into our country, and occupy our white house, will not let pple t their own devices make their own choices, they under estimate how savvy people are when it comes to their own paychecks, workers, lo at their paychecks and union offering and said, the generous benefit technology i packages are there salary is there, why do we need you, that is not a compelling dial for us. Lou volkswagen is enjoying imnse success, the workers in tennsee, are doing a great job, building a superior product, in the workers are well provided for, their compensation is a fair, it is, they make terrific living wage, why screw with it . The vernacur . But they decided to do so, spectical of a company sides with a union, insisting that their workers, appve it. And do they read about detroit . Have they read about other Car Companies that have fallen at hands of the uaw, they have not. Europe is very big on unions. Very big. But think this is just add asty to tell u. S. How to do business, and lecture them and wag the finger, and boldness of unions that i think are grasping for air, saying well sue, it shs they are desperate. Lou and what is ironic in this president of United States, now down, in toluca, mexico with three amigos meeting. They are in the shadows of that summit. Is a gianthrysler plant, Building Three different model some of which are shipped here, were having a discussion with voation voation about wha volkswagen with what they are doing, a how they want to run things in our count. And the keystone pipeline, it would be another bne for american workers, president obama admitted the reason it is not getting done is because of the pitics, i cant believe he actually admitted tt politics is getting in the way o american jobs. Lou im glad he dstraight forwardness is in sort supply in washington. But reality is we have a bunch of people Walking Around sophistited economists saying with this administration, cant crea sufficient jobs, they will not look at what is obvious. You start looking at offshore production, and outsources of jobs, when you look a failure of business to invest in this marketplace, the home mart, it not difficult, they are not investing in the cntrys future. Not in this economy. They are not comfortable with american greatness, i believe that president does not care about t gdp or growth, i dont think he ces about the unemploy rate, i dont think he cares about the cboreport or what obamacare will do, they dont care. They care about one thing, making people dependent on government, in their eyes. The cbo reports, and report that jobs is not being created because of impediments due to politics that does not matter, that is fine. Lou you wave him away as beck beckel. Short on facts sometimes but not on passion. Lou well carry your water for you, beckel, we would be glad to have you on. He is a good guy,ust disillusions. Lou that is the case with the left.

Lets turn to president oba in mexico, it haa been a long time since we heard nort American Union and open borders, has it gone away now in. You would think it h, with more than 20 years now since that has been in plce, nafta. And people are still upset about it. They are arguing about itt but i think that folks are wondering why president condition say in this country and deal cant sy in this country and deal with problems here, that is the issue of the day with my readers and listeners. Lou your thoughts. I agree, interesting president has to leave the United States, people are not pleased with him, neither is Prime Minister of canada or president of mexico, i hope they discus that keystone excel pipeline this president should approve, but because it would create jobs and help us get off foreign oil, he will not. Lou chris, anoth subject, president takg time out to threaten government of ukraine, saying, you cross a line heree it will be there will be consequences tt word. This time. Man has aixing a onlines fixation onlines and consequences. The truth is nobody takes him seriously at this. , red line in syria was a joke that keeps moving all over the pllce, deal with iran on Nuclear Weapon a joke, ayia told isa laughing icra tolda is laughing at us issue those hard casing over there. I promise you they will ignore whatever he says, the threat is sanctions as though sanctions have changed behaviors in the past, more fecklesses in, hapless ness, our president has an f in Foreign Policy. Lou and the vw labor leader, saying that people need to be in a union regardlessf what people want. What do you think will be the reaction, to a labor leader, a relative of volkswagen, the way they are organized, making such a threat . As they say in tennessee, that wont my up on rocky top, i am filiar with this area, the lks who live in that part of southeast tennessee, they have seen devastation rocked by unions. They have seen thenemployment, they have seen the. Ty buildings and des layin laying that played into the vote, i was not surprised wn i saw the vote as it went down, i suspect that they wille hard pressed to make a change and bridge the union back to that company. Lou you know,. Go ahead. What bothers me. This is become now, you know a race thing. That in the south, we in south, we dont