00:00:00.000Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, why should we care about the Ukrainian-Russian border?
00:00:05.000Is that a concern to the United States?
00:00:08.000Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:10.000If you want to support our show, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:13.000That's charliekirk.com/slash support to get behind the work we are doing.
00:00:18.000I want to thank some of our supporters right now that have gotten behind us so generously: Tina from Alabama, Anthony from California, Janice from Hawaii, Linda from Michigan, Deborah from Illinois, Quinn from Texas, Kathy from West Virginia, Molly from Arkansas, Linda from Texas, James from Oregon, Diane from Illinois, Sharon from California, Thomas from Florida, and also Robert from Florida.
00:01:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:21.000Angelo Cotavia wrote the book literally called the Ruling Class.
00:02:25.000He was also probably one of the wisest foreign policy experts ever, and for those of you listening that want to get a really good understanding of how we should approach American foreign policy.
00:02:36.000Angelo Cotavia was one of the most prudent, one of the most fair and Pro-American thinkers and challenged the CIA and the security apparatus.
00:02:55.000The reason I bring up Angelo Cotavia and Michael Anton, who's with Hillsdale College.
00:02:59.000That's a great, actual reminder that I have to tell you about Hillsdale, the wonderful Hillsdale College Beacon OF THE North.
00:03:04.000Michael Anton, who is not doesn't necessarily agree with everything that Angelo Cotavia says, but is in some ways disciple.
00:03:12.000I I don't want to speak for him, but he he would say this better than I could which is, you should not get involved in foreign conflicts if you have extensive domestic problems at home.
00:03:28.000What are you doing, saber rattling across the world trying to resolve border disputes when our when our own border is wide open, we have inflation, the country is politically divided and you have a regime that is wildly unpopular.
00:03:44.000Well, that is exactly what the security apparatus is doing, Partly to distract away from the failed regime of Biden, but also to try and feed the fire of the military-industrial complex.
00:04:03.000Because, look, if you're the military-industrial complex, you're looking at Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson, and Johnson, Lockheed Martin, Northrop, Grumman, and Bowie, and they say, Hey, come on, cut us in for some of this.
00:04:41.000I'm not a fan of the Russian Federation.
00:04:44.000I believe that they are an enemy of the United States.
00:04:47.000And I say enemy somewhat reluctantly because, yeah, they attack us and all this, but they're nowhere even close to the comparable size or scope of what China could do to us.
00:06:04.000We are a species with limited time, limited energy, and limited resources.
00:06:08.000We all agree that limited time, limited energy, limited resources.
00:06:13.000Therefore, you must create a hierarchy of needs, wants, and demands of your time, your energy, and your resources.
00:06:18.000Therefore, when you create a hierarchy of your times, your time, your demand, and your resources, you must then create a plan or a, let's say, an agenda where you say this matters more than that.
00:06:35.000Why don't we have U.S. troops on the southern border?
00:06:38.000Why do we not have U.S. Marines on the southern border, Texas Border Patrol, a new Texas National Guard, I should say?
00:06:45.000No, it's because the American ruling class, including establishment Republicans, by the way, they are perfectly fine with an open southern border with America, but they want to make sure that the border with Ukraine and Russia is strictly controlled.
00:07:04.000Why don't we have satellite imagery of the southern border?
00:07:09.000Why is the New York Times not covering the fact?
00:07:11.000How many getaways have there been so far this year?
00:07:20.0001.7 million criminals that have waltzed into our country.
00:07:24.000Yet we have to be propagandized that the biggest concern to our republic is some sort of ancestral blood dispute over Russian-Ukrainian borders.
00:07:50.000If all of a sudden you think America's role with our time, our energy, and our resources needs to go police the border policy of another country while our own border policy is a laughingstock.
00:08:03.000Who are you actually representing, by the way?
00:08:21.000And I said, Mr. President, your legacy will be determined more by how this conflict turns out than anything else.
00:08:33.000So what you were listening to there was then Senator Joe Biden advising Bill Clinton to try and turn around the Monica Lewinsky scandal for getting involved in the Balkan controversy.
00:09:08.000So let's say you're president of the United States and you wake up one morning, look at your poll numbers and find yourself somewhat less popular than Chlamydia.
00:10:11.000I'm afraid my kids and grandkids are going to be learning that men can become pregnant.
00:10:15.000And I'm afraid my kids and grandkids are going to learn Mandarin over English.
00:10:19.000Those are the two things that bother me and worry me.
00:10:21.000Not that Vladimir Putin might go reclaim some hill that he thinks has some sort of significance because 10 generations ago, native Russians thinks it's theirs.
00:10:35.000Do not fall for the trap, everybody, by your politicians all of a sudden doing smokescreen like, ooh, this is because of Biden's weakness that Putin is going into this.
