In the past two months, Russia launches brutal attack and has moved weapons and equipment
00:01:12.500
to Ukraine. We've moved weapons and equipment to Ukraine at record speed. Thanks to the aid we
00:01:20.960
provided, Russian forces have been forced to retreat from Kiev. Doesn't mean they're not going to try to
00:01:25.720
come back, but they've retreated thus far. We've sent thousands of anti-armor, anti-missiles,
00:01:31.560
helicopters, drones, grenade launchers, machine guns, rifles, radar systems, more than 50 million
00:01:37.960
rounds of ammunition. The United States alone has provided 10 anti-armor systems for every Russian
00:01:45.260
tank that is in Ukraine. Ten to one. We're providing Ukraine significant, timely intelligence
00:01:51.440
to help them defend themselves against the Russian onslaught. And we're facilitating the significant
00:01:56.980
flow of weapons and systems to Ukraine from our allies and partners around the world, including
00:02:02.340
tanks, artillery and other weapons. That support is moving with unprecedented speed. Much, much of the
00:02:09.420
new equipment we've announced in the past two months, two weeks has already gotten to Ukraine,
00:02:14.680
where it can be put to direct use on the battlefield. However, we've almost exhausted what we call the
00:02:21.520
fancy phrase, the drawdown authority that Congress authorized Ukraine, authorized for Ukraine in a
00:02:27.960
bipartisan spending bill last month. Basically, we're out of money. And so that's why today, in order to
00:02:34.760
sustain Ukraine as it continues to fight, I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request.
00:02:41.220
It's going to keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave Ukrainian fighters
00:02:47.060
and continue delivering economic and humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people.
00:02:52.480
To support Ukraine today, the Biden-Harris administration is announcing two critical new packages of security
00:02:59.100
assistance that include significant new air defense capabilities, more ammunition for US-provided
00:03:05.000
HIMARS and anti-armor and motor systems, as well as rockets, artillery and tank ammunition that Ukraine is
00:03:12.380
using to defend itself. It is the 35th time the administration has authorized the use of presidential
00:03:18.720
drawdown authorities to send much-needed assistance to Ukraine to meet its immediate battlefield needs.
00:03:26.520
And we are also providing equipment throughout Ukraine's security assistance initiative to help Ukraine with its
00:03:32.400
longer term security assistance requirements are very excited to be here with Charlie Kirk, the founder
00:03:39.300
and president of Turning Point USA. Charlie, what can you tell us about this new effort that Turning Point's
00:03:44.540
launching Defund the War, defundthewar.com? Yeah, I mean, we we actually want to try to broker peace.
00:03:50.980
What a concept, right? I know, right? We've been asking some very, I think, important questions throughout this entire
00:03:58.000
proxy war of what a success look like. Why are we doing this? Do we really want to try to get us closer
00:04:04.480
to a nuclear armed conflict? For what purpose exactly? And our heart and our kind of goal and our mission
00:04:12.520
should be for peace as Americans. And our government is currently not doing that. The current regime is getting
00:04:18.520
us closer and closer towards an escalated conflict. And for what? I mean, there are people that are suffering.
00:04:23.700
There's massive amounts of refugees, not to mention America has spent literally probably over 200 billion dollars,
00:04:32.060
but at least 113 billion dollars on this war. And so we need to defund it. And we need to say that we need to try to
00:04:39.120
broker peace. We need to get closer to a place of reconciliation and resolution that Vladimir Putin and Ukraine should be
00:04:48.680
able to be able to be able to make a deal if America actually wanted a deal to happen. But our current
00:04:54.320
government does not want that. Instead, they want something completely different. It seems they want
00:04:58.560
war or carnage or a lot of all that nonsense. And we need to try to stop it. And so we're trying to
00:05:04.600
get people to sign the petition, get engaged, get involved, have this be a citizen people led movement.
