see in the east. today in the east we are seeing reports of the russian military buildup. there are satellite photos that show another convoy essentially moving in about eight miles along. this would be the buildup that's going to play into the axis heading towards izyum. secondly, the russians have come up to kharkiv and have been unable to essentially control it and tried to build out this pocket. they will have a couple of axis that will go down towards izyum. the battle is shifting entirely to the east. you are seeing a big plus-up in terms of military force. what the russians are trying to do is bring in forces from luhansk, the separatist region the russians essentially controlled and their separatist fighters. the problem for them is about morale. not only have they lost tons of soldiers, the soldiers they're redeploying from the northern sector pushing into belgrade are not motivated to fight.
you are seeing things for offering incentives whatever you destroy you get a certain plus-up in salary or a bonus to return to the fight. if you have to beg people to return to the fight with money you are in a desperate situation if you are the russian military. separately from that looking at the big picture, down here in the south or toward the east and the south what you will see the russians try to do is essentially bisect these portions in the donbas region. they would like to take the donbas region because it would give them something they can claim to be an achievement. vladimir putin has said his original motivation for going in here was to retake donbas. if he doesn't have that, he doesn't even have a bargaining chip through which he can negotiate. secondly and more importantly in the south is where i want to shift to, the ukrainian military putting up an intense fight here. this is where the russians went in weeks two, three and four, advancing to here and were blocked. you are seeing the ukrainian
quite remarkable. number two, it's to encourage and thank the nato nations that are increasing their defense spending, notably our german allies. germany has decided to add 100 billion euros to their defense budget. it's a huge amount of money, about $120 billion, to put it in perspective, russia's defense budget, alex, is only $70 billion. huge plus-up. so the president will want to encourage that. third and finally, he'll want to talk very tactically about what weapons can we put in the hands of ukrainians, recent discussions in particular about a fairly advanced antiair warfare system called the s-300, some of our allies have that, that could be transported into ukraine to help close the skies. those would be the three key vectors of the conversation. >> can i ask you quickly about
evacuation. as you know, david, we were still in the process, before there was a need to do a non-combatant evacuation, we were still in the process of a drawdown at the airport, the previous plan, by the end of the month. some of the troops that flew home yesterday were in that tranche. they were very much a part of the original drawdown plan. admiral vasely saw fit that there was some others that he believed that he didn't need there at the airport anymore even though they had flown in with the plus-up for the neo. these are headquarter staff personnel, maintainers and other enabling forces who either had completed their mission and were already scheduled to go, as i said, even before there was a non-combatant evacuation and others who admiral vasely determined their mission was complete, he didn't need them
they're not landing or taking off. no planes. so the military brings an aircraft in. generally soldiers and marines coming in as part of the plus-up of troops to kabul and the idea is to -- there on the ground they fill that plane up with people that need to get out of the country but that's not happening the way it's supposed to so there's a bottleneck on both sides why the planes are not coming in with the troops and the citizens are not getting out including americans who have been working at the embassy there in kabul and the afghan special immigration visa candidates. a big part of the reason is exactly what we have been watching here. civilians have been storming the aircraft. the runways just are not safe and the u.s. military several hours ago started to move the civilians off the runways into a
and, look, i'm for infrastructure, i'm just not for infrastructure at any cost. i'm for infrastructure, i'm not for infrastructure no matter what. and we're going in to a fight now with the democrats over raising the debt ceiling. steve: exactly. the democrats cannot do a lot of what they want to do unless they raise the debt ceiling. which not one republican is going to vote for. and when it comes to the great big $3.5 trillion idea, will they would pay for that by jacking up people's taxes and jacking up the taxes on corporations and things like that. and to the senator's point, absolutely when you look at all the money the forecast has already pumped into the economy, that is why, for instance, with the plus-up, that's why people are not working, that's why there is a labor shortage. plus, it's why everything costs more. it's why why gas costs more and
be there for people the way it's been over the past year. host of making money on fox business charles payne. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: we have been hearing how there is a gigantic number of jobs unfilled right now some people are sitting on their couch, waiting for the unemployment to run out. the so-called plus up. the federal supplement of 300 bucks per week. it's supposed to run out next month some time. now they are talking about extending it maybe permanently? >> they have been talking about this since we implemented it last year. there have been certain forces in washington, d.c. that wanted to get this done, steve. you know, of the idea that the delta variant is starting to, you know, grow and obviously highly transmissible. this is latest excuse for doing it you know powerful forces elected officials in our congress and our senate who believe we should have a system of free money that we should
i think the plus-up -- >> harris: what about all the theft? that is a huge amount of money that was taken during the time when people needed it most legitimately the height of the pandemic. >> yes, you are quite right. you know, we had heard reports all last year that the unemployment claims numbers, particularly from california -- and by the way, the california labor department said that there was a lot of fraud in those people filing for first-time unemployment. >> harris: why didn't they fix it? >> here is what's happening. the federal government is throwing more and more money at these state unemployment systems. their labor departments did not have the computer capability to process everything. and we were told ohio is another place, harris, there may have been others.
restaurant owner, worried about the impact it's having on history, jasper is the owner of jasper's restaurant down in kansas city. and he has a radio show. and he joins us right now from his kitchen. hey, jasper, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: okay. so we have been talking for a while on this program about how with this plus-up, this supplemental income from the government with unemployment is keeping a lot of people from coming to work. they have decided i'm going to stay on my couch rather than go to work. have you noticed that? >> well, to be honest with you, we used to have sometimes 25, 30 people apply for job a month. and now we get zero. i mean, maybe two or three the past three months. that is it. steve: okay. so, and the problem for you, because you have got one of kansas city's greatest restaurants, jaspers and marco polo as well. >> thank you. steve: you bet. the problem is you have got to worry about the quality of the