want 9 norern unions here, i heard beckel the other day compare to Civil Rights Movement that some of the more ignorant this i heard, to that guy running volkswagen in germany, you dont want to build your plants in the south that is fine with us, we dt want you. This ceo needs tour of detroit, we should play o a first place plane ticke put hii in the backf a towncar, and drive him around, maybe he would know the vote in tennessee. Lou y are sounds like a memmm cmercial but a town fem fe m m commercial. I 1 irwhat impact will be, whh this is richest Consumer Market thehey have a 5 fool lking this ignorantly. When you look at history of unions in country, in automobile industry, you look at desolation in detroit, they up inetroit dont have sweet tea at least folks in southeast have that. Lou one thing that republicans had Going Forward them, was a tea party. Now, we are watching, a real contest within the Republican Party, between establishment. Two has not done much right i the pastecade, and the tea party which searched their bacon savedtheir bacon in 2010, what is going on with the g. O. P. In. I think we all saw it. Vote with debteing with 28 republicans vote with democrats, boehner has no power, i love the word feckless, you are right. That is a perrect word for boehner, after the midterm elections a new speiche speech speaker of the house, if you dont, there will be a lot of people like me that demand that change. Boehner is an absolute orange feckless irresponsible bern that should note longer b speaker the of the house. Lou matt. I like it. Lou im going to have to look them up. Chris plant always showing off like that. Tea party, you can call boehner what youant, but the fact i that you got the tea party threatening in primaries, you got chamber of commerce threateng in primaries, anybody else want to get in the game . Andcrew up the Republican Party . Well. There it fight is long every due, i think, they are not accomplish a lot in lastecade, it is time for a ltle bit of a cleansing i think, a rewal of Republican Party, there is too much go along to get ang, 17. 3 trillion in debt creeping up on gdp, time we woke up. Get our own house in order. That is what the tea party is calling for, sincery mentioned racism in volkswagen plant. It is you know tea party are not voting for theaw as racist, are they going to jump the shark on this racism thing or what . When does thi ball of spring run out . But republicans having infighting is healthy. Im concerned about democrats so eager to march in lockstep on everything single issue, no matter what. Talk about you know germans, the discipline that Democrat Party can muster is disturbing, a like a scrum now and then, how it should be peal back old layers and reveal nnwnw that is health. Lou all right. Thank you ted cruz. As karl rove said, whatever youo, dont go after hillary, dont criticize hillary, you cant do that,. Lou yeah, well,ou know, emasculated by karl rove and mitt romney. Dont get us starre start on karlove. It workedso well for her. I am rooting for bill clinton a doormat fresident in 2016. Lou chris plant thank you, matt patrick thank you, todd starns thank you. Thanknk youou. Carl will double his stake in New York Times to almost 22 ownership. Just a little less than half of shares value todays close, a good deal, and a timely investment. Up next, well take up ggowing divide between big business, and conservatives in the Republican Party. When it comes to immigration and a host ofther issue, well be joined by Vice President geneve wood, she is next. Lou aeek ago u. S. Chamber of commerce ceo tom crow cw crow ceo tom donohue wrote an oped, here to talk why big business seems to be moving in opposition direct of coervatives on immigration and other issues is viceresident haiheritage foundation geneve wood. Great to have you with us. Glad to be here 9. Lou tom donohue pace belie telling Republican Party how it is going to be. Not the house legislation. And pushing unskilled immigrants to the country rather than highly skilled immigrants to drive our economy. Your thoughts . Well, a lot of people think of chamber of commerce may believe they represent a lot of small binesses, but it is the establish am pition of big business position that chamber is putting forward, for all they want to see about immigration it will help businesses somehow even if that were true that is not what this immigration bill they supported or business round table and other lobbyistroups uppted wld do. Very first thing it does it gives amnesty toillions o folks who are here illegally, i am sor, i sorry it is hard to say how that is good for the american taxpayer, it is not securing our borders. So a lot of us can say, includings at heritage foundation, we do need Immigration Reform but not with an amnesty bill. That is what chamberants to do, they are willing to take that route, they think it will be good for some of their businesses even though it runs over american taxpayer, and our countrys rule of law. Lou whether we talk about immigration or obamacare. Your views on obamacare, you know, i would like to hear. Given that are such a divergence with chamber big business, we hear big business, whichs