Need to Know (23 December 2022) with Joe Olson and Chris Weinert

You can bet that Vladimir Putin takes his role as Russia's Commander in Chief seriously, where he is beefing up the Russian military and taking measures to protect its citizens in the event of a nuclear war--which, sad to say, the West continues to provoke. Tucker (justifiably) ridicules the appearance of Zeleneky's appearance as though he were the "manager of a strip club", while American's view him as a beggar who is milking the nation for money and weapons, where Congress appears to be far more concerned about Ukraine than with the United States. Disgusting! A major development in Kari Lake's case where the Director of Elections has now acknowledged under oath that they reset the voting machines with regard to ballot size to send large numbers for adjudication, where subjective decisions were made as to how the vote should be counted. I think this suggests she is going to prevail in court. Rand Paul has called out the $1.7 trillion bill the Democrats have passed during the lame duck session to prevent the GOP (which takes control of the House in January) from defeating their pet projects. 18 Republicans supported the bill, which was (rightly) opposed by the majority. And (even) Elon Musk has been surprised to discover that Twitter was (still) censoring tweets that challenged the massive spending bill, which he declares to correct.
