Foreign War vs Homeland Defense 00:10:21
Hey, everybody.
Today in the Charlie Kirk show, we talk about Tucker Carlson's challenge to all the Republicans running for president.
The Republican Party has changed over the last decade.
I think it's a positive thing when it comes to foreign intervention, especially these endless wars that we find ourselves in.
Email me your thoughts as always freedom at charliekirk.com.
Get involved with TurningPointUSA today at tpusa.com, tpusa.com, sort of high school chapter or college chapter at tpusa.com.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country.
He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
Tucker Carlson decided to do something that the news media really used to do, but doesn't do anymore.
You see, here I have the New York Times.
I read it so you don't have to.
Avoiding war, Russia's elite flocked to Dubai.
New York Times.
Bank stocks skid despite U.S. moves to call markets.
But a real simple question is, in their own words, how do the people that want to become president feel about what's happening in Eastern Europe?
So Tucker Carlson decided to do something very simple.
He decided to ask them, gave them a couple days' lead time, and asking some very specific questions, saying, hey, is Russia, is opposing Russia in the American national security interest?
Is it a vital strategic interest?
What specifically is our objective in Ukraine and how will we know when we've achieved it?
What is the limit of funding and material you'll be willing to send to the government of Ukraine?
We asked that question, remember, of Senator Kramer of North Dakota, and he said, well, it's not really a number.
Well, we're almost up to $200 billion, which is the GDB equivalent of four North Dakotas.
Just keep that in mind.
Should the United States support regime change in Russia?
Lindsey Graham says yes.
Given that Russia's economy and currency are stronger than before the war, do you believe that U.S. sanctions have been effective?
Do you believe that the U.S. faces the risk of nuclear war with Russia?
So he asked these very simple questions, and the answers were fascinating of how the people running for office as Republicans view what's happening in eastern Ukraine.
Do they believe it is in the vital American national interest for us to be engaging in this border dispute?
Do they believe that it is important for us to continue to pour on the money and the weapons and the support and the resources?
And I would add another question, which I think is just such a simple question.
And again, every single person running for the presidency is welcome to come on this program and we'll offer you respect, uninterrupted time.
I'm going to keep on saying that because eventually somebody's going to take us up on the offer.
Another question that I would ask is: you have to choose one.
What is a greater threat to the United States?
The Mexican drug cartels or Vladimir Putin?
You got to pick one.
Which one is it?
Tucker Carlson went one by one by one with how each one of the candidates stand on this.
And I think it's interesting.
I'm going to play them and we'll riff and we'll talk about the ideological differences in the Republican Party when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.
First, the frontrunner, who actually is gaining poll and popular support, Donald Trump in polling is actually stronger than he has been in any recent memory.
Play Cut 33.
Russia would never have attacked Ukraine if I were president, he writes, not even a small chance.
Trump says he opposes regime change in Russia.
Quote, we should support regime change in the United States.
That's far more important.
The Biden administration are the ones who got us into this mess.
Trump repeatedly refers to the risk of nuclear war, which he describes as absolutely real.
And then he calls for a negotiated peace by Ukraine mediated by the United States.
Quote, both sides are weary and ready to make a deal, Trump writes.
The meeting should start immediately.
There is no time to spare.
Death and destruction must end now.
That is a prudent and wise answer.
Why are we not actively trying to broker a deal?
Because the war machine needs to turn profits.
Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, the people that run the military arm of our government, get poorer if there is peace in Ukraine.
Donald Trump doesn't care about that.
He says, I'm just going to negotiate it.
Now, look at the contrast.
Look at the amazing contrast because this shows the state of the conservative movement when it comes to foreign policy.
I find this to be fascinating.
The contrast between Donald Trump's answer right there and his former vice president, Mike Pence.
You have to wonder, who is Mike Pence communicating to?
Is he representing his voters or does he think that the Republican Party is still the party of invade the world, invite the world?
Listen to this contrast.
His response is so totally standard 2004, but times have changed.