now by the way getting subsidized, a bailout in waiting for healthcare iurance companies. Which will learn a lot more about by may there seems to be a merger of corporate interests in this country with the demoic party. That i have never seen the likes of. Lou big business in establish am that goes across both pties, you cant just blame democrats onhat, tomorrow i have a column in foundry, tomorrow. I dont talk just about immigration, whether it is corporate subsidy or things like obamacare, other areas where the siness lobby has made a deal with the devil. Well go along get along those things, and i tell you why, i think it happens, they unlocked individual citizen or small busineness own or entrepreneur, they can afford the record keepers, lobbyists and tax accountables and lawyers it takes to keep up with the mandates and regulations that come withhis lik obamacare, they end up being only people in the market that pushes the little guy out, whether you talk about obamacare or Internet Sales tax,hat chamber and others were behind earlier, that is a new tax, why are they calliig for a new tax . Big groups like amazon. Com and others can handle, that woman who is to sell her art on esty that is a big hurdle, have you more big government, not our pricing that big business that can afford and work with, it coming out, supporting it. Lou we have the issue now of note new tralty, net new tralty, a contest between the gatekeepers. Watching what is happening wa netflix, and verizon, and others. As internet providers, we have a lot to sort out, these gatekeepers are frankly, not the american way of doing want. You cant talk about free enterpse and free market and be for corporate well fraire, giving subsidies t whether green customer boeing or general electric, that is not free mark that is not a level playing fields. That is what were seeing, there are things that chamber and business groups doight. But there is a well the of things they do that really is for lack of a better term, they are getting close and koz we big government. Government. I refer to tom donohue as the good cdinal, he is taken to front and center stage. With sometime ultimat ultimatum or threats, he is feeling his oats that is remarkable. Well seeow it works. We l, i think your segment before spoke to, that you will see a lot play out in primaries and elections, they will come up again in accept accept and other places tea party and other places. Lou jean eve thank you. Up next, my commentary on Obama Administration, liberal National Media what words and politically correct phrasing you politically correct phrasing you are about to use, that and your in the new new york, we dont back down. Politically correct phrasing you are about to use, that and your we oy know one direction up soere up early. Up late. Thinking up gamechanging ideas, like this dozens of tax free zones across new york state. Move here. Expand here. Or start a new business her and pay taxes for 10 years. With new jobs, new opportunities and a new tax free plan. Theres only one way for your busess to go. Up. Find out if your business can qualify at startupny. Com lou nephew talks. You may have noticed our language above politics and government is changing rapidly these days. That is because our politicians, in ideologues, advocates and activists understand that whoever controls language control stock. And whoer controls thought controls our lives. President obama is talking with his canadian and mican counterparts in mexico, but they are talking about harmonization of trade, which realy means expediting, sometimes recklessly , the shipping of goods across our borders. They will be talking about free trade, of couse, and what they really mean is asymmetrical trade, often depending upon lowercost labor, for example, in mexico, to build products once made in america or even canada. Nothing of this. We are now used to calling unskilled workers across into this country illegally undocumented or even migrants. The same people we once called illegal aliens. Thgovernment still does, by the way. Illegal immigrants, but not as much now. The Associated Press banned the use of illegal immigrant, believe and not, and the ap did not offer a temperatures journalists to use in hs place. We slowly adapts to all of this, dont worry. We once called what is happening to our environment Global Warming, but now the mainstream liberal media likes to call it, change. Yo may have noticed, very fw people, if any, have secretaries and more. Assistance, their call now. Stewardesses are flight attendants, no longer are we all mankind, we are huan kind, nor american indianseither. Their native americans, althou not to be called natives. Our Founding Fathers are simply founders, even though our Founding Fathers were all men. It sometimes is complicated to understand why thing, person, idea is, one name or the other, but it is easy to understand why some folks now want to change those names and why change it often makes it easy to let slip below control of our lives. One or two words at the time. Well, it is time now for a few of your thoughts and top comments from our viewers. An email about the deteriorating situatn in the ukraine.