00:05:12.340
Well, I think it's amazing, too, because, you know, Turning Point USA, the the conservative,
00:05:18.720
you know, student initially student focused organization is now the face of the anti-war
00:05:24.720
movement, apparently. You know, this is kind of like, you know, like the hippies of Woodstock and
00:05:29.960
Jimi Hendrix and everything that we remember from, you know, the 60s and 70s is the anti-war
00:05:37.060
movement was the position of the left. In fact, it was the core of the left
00:05:41.200
for an entire generation. And yet somehow along the line and along the way, it's just been
00:05:48.800
completely abandoned as a position. And here we are, you know, quote unquote, on the right or
00:05:54.620
whatever you want to call it, you know, that we are saying, but we're not really saying it from
00:05:58.180
necessarily a position of that, you know, America should be weak. We're saying it from a position of
00:06:02.860
we should seek alternate means to expand our influence throughout the world and also that we
00:06:08.400
should reconstitute our republic by focusing on what matters at home rather than seeking
00:06:12.940
these adventures abroad. Yeah. And then just what what what is the best case scenario here?
00:06:18.620
I'd love to have one of these lawmakers come on my program, your program and say, OK, let's game
00:06:22.940
this out. I mean, how does this end? And that the new stated position, the national security state
00:06:27.900
is the total reclamation of Ukraine and say, OK, well, what is Ukraine? Does that include Crimea?
00:06:32.720
And some will say yes. I'll say, well, that's really stupid. That's that's a really dumb take.
00:06:39.400
And they'll say, oh, no, we got to go back to pre 2014 annexation. And Jack, you know,
00:06:43.880
the geography even better than I do. But they all have different answers. And so there needs to be
00:06:50.040
a prudent and let's just say moderate reconciliation or resolution where the eastern part of Ukraine,
00:06:57.420
Ukraine especially, which are majority Russian speaking. They want to be part of the Russian
00:07:01.800
Federation. They can have their own elections and they have had their own elections, be part of the
00:07:06.380
Russian Federation. There needs to be a ceasefire that is brokered and the war is ended. Why is this
00:07:11.980
so controversial? And by the way, it's not even a matter of being a dove or a hawk. My I my love is
00:07:18.440
of America. The longer this war goes on, the worse it is for our country, the worse it is for the West.
00:07:23.720
The idea of the destabilization of the dollar, actually, all roads go back to eastern Ukraine.
00:07:30.420
I mean, if this war never happened, we would not even having conversations about the dollar
00:07:37.160
losing its world reserve status and currency status. And so they're all it's all interconnected
00:07:41.840
in that sense. We should be focused on the Chinese Communist Party and what they're trying to do,
00:07:47.220
not the Russian Federation. I go as far to say that Russia should be an ally of the United States
00:07:52.900
against the CCP. I'm not pro Russian. I'm not pro Putin. I don't think highly of their government.
00:07:58.020
Obviously, they have a completely set set a different of structure of government than we do.
00:08:02.980
But also, you must be willing sometimes to do deals with less than desirable actors if it benefits
00:08:08.360
your own country. And it's just remarkable to see, Jack, every country except America right now
00:08:14.420
is acting in their own interest across the world. We are the only player that continually acts
00:08:20.320
against our own interest at every single corner and turn. So we're doing this effort to try to get
00:08:26.900
you to have your voice heard. When you confront lawmakers on this, they get skittish. They know
00:08:32.120
they're in the wrong. I've had senators on my program. I've asked them direct questions.
00:08:36.220
What does success look like? How much money is too much money? Why are you sending the equivalent
00:08:40.960
of two North Dakotas as their GDP to Ukraine? And it's just kind of a lot of abstractions.
00:08:47.140
We need concrete answers. We need to have citizens lead this. And I'm hopeful because
00:08:53.280
the American people are increasingly upset and not supportive of this proxy war in eastern Ukraine.