You, the American people, have really woken up and said, this is insane.
Play cut 34.
What's interesting, though, is that Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, who was also running for president this year, opposes his old boss on nearly every point.
We're paying Ukrainians to fight Russia, Pence writes, so we won't have to fight Russians ourselves.
Pence endorses even stricter sanctions against Moscow.
He dismisses the risk of nuclear war as a, quote, bullying tactic from Putin.
And then Pence suggests that anyone who disagrees with his views on Ukraine is a disloyal American.
Now, I'm just curious.
We have an amazingly engaged audience.
We have one of the most popular radio programs and television programs and podcasts out there.
Do you agree with Pence or Trump on this?
Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
Every so often, we get an email of somebody that says, Charlie, I think it's one of the most important things that we get involved in Ukraine.
Just last on Friday, a really kind and generous gentleman that was at a coffee I was doing said, Charlie, I love everything you stand for, but I could not disagree with you more on Ukraine.
200 billion is a small price to pay.
I actually enjoy watching videos of Ukrainians killing Russians, and I think this is one of the best things that we could do.
That was also the consensus belief of some of the students that I talked to at University of California, Santa Barbara, when I was at UCSB.
And some of the students there were asking questions and basically came under the opinion that this is a wonderful opportunity to get rid of Putin, that this is a good use of money, a good use of resources, and who cares that we might have to send American troops and that we might have to get potentially involved in a nuclear armed conflict.
And meanwhile, the BRIC nations are beginning to align together to get rid of the dollar as their reserve currency.
Now, Mike Pence's wording is especially scary here.
He's evasive on the question of regime change itself, and every other leader or candidate running for office at least rejects that.
And by the way, a lot of the young students I talk to at University of California, Santa Barbara are idealistic.
Ukraine is a country that is under attack.
And therefore, they say it's a time to feel heroic, even though they refuse to acknowledge the severe and immediate threat of the Mexican drug cartel at our own border.
I would love to live in a country where our leaders take the Mexican drug cartel more seriously than Vladimir Putin.
Okay, let's keep on playing the tape here.
Ron DeSantis, DeSantis had a very, very precise response.
He's listening to the MAGA base.
You got to give DeSantis credit here.
Play cut 35.
DeSantis is adamantly opposed to the position that most Republicans in Washington have taken on Ukraine.
DeSantis is not a neocon.
Who knew?
Quote, while the U.S. has many vital national interests, DeSantis writes, securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party, becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.
Without question, he writes, peace should be the objective.
The U.S. should not provide assistance that could require the deployment of American troops or enable Ukraine to engage in offensive operations beyond its borders.
F-16s and long-range missiles should therefore be off the table.
These moves would risk explicitly drawing the United States into the conflict and drawing us closer to a hot war between the world's two largest nuclear powers.
That risk is unacceptable.
DeSantis goes on to oppose the policy of regime change in Moscow, which is very popular in Washington.
And he points out that the Biden administration has created an alliance between Russia and China, and that's a disaster for the United States.
Quote, we cannot prioritize intervention in an escalating foreign war over the defense of our own homeland, especially as tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year from narcotics smuggled across our open border, and our weapons arsenals, critically for our own security, are rapidly being depleted.
Boy, the Republican Party has changed, hasn't it?
And by the way, for any of you that have any questions or mystery, Ron DeSantis is probably going to run for president after reading that statement.
That is not a statement just as the governor of Florida.
Hey, governor of Florida, what do you think about Ukraine?
No, no, no.
That answer reads as somebody who wants to be right in the middle of the presidential race.
DeSantis is listening to his voters.
Mike Pence is out on a different universe, different planet.
Yeah, more weapons, more.
You should read my emails I'm getting from your voters right now.
They don't want that.
Look, America's in big trouble.
We got bank collapses.
We got pending food shortages.
We got big problems.

It's funny, one of our amazing listeners, Doug, Charlie, make sure you ask the students tonight, how many of them are signing up to go kill Russians?
