Will Vladimir Putin and Russia respond after President Biden crossed yet another one of Russia’s red lines? Rep. Cory Mills joins Glenn to discuss what may happen next after Biden allowed Ukraine to fire American long-range missiles into Russia; He tells Glenn why World War III might not be as likely as it looks, thanks to Donald Trump. Will Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Putin act differently because they know Trump’s coming back soon? Rep. Mills also comments on why the Biden regime appears to be leading us toward war.

Vladimir Zelinsky used our long-range missiles, to attack Russia. Yesterday.
You know, it's something that Vladimir Putin said, would be a red line. On Monday, what happened.
On Monday, we said, when I say we. Whoever is president of the United States. Let's just use air quotes and say, Joe Biden.
Told Ukraine that they could use those long range missiles, again. Vladimir Putin said, red line.
In fact, they had something that they had proposed in September. But they -- they stamped it, and signed it, on Tuesday.
In response to our announcement on Monday.
The doctrine now says, an attack from a nonnuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, that would be us.
Will be treated as a joint assault on Russia!
Oh, that is -- oh, that's great.
So what is Putin going to do?
We don't have any idea. But I -- then again, I don't have any idea, why we would have done this, in the first place.
Cory Mills joins us, the congressman from Florida.
Hello, Cory, how are you?
CORY: Glenn, how are you?
GLENN: So how disturbed are you by what's happening?
CORY: Well, extremely concerned. Look for four years, Ukraine has been asking for long range capabilities. Have been asking to be able to hit within the outline areas inside of Russia. And trying to prevent continual assault. And it was denied, denied, denied.
And here we go, as we're getting into president Trump's administration as his presidency. He's continued to try to spiral things further out of control, and escalate them to another degree.
Benefit we have, however, is that we have an exceptionally strong president coming in.
And every one of the world leaders knows that President Trump does not suffer fools.
And that he does not have the weakness which invites aggression.
GLENN: Correct.
CORY: So I think that even with all this taking place. I think that both Putin and Zelinsky understand. President Trump coming in is not necessarily saying, it's okay for you guys to continue this back and forth. It's okay to continue the events that's occurring.
He's going to come with an actual solution. And say, what kind of sanctioning, what kind of imposement? Because, remember, it was President Trump who actually removed America from the INF treaty, which had been violated by Russia time and time again.
It was President Trump who removed us from JCPLA.
It was President Trump who enforced one of our adversaries, China, to actually buy billions of dollars in agricultural goods or face tariffs.
And it was President Trump who secured our borders remain in Mexico. Secured it by trying to build the wall.
People know this. They're taking notice. But it's disturbing to me, that President Biden is doing everything he can to leave President Trump with the biggest mess possible to stop him from actually getting on to the America first agenda.
GLENN: It also strikes me as the Deep State going in to survival mode.
CORY: Yeah. Well, it's the Deep State going into survival mode.
You add the nanny state. Who continues to want to keep the corruption. The power.
You know, just like you, Glenn.
Those absolutists.
I believe in completely eliminating a large amount of departments and agencies. Throughout DC. And returning those powers throughout the United States.
I believe that, again, we can harp on Woodrow Wilson's 17th amendment in 1913.
The power resides with the people. The power resides with the independent state.
And this is what the federal government. And this is what all these bureaucrats. These unelected bureaucrats who think they're lawmakers, want to hold on to.
So they will create as much chaos as possible. Whether it be through a pandemic. Whether it be through global warfare, whether it through regional destabilization. In an effort to try to maintain their power, so that it doesn't move away.
GLENN: So the president cannot -- the president-elect cannot call Putin or Zelinsky, and say, knock it off.
I'm 61 days. Or 62 days away from the president.
And you don't want to screw with me. Knock it off right now! He can't make that call, can he?
Legally.
CORY: He can actually to some extent. Look, we have a good friend of mine, Mike Waltz who was just appointed as national security adviser. I talked to him yesterday.
And there's a tremendous amount of world leaders who are calling to congratulate the president.
And the president can simply say, listen. As you know. I'm coming in, in 61 days.
I would ask that we go ahead and deescalate things now, before we come in and start thinking of a solution to work together. So we've already seen where Hamas, the minute that President Trump was elected. Asked for a cease-fire. I mean, you saw where Russia was starting to stop its continuation and now obviously, Biden has continued to ramp that back up.
So he can also do more to feed the defense military-industrial complex. Which you will need as future donors and future paychecks.
But, yeah. President Trump absolutely is already in talks with world leaders. And his national security adviser, Tulsi, the Director of National Intelligence. And everyone is very much in the know on this.
What was shocking, however, Glenn.
And this should be shocking for viewers as well.
During the transition, you're supposed to be transparent with the incoming administration.
And Michael Waltz, the National Security Adviser, wasn't even briefed that the actual long-range missiles had been approved by Biden and Jake Sullivan.
GLENN: I -- this is -- I mean, this is madness. I've never seen anything like this before.
Ever!
I mean, you just don't --
CORY: It's unprecedented. Look at FEMA. Look at all the weaponization. Look at what they've done to our economy. Look at what they've done to our open borders. Look at the 300,000+ children who have gone missing, who are being trafficked into the country.
Look at -- how FEMA has been weaponized and not helped those. If you have a Trump sign. As good practice.
I mean, look at what's happened with China's aggression, ramping up in the Taiwan Sea. Look at Paycom stress. Look at Russia and China.
Look at Iran's continual aggression with the October 7th incident on Israel.
Look at Hezbollah in Iraq, and how they're starting to ramp up.
Look, the list goes on and on, with how the world is being set on fire with this administration.
GLENN: So what do you expect Putin to do? Two days ago. Yeah. No. Yeah, two days ago, they said that it could be a nuclear strike.
I don't think they're going to do that. But it could be a nuclear strike.
And it would be war between us and that NATO ally.
That is supplying all of these things. That's us.
How does he continue to back down on his red lines without losing his position and credibility in his own country?
CORY: Well, I think it's a bit of saber rattling. And I think he knows things will change in the next 61 days. I think right now, he's trying to get Biden and everyone to be on notice. To say, this is enough. You're not going to be able to do this, and actually approve threats on to our nation. But we missed the boat a long time ago.
If you backed up to 1994, when we find the original Budapest memorandum, it was us, the Federation of Russia, Ukraine, and UK Northern Ireland.
That was recognizing Ukraine's independent sovereignty, and their borders as a nuclear nonproliferation agreement.
The minute that was violated in 2014. Oh, wait. That was under Obama and Biden.
The minute that was actually done. They should have levied that treaty.
Regardless if it has teeth on it or not, you could have brought that to the international committees, but they didn't.
And they allowed to continue on, until it was actually President Trump who came forward and said, the only way to stop this isn't by giving bandaids and by giving food. It's by allowing to have defense articles to be supplied to Ukraine for its own defense. And when that was approved. Russia then stood at bay, and Donetsk, and Lagonsk, and Mariopol (all phonetic). Now, fast forward foreword to when President Biden comes to his office, Russia immediately starts their invasion. Because they knew that nothing was going to happen. Because the precedent has been set.
So I think there's saber rattling that's going on by Vladimir Putin.
I think that's necessary. I wouldn't be surprised if he does have some type of a midrange, long-range missile strike. Increase in artillery. Things like that, are already hard impact to the area.
I think he understands that 51 days, there's a new boss in town.