00:08:58.580
A lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way what corporations treat us
00:09:05.900
and their employees. But it's not enough to complain. We need to change the way the marketplace
00:09:09.620
works. And that starts with you and where you spend your money. In less than a year,

00:09:55.700
Well, that's exactly right, Charlie. And to your point, as we sit here today and we look around
00:10:02.680
the world, we see the rise of the BRICS nations. We see the fall of the petrodollar. Mexico,
00:10:07.520
our southern neighbor, which by rights, as a member of the U.S.-China, excuse me,
00:10:13.060
U.S.-Mexico trade deal, a former member of NAFTA, you'd think that we would never allow Mexico to go
00:10:21.080
seeking deals with our competitors. Correct. And yet that's what they're going into. This is a,
00:10:25.680
this represent, and nobody's even talking about this. We talked about the show yesterday,
00:10:29.060
that this is one of the most massive failures of the entire U.S. foreign policy, not just Biden or
00:10:35.280
Blinken or, or Victoria Nguyen. I mean, this is insane. The idea that our neighbor that should be
00:10:40.760
our economic, our closest economic trade partner after Canada should be Mexico just by rights. And if
00:10:46.480
we are a great power, we should be able to prevent them from doing this. Completely mismanaged that
00:10:51.920
relationship to the point where our greatest competitor is now coming up right onto and even
00:10:57.480
increasing across our own border. And Charlie, to your point, the fact that we've been reduced and
00:11:03.160
so bogged down in this proxy war, what's going on in the Taiwan Strait right now? What's going on is
00:11:07.820
that China is already enacting a soft blockade of Taiwan, saying that we're going to be inspecting
00:11:15.760
cargo, inspecting maritime cargo with who? The People's Liberation Army Navy. You've got an
00:11:20.780
aircraft carrier, the Chinese aircraft carrier off the coast of Taiwan, the U.S. Nimitz off the
00:11:25.560
coast of Taiwan. All of this is happening at the same time. What are we going to do? We're going to
00:11:29.400
have two wars at the same time and two globes, two proxy wars. It doesn't make any sense. And to your
00:11:34.660
point earlier about what our policy should be with Russia, Prince Clemens von Metternich,
00:11:41.420
if the Australian diplomat, this is around World War Two, he was World War One. He was making this
00:11:46.820
point. He said in a world of three, be one in a world of three. The one have you have your allies
00:11:55.900
and then target and isolate the people who are your competitors. Why would we make all of our
00:12:01.400
competitors join up against us? It makes no sense. The United States in World War Two was able to work
00:12:09.460
with the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany. Did that mean we liked the Soviet Union? Did that
00:12:14.920
mean that we were buddy buddy, that we co-opted at the end and gave moral justification to everything
00:12:20.200
that the Soviet Union was doing? Of course not. But it meant that we joined together and were able to do
00:12:25.180
so because of that. Go to the flip side of that. Kissinger, Nixon, what do they do in the 1970s? They
00:12:31.380
went to China in order to box in the Soviet Union. It's such an obvious move. The United States has used
00:12:37.420
it multiple times in the past. But for some reason now we're told, no, the United States should pursue
00:12:43.340
this this global hegemony, pursue this global regime that we believed in Fukuyama's end of
00:12:50.880
history that happened with the fall of the Soviet Union and that the United States would be the big
00:12:55.540
dog forever. Well, it turns out that history didn't end, unfortunately. And we find ourselves in a
00:13:00.080
situation where we're spending ourselves into insanity. And just to put it in real terms for everybody,
00:13:06.440
we've committed and we've crunched the numbers and you can go to defundthewar.com. I think they're
00:13:12.540
going to get the numbers up if they're not there now. And people can go see this when they sign the
00:13:16.600
petition to defundthewar.com. $112 billion just last year. And I actually looked this up before we
00:13:22.900
came on, Charlie. It would cost $20 billion, $20 billion to man armed security and create
00:13:32.100
safe schools across the entire country right now here in the United States. And that's an issue
00:13:38.520
where, by the way, I think conservatives haven't been great on in terms of the way they respond to
00:13:43.280
school shootings like we just had here in Nashville at the Christian school there. We say, well, we need
00:13:47.140
to keep our guns. We need to keep our guns. And OK, I get that. But that's not what parents are
00:13:51.400
feeling right now. Parents are feeling, how are you keeping the kids safe?