That is a very wise point.
It's an obvious point, but it's a very smart point, which is it's the same sort of moral dilemma that drives the young socialists, which is it is easy to be generous with other people's money, socialism, and it's easy to be generous with other people's kids, neoliberalism, when you send them into conflicts that you yourself would actually never serve in.
So I want to continue to go through this, and I find this so interesting because the Republican Party of 2012, when Willard Mitt Romney was the nominee, was there was no debate allowed on foreign policy.
Do you know the only people that were voicing heterodox or contrarian foreign policy ideas?
It was the Ron Paul people.
And God bless the Ron Paul people.
I have more courage in the political movement thanks to Ron Paul.
I got into politics, not only because of Ron Paul, but he was an influence.
He was just so outspoken.
And I have so much respect for him.
I think one of the great one of the great losses in America is how we have forgotten about Ron Paul.
Ron Paul still does a podcast.
We can have him back on the show.
I don't think anyone understands or remembers how powerful Ron Paul was back in 2011, 2012.
In fact, it was the Ron Paul anti-cult of personality.
It was one of the most amazing political phenomenons.
Whatever you say about Trump being a cult of personality, Ron Paul was a cult of ideas.
One of the most amazing pieces of video ever is to see Tucker Carlson when he was a reporter for either Rolling Stone or one of these other places.
No, it wasn't Rolling Stone.
Anyway, he embedded with Ron Paul for a couple of days.
And it's fascinating because no matter what you would say to Ron Paul, he'd always deflect like, oh, is this all about you?
Nope, it's about the ideas.
We just don't want foreign wars.
We don't want regime change.
And again, Ron Paul had some very wacky and nutty ideas beyond anything that I would believe, like closing all military bases, keeping borders relatively open, decriminalizing and legalizing all drugs.
However, Ron Paul was right on getting rid of the Federal Reserve.
Ron Paul was right in predicting an end to the fractional banking reserve system.
Ron Paul was right about hyperinflation.
He was right about the national security apparatus coming after people like you and I because they're going to call people terrorists I don't like.
So anyway, I didn't plan to go this long on Ron Paul, but he was the only voice.
And what people like Willard Mitt Romney and other people did is they would smear Ron Paul as the crazy guy who's like on the side of the street with a sign and says that chemtrails are infecting you.
And that's Ron Paul and whatever.
They get 20 delegates and we run the party.
Thanks so much.
But now the entire Republican Party, outside of people like Pence, are actually listening to their voters.
This is a massive and meaningful and tangible and serious change in the Republican Party.
Now, the people in Washington, D.C. aren't listening to this, but you know what's interesting?
These people are power hungry, which is actually okay at times, because when people are power hungry, they're going to actually listen to the people that give them power, the voters.
And since they're so power hungry, as they listen to their voters, they realize that the song that their voters are giving them is, I want to get the heck out of Ukraine.
Okay, Vivek Ramaswamy, Cut 36.
What does he have to say about this?
Play Cut 36.
Vivek Ramaswamy, meanwhile, who you just saw, who announced for president on this show a few weeks back, responded with what was effectively an essay.
It was so tightly argued and sharp, it probably should be a Wall Street Journal piece.
We hope it becomes one.
China wants the Ukraine war to last as long as possible to deplete Western military capacity before invading Taiwan.
It's working.
We think we appear stronger by helping Ukraine, but actually become weaker vis-a-vis China.
We've spent 20 years droning people in caves in the Middle East and Central Asia and have little to show for it.
Eroding Faith in Institutions 00:12:32
We should be taking out the people who have caused the deaths of more than 100,000 Americans every year, the Mexican drug cartels.
If I were president right now, I would limit any further funding or support to Ukraine.
Ukraine is not in the top five of American foreign policy priorities right now, and yet merely questioning whether the money we spend on the war is being done effectively or perhaps even prolonging the war is seen as disloyal.
We get accused by both Democrats and Republicans of being, quote, Putin sympathizers.