00:10:44.000And I will get, I think there is some truth to that to an extent.
00:10:49.000We have a national crisis happening here at home.
00:10:52.000It's called a 1.7 million person invasion of the southern border.
00:14:19.000Well, because Ukraine is so close to Russia and because they have these disputes, the United States security apparatus and military apparatus and political ruling class uses Ukraine as a pseudo-piggy bank on both sides, by the way.
00:14:34.000Paul Manafort was doing it and Hunter Biden was doing it.
00:14:37.000Both Republicans and Democrats have ties to Ukrainian gas companies because it's such a corrupt country and it's near Russia.
00:14:44.000It's justified to send a lot of American foreign taxpayer money there.
00:14:49.000And then through repatriation, American politicians go on diplomatic trips to Kiev with their kids and their nieces and their nephews and their spouses.
00:14:58.000And then magically, who knows how this happened, all of a sudden their kids become board members of those Ukrainian companies.
00:15:08.000And the fact, you know, we don't have an actually covers this stuff, but Burisma, of course, was the most famous.
00:15:18.000Where, remember, Trump was impeached over a phone call, a phone call, where he asked the president of Ukraine to investigate Biden as vice president.
00:15:28.000Remember, he said, we're going to get that prosecutor fired.
00:15:32.000All of that is tied right now to the fake saber rattling that is happening between the Russian and Ukrainian border.
00:15:41.000You see, the people that make money monthly off of the Ukrainian regime, such as the Biden family, where Hunter Biden made $83,000 a month sitting on barisma.
00:15:59.000So, of course, it's in the best interest of the Biden family to try and keep the conflict going.
00:16:26.000Enough of the, like, we have to come in and we got to solve everyone else's.
00:16:29.000That might have been a wonderful thing in the 1990s when we had a balanced budget and a secure southern border and our children loved the country and everyone said the Pledge of Allegiance and we didn't go rename schools that were called Abraham Lincoln.
00:16:44.000Must have been a wonderful thing to be able to solve all the world's problems in the Balkan Peninsula.
00:16:50.000You see, there's a thing called triage.
00:16:54.000When you go bring a patient into the hospital, and all of a sudden there's one that has a gunshot wound versus someone that has a paper cut, you're going to treat the gunshot wound first.
00:17:05.000You have to triage when you have limited time, energy, and resources.
00:18:16.000No matter what the government says, the holidays are coming, and I hope you'll be spending it with friends and family.
00:18:21.000It's never too late to start gift shopping for the holidays, especially because today you could save big on a gift they'll use every day, Raycon wireless earbuds.
00:19:59.000I'm a U.S. Border Patrol agent working in Yuma, Arizona.
00:20:02.000My colleagues and I are demoralized with the situation.
00:20:07.000Today, our upper leadership has told us to basically ignore the illegal aliens crossing into the border, across the border, because our station is maxed out to the limit.
00:20:17.000There are an estimated 1,500 people waiting to be transported to our station, but we're not allowed to transport them.
00:20:23.000I spoke to some illegals today and told them to go into the town to get food and water.
00:20:27.000Illegals are all over the river here in Yuma.
00:20:31.000That is a confidential email we got from a border patrol agent in Yuma, Arizona.
00:20:56.000And Chris Murphy lays awake at night, him and Lindsey Graham, plotting and planning about how they can expand the great American empire to places never before seen.
00:21:09.000They dream of a ground invasion of Singapore, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia all at once.
00:21:27.000Republicans right now in the Senate are blocking that amendment from being considered.
00:21:32.000We've got to get our Republican colleagues to understand this is the threat that many of us believe it to be.
00:21:37.000Yeah, I actually agree we should block it.
00:21:39.000We should not be the ones that are fueling a kinetic war against Ukraine and Russia.
00:21:45.000If we're the ones that all of a sudden give billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine and then it ends up being a war, who is Russia going to blame for that?
00:21:52.000That gets us closer to a war with Russia, not further away from one.
00:22:02.000Where is all of these NATO countries that are supposed to defend against Russia as if that's a big concern?
00:22:08.000See, Democrats used to be really dovish on Russia.
00:22:14.000Now they're hawkish on Russia because it benefits the capital flows that come from Ukraine.
00:22:19.000And by the way, the Biden family's on both sides of this.
00:22:22.000Hunter Biden's getting paid by the mayor of Moscow's wife and also by the burisma company.
00:22:27.000He says, what sold being sold to the highest bidder?
00:22:32.000Let's go to cut 32, where someone asked, should Americans be prepared for the likelihood to see American troops on the ground if Russia invades Ukraine?
00:23:30.000You're not supposed to say, I think Putin's a thug, okay?