00:13:53.980
Yeah, you should have armed guards in every school. I mean, and then somehow the other complaint that
00:13:59.560
we have and the other issue is so we care about the sovereignty of Ukraine while 5,000 people are
00:14:05.380
coming into our country every single day. I mean, $5 billion could secure our border. And yet we're
00:14:10.420
sending hundreds of billions of dollars abroad. And we have politicians in both political parties
00:14:15.260
that are supportive of it. It's an outrage. And so we should try to demand our leaders broker peace.
00:14:20.540
Why are we not talking about peace deals? Why is there not an active, relentless effort to try to
00:14:27.820
bring the parties together and say, stop killing each other, stop killing women and children and get
00:14:32.960
to a place of peace? Charlie, is there a financial element possibly, do you think, for some of our
00:14:38.520
political leaders to keeping the war going? I mean, I couldn't imagine that people could be making
00:14:42.840
money off of such a thing. Yeah, I mean, of course there is. I mean, there's Northup Grumman,
00:14:46.100
Lockheed Martin, there's Raytheon, there's Boeing, not to mention, I mean, this is some speculation,
00:14:53.200
but not too much speculation. We know the Biden family made a lot of money off of business
00:14:57.460
relationships with Ukraine, with Burisma and Hunter Biden. We don't know the extent,
00:15:02.320
we do not know the severity, but it seems as if all roads lead to Ukraine. And Jack,
00:15:05.940
you've talked about this before. In the first impeachment, it was all about Ukraine. It was all
00:15:11.020
about Ukraine. And so Ukraine just, it seems to be kind of the intersection of so much of the
00:15:17.100
national security, deep state interests of the corrupt foreign actors and money laundering
00:15:21.700
activities. And so, yeah, of course, I mean, there's a financial advantage to this, but you end
00:15:26.220
Afghanistan and six months later, you get a much higher stakes, potentially even more expensive war.
00:15:33.700
And for what? Why are we fighting Vladimir Putin? Like, why are we doing this? And I mean,
00:15:39.220
I asked the guy in the show, I said, so why is Russia a threat to the United States? He's like,
00:15:43.580
oh, well, their values are not ours because they put their political dissidents in prison.
00:15:49.180
Yeah. Okay. Well, we do that too. I mean, so, okay, why else do we hate them? I'm not a fan of
00:15:53.280
their, I think they're a bunch of thugs, but like, why are they a direct threat? There's a lot of
00:15:56.500
countries I don't like that I don't think we should go to war against. A lot of countries are not
00:16:00.040
exactly the form of government relations with Saudi Arabia for, no, let's just use a more
00:16:05.140
immediate example. I think Canada is like really totalitarian and awful. I don't think we should
00:16:08.740
go to war against Canada. I think that would be a mistake, right? I mean, yes, I'm just saying,
00:16:13.340
but like Saudi Arabia is like an easy example, but Canada is easier, right? It's right on our border.
00:16:18.100
They're super totalitarian and they're the worst on the trans stuff. Okay. I'm not calling for an
00:16:23.600
invasion of Canada or to fund some sort of proxy war against them. And they say, oh, it's not the same
00:16:28.440
because cold war. Exactly. You cannot defend it. And so the other argument that my friend and Salem
00:16:35.080
colleague, Sebastian Gorka would make is he says, well, it's their 1776 moment. No, it isn't. Okay.
00:16:41.700
First of all, 1776 moments are rare. And yes, the promise of 1776 is universal, but if you do not
00:16:49.680
have, in my opinion, the decades of work that go and led to 1776, you are not ready for self-government.