The Washington Uniparty and defense contractors want this conflict to go on forever.
For the sake of the global economy and peace, we should be doing everything we can to end it tomorrow.
Show me you went to Harvard and Yale without showing me you went to Harvard and Yale.
All kidding aside, Vivek is super smart, way smarter than I am.
And I mean, I could just see he was probably just typing this on his phone as he was going to an event.
And by the way, the theme that Vivek is hitting on is exactly the same thing as Trump.
Pence is the only outlier.
We'll get to some of the other outliers.
But it is promising.
It shows that they're starting to listen to you, the voters.

So I'm going to keep going through the list of candidates here, but I find it to be really interesting before we go any further.
The old Republican Party, and Obama actually used this against Mitt Romney, was one where he was saying Mitt Romney was too anti-Russia.
Now, interestingly enough, Obama represented, he was an awful president, one of the worst presidents in American history, period.
I think Obama hated America.
Obama, though, did represent the base of the Democrat Party that was war fatigued.
Remember, the energy of the Democrat Party in the 2000s was anti-Iraq war protests.
The life force of the Democrat Party in the 2000s was not racial politics.
It was not medically mutilating children.
It was not even wealth confiscation of billionaires.
It was anti-war protests.
What brought George W. Bush's approval rating down to 36, 38%?
It was one of the strongest critiques against John McCain in the 2008 election.
So Obama knew that.
So Obama was trying to keep together the anti-war coalition, even though he himself was launching drone strikes and wars all across the Middle East.
But even he thought that Mitt Romney was going too far.
Remember, Putin annexed Crimea when Obama was president.
Wasn't that big of a deal.
I mean, it happened.
They're like, well, we don't want to stop him from doing it.
But now we have to try to re-liberate Crimea.
Just an interesting flashback to how things have changed.
Play Cut 42.
Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al-Qaeda is a threat because a few months ago, when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia.
Not Al-Qaeda.
You said Russia.
In the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.
But, Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.
Now, he obviously rehearsed that and was successful against Mitt Romney.
And by the way, you look at the picture of them, you almost ask yourself the question, in 2023, what's the difference?
They basically agree on everything.
Open borders, awful trade deals, except in that clip, Mitt Romney was more of a neocon than Obama.
And the Democrat Party used to get this.
Now they're completely lost.
Now it's the opposite.
But let's keep on going through this.
How do the Republicans that want to be president stand on this?
Christy Noam responded, interesting.
Is she going to run for president or is she kind of running for vice president?
Her stock seems to be going up recently.
Play cut 37.
Governor Christy Noam of South Dakota echoed some of these points.
The primary external threat to the United States is communist China, she writes.
And then she added another point that you rarely hear and not often enough.
Quote, the United States has come to rely far too heavily on financial sanctions as a weapon of deterrence.
Now the nations that hate America are consciously moving away from the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.
Sanctions against China, Iran, and Russia have bolstered the Russian ruble and enabled China to establish trade in Chinese money rather than in U.S. dollars.
That is true, provably true.
And you wonder why so few in Congress, which passed these sanctions, will acknowledge it.
Now, Christy Noam is carving out a very interesting niche for herself, and I think it's really exciting and important where she vetoed a bill last week that would have excluded cryptocurrency from being used in the South Dakota's commercial code.
It didn't get a lot of coverage.
She went on Tucker Carlson to discuss that, which is interesting because Christy Noam and Tucker kind of had some acrimony a couple years ago.
A couple years ago, you might remember Christy Noam went on Tucker's program about the medical mutilation of children, and the segment didn't really go that well, and there was some back and forth.
The fact that Tucker invited Christy Noam back shows that Tucker is magnanimous and also memories are short in politics.
But more importantly, it shows that Christy Noam did something noteworthy, which she absolutely did, and it deserves to be celebrated, where her statement about Ukraine was about currency.
She vetoed this bill in South Dakota because she said, quote, it opens the door to the risk the federal government can more easily adopt a centralized digital currency, which then may become the only viable digital currency.