00:23:32.000I think Putin's an autocrat, not a fan.
00:23:35.000With that being said, I'm really glad that Winston Churchill had the prudence, had the wisdom, and the willingness to get Joseph Stalin, an evil man, to the table and create a coalition with FDR to destroy the National Socialist Workers' Party.
00:24:13.000If the Soviet Union, because remember, the Soviet Union and the National Socialist Workers' Party run by Hitler, they were allies at one point.
00:24:21.000It wasn't until the maniacs from Berlin decided to push the Eastern Front because he wanted Russia so badly and he thought that the Kazakhs were a lesser than breed psychopath.
00:24:32.000But by the way, Stalin was also an evil person.
00:25:54.000Then last October, we showed you a photograph of Joe and Hunter Biden golfing with a board member of Burisma, Hunter Biden's business partner, a man called Devin Archer.
00:26:03.000The Biden campaign never explained that photograph.
00:26:05.000Our media, of course, never really followed up.
00:26:08.000We know that the Biden regime is directly tied into the Ukrainian capital flows.
00:26:15.000It is an ATM machine for the children and grandchildren of the American political ruling class.
00:26:20.000Now, there are rumors that John Kerry's family and Romney, I don't know if that's ever been proven.
00:26:25.000I don't know, have similar ties to Ukrainian companies.
00:26:28.000So a lot of people are emailing us about that.
00:26:35.000As I mentioned earlier, Michael Anton from the wonderful Hillsdale College, he would say, do not get involved in foreign conflicts unless you have agreement on the most fundamental things here at home.
00:26:47.000And then if you're going to get involved, it should be something that actually benefits you.
00:26:53.000We can't even figure out our own problems.
00:26:54.000Number two, how does a Russian-Ukrainian border dispute at all impact the life of an everyday person in Texas?
00:27:01.000No, seriously, someone explained that to me.
00:27:04.000How does a plumber who now has to pay more for gas, for food, for transportation, for durable goods, how does the Ukrainian-Russian dispute impact a muscular class member in the woodlands, Texas?
00:27:21.000No matter how you spin it, it doesn't.
00:27:24.000And speaking of Hillsdale College, as we celebrate the Christmas season, we often pause to consider our many blessings.
00:27:30.000Hillsdale College wishes to thank you for standing them as they celebrate over 177 years of blessings.
00:27:38.000Since 1844, the wonderful Hillsdale College has held fast to its mission to provide the kind of education essential to preserving free government.

00:28:00.000I've taken several Hillsdale online courses, and you should too.
00:28:04.000You know Hillsdale's refusal to take one penny of taxpayer-funded government money.

00:30:31.000Internet privacy is extremely important.
00:30:33.000New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
00:30:44.000So what are you doing to protect your search history?
00:30:47.000Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.
00:30:50.000Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
00:31:48.000ExpressVPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
00:31:59.000When we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:33:20.000Elon Musk was asked about the vaccine and said this: play Cut 43.
00:33:25.000It does not make sense to take the job of capital allocation away from people who have demonstrated great skill in capital allocation and give it to an entity that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation, which is the government.
00:33:41.000I mean, you can think of the government essentially as a corporation in the limits.
00:33:46.000The government is simply the biggest corporation with a monopoly on violence and where you have no recourse.
00:33:54.000I want to re-emphasize what he just said.
00:33:56.000That is one of the most red-pilled statements I've heard from anyone with a net worth over $100 billion.
00:34:02.000The government is simply a big corporation with a monopoly on violence.
00:34:07.000This is from a Wall Street Journal interview, and they have no recourse.
00:34:10.000Elon Musk has just articulated one of the core beliefs of the founding fathers better than anyone that I've seen in recent memory.
00:34:18.000The government has a monopoly on violence, and right now we do not have a check and balance against them.
00:34:24.000Your original thesis is now being articulated by the world's wealthiest man.
00:34:29.000Elon Musk was asked about the Biden multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better agenda during this same interview, asked, like, hey, seriously, shouldn't we just pass this wonderful bill?
00:34:40.000Elon Musk, the $300 billion man, was asked, play cut 50.
00:34:45.000Well, all right, but there's some other good things in this bill that some would argue.
00:34:49.000I mean, a lot of money earmarked for RD.
00:34:52.000Would you want to put that towards something?
00:37:01.000We used to have a system with an independent judiciary, checks and balances, where we could have a check on the monopoly of violence that the government would have.
00:37:11.000Elon is saying, if we do not have a restoration of the United States Constitution, separation of powers, then we're going to be in a tough spot.
00:37:20.000Elon Musk is a definition of a better ruler.
00:37:24.000And I have a feeling he's going to start to act even more.
00:37:27.000And he makes the collectivists very nervous.
00:37:33.000Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