00:16:57.240
All people deserve self-government and everybody's ready for it. But even if it was their 1776 moment,
00:17:03.240
but it makes no sense if they already had a sovereign country before. So wait, they're,
00:17:08.360
they're defending against an invasion and that's their 1776 moment. Well, I mean, I just, it's not
00:17:13.840
even a good comparison. I can, I can even tease that out a little bit because, okay, so I guess in,
00:17:19.060
in, if you're going to use that comparison, you would say that, you know, basically the U S is like
00:17:22.820
the French. That's correct. So that is, that is the analogy that is, you know, supporting
00:17:27.140
the freedom fighters. But if you remember in the revolutionary war, you, you know, you just
00:17:32.920
mentioned Canada, there was an attempted invasion of Canada because at one point the continental army
00:17:38.080
was trying to take all of the British colonies, which included the colonies of which later became
00:17:43.880
Canada. This by the way, was led by none other than infamously by Benedict Arnold gender,
00:17:49.320
general Benedict Arnold, who later, you know, basically flip sides. He turned his code. He
00:17:54.540
viewed, he said that the continental army didn't give him support, et cetera, et cetera. But my point
00:17:59.080
is there was territory that was lost in that war that didn't make it into the new nation. There was
00:18:07.080
eventually a peace deal that was signed. Eventually it became what too expensive for the country that was
00:18:14.900
all the way across the ocean that was funding the army. So part of this, by the way, when you look
00:18:21.840
at the money flow of it and you just look at the simple geography of what's going on, we also kind
00:18:27.260
of share some of the cognates with the British empire. If you're going to go back to 1776 as well.
00:18:32.620
It's just, it's not, it's not a good comparison. And I think, and I mean this as respectfully as
00:18:38.180
possible to people that believe this, like my colleague and friend, Sebastian Gorka, I think it's,
00:18:43.120
I think it's preying on people's love and admiration of 1776 in America to have them fund
00:18:48.960
a war that is not the same thing. Right. I think, I think it's exactly right. It's a misrepresentation
00:18:53.240
of, it's a misrepresentation of the core narrative of America. It's, it's part of our, it's our origin
00:18:59.560
story, right? It is our founding origin story, our founding mythos, if you will. Yes. And using that
00:19:06.980
to say, therefore, right. I mean, you love this therefore, and if not, you're against our founding,
00:19:11.940
or you're somehow against 1776. Yeah. You're against our origin. So that's exactly right.
00:19:15.640
You're against our origin story. You're like, no, actually I'm for America. Okay. Like this,
00:19:18.220
this was, that would, by the way, that wasn't the first person to make this argument. If I remember
00:19:22.580
correctly was Thomas Jefferson, when he supported the French revolution and saying that the United,
00:19:27.060
the fledgling then at the time, American nation should also be supporting the French revolution,
00:19:31.840
which if I remember correctly, worked out really, really well for France.
00:19:35.000
Yeah. The French revolution was a masterclass in what happens when you try to recreate nature in
00:19:41.780
your image. There's a, there's a lot of lessons there, but yeah, to kind of summarize this all
00:19:45.140
together, we're doing this for a reason. First of all, I do not see other organizations, other groups
00:19:48.860
on the right or the left trying to call for a ceasefire. AOC, Ilhan Omar, they, they want this war.
00:19:55.860
It's, they don't dare speak out against it. You can, this has been such a frustrating moment,
00:20:00.720
Jack of just how cowardly and how weak both sides are on this. It's just, it's unacceptable. I mean,
00:20:08.500
Bernie Sanders forever has been against war and all this, and he's for this thing. It's just,
00:20:13.880
there's something about Putin that just makes them go absolutely nuts. And again, I'm not a fan of
00:20:19.540
Putin. I don't think he's a good person. I, I don't think he's someone that we should admire
00:20:23.460
or someone that we should lift up. I don't think it's someone that we should revere, but I also don't
00:20:27.460
want to go to war against him. I also think he could be helpful and that you, both those things
00:20:33.720
can be true simultaneously. That is what a mature people does, right? And so therefore you ask
00:20:40.620
yourself the question, what is best for America? Oh, the best thing should be to secure our own
00:20:44.380
border. Okay. That's pretty simple. And then what's the best for America and East Ukraine and the war
00:20:49.680
it is in the benefit of the West and all free people to end the war. The only people that benefit
00:20:57.420
from the war continuing are military defense, military defense contractors, power hungry
00:21:04.780
politicians. And that's about it. I mean, I don't even think Zelensky is benefiting from the war,
00:21:10.980
right? I, I, I don't know why he's, I think Zelensky just does whatever the CIA tells him to do,
00:21:15.460
but this should be an overwhelming call to end this because where this is headed, Jack is going
00:21:22.040
to be a five to 10 year, you know, war where you have like a month of heavy fighting and then a month
00:21:28.120
off and a month of heavy fighting and, you know, and Putin can grind this down and we want that to
00:21:33.220
happen. No, get involved in the sense of we're not going to supply weapons. This has been fun folks.