The head of the South Dakota Bankers Association said, we're disappointed.
We disagree at the points that she stated in her veto message.
Well, you can be disappointed, but we have to take a big stand against digital currency.
And I'm afraid, by the way, as a corollary to this, before we go even deeper, this Silicon Valley Bank and the bailout of the Silicon Valley companies and the depositors there, I think the buried lead here is that post this banking crisis, they're really going to push for a one-size-fits-all digital currency.
A great reset, if you will, which we have been warning about and called conspiracy theorists by people on the right and the left.
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Well, maybe one way you get people to own nothing is you break the American banking system.
Greg Abbott, who may or may not be running for president, but I would like to see Greg Abbott focus on the invasion on the United States southern border happening at Texas.
Why is Greg Abbott, the Republican governor, not solving that?
Just putting up barricades, mobilize the military, arrest them all, deport them back to the place of origin, and declare war on the cartels.
It's not hard.
You're the governor of a state.
You're being invaded.
Anyway, play cut 38, Greg Abbott.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, meanwhile, was not quite so bold or precise, but in spirit, he seemed to agree with most of the rest of the Republican candidates.
President Biden's blank check foreign policy in Ukraine has diverted funding from essential needs of the United States.
Throwing money at Ukraine with no accountability or objective is clearly failing.
End quote.
Tim Scott is also running for the presidency.
He is much, he's more in the kind of mold of a neoliberal play cut 49.
Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, by the way, did not send a statement, but instead a transcript from a hit he did on Trey Gowdy's weekend show here on Fox.
Not many details in it, but Scott did call for, quote, degrading the Russian military.
He did not explain what the point of that might be.
And finally, Chris Christie, PlayCut 40, has comments on the Ukraine-Russia situation.
You can start to see as we get more and further, further away from Trump, it becomes more and more milquetoast.
As you kind of get back into that neoliberal DNA, you're like, boy, this is just a bunch of abstractions.
There's no details.
I don't think I should trust you with power.
Play cut 40.
And finally, Chris Christie is still around.
It's still full of bombast, still a sporty character.
In fact, if anything, Christie seems to become even more orthodox as a neocon.
He calls in the U.S. military to fight and win a war against both Russia and China simultaneously.
Otherwise, he warns Iran and North Korea could take over the world.
Yeah, that's the biggest concern: Iran and North Korea is going to take over the world if we don't fight China and Russia simultaneously.
The party is changing for the better, and you hold the power.
And so, as these candidates, as they start to come to your states, here's what I want to encourage the Charlie Kirk show audience to do.
Here's what I want to encourage you to do: you can change the Republican Party for the better.
And I say, oh, Charlie, how?
Well, especially if you live in Iowa and especially if you live in New Hampshire, and I'm not talking about voting, that's important.
I'm talking about something actually more fun than voting.
If you live in South Carolina, if you live in Nevada, when these candidates come to your state, take out your phone and go up to them and say, I am a conservative America first MAGA voter.
Hello, Chris Christie.
Hello, Tim Scott.
Hello, Nikki Haley.
How are you?
Can you please explain to me specifically how much money is too much money to spend on Ukraine and film it?
Do it respectfully, but get involved in the process.
These video clips will go viral, everybody.
These candidates are not used to the new party that has been born, which is a grassroots party.
Ask them questions.
Do so in a way where, you know, it's not, don't do it tastefully.
Let me put it that way.
Go to the town halls.
They want power so badly.
Oh, these people want power.
So they got to talk to the voters that they're asking for power from.
I want power.
Okay, well, then answer me the question: how much money is too much money to send to Ukraine?
If you can't answer enough, if you can't give me a number, well, then we got a problem.
If you can't give me a specific dollar figure, then why exactly do you want to be president?
Or are you just trying to say the right thing to become president and then stab us in the back?
Joe Rogan has been, he's all over the place on certain issues, but he's certainly been right on a couple in the last couple of weeks.