00:21:38.920
It's over. Why are we not bringing the Russian ambassador and the Ukrainian team in a room and
00:21:46.180
hammering out a deal, at least trying to do that. And don't send that little, you know, elevated
00:21:50.780
teenager, Emmanuel Macron, like that's not going to work. Okay. You send, send the French do anything
00:21:54.480
consequential. It's going to get messed up. He was, he was just laughed out of Beijing. No,
00:21:57.980
that, I mean, it's just a joke, right? Emmanuel Macron is sitting on like a 40 foot table with
00:22:02.080
Vladimir Putin, you know, for social distancing, trying to, as soon as that happened, I said,
00:22:05.800
Putin's invading like this, this whole thing's a farce, right? Um, it's going to take an American,
00:22:11.440
right? Not Biden. Um, and I mean, it could be, could be Trump actually this precedent for a
00:22:17.540
former president actually help an active president when Eisenhower came into the white house to help
00:22:21.300
JFK with the Cuban missile crisis. Interesting side of history that people don't know. Uh, but
00:22:25.340
that's not going to happen because of politics. This really is Charlie. This is, this shows the
00:22:28.960
difference between sort of the, the global outlook type of politics versus an America first
00:22:35.440
outlook on politics. It's not us saying that we're going to impose our values on the world and
00:22:40.420
we're going to make the world look like us or make it look like the way we want it to. It's just not
00:22:45.520
saying what's good for the American people first. I mean, trust me, you can go around the world and
00:22:50.740
find all sorts of problems. Yes. I mean, go to, go to Yemen. I mean, Yemen's not exactly a darling of
00:22:57.340
democracy. I mean, just go to Southeast Asia, go to Indonesia. Like they don't exactly have
00:23:02.280
religious freedom the way we would like it there. I mean, go to Central America. They got cartels
00:23:06.600
running their countries. Right. And so, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of problems in the world.
00:23:09.860
We're a broken, we're a broken being, the human being, we have original sin. And so it is not good
00:23:15.540
what's happening in Eastern Ukraine. I don't want Russia to win. I don't want, you know, them to be
00:23:19.940
successful. That's not the point. The point is I want America to win. I want us to win. We are not
00:23:24.720
winning in this current situation and our leaders are so corrupt and so weak. And they're so in this kind of
00:23:30.420
octogenarian mindset. Wow. Russia, Soviet union, cold war. Yeah. Actually that's not how we've got
00:23:37.220
about one minute left. Where can people go? Why should they go and sign this up? I think it's
00:23:42.160
defund the war.com. Is that right guys? Defund the war.com. Right. Yeah. Defund the war.com. Sign
00:23:47.860
the petition. We're going to keep on making noise about this. Any politician, any leader in any party
00:23:53.020
is welcome on our program. The mission of turning point USA is always educational. I hope we can educate
00:23:58.060
people on this and to get people to want to do something about it. I I'm deeply troubled and
00:24:03.580
worried about how much money we've spent, how much we've screwed up that region, how we are getting
00:24:07.860
closer to a permanent conflict and how our leaders have just completely turned their back on, you know,
00:24:14.000
what is best for America. So I hope we can do something to change that. That's exactly right.
00:24:18.220
Charlie Kirk, everyone, the founder, president of turning point USA, Charlie, before I go, got to say,
00:24:22.360
by the way, man, happy Easter. Happy Easter. He is risen. God bless you, Jack. Thank you. He is risen
00:24:26.860
indeed. God bless. Ladies and gentlemen, the website is defund the war.com. As always,