This is the muscular class, working class consensus.
Why are Republicans in D.C. so disconnected from the everyday man, Joe Rogan, who's far from a right-winger, play cut 13?
It's a very strange time where I don't think people have a lot of faith right now in institutions, and I don't think they have a lot of faith in authority.
I don't think they really believe that there is someone who is wiser than them that has a grand plan that's logical, that's workable, where they're looking out for all of us.
So I think there's like a feeling of chaos that exists today that I don't think has ever existed in my life like this before.
You see Pete Bodig and Kamala Harris and Biden can't get a sentence out.
You're like, this is badness.
These people are utter fools.
And I don't have any faith in them.
And I think most people don't.
I don't have faith in them either, Joe Rogan.
And that is well said and properly communicated.
And that's not good, by the way.
I don't want to live in a country where I have no faith in any of my leaders.
I want to be able to trust my public health authorities.
I want to be able to trust my national security apparatus.
I want to trust our border policy.
I trust Border Patrol, but I don't trust the border policy.
It's not sustainable.
Stanford Law Judge Response 00:05:08
I wrote the book College Scam.
In fact, it's right back there next to my Rumble.
I got Rumble sent me this nice thing because we have a million subscribers now on Rumble, R-U-M-B-L-E.com.
And so you might see that little green thing in the back.
That's our little Rumble thing.
Depending on the definition of how you're watching this program today, also, the college scam is back there.
And one of the arguments I make on the college scam is that we are creating a generation of angry activists who are getting degrees in ingratitude.
And I remember being in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the great Foster Freeze.
May he rest in peace.
Oh, what a great man Foster was.
And we were at, we were doing a fundraiser for Turning Point USA, and I kind of wear my beliefs on my sleeve.
And I was very clear to a gentleman who is many years my senior.
He said, Charlie, I think you're totally wrong on college.
He said, my grandkids are going to go to college.
College is one of the greatest things in America.
College is great.
It enriches people's experience.
College is fabulous.
And I said, well, be careful because you might send your kids to college and they may no longer, or grandkids, they may no longer share your values.
So last Thursday, Stanford Law School Federalist Society hosted an event with Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan.
Well, it was supposed to, but the event was derailed by an army of law students who want to become lawyers, who screeched and hollered to keep it from happening.
This isn't some big state school.
This is a top three law school in America.
Kids who have a fast track to Supreme Court clerkships and jobs at top firms.
By the way, at Yale, they did the same thing last year.
Most inexcusably, though, after the students were disruptive, they were joined by Tyrion Steinbeck, Stanford's quote, associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion, who was supposed to be running the event.
Instead of chastising the students, Steinbeck actually delivered a babbling six-minute speech attacking the federal judge.
She said that Duncan's work had caused harm to students there, asking the question: is the juice worth the squeeze?
Do you have something so incredibly important to say about Twitter and guns and COVID that this has impact on these people?
So basically, a federal judge traveled all the way to Stanford to give a speech and instead ran into a calculated play by a member of Stanford staff where they threw student activists after them at one of the top law schools in the country.
This is not Oberlin.
This is not UC Berkeley.
And by the way, hilariously, when I go to UC Berkeley, they treat me with more respect.
Play cut 44 to watch it yourself.
A federal judge being heckled in real time by law students at Stanford.
These are your future FBI agents.
These are your future Supreme Court clerks.
These are your future federal judges.
Play Cut 44.
And I'm just asking for the minister to sign up.
If you want a marketplace right here, this is probably what you want.
Take it.
Your advocacy, your opinions from the bench land as absolute disenfranchisement of their rights and Dusland.
And it's uncomfortable to say this to you as a person.
It's uncomfortable to say that for many people here, your work has caused harm, has caused harm.
And I know that must be uncomfortable to hear.
She's interrupting a federal judge.
Again, these are not just random sociology students.
These are not just random students studying North African lesbian poetry.
These are not just random students that are freshmen and intro to how to burn America.
Okay.
